Once upon a time, people were encouraged to grow gardens in their yards for food, to go out of their way to work not just for themselves, but the betterment of everyone around them. The economy getting trashed like it is might be the best thing for us. I'm not saying every single person coming out of college right now and for the last 3 years is a useless pile, but it's a trend that is going to continue - the next generation is going to see how lazy THIS one is and take THAT to a whole new level. I was and still am lazy to a degree, but it's as though they saw my lazy and took it to a whole new level. There are kids straight out of college (I'm only 10 years out myself!) that my wife administers at work, and their expectations of what they should have and be able to do while on business time is ridiculous. The last generation had mortgages and homes, this generation didn't know the work involved and presumed buying a home was and should be easy, greedy people accomodated, and here we are: trashed economy (I'm over-simplifying of course). I don't think this has anything to do with dot-com, and everything to do with a trend that's been going on for a LONG time now: each generation is lazier than the last. I worked for a dot-bomb, and I've even since started, run, and failed at my own business. Why are you blaming this on the dot-com bust exactly? I can and should be as jaded as anyone else. Now we have clusters of lazy, jaded nerds who resist change and new technology because they had a hard time leaning what little they know in the first place. Not sure if it applies to parent poster here or not (either way, shame on you, parent) but this is a result of all the people who went to school for computer science because it was the "hot new thing" and you could "get rich and retire when you're 30!".
NOBY NOBY BOY EMULATOR PS3
Now we've got all these lazy pseudo-geeks running around like "Oh, Linux on the PS3 is stupid, why not just use a PC?" and "Oh, pattern-recognition technology in video cameras is stupid, why not just use a bar-code scanner?" etc.
NOBY NOBY BOY EMULATOR PATCH
Hell, maybe you'll even find a way to unlock the graphics hardware instead of waiting for someone else to do it so you can just download the patch and be all l33t. It's INTERESTING, and you can learn about a new system by doing it. Why? Because you fucking CAN! There doesn't need to be a point. This is the fucking problem with geeks today, and why the dot-com boom ruined the tech scene.

But why? why put yourself through the trouble of making it run, when you could run Linux on a computer way easier and keep playing games on the PS3?
