Sometimes the opposite gender characters at PS Home are not what they appear to be. Even though the masquerades are effective, there are a subtle but distinguishable differences between masculine and feminine cognition. It is not so hard to appear to be trans-gender but evidently not so easy to be trans-gender.
As to the topic, I use my PS3 to play movies, listen to music under XMB (via ushare on a VAIO laptop running linux), and under Linux, web browse and email. and tinker with the code. The way this started was that I was in a serious accident in Jan of 2009 (almost died) and until very recently have not been very mobile. In the interim, my insanely tweaked PC failed (I used Cedaga and Wine except for the few games that run natively under Linux). There was no way I could fix it, no one would touch it, and so I was not able to play games which really drove me nuts.
Even though I
was opposed to console gaming, I got a PS3 (no evil empire HW for me) which my wife connected up so that I was finally able to play again. I got so interested in ps3 games that I have yet to fix my PC. But I was also getting tired of not having Linux to use (no windows boxes in my house since kernel 1.12) so I tried installing Linux and was happy to see that on the PS3 it was completely familiar. I am now getting pretty nearly back to normal but at this point but am not so sure that I want to build another PC.
It never ceases to amaze me at how versatile Linux has become. In the beginning Linux was little more that an interesting toy but it is now an important industrial tool. Many chips (more than you could imagine) are principality developed under Linux. All of the major tool vendors ship Linux ports of the chip tools (Magma, Synopsis, Cadence etc.).
I have never owned a machine that runs Winows95 or anything later.
