I'll second that - Apache is as bad as Firefox when it comes to resource waste. On my machine, lighttpd uses about 1MB of RAM, not counting the PHP processes.
I'm surprised when something on Linux *does* require a restart to work. Usually relogin from a console or restarting a service does the job. Sometimes I can get away with updating the graphics driver in-place.
What that is is simply you cherry-picking three different complaints from three different places, and constructing a straw-man argument which assumes they come from the same person.
The best possible thing that can happen is to incite these companies into DRMing their turds up so much that it's impossible to do anything with them outside a tiny number of uses.
That, and cut off their main revenue stream by fighting back in court. Kill the MAFIAA outright, since they no longer deserve to exist.
The UK and Australia get shafted hardest of all. Not only do they get the same 0.5-3 year "translation delay" as other countries, they don't even get the courtesy of a proper translation 99% of the time. The only games I can remember having correct English were the ones made by Rare. In fact, I think their N64 games were the ones that finally ended the industry practice of doing shitty borders+slowdown conversions.
Some of them can have the firmware reflashed to support IPv6. There's a custom firmware for my netgear one on some site but I'm too paranoid to try it right now (don't want to brick my only means of access to the net).
The main reason nobody ever used it was that there's no A/B buttons on that side. In that posistion the only way to get to them is take your right thumb off the stick completely, or contort your index finger around to reach it. Both ways hurt after a while.
There's a similar one called com.com which sounds like it was designed to trap people using a TLD autofill shortcut in their browser. Redirects to another generic spam site.

Why don't they make it a subsystem in itself? Right now all this is is CoLinux + X11 integration.
This is the same BBC Panorama that sent one poor bastard out alone to do a report on Scientology. Maybe it's the same person, and they made him crack.
Am I the only one on slashdot with such a limited vocabulary?
There, fixed that for you.
Sadly, the answer is probably no.
Seriously.. can't we just leave the Big Answers to the Religions?
Because all religions that wield power abuse it.
No.

It'd be hilarious if someone decided to dump a few Zunes in there.

It's a Turing Test.
If you can open it without maiming yourself to within an inch of your life, you clearly aren't human.
I think using it that way worked in Goldeneye.

...so that fucking idiot can get laughed out of it.
Consoles have parental controls now, or at least the Wii does. It'd take approximately 1 day to patch the 360 to do the same if it doesn't already.

Anything over 800x600 sent over DVI with the Evil Bit set is fair game, IIRC.
Some printers do have web apps embedded in them.
Hilarity ensues when said printers have a public IP address and no password.
Or maybe the rich/poor separation was what made the difference.
...for running symantec software.
Indeed. It's unfair to compare China to the US like that... makes China look bad.
Likewise, how are we supposed to pick up their signals?
Maybe the whole thing's a waste of time.
Websites with braindamaged signup processes still do.
You mean like how Sony sold 500000 PS3s a few months back?
