I think it was said best in the words of the Aqua Teen Hunger Force:
Meatwad: Why don't you ask that TV if he'd mind showing me some Futurama? I like me some Futurama. Master Shake: Well, now we're too damn cheap to receive it, so go the hell over to Carl Central and watch it to your heart's content. Meatwad: Carl gets Futurama? Master Shake: He didn't even want it until we started watching it
I think anyone who's never used vi before would like to have a word with you. When I first started using FreeBSD I had a few OHGODWHATDIDIDO incidents when vi started as the default editor. I had to switch to another console and use lynx to find:q!.
Or, in more Slashdot terms:
is a lot easier to use
I don't think that word means what you think it means.
Third, to make firefox useful, you must bloat it up with addons.
I don't think you quite understand how this works, as evidenced by
Fifth, If I could load addons into chrome, I'd be a fanboy. (specifically adblock)
So you're bashing Firefox for needing addons to make it useful (when in reality you mean more useful), but then you want addons to make Chrome (more) useful? There is no difference. Add-ons in Chrome would be add-ons in Firefox.
Oh my god, you can access a device on the internet from any other device on the internet?! Stop the presses!
Seriously, though, it's not like the networks are 'different'. You can probably get the WWAN IP of your iPhone and connect to it just fine, normally.
Unfortunately that's not the issue at hand. You're referring to the video card using system RAM for it's own, but the issue they're talking about (which only occurs in the 32-bit world, not 64-bit, due to the MMU) is that to address the memory on the video card, it has to be put into the same 32-bit addressable block as the RAM, which cuts into being able to use it all, rather than using it physically. At least, that's how I understand it works.
I understand your protest to using msi, but I don't believe installing add-ons to Visual Studio requires registry entries, it just extracts the files in a directory in your Program Files folder (and probably installs assemblies to the GAC). Seriously, though? You WANT to stick crap in the path for a IDE? (And even if you're using msbuild and the command line, csc.exe takes parameters, not environment variables.)
At least Microsoft is using msi's, and not random installer programs like everyone else.

You forgot RMS.
I think they're intercepting outgoing from your home, not incoming, so your plan may actually still work (at least from the home end)
You're right, it's not a literal form of pollution like say, an oil spill, but it is 'polluting' the sky by lowering nighttime visibility.
I think the fact there's new episodes of Fullmetal Alchemist is more interesting than this news story.
Pshaw, you know your name should be System.Console.Write!
Developing for an open platform, rather than something still rather locked down and also the current tech fad? Ridiculous!
It's just your government 1984'ing your ISP. Don't worry about it.
But that'd just be one more thing IE6 wouldn't support, and you'd have to upgrade your browser for!
I do believe it was said that there is on-device Amazon MP3 store support, like on the G1, too.
Apparently you've never heard of AdBlock.
The disks are served directly from Akamai, so it's just you.
But you wouldn't copy a CAR, would you?
Er, car keys. Sorry.
Probably more like, "Oh, hey, you know computers! Figure something out for us."

If you can see vibration I think you're already a little ahead of the intent of the article!

I really don't think the libraries that Google was scanning at would have appreciated that too much..

Which goes to prove why everyone should be using parametrized SQL.
Not if everyone has to get out and push the train!
So how fast do they go? Warp 2?
And join the freeman movement.
It's time for an uprising against the Combine!
Er, now the relevance to the article is starting to get a little creepy.
