If you were given an Xbone for xmas you will not be playing anything today. It will take at LEAST 6 hours to update the box, then any game you buy will have a 20-40gb "patch" that will need to download.

It's the biggest SUCK there is about the Xbox One.

Your emphasis on a *NIX-style environment variable is a highly exclusive move, and marks you an -ite with strong -ism tendencies.
You may schedule several minutes of shame for yourself in the next several months to cover over your micro-aggression.

This is like a moron that wants the special gold plated PS4 with free T-shirt over a standard PS4 and is willing to pay a $50 premium for some spraypaint and t-shirt.

$199 Nexus 7 blows the nokia tablet out of the water hard.

When people make "free choices" in such a society, they do so in appalling ignorance, with a maximum of empty stimulation. This is the post-Edward Bernays world.

The vulgarity of this decadent age. So? He rapes the corpse of JRR Tolkien and that's just fine if it earns a bauble and a penny?

That was a case of "resource constraint".

Exactly.

I AM one of those "small musicians and authors".

Ghost writers in the sky.

"Yeah, watching a movie about assassinating a living, non-anonymous foreign heads-of-state is patriotic."

If you have a list of movies where _dead_ heads-of-state are assassinated, please share it.
