Don't you mean Little Green Packets of Death? Incompetent fools!

Haven't tested the other video outputs, but who the fuck wants to play on composite or component on an HD system?) and I haven't had a chance to find out if it can be fixed, and if so for what cost.

Component video is an HD output. It can do the same 1080p that your HDMI can. It's just that the media hardware cartel doesn't like it because "it's analog and easy to copy." There's no Macrovision on component. It's a pretty nice interface. actually.

Choose Android or iPhone-or you could have a Palm Pre with a full Linux-based OS. You can root it with the blessing of the developer, and you still have a monolithic app store for non-power users. Also, cloud-aware contacts management that whips the buttocks of any other address book. But you idiots got all wet for Apple or Google and forgot who the true innovator was!

I could even be masturbating in there, misusing the time,
Either you're masturbating or you're misusing the time. It can't be both!

Does anyone buy a new Mac and throw a fit when they can't get OS X 10.0 on it? No, that'd be idiotic.

The problem is, the current Mac OS X is far, far better than Mac OS X 10.0. And I would tell you that Vista is inferior, but I can't so much shake the mouse on my 2 year old laptop with 2GB of RAM without Vista going into swap spasms. It's a dog, even on new hardware.

Yes, as I said in the subject line, I tethered with your mom last night. It was a hard-wired connection, however. I avoided Palm Pre-mature ejaculation by thinking about CIDR notation. It works every time!

Slashdot: It just keeps getting shittier and shittier. Slashdot going all Web 2.0 just exposes what imcompetent programmers they all are, and how lucky CmdrTaco was to get some of that first-wave Internet Bubble money. Content's still great but they should have stopped "improving" the site design in about 2001.

As it tends to enlighten people to the necessity of better computer security... but when it involves things like airport control towers and hospital equipment and files it is totally not cool.

Yeah, it's "totally not cool." Just like drinking the last beer. Or wearing a Nehru jacket. Dude, they crashed a plane into the World Trade Center, I might just have to leave a note on the fridge next time.

Slashdot, a weapon of unbelievable pomposity and stupidity. You knuckleheads would be beating rocks together if it wasn't for me. For I am your God of the Laser!

All Linux needs is a dedicated hardware manufacturer that is creating complete solutions for users in hardware and software. For example, the entire OS X, iTunes, iPud, iTunes store solution.

Dell PC with: Ubuntu, Rhythmbox/Amarok/Songbird, almost any mp3 player, Amazon Music Store/Magnatune or whatever (I don't buy media online).

Happy?

That doesn't make sense. Plain text emails indicate expertise, while HTML in mail indicates an amateur. HTML in email is an abomination and an extreme violation of netiquette. It's not a good thing.

Don't be a luddite, scro!

Thank you. I will be buying one (two?) of these. It is kind of comforting to know that my nephew's little green toy has a brother somewhere in Cambodia.

the Coast Guard?

Since his little photo-op carrier stunt on MAY 1st, we've lost 45 American soldiers. THATS OVER 1 A DAY. So much for "Mission Accomplished". Considering we still haven't found the hyped "WMD'S", ask the families of these men if they think it was worth it:

WHERE ARE THE WMD's, BUSH?
