    There is not much sense in loading a page up with shittons of CSS and AJAX if all it has is a bunch of hyperlinks to other sites.

    Knock it off with the fucking monospaced fonts already. If people wanted to read shit like that, they'd set the default font in their browser to be monospaced. As it is, you are just trolling for attention.

    Shareholders sue all the time. Do some research before you make blanket statements like that without any backing facts besides your own preconcieved opinions.

    Regardless, seeing pictures of what that spider can do is the reason I am now arachnaphobic.

    Your firmware updates for your PS3 did not enable hardware that existed already but that you could not use.

    As a techy, I consider that a feature ;P

    Seriously though, why would I want an interface that was dumbed down to the lowest common denominator?

    All of these comsumer devices come with all kinds of crap CDs with "required" software anyways. Just stick whatever you'd need to use to use the thing on one of those. No big deal, people are used to that sort of crap.

    My first year of college my roommate and I made a sport of picking the kids that were homeschooled out of groups of people. The defining characteristic? Social awkardness.

    Now granted, we may have had plenty of false negatives but we *rarely* had false positives.

    That's not the point at all. The point is that porn failed to make HD-DVD sucessful.

  20. Re:to Blu-ray on A History of Storage, From Punch Cards To Blu-ray · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Sure it may techincally be better, but I really couldn't care less. First off, I don't care that much to make the purcase of a better TV and a bluray player worth it. Secondly, even if I did have the hardware, I still wouldn't care enought to wear my glasses while watching the movie. My eyesight isn't perfect, but it's good enough for everyday use, wearing glasses offers little benifit for most activities, including watching movies. Honestly I don't see what's the big deal with being able to make out every single pore on the actor's face. Being blasted with tiny little details doesn't make a movie any better for me.

    Now, being able to store a terabyte of data on optical media? That is something to be excited about.
