That last one looks interesting. My wifi/dsl boxes are using 30W and probably cost just as much. Can't do anything with them either since I don't want to brick them trying to install custom firmware or anything.
For reference, for the 99% of us out here who have no frickin' clue what something like XBMC might stand for, it would be nice to spell out the whole abbreviation at least once in summaries. Since it wasn't mentioned, XBMC is the Xbox Media Center, an open source media center project to play images and videos of various formats and from various sources, such as streaming from your PC or even the Internet, on your Xbox 360. It will let you use your Xbox 360 kind of like a beefed-up and free Apple TV
All it takes to avoid looking like an idiot is to use some common sense and hover over the first word of the summary.
Is that maybe why I see so much favicon.ico spam in my server's logs?
Sometimes I was seeing cases where over 2/3 of all the hits from certain Firefox users were all favicon.ico - which was a 404 error (it's a redirect to bugzilla #120352 now). It was never other browsers, always Firefox.
I don't see why people brag about OS X's fonts, when they reduce an LCD to looking like a 10-year-old fuzzy CRT. If you really like that sort of eyestrain, you can get an almost identical look on Linux by turning off hinting.

Great, someone port XULRunner to emacs and we have a winner.
If we replaced all silent vowels with punctuation characters, the C programmers would throw a fit.
Okay, let's assume someone builds a teleporter that works "right", in the way you describe it.
How would you test it to make sure it works?

Why did you blow all that money on Apple software and hardware when you could just install Konqueror for almost the same purpose?
Maybe I have this wrong, but does that mean it just operates like an RGB display in reverse?
Seems like a why-didn't-I-think-of-that moment.
Those are some pretty pathetic sales figures for both.
Why sacrifice stability when Reiser4 does the job just as well?
Yes, because the world doesn't have enough hyperinflated desktop apps dependent on running an entire goddamn http server _each_ already.
For libel/slander, whichever is the one being done here.
Random people off the street are _more_ accurate, because they're not getting bribed to spread propaganda in the first place.
Too late MS, Apple's already patenting it
I think he's implying everyone using ASP or Coldfusion is a shitty designer.
Based on my own empirical evidence I'd have to agree.

If you'd bothered to read the OP you'd notice the "end users" _are_ IT experts.

If they got varying results, then they obviously weren't following his instructions. People like those (you) are the dangerous ones.
I agree, this "article" is utterly retarded drivel written by a windows ricer.
Funnily enough I saw this just today.
Not odd at all. Windows is the only desktop OS in use today that needs a device like this.
They're right to blame it on piracy. It's as big an industry here in the UK as it is in China, and for much the same reasons.
ROFL.

If it uses MSIs, this might push Mozilla to start building MSIs of their software - something corporate users have been demanding since forever.
If freedom is a communist idea, what does that make the United States, in your opinion?
A fascist dictatorship?
