I agree. I don't buy Sony ANYTHING, not even music put out on one of their labels.

That said, they have always made good inexpensive headphones, and a solid go-to. The key is to find alternatives.

1) Sennheiser HD 202
2) Koss PortaPro
3) Audio Technica M20 or M30
4) Superlux HD 681 looks very good too

* Castle Wolfenstein: 1981 (on the Apple ][. Atari and Commodore shortly thereafter)
* Beyond Castle Wolfenstein: 1984
* Hovertank 3D: 1991 First FPS
* Wolfenstein 3D: 1992
* Return to Castle Wolfenstein: 2001. A very, VERY different game!

Just what I was thinking. The original game ran faster on my '486. Hell, Doom II ran faster than this on my '486.

There were three major factors that lead to Heathkit's success, which are no longer true.

1) The cost of manufacturing an item was significantly higher than the cost of the parts.
2) Items were sufficiently simple (or at least discrete) that they could be made at home.
3) Electronics were expensive!

Consider that at one point you could order a kit for about 60% of the price of the finished item. This could save you the modern-day equivalent of hundreds of dollars, and you could assemble it in a week or so.

Nowadays, a chunk of electronics is worth about a hundred bucks or so. Turning it into a kit would be _more_ expensive, and would take three minutes to snap together, if it could be done at home at all.

I don't see how this is not free speech. They can still say whatever they want, and show off photoshopped skeleton women if they want.

They just have to be honest about what they are doing now.

Somewhere in the mad stampede to protect free speech, the USA has forgotten the value of facts, truth, and integrity, and they've done so at a cost far greater than the freedom of speech gives them.

Try not playing bad console ports, your life will be magically better.

...botched processor launches...

What, you really need more than that?

Only a Sith deals in absolutes!

They've just proven that alzheimers is easy to cure for mice.

If the GPL is stifling development (commercial or not), then it's stifling development, simple as that. If the license is an impediment, then it has failed to encourage development.

Um...
The post you're attacking was from the OP, DCTech, who provided the links in his original, informative, post. He then complained (with some justification) about an AC who attacked him for supporting a MS product.
Follow the trail.

...is raping its customers.

Is that what Yahoo is going to focus on now?

The smudge of an unlock pattern is pretty easy to spot, which is why I very quickly went back to using a pin on my Android.

If you don't believe me, start looking at other people's Androids and you'll pretty quickly find a way in.

People have been poking fun of dictators and monsters for centuries. If you think about it, there's just no good reason to even tolerate these people, but it happens. The Three Stooges poked merciless fun at Hitler.

Maybe it's a kind of healing mechanism, to make light of a truly horrible situation. Maybe it's important to belittle these people, so they will not be revered, but remembered instead as tyrants and jokes.

If the FS supports delimiters in filenames you will necessarily have to quote them. This is dumb.

An accurate statement is "even if the FS supports delimiters in filenames, it doesn't mean you should use them."
