But they'd never attempt to make that their main market. The PS3 and 360 have been made dependent on catering to hardcore gamers, because casual gamers simply will not tolerate the combination of mechanical noise they emit, the 50% hardware failure rate of the 360, or the 200-300W they consume.
And then all you need is to send cargo ships to Jupiter and back to mine that much helium. All we need now is a launch method that would make that feasible...~
I went through that. By the end of mandatory education I'd stopped caring altogether, not turning up on half the days and failing most of the exams, just to make the condescending remarks stop.
As mentioned in the comments somewhere above, this ISP has no problem with spying on your traffic and injecting ads into it. It depends which you find more tolerable - online policemen or online telemarketers.
it takes more than the idea... It also takes the will to implement it
Exactly.
Opera is full of all these "amazing innovative ideas"... and yet it can't implement any of them properly.
The UI is competing with MS Office on number of the number of nested menus they can hide under a shiny menubar which fits in with no desktop. The HTML renderer has half-assed things all over the place and it screws up simple things like CSS3 opacity. The JS engine is the slowest out of every currently released browser (on real webpages, not some propaganda benchmark).
Who needs extensions when your browser has everything? 200 million people. Who needs everything when it all sucks ass equally?
The latest Opera has a bittorrent client, an email client, an IRC client, an instant messenger, a spell checker, web developer tools such as UserJS and Dragonfly, RSS reader, voice recognition, mouse gestures, history search, content blocking, and on and on and on...
It's a shame Opera can not do any of those things well.
There's usually three stages of development for webapps in my job: getting it to work with well-behaved browsers, adding the bare minimum of mandatory IE hacks, and then placing bets on how fucked up it'll be in Opera. Last time we got three minutes added to the load time of each page in it.

That assumes they weren't the largest botnet before now.
The PS3 and 360 can handle casual games.

Nah, he just made an attempt to look cool by quoting a 4chan line. And got it wrong.
Don't clicky the linky if you're not holding your winky?
UDF should work in theory (since it's the standard filesystem for DVDs), but Windows' brain damage as usual makes it useless as a general purpose FS.

It took a few years to recover from that damage.
Not to mention VGA is electrically compatible with SCART.

Are you proposing that you'll pay Blizzard's server bandwidth once their current bittorrent-based update client is rendered useless? If not, fuck off.
What's an "Internet libertarian" and how is that different to a libertarian in the flesh?
It's a libertarian with the Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory applied to it, obviously.
Could a slashdotter post some "simple to understand code" that produces output I cannot reverse engineer?
function f(int x) { return x/x; }
Find the original value of x, when given f(x) == 1. To get you started, x is not 3853, 178470 or -8956583566.
my wii is hooked up thru an rf modulator still
Ouch. I haven't used that since the 16-bit days. SCART beats the crap out of everything, and the picture quality's as good as HDMI anyway.
I'd rather have one 6 GHz core than two at 3 GHz.
Really? The Pentium 4 can be OCed to 6GHz with a bit of effort - knock yourself out.
Don't expect it to run anywhere near as fast as a 3GHz i7 though.
Iraq, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Egypt, and the like are not known for their harsh winters yet where did our civilization come from?
On the other hand, what they are known for these days is their complete collapse of civilization.
I get the same in Firefox, actually.
Why don't you take that free time you spent whining and do something useful, like fix it, then.

I couldn't help but notice how appropriate your sig is in context.
No, it doesn't support browser-integrated bloatons.
Good thing nobody uses it then - I'd hate to have to make pages work in a browser with less debugging aids than even IE6 offers.
Tell me about it.

Turn off D2 and all the Javascript bloat. Looks fine after that, plus it loads quicker too.

I've seen people complaining, but it works fine for me.
Maybe it's because I have all the web2.0 bloat turned off.
