It's funny that your whole argument regarding how long the PS2's lifespan will be is based upon your personal considerations in when you plan to stop buying PS2 games and/or move on to a newer console.
" OK, interesting - but how do you get it to go back to normal?"
The text links went away for me when I clicked in the center of the ring.
"Considering that people can't know what's in the hidden part of the link before they click on it, it seems a little silly to me to prevent them from undoing the menu when they go to find out."

"FC4 worked just as expected, and installed painlessly. It is not bloated at all in fact, lots needs to be added to it to make it more useful, like, the automatic recognition and mounting of NTFS discs that are found when you install."
It installed painlessly for you. The author describes his personal experience in dealing with FC4 and how he viewed it. And why should critiques only be made privately? By opening up problems to the public [not just emailing those on the devel list], perhaps someone who is experienced with a problem being noted would join the development team. I just don't think your call for all this secrecy is even close to adhering to the spirit of open source. If people have problems with a distro [even if these are limited to their lack of knowledge] they should be allowed to voice them and not condemned for it. If we want a free market of ideas and someone is spreading FUD about a distro, that will come to light because [and this is the part you're trying to stop] people are free to voice their opinions on that distro.
I thought we wanted openness in open source software - including thoughts and opinions on the software produced. Getting feedback from end users is invaluable.
"It won't happen this time because it didn't happen last time."
Solid logic there. I've got a great plan. I'm going to predict that there will be no rain today. If it doesn't happen, then I'll predict the same thing for tomorrow. Thus, since my prediction didn't come true the first time, it won't ever happen. From that, there will be no more rain and the human race will go extinct because you have poor logical reasoning.
"Thai fisheries officials had hoped to release this adult male Mekong giant catfish after they stripped it of milt (above) for a captive-breeding program. But the whopping fish, which was as big a grizzly bear, didn't survive.
Listed a critically endangered by the World Conservation Union (IUCN), the Mekong giant catfish is one of the world's largest freshwater fishes. Other contenders include the Chinese paddlefish and the dog-eating catfish--another Mekong River giant."
You're suggesting a protest based on a conservation effort that was unable to preserve the fish? Or did you just blindly reply without the facts?
I am quite wealthy and don't mind paying $40.00 [UMD + DVD] for the convenience the double ownership affords me. You may pity me all you like but being able to watch a movie on my PSP from time to time is a very small luxury at a low price. A portable DVD player drops the total cost of portable movies by $20 but then I lose the functionality of the PSP that doesn't relate to playing movies. (I am not going to carry around both a DVD player and my PSP.)
I don't think you need to either pity me or talk about first posts.
I would guess that you're not a very good programmer. Of course, this is the Internet so you can make any claim you want but your attitude towards the fundamentals is quite telling. If you don't think understanding how to estimate running time and why being able to integrate is important to what you do, then you lack the tools needed to understand why what you're doing is not as good as it could be.
Higher education is not about learning a skill [or at least it shouldn't be] but about expanding and enhancing your ability to think. If all you got out of college was how to write C, you either went to a poor school or went in with entirely the wrong attitude.
So let media companies continue to abuse the American people and act as a de facto police force in order to expand the role of government in our lives? Funny - I want the government to protect me when large organizations are overstepping their authority. You respond by claiming the government shouldn't waste their time protecting the people but should instead expand their authority?

What was the "crazy idealism" specific to Java being implied then?
Since when is Java open source?

You're missing all of the mathematical background that makes up Computer Science. What you've proposed is Computer Programming.
