However you view it, the damage is done.

...which are again on Sony for signing in the first place.

I mean it's their right to be a purely gaming console, but they should also accept blame for tanking their reputation with the open source community.

Right, but you're describing the implementation, which doesn't imply anything about its use. I prefer to name by the latter: the implemenation is just a detail on how the filter does its filtering.

Right, nobody is arguing that facebook doesn't have a right to do this. It's just alarming that eg the NyTimes portray it as facebook's responsibility.

EDIT: apparenty people do talk about free speech, but they seem unaware of their rights.

There's not much money in getting people to use it—it's rarely required and can be expensive to train for (as opposed to java, say).

Hmm so it doesn't work well with variable length data?

I have no idea why you think the name helps remove the need for a visualization. Besides I think "filter" is more apt than "table"—it doesn't store anything per se.

I feel comfortable in blaming Sony for this. At one point I would have paid for an open ps3, say without the gpu, but these are lost sales now.

Wait, ports are considered moving parts?
