Depends on what the spec of your PC is. I am running a 9600GT graphics card. To upgrade it to something that will run todays titles at decent quality and speed, I would have to spend more than the cost of a new Xbox 360 Slim as I need not only the graphics card but a new PSU and a couple of GB of RAM wouldn't go amiss either. And then when I've upgraded it all, I have driver and patch hell on the PC version of pretty much most games. Even my beloved BF2 is once again unplayable as I upgraded the video drivers to fix a bug in one game which meant BF2 reverted back to "Start game, crash to desktop" again - a battle that I've had on and off for the last few years with that game. FUCK THAT SHIT. I want to play it, not be forever fixing it.

BWAHAHAHA. 99% of gamers neither know Linux exists or if they do, don't care. They aren't interested in being able to code their own games on an 8bit console nobody uses or play old 1990s games on an emulator.

No it didn't dumbass. All it tells you is the name of the malware that has been found in the app, not the name of the app or apps themselves.

Spoken like a true American. In the UK in the 1970's, 1980's and 1990's we suffered a bombing campaing in mainland Britain from the American funded IRA. They planted bombs outside restaurants, pubs, shopping centers and didn't give a shit who they killed. Recently there has been an upsurge in terrorism in Ireland from some of the factions who didn't sign up to the agreement. Not to report this as suspicious would be retarded extreme drooling idiocy.

I served in the British Army. When we started using warfare tactics such as full sized all out ambushes rather than just patrolling and playing at being targets, all of a sudden this supposed Irish army who had declared war against the UK decided that this wasn't fair when we went to war footing in some areas instead of policing and complained to the European Courts that we were being too heavy handed!! Err, who was it who said they were an army at war with the UK? The IRA attacked soft targets. Nuclear powerstations along with gas storage facilities are well guarded by armed guards.

And the best thing is that with most of Lulzsec being teenage kids, they won't have a fucking clue what to do - whether to fold or fight. I wonder how many of these fags think that mommy and daddy will be able to protect them.

Using encryption gets you nowhere in the UK. If you are suspected of using it, they can't break it and when they ask you for the key you refuse, you get an automatic 2 year jail sentence.

Easily proven. Oh look, here's an area of data on the hard drive that we can't decrypt using our forensic tools.

Don't you think its bad when your desktop shell needs FOUR TIMES MORE RAM than Windows XP minimum requirements? Is that not truly a definition of bloatware? I thought one argument the Linux mob use is that Linux distributions aren't as bloated as Windows. Sorry but if the above is the case, thats clearly now bullshit.

Portland is in Oregon isn't it?

Its not even true of Windows. I have clients with Windows XP installations that are over half a decade old. On my own PCs, the only time the OS installation disc gets used is when I've built a new PC although TBH, Vista and Windows 7 seem fairly happy to "just get on with it" when you move the install to a new machine.

How is fucking over tens of millions of people "justice"? If anything, it'll only get their backs up and give more support to companies like Sony going after those purporting to be speaking for the "common man".

It stopped being relevant ages ago when Gnome and KDE desktops needed more than the RAM available for OtherOS. I doubt you want to call running Linux on 256MB RAM with framebuffer graphics an enjoyable experience.

What productivity increase? When it comes to the most common use of computers, the office and normal home use (email, documents, web browsing, listening to music), performance ceased to be an issue over half a decade ago which is why Netbooks and Net tops got away with using a new CPU design slower than that of the old Pentium-M series. A faster CPU cannot make the internet come to your computer any faster or you type a document any quicker.
