I'm a PC gamer. I already have a $1500+ overpowered high-res machine for games, why the hell would I want to spend TWICE that on a TV and console that doesn't give me half as much choice? Screw you asshole, I'm buying a Wii.
So since you're implying the mouse isn't the optimal FPS controller, what is? Because I can say with damn near certainty and 8 years of experience that an analogue stick isn't.
You can tell Linux's cpufreq driver to lower the CPU speed when only reniced processes are using it. I used to do this so I could have Folding@home running all night on a 667MHz P4, but they broke the P4 driver in kernel 2.6.16.
Fasterfox makes pages load faster in a way that's forced me to block all fasterfox users from my server. Requesting the same image thirty times on each page does not speed up your browser, despite what you might think.

So if someone were to make an emacs plugin for firefox, would that cause the universe to implode?
Would you like to point out the bugs you've filed for those usability issues, or would you like to STFU? :)
Okay, here's the source so start helping instead of looking like a whiny baby! :D
Seriously?
And it only took how many years of people begging for this one feature?
Vinyl sounds better because we are human beings. Maybe you're not, but that's besides the point.
Why would I want a games console?
Because it's more power/space-efficient?
Uh... the XBox360 uses 8 bit colour? What?
And it is.
I'm still happy with 480i.
So how is this any worse than the current state of the XBox360, where consoles may or may not have 720p?
Well for the keywords, there's already package.mask and the -* keyword, both meaning more unstable than ~x86.
I hear their windows ones aren't much better.
Until Steam works as well as Unreal Engine/Doom3 engine games do on Mac/Linux (i.e. natively), it's irrelevant for most slashdotters.

Any decent coder knows AJAX is _added_ functionality, not a replacement for what should be there.
Stop making strawman excuses.

Actually, this Zune POS makes it exactly that. It silently infects every file on the device with DRM.
ok then. You do that, and I'll make sure your company's content doesn't get played on any of my hardware - legit or not.
Google has more than one datacentre. It doesn't have infinite bandwidth to keep them all in sync at all times.
Ahh... I remember the fun I had beating Doom aimbotters. I don't think they ever figured out not to use the rocket launcher.
50% of the visible comments today are regurgitated fad material... jeez...
That's the only response I can think of. Sorry.
