Why would you want to cure fear? Fear keeps me from giving in to a friend's bet and swallowing a live hamster. But seriously, unless you could target certain fears to help people with crippling phobias, this seems dangerous.
One of the most annoying things that people do is say stuff like, "Manual labor workers, your days are numbered! Machines are taking over! Someone built a robot that could lift a LEGO!" Or, "Artists, your days are numbered! A robot shat out a bunch of paint onto a canvas that resembled William Shatner!"
Nothing can replace human work on certain things.
Oh yes I'm definitely an Xbox fanboi, thats why I mod PS2s, GCs, and XBOXs! And I like the PS2 game wise more than the Xbox! Woot you hit it right on the head!
Yes, you can clearly predict the future of technology when you don't even know what a cell processor is.
Linux, but the apps and games made for linux dont utilize it!
And I don't know if you knew, but they can. The majority of the problem was that they switched DirectX, changed Nvidia to ATI, and went to a triple core PPC.
When you have source code for apps, it's not hard to change over to a different setup.
Wow. You obviously know nothing about cell or triple-core technologies.
The cell processor has 1 general purpose core, and 7 special purpose threads. The 360 is using a triple core general purpose processor. That means it has 3 general purpose 3 ghz processors, unlike the 1 general purpose the cell does. In order to utilize the full potential of the cell you would have to program for specific use all 7 threads. It's a pain in the ass, but you wouldn't know, you lack even common knowledge.
And yes, they do have XBOX loyalty. Xbox modding has proven to be much more powerful, but not just because of raw system power. The way the system was built was perfect for modders to utilize. Also, it'll be much easier to port current Xbox apps and utilities to the 360 than to any other system.
And many important developers have moved solely to 360 or plan on some 360 games.
So please, get your facts straight before you try to disprove anyone.
And also, unless homebrew developers wanna spend an assload of time learning to program for the cell processor and going through with it, the Xbox core will provide easier to work with.
If the PS2 is any representation of the protection Sony is going to put into all their future consoles, then using Linux for any kind of hacks/modding will most likely take forever and yield only moderate results.
The techies who actually know about the modding scene will go with the 360, considering it will most likely be much easier to mod and to port software from the original Xbox.
Plasma TVs now have a lifetime of around 50,000 hours. That means if you had your TV on for every minute of every hour of every year, it would last over 5 and a half years.
For the average user, it would last over 35 years.
Same with LCD, except the average lifetime is around 30,000 hours.
And $5000 sets? Consumer Plasma and LCD TVs are in the $2000-$3000 range.
I still don't understand why the FCC feels like they need to interfere with the standards of television. Can someone please explain why this is a necessity?

Jesus tap dancing christ, that thing is expensive. Looks like I'll be waiting at least a year or two to grab it.
No way, they just a preset input and output. They don't just use a compare, they judge the output after using a preset input.
I agree. Do they honestly think the GOVERNMENT will let this info get out if they don't want it to?
It's a good thing Fox news told all the /.ers that computer security is inadequate. I might not have ever heard this!

Sorry, by "And I don't know if you knew, but they can." I was talking about backwards compatibility. Long day of work D:

To the average person, there is very little difference between a $1700 Panasonic EDTV Plasma and a high end Zenith.
