"if the user doesn't like the resulting complexity of the interface, the proper response is to tell them to shut up"
Comments like that lead me to believe that you're one of those people that are the reason why people still prefer to use Windows.
If you're trying to get something to see the usefulness of your point of view, telling them to 'shut up' reveals you to be a trollish thug, and that association extends wo whatever you're trying to share.
So in short, yeah. People like you are what's wrong with Linux.
Oh, I hear that pretty often. Ever hear of a little something called a 'PR Department'? Short for Public Relations - in other words, there's an/entire department/ of people, who's only job is to make the company look better.
If he really thought like that, he'd never have done something like this in the first place.
Why on/earth/ would Sony care about Linux on PS3's?
And honestly, for the great majority of users, why on earth would you bother putting Linux on a PS3 (aside from 'because I can' and scientific stuff, for which there are better solutions and more interesting challenges), except to pirate games?
I'm having a really hard time finding out why I'm supposed to be as outraged as the tone of this suggests I should be.
Well, the easy answer is that Sony doesn't care very much about the online experience on the PS3, whereas the 360, with Xbox Live, is very much built around that. Quality isn't fast, or cheap.
If Microsoft wanted to milk this, they'd release it now, in a buggy, laggy, not Xbox Live integrated state.
However, in this case, they're spending time, money, and fans goodwill, to take the time to make sure the game, on release, is good and working.
When the cost of making this device is equal to or less than the value provided by it, it will be made.
Until then, since at the moment there would be no value provided by the creation of this that would be equal to or greater than the cost of its creation, the value expenditure won't be made.
What would you prefer, that this be rushed through without planning, server load testing, and figuring out exactly how it interacts with existing services?
Steve Cook has done more to damange the US space program than any foreign enemy government could hope for. Now that he's gone, maybe things can start to get back on track. He will/not/ be missed.
Uhm, you do realise that most of the mainstream media in the US is own by Rupert Murdoch, and other wealthy Republicans?
Unless... oh! You doublethink me, comrade! Yes, left-leaning, the liberal commie bastards, except for us, the fine nonpartizan dominant right-leaning virtous citizens! The truth is ours, and ours alone!

$100,000 isn't really that much money?
Hmm...
Got a couple dozens of thousands you could give me? I, uh, need the to, uh... get a coffee. Don't worry, it's not really expensive.

So, if I burned down your house, that wouldn't be an act of violence?
When in war, bombs are dropped on cities, that isn't violent?
When someone with a knife stabs the wall beside your head, that isn't violent either?
You've got a screwy sense of what is and isn't violent.

Break into my device and delete a product that /I PAID FOR/, and then, months later, offer me a fucking coupon?
Fuck you.
Y'know, under the exact wording of the law, your post qualified as what used to be 'hate speech'.
See the problem now?
You're worried about /blindless/? ...
You... really don't know how powerful these things are, do you?
That stopped being funny about three years ago.
The purpose of this tool is war. So, yes.

At least, it seems to be fixed on the west coast of Canada.
Well, in order to get instant success like that, there's only one thing to do:
Stop being ethical.

Why is that a bad thing?
Yeah, weird isn't it?
How the hell is spendingi money on compatibility and testing, and /not selling it/ during that process, 'milking it for every last penny'?
Bizzare groupthink going on in here sometimes.
Glad you support the free market!

The Free Market wins and works again!
What would you prefer, that this be rushed through without planning, server load testing, and figuring out exactly how it interacts with existing services?
Or, when it is released, that is works?
I prefer the second.
What evidence do you have that this is a dupe?
as I'm not in the military, but if I were, I'd rather /no/ brain damage, /or/ brain splattage.
I'm okay with this!
If they give me the game for free.
If they won't give me the ad-crippled game for free, then there's hundreds of really good games that /don't/ have ads, that I still haven't played yet.
It's sure meaningful when it becomes law enough to have police permanantly confiscating your computer for 'testing'.

Pay them? With who's money?
No, but your laptop can be permanantly seized, and you can be indefinately imprisoned for non-compliance.
That's right. If you don't like the other side to be able to voice their opinions, you aren't a liberal. You're a conservative. :)
