Internet connection: $50/month
Three PS3s: $1800
Selling three launch-day PS3s on eBay for 3 times the price, and then using the money to buy a Wii: Priceless
When I first read that title I thought I saw "Bunnies do not value PIRACY." Which would fit in with the majority of entertainment creator's views on the subject.
I got a good FPS multiplayer mode idea: Cheater vs. Everyone else. A single player gets to use aimbot, wallhack, and speedhack. Everyone else is on a different team; and has to play normally. Goal is to kill the cheater.
"Yahoo is now listed as Adware by me and other admins because of the policy's to install webplugs when updating the PDF file read from adobe and other things, sad on you yahoo, goodbye all your things are now >null you passed the point from being services to beings a adware addon"

That's a pretty shallow definition of 'adware'/'spyware' as simply being a program that comes with another program. In that case, WMP10, Internet Explorer, and Solitare are spyware now.
Well I boycott movie theatres, ever since the MPAA started bitching about the 'evils of piracy' that don't exist - if pirates were a threat to any industry that industry would be dead a long time ago.
Flash support would be nice except for the fact that it's a CPU+MEMORY HOG! Why do you think FlashBlock is so popular? Simple, it's because having multiple Flash widgets open at once will really slow down your computer. The PSP can barely handle Flash and it has 222mHz (Sony throttles the CPU to 2/3rd power to save batteries) of CPU to it's credit, as well as much memory.

As for your favorite website overusing Flash, it's their problem. Flash is _not_ a W3C standard, and has not been engineered for accessibility - nor does it degrade well, as you either see Flash or you dont.

For PDFs, ... well it's the same as Flash when licensing is concerned. To use the Adobe Flash Player in your product costs $$$. It's proprietary software. Adobe's PDF reader also costs $$$ and probably would need to be tuned for portables.

Those whom study usability in the WWW emphasize against Flash and PDF usage in web design primarility because of several things:

Mobile viewers struggle or cannot view such content
Neither can blind people (no accessibility)
It is a resource hog

As for video, again you would have to license video players, or open-source the whole thing. This seems more realistic, however... but video seems more resource-hogging than we need it. Audio would work well on DS though.
HOLY CRAP THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE PERFECT FCOM/NES DESIGN... except for the fact that in Japan the Military Flag and Swatstika are reversed: The swatstika does not have negative connotations, but the military flag is considered highly insensitive. Still it looks way cooler than NES Grey
Personally I want nukes on China. Now. Not because of the giant factories, or lack of labor laws, or human rights violations, or massive CO2 pollution, because we've all had incidents like that in the US during the Industrial Revolution.

I want nukes on China so it starts World War III. That's all I want, another world war and hopefully the end of humanity.

And if you couldn't tell that was sarcasm.
I've played it, and I have to say it's pretty fun. If you liked Animal Crossing you'll like this, even if you're only playing it to unlock all the minigames.
That 'activeX thing' is just Shockwave Player. It's perfectly OK to install (and I wish they'd make a *censored* Linux version of SWP already!!!)
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just switched to Sprint from Verizon about three months ago for the Pre. Then I went for the Hero about a week ago. Now, I miss my hardware keyboard and am thinking about switching to the Moment. I am still able to switch back to Verizon if I want and get the Droid when it arrives. Should I just trade up to the Moment when it comes out, see if I like it, and if not switch to the Droid? Or something else entirely? Help!"
