They already have a good brand name they could have used for this!

It's Xbox, but it's --LIVE--, and it's pay-per-play like an Arcade. "Xbox Live Arcade"!

But the irony of course is that XBLA games you buy and own* and can play whenever you want...

*yes yes, we know.

Sorry, you can't see the data, it's compressed.

I guess it's a moot point if I can or cannot upgrade one if they're several hundred pounds and won't ship until three years from now if at all.

Lesson to learn: If your happiness depends on 100% participation from everyone you come into contact with, and 100% of people you -don't- come into contact with, you're going to be unhappy. Just go ahead and do what you're doing anyway.

Also p.s. Slashdot: There's no point putting red text up to say that my adblocker is making a mistake. I trust them a LOT LOT LOT more than I trust you.

That's almost as impressive as the time you got Youtube to come round to your house and film you for their website!

And when programs all have their own inconsistent Open dialogs in Linux I cry.

You utter utter creeps, Sony.

Why do cars have tall hoods, long hoods and off-centre driving positions? I dont think every car should be a go kart but I never understood why a centred view with more near visibility would not be desirable.

You know the pull requests dont get automatically merged, right

That's dead simple. Light the table with a strobe light at 20fps.

All keyboards are serial. In fact, almost every keyboard ever is a giant parallel to serial convertor.

I do love it when malware advert javascripts can upload random new firmware updates into my mouse and keyboard turning them into stealth keyloggers. This is great.

This feels like when Flash sandbox breaks became a thing, but worse. At least in those days we got smooth fullscreen vector animations and games to enjoy. I'd rather Flash had just been bloody fixed instead of browsers themselves becoming Shit Flash But Holy Cow It Runs Worse And Gets Worse.
