Will it prevent the Bing bar from being installed ?

You know those bombs are the only ones ever used in war? US invaded Iraq under the false pretense of WMD (ironically, they're the only country that ever used those, Atomic, Napalm or others)

"Consoles bearing the same name have not all been the same for a long time. The last generation and current generation allow you to choose between a few different ones, though hard drive space is usually the primary difference between the same versions. Yet some have differences in physical size, shape, colours, etc."

A PS2 built in 2001 (mine) runs at the same CPU speed than a slim built in 2009. A XB360 Arcade has the same CPU as the first one. The latest PS3 has the same CPU as the first one.

"Then there is the incremental hardware versions over time. Just looking at the PS3 as an example, the first version supported backwards compatibility with PS2 games at the hardware level. One of the next versions only supported PS2 games with software emulation. Eventually, PS2 backwards compatibility was dropped completely from the later versions."

Same RAM, same GPU. Giving the *exact* same performance between versions meaning a game that came out in 2014 (FIFA 2014) *WILL* run on a 2001 PS2.

No the PS3 can't run PS2 anymore, but it can run any PS3 game (which it was designed to do)

Yes, hardly identical indeed

Try running even a 2008 game on a 2001 PC. That's where the Steambox will fail if they don't all have the same performance.

Please. As cool as the project is, it's not even in beta yet

"ReactOS 0.3.16 is still in alpha stage, meaning it is not feature-complete and is recommended only for evaluation and testing purposes."

My thoughts exactly. Something like this happened in Montreal, and Pornhub simply removed all traces of the video and gave info about the poster. (I know the videos are still available somewhere, probably). But actually making the website responsible? very very bad idea.

The problem is that law wouldn't solve anything as I can operate the website in a country that doesn't give a fuck, and that law would make life a living hell for honnest site operators...

There's a difference between private viewing and spreading the pictures everywhere

"not ones that are properly installed by competent engineers."

Depends how management (bean counters, PHBs and MBAs) listens to said engineer. You'd be surprised what stupid (and not even cost-cutting in the long term) decisions companies will make to save a dime tomorrow. The biggest Telco in Canada used (not so long ago) to deploy its wireless routers with only WEP and *NO* admin password on the device, even if WEP was broken about 10 years ago.

It's not like they don't have any competent tech people, but having worked there, yes, that's the kind of stupid decisions management will take.

"but then we would need to get the minimum wage morons who deploy these things to understand how to install and use them. We have enough problems already. And no, we can't employ better people, our customers are the ones doing the deployment."

So, the minimum wage morons *are* your customers?

The Steambox will fail. A console is a console *because* they are all alike. For Steam to succed, all those console must be identical

And costing 10 times as much. a 50cents lightbulb can be dimmed with a 5$ dimmer

An extra 150lbs won't make a difference. Besides, they always have extra fuel just in case the plane has to fly some extra time in case of traffic

"(and when they fail, they tend to do so without warning and completely, so be sure to always have backups)."

That much can be said about Seagate drives

People have been doing this for years, and what's with the video? this isn't youtube...

Unless you're buying ABS by the *container ship*, you'll never match the price LEGO gets

"The translator in that show has never had a problem with translating such before."

I'm pretty sure when they encounter teenagers, it will...
