MS seems to be having some major problems getting driver support and application support for 64 bit Well, of course it's going to be different for Apple. If they had trouble getting driver support for all 30 different computers they supply, then they might as well throw in the towel now.
Not really what I'm talking about - I'm saying that despite having a few discrete choices of hardware to test for, Apple still manage to release software chock full of bugs.
Isn't this one of the great things about buying an Apple product??? Closed loop system means you are only testing about 25 to 30 different hardware combinations. Instead of 6 million.. And yet Apple still manage to fuck up on a regular basis.
Your plan isn't even feasible, much less reasonable. Yet you don't seem to be able to provide a reason why that shouldn't happen. You cite elements of the consitution that don't even cover what he's talking about.
You seem to be confused that net access is a right, which it's not. If you abuse it, and in the process of doing so cause millions of other people massive inconvenience, then the priviledge of using the internet should be taken away from you, much like drivers who drive drunkenly and cause others damage and inconvenience have their driver's licenses revoked.
One thing is certain. You are clearly unstable. As opposed to you, who thinks that people who disagree with him are mentally ill?
But can the DS play any PS1 game in full speed via hardware emulation? I would wager not:)
That opens up a myriad of very good games (Final Fantasy VII-IX, Vagrant Story, Metal Gear Solid, Chrono Trigger/Cross, Um Jammer Lammy, Spyro, Xenogears) which you can transfer to your PSP from discs you already own.
I've done some research and if people are really that paranoid about Trusted Computing, then they might be okay with VIA.
It seems though that the whole industry is jumping on it, from Open Source to Microsoft.

Is AMD Dead Yet?

So who would you buy instead? Considering that these are the founders of the Trusted Computing Group:
AMD Hewlett-Packard IBM Infineon Intel Corporation Lenovo Holdings Limited Microsoft Sun Microsystems, Inc That doesn't leave you an awful lot of choice, does it?
Virii is actually derived from 'vir', the Latin for 'men'. So when you say 'virii', you're not saying 'many viruses', you're saying 'many men'. Vira is only a possibility if you were deriving from 'virum', which we're clearly not.
The plural of 'virus' in Latin was most likely to be 'virus' because it's already a mass noun.
including the findings lately in the DOJ case and in the EU case are hardly "purely speculation" Care to elaborate on these 'findings'?
Yes, it doesnt affect ALL AV software... but it does affect their biggest competitors. Really? It affects their biggest competitors? Like... Grisoft? Symantec? McAfee? No. None of those.
Biggest companies on the list of those affected are Trend and ZoneLabs. Microsoft have notified those affected companies that a kernel update may cause issues with their software, and those companies have updated. Not only that, but all this has happened before the kernel update is released.
This is a non-story and that's obvious to all except the blindest of fanatics.
28 different AM2 motherboards. 21 different AM2 processors. 111 different PCI-E graphics cards. 17 sound cards.
So far, we have 1,109,556 different combinations of hardware you can build. That already exceeds my "10,000 combinations is less than 1% of the possible hardware and software configurations" comment.
Bear in mind that we haven't covered: SATA/IDE hard drives DVD writers PCI cards of all types USB devices Anything from Intel whatsoever.
Because you can test on ten thousand combinations of software and hardware and still hit less than 1% of the possible system configurations that exist?*
Most people run non free software that gives it's owners the ability to read everything on your hard drive and their newest OS indexes and reports the contents. Proof, please, as always.
Except that surely makes it close to impossible for a new author to get into the business.
Publishers rarely offer advances to unknown authors, and considering the investment of time required, these people rely on being paid after the book is bought. Once you take that away by distributing for free, suddenly you have budding authors who want to be published but won't be paid before or after the fact.
Giving away for free could work for established authors (that's another debate) but is close to useless for anyone trying to enter the business.
The OP was talking about free in the sense of being without cost, so it's actually you who has turned the conversation to a different definition of 'free'.
Slashdot Mirror
He's got two new ones in addition to Erris and twitter. This one and one other.
It would ruin the fun if I told you which one it is though - I bet he's enjoying posting more than twice a day though.
Apparently you didn't get it the first time, so let's try again: P2P is not the same as piracy.
You can pirate over P2P, but then you can beat someone to death with a shovel, yet still people think digging is a great idea.

Wouldn't waste your breath, GP is a known troll.
I remember him threatening to beat up anyone who bought an iPhone, then denied that he was morally wrong to do so.
Except it's 20Mbps, not 20MBps, and it's only 5 times faster than yours, and it only costs me £35 per month.
Seeing as you're using pounds, not dollars, you must be oblivious to the speeds available in your own country.

For $800 million dollars, I'd put up a pretty convincing performance.
It took me less than 3 seconds on my 20 Meg connection, so you need to chat to your broadband provider.
Not that you were missing much, mind - the website is pretty vague. Looks like directions/locations/directory services.

To be honest, and though they tried incredibly hard to make it irrelevant and shit, my PSP is a must have merely for all the homebrew I have on it.

Sorry, resident classicist corrected me: virii would be derived from 'virius', viri is derived from 'vir'.

The accepted English usage is 'viruses'.

You really make more of this Linux thing than you should.
