Fix Orange Box on the PS3 already. I don't care whose fault it is - YOUR company's logo is on the box and on the game. It reflects poorly on YOU. FIX IT.

Mac optical drives do not have external eject buttons. Macs do, however, have a handy eject button on the keyboard. Just press it, and out comes your optical disc.

For discs with writable media, you do need to tell the OS you are ejecting the disc - click the aformentioned eject icon next to the drive listing in the finder side-bar with your mouse, and away it goes, unless of course there is a file busy. This same action also unmounts servers, or individual sharepoints, or optical discs, or SD Cards. Pretty convenient and uniform. Or you can, if you want, drag the darn thing to the trash, the old fashioned way.

Since the switch away from ADB to USB, you could always plug an aftermarket USB mouse into a Mac, and with no additional software, have left-click, right-click, and scroll-wheel click events. I recall having 2 and 3 button ADB mice as well, so it's been in the OS since before OS X. The secondary mouse click has always been well-defined; see jo_ham's post below mine. You just don't know what you are talking about.

Sounds to me like someone doesn't know what they are talking about. 1) No Mac shipped since the switch to Intel processors has come with a one button mouse. That was 5 years ago. 2) Dragging a drive to the trash has never meant formatting. Never. Ever. On OS X, which has been in use for, oh, 10 years now, the trash can icon changes into the Eject icon when you hover a drive over it. Also, you can eject a drive simply by clicking on the eject icon next to it's name in the Finder's side-bar. Do you mean to suggest that clicking on an obscure icon in a taskbar, and selecting the drive by letter (not name) from a pop up menu is a more reasonable way to eject a drive? 3) Coping files to an external drive is simply a matter of selecting them, and dragging them to the drive. Just like on every other GUI OS in existence. Or, if you are using the most up to date version of OS X, Copying and Pasting works too, just like in Windows.

The negative comments on Slashdot are really getting depressing to read. From Cameron's biography at IMDB:
James Cameron was born in Kapuskasing, Ontario, Canada, on August 16, 1954. He moved to the USA in 1971. The son of an engineer, he majored in physics at California State University.
So yeah, I think he can do trigonometry. He might actually be smarter than you. Give the guy a break.

My Playstation 3 was a "Metal Gear Solid 4" edition. The box has no mention of "OtherOS" capability, anywhere.

I've been administrating Macs since the days of the Mac II, and I don't recall any such thing. As long as you formatted the drive with Apple's tools, copied the files over, and then used a program like Norton Disk Doctor to "bless" the system folder, you were fine.

basic rules - don't smell like ass, be funny, and don't be a spaz.

Return of the Jedi has not come out on BluRay yet.

They are parasites in this way: Rather than them spend the time and money to upgrade the infrastructure they use that relies on "features" or "quirks" of IE6, they choose not to expend those resources. This just causes everyone else to spend that time and money to support their broken browser. The time and money spent by others to keep their websites usable by this trainwreck of a browser would have been better spent elsewhere. They are making others waste resources for their benefit. Pretty much the definition of a parasite.

Where I work, we spend 4-5 days developing the primary website. We have to avoid doing anything "fancy" or "efficient" with our coding, keeping it as plain jane as we can. Then we have to spend another day or so "fixing" the perfectly reasonable code, css, and graphics to work with IE 6. That's a couple of days we are not spending on the next site.

I have seriously been considering some kind of redirection (at worst) or some other kind of gentle reminder to encourage IE6 users to upgrade. Remember that if you are not using IE6 you are likely a few years behind on patching your windows system overall.

I am personally of the opinion that coddling IE6 users in this fashion gives them no incentive to upgrade - there is no pressure at all. This is holding the internet back, frankly, and at some point I'm going to just start redirecting IE6 users to an appropriate page where they can upgrade to IE7, IE8, or better yet, a standards compliant browser like Firefox, Chrome, Safari, or Opera. Stuff that was written to require ActiveX controls was broken to start with.

Eat a cracker with your water. Problem solved. Do people really believe this nonsense?

Know what's in your stomach? Seriously, think about what you are saying for 5 seconds.

While I generally regard using Wikipedia as a laughable "proof" in any sort of internet discussion, I find it doubly so in this case. The article cited has so many weasel words (may, could, should, might) that it becomes entirely devoid of informational content. If you are eating a properly nutritious diet, you will have zero need for any kind of dietary supplements, period. Dependence on the "nutritional" benefits of the minute amounts of calcium, magnesium, etc. in tap water borders on the delusional. Having said that, one adult sized vitamin capsule is going to have more of those trace minerals than 8 glasses of drinking water. As for the benefits of fluoride in the water, too much of it can also cause teeth to become brittle and prone to breakage. All good things in moderation. Considering where pure H20 ends up when ingested (mixed in with the contents of your stomach) tell me exactly how long it actually remains "pure" in the human body?

100% pure water will do no harm to you, whatsoever. Or your gut bacteria. I'm not sure how this meme got started, but it is not only wrong, but indicative of a confusion of ideas that makes me doubt the rationality of anyone who espouses it.

I can name several: Christmas, Boxing Day, Winter Break for university students, and New Years. Hence, "it's the holidays."
