"I really wanted to like the PSP, except I want something closer to a PS2/PS3 controller. I want dual analog controls that feel comfortable."
I got an aftermarket cradle for it that essentially adds lower grips just like a PS2 controller and works great, but I agree with you on the need for dual analog. Sony really dropped the ball there--with very few exceptions (the SOCOM games, for instance), FPS games are clunky and awkward to control because of the lack of a second analog stick.
Too bad the only senator to vote against it the first time got voted out. I wonder if anyone (either House or Senate) will even try to take a stand this time around. My guess is no, because they're all worthless pussies.
I've been looking at used PS3s (which shot up in price over the last week, no doubt thanks to the grip Sony just lost on the hardware). If I were to buy one, would I have to read and agree to some EULA every time I wanted to fire up a game? That just seems like a waste of time.
Given that users pay no money, where is the massive influx of money coming from? Developers who pay to put their applications on FB (doubtful), advertising pay-per-clicks, or wholesale selling of user info to direct marketing scumbags? I'm betting it's the last one.
If you updated the last delta without having to replace your kernel and rebuild the cache, etc., then you SHOULD be able to, but you'll probably get a more definitive answer on one of the dedicated OSX86 sites. I can tell you that VMware installs require nothing more than running the updater and rebooting, though.
The DRM was "patched" by pirates before some of these games even hit retail. I guess it's good that Ubi got around to doing for their paying customers what Skidrow did almost a year ago for everyone else, but I'm finding it hard to care.
I bought Conviction (on ebay, fuck Ubi) for the 360, but if I'd wanted to I could have downloaded the Skidrow multiplayer cracked PC version of that as well. Ubi's DRM didn't even last a single day.
There is software available to slow your CPU down, for playing abandonware. I'm not sure it would work very well for specialized industrial applications, but it might be worth a shot for others in your situation.

"suggested that this might be an operation run by Wikileaks."
Or far more likely, a Karl Rove type of maneuver, bugging yourself and blaming someone else.
I don't see why they would waste money on robots when Kryten has several perfectly good spare heads available.

Remember when the jailbreakers fixed iOS's PDF exploit before Apple did? Good times.
"the late John F. Kennedy, Jr., who was on hand at the opening of the archive."
Creepy.
"It must be hard to argue against a PATRIOT act: most people don't want to appear 'unpatriotic'."
It would be double-plus ungood to vote against an extension.

Every single time? That would be tedious.

"secure customer database has been breached"
(for extremely small values of "secure.")
"I completely agree"
Then what's the fucking problem? Is it that you can't read, or that you like to ramble?
You'd better have your sarcasm detector fixed.
"Canada is not exactly a bastion of Free Market Capitalism, so BLAMING Free Market Capitalism for these problems in CANADA of all places?"
You seem to agree with exactly what the grandparent was ranting about:
"This problem would not exist if a real competitive market was in place."

Damn, it feels good to be a banksta!

"appear to have rubberstamped it without even some elementary link following."
Welcome to Slashdot. Enjoy your stay.
Why the hell is Slashdot linking to some cnet blog instead of the actual article? Is it because "anonymous reader" is a cnet shill?

"Oh sorry boss you had to find out that I think you're an idiot, can I still keep my job, please please please?"
Actually, this is a good reminder that you should treat every single thing you send over any network as public speech.
"Excuse me, but have worked at a small ISP?"
The answer to that question is in the text of the post you responded to. I'm not sure why you didn't bother reading it.
Just think about how awesome it would sound if they tuned it.
I'd imagine it as making a bunch of weaboos weep softly.

As final solutions go, that IS complex...but it looks like you achieved your goals.
