They are probably poking fun at that statement with the name. Not that that's a bad thing. If I had the choice between going to work for some corporate monstrosity, and sitting in my living room in my pajamas. My remsume would be on the BIG pile.

They explained it fairly clearly, the salsa was chocked full of electrolytic goodness.
As I remember it, it took a lot of tweaking, and even then it took a really long time. The final result was plausible, not confirmed, due to the fact that it would be improbable to hide all of your mad scientist gear for any length of time.
And it's easy to do since ATI makes the separate cards in a different line of products called the "TV Wonder" series. It's easier to pick and choose the features you want your tuner to have as well, for example, some are HDTV capable, others are not. Some have remotes, others do not.
IMO, it's smarter to get a Radeon, and a tv wonder, than to get the whole thing on one card.
I'm not defending anyone, least of all M$, that being said...
Cost of ownership is relative to how many *nix gurus you have on staff. And how much they are willing to work for. OS licensing is NOT the only factor.
where does the line between social conditioning and personal responsiblity lay?
I think the line is right about where people start committing crimes. Personal responsibility is not trumped by social conditioning. If it did, military personnel who come back from war to kill the dude that's been boinking his wife would never be prosecuted. Of course there are degrees of social conditioning, but I doubt even RF skinner would agree that and kind of Columbine syndrom would be due to violence in video games. Much less be grounds for any kind of legal defense.
Even if every operating system could run any application written on any developement platform, there would still be operating system preferences.
Performance, dependability, Security, Hardware requirements, and even things like boot time will still drive people to prefer certain operating systems over others.
What software an OS runs is generally second in consideration to me, as there are usually equivalent packages to perform the same tasks on other platforms.
If this is a joke, then discussing it in a serious manner is kind of pointless right? So, not to be overly critical or anything, but, what's the point?
I mean, I had my little guffaw, and slapped my knee, but what are we discussing here?
I'm with you, why anyone would want to watch tv shows or movies on that small of a screen escapes me. I prefer to capture them, store them, and watch them on a bigger screen when urge hits me.
Of course, this technology is still in baby land, and if it catches on, it will mature eventually. For now though, I'll stick with playback on larger screens.
I'm with you. No more sony for me. I thought they were over priced, and lacking the quality that used to justify their prices anyway. I even cancelled my SOE subscription.
Yes, hindus can masturbate, a buddhist on the other hand, would have to return as intestinal bacteria in the next life after killing a mega bajillion sperm cells.
That was my impression as well, this seemed like a non-story that was trying really hard to be a story, and almost got there, but didn't quite make it.
You cant buy stock in P2P networks.. I wonder if Limewire will see a surge in downloads of their pro product if prices skyrocket on music downloads.. I can see people opting to pay a one time fee.
Yes, he was a spammer but that's not what he was sentenced for.
Bummer, I'd like to see a spammer get some real serious time for spamming, a precedent might be a deterrent. Although, the sentences that have been handed out so far have not proven to be.
Nothing that Digg does will change the way/. operates, regardless of their level of success, mostly because they are a different type of geek news site. Although they got their original inspiration from here, they wen't a direction that I doubt anyone here really wants to go. If the stories here were a bit more community driven however, I do think we'd see a little less "that was on digg days ago" type of stuff. On a side note, people here probably dislike being moderated into oblivion for little or no reason given, and no meaningful recourse, that may drive some/.ers to digg IMHO.
Since my own comment got ranked out of view of most, (apparently because I'm a troll) I will post it here.
I think it's a safe bet that it's not a good idea(business-wise) to to bring a feature-light product to market while your competitors are driving technology forward. I think it's also a safe bet to assume that both Microsoft and Sony will have very playable and fun games that load quickly. Not all of their titles will be the of the uber high res, shockingly immersive variety. The only thing that Nintendo is doing is ensuring they cannot compete in that area. While their competitors can easily compete(and win) at their game.
The only thing that can save this company's console business is marketing. And good luck competing with Microsoft at that... They've been selling inferior operating systems for years on nothing but marketing.
They might as well be throwing in the towel.

Why not get the video card and a seperate tuner?

Maybe next they'll fix that horrible interface.
Of course the first few models of publicly available writers will write horribly slow. Can you imagine writing 300gb of video at 2x?

Make sure that the decimal point is in the right place when you funnel that $0.00001 from every intertrode transaction to an offshore account.
Otherwise you might end up in a federal "f!ck me in the ass" prison.
