If you want Linux so badly, install it on a PC. I installed Linux on my PS3 for fun. It worked. I got bored after a couple of minutes (I already use Ubuntu 100% on my machines at home and work, apart from when I need to remote desktop into Windows servers). It's meant to be faster these days, but still it's rather pointless unless you're writing multicore research programs, or don't have a PC with Linux.
If they had included access to the 3D graphics capabilities then I'd be saying something completely different here, but the capabilities that they built in are pretty worthless, and only having 256MB (I think?) of RAM limits what apps you can run usefully.
I suspect there will be a crack soon anyway, that's why Sony are currently trying to lock things down. Maybe they will succeed. I don't really care either way. I probably wouldn't risk bricking my PS3. It's too useful to me as a games and multimedia machine. We'll soon be at the stage where you will be able to build a faster PC for less money anyway. Hopefully they will include a decent "Other OS" setup for PS4, but I doubt it. Especially considering they were making a loss on the early units and thousands of them were being bought up just for Linux based research projects..
Over here it's standard practice to get a student loan to cover university. Some people still supplement that with a job, but I lived fine off of my loan (and summer jobs) because I didn't waste hundreds of pounds a month drinking like almost all the other students in the UK seem to do.
And it was Counter-Strike and noodles/pasta for me back then, not BC2 and Cheetohs;)
Given the number of student protest organisations relative to other age groups, I'd have assumed that 20 was when most people have way too much time on their hands
Congratulations - you are a pedophile! Either that or a software engineer, but we've lost your paperwork and are just going to go with pedophile to save some time.
Does anyone know of an equivalent to having a hosts file that you can use in conjuction with a Windows or Linux DNS server so that you can just block sites at the actual DNS server rather than having to keep updating the hosts file blacklist on all clients?
We do actually have that option in the content filter on our firewall. When I enabled it before I got complaints from one of the directors because they actually click on ads -.-
I've noticed that when the lives of hundreds of thousands of people depend on a single piece of equipment, that it tends to be designed and tested to higher standards than cheap consumer equipment..
In Scotland school classes are from around 9am to 3:40. I had "Physical Education" classes a couple of times a week, each class was a double time slot meaning 80 minutes, but the exercise levels weren't very strenuous.
This cultural difference could explain why everyone here is so fat.
It's not "turn up when you like", it's just been moved an hour back. It probably also means working for an hour later. I know I find it much easier to get up when there is actual daylight. Over here school and university are usually from autumn to spring with a break over summer, meaning that for a lot of the year it's dark when I get up (and over winter it's even dark again when it's time go home..).
I wasn't really quibbling, just trying to point out where this percentage probably came from.
You will get different numbers every time you measure browser share, depending on which sites you take the data from, and bearing in mind that the balance will be shifting constantly too as people try different browsers (and some browsers or devices may spoof their headers to pretend to be a Windows machine with IE, etc). So shifting from 150%-160% between two different browser share reports doesn't seem very far fetched to me, it's actually pretty damn close compared to some of the differences I've seen from one report to the next (from reports made at around the same time too).
32.1 * 1.62 = 52.002, which is pretty close to the 48% marketshare that IE has - certainly within the error margins that you could expect if you took your browser census data from several websites, so it might not just be a number that someone pulled out of their ass.
And technically true, but unlikely.. the shielding in microwave ovens is very good, so you'd need some incredible scanning technology, or to be very close.

I love all of you Grammar Nazi's!
He said "some may be true" right after that. Good job quoting completely out of context.

FTFY ;)
Until you can see your perception. That's what you were going to say, wasn't it?
I suspect his disposition is what enabled him to make this discovery
Well, that and the mushrooms..
Never mind, turns out this has nothing to do with dark matter. That will teach me to RTFA before commenting.. actually, no it won't.
Yes, except it's not so dark as they had at first suspected.
*whoosh* :P she wasn't talking about the video at that point dude, she was employing some kind of "non sequitur humour"ous device.
I resent the judgement that my clickable spam was "offtopic"..

The older generation have a lot more experience when it comes to sucking. Lack of teeth also helps.
My car is a Commodore 64. It is also a George Foreman Grill.

Say no to unsolicited content altogether! Adblockers ftw.

I didn't say it has over 100% of marketshare
http://www.w3counter.com/globalstats.php
FF has 32% share, IE has 48% share
32.1 * 1.62 = 52.002, which is pretty close to the 48% marketshare that IE has - certainly within the error margins that you could expect if you took your browser census data from several websites, so it might not just be a number that someone pulled out of their ass.
That's better, yes :)
