When did you stop trusting sponsored 'research'?
As soon as I heard about the Appeal to Unqualified Authority fallacy.

Re:Nasty
To be fair, Fallout is itself a remake of Wasteland, itself an excellent game.

Re:They forgot to mention DescartesDescartes goes on to prove the existence of God:
1) I think, therefore I am.
2) I cannot be mistaken about the ideas that I have.
3) There can never be more objective reality in the effect (i.e., the idea) than there is formal reality in the cause (i.e., object of the idea).
4) I have an idea of perfection or infinite substance.
5) My idea of perfection is the most objectively real idea that I have.
6) The only possible formal cause of that idea is infinite substance.
Therefore, God must exist. He then uses God's existence to show that reality does exist as we perceive it, since God wouldn't mislead us.

Wasteland
I remember playing Wasteland on the ol' C64. It was one of the few games that I got hooked on and actually finished. It was very similar to the Bard's Tale genre of games, being a text adventure with a few graphics thrown in. I'm feeling nostalgic about it right now and wish I still had a copy.
This is the first time I've ever heard about Meantime. I did a quick Google search on it and found this tidbit of info about the game:
Meantime: The Unfinished Official Sequel to Wasteland
It's too bad that the sequel fell through, it would've been interesting for sure. Fallout is a great (if unofficial) sequel. One of the first things I remember thinking about after hearing about it was 'Cool, it's just like Wasteland!' Little did I realize then how much of a connection the two games actually have. -
Whilst I don't like netscape myself....
On my windows box, I Use mozilla as my primary browser (tabs, what is new about this?).
The bad history of IE security is the only problem I have with IE, and this is the reason why I won't use it.
As much as I personally don't like using netscape, I would really like to see them succed with a little help from AOL. My motivation isn't to prevent IE winning the browser wars, but more to make web developers accept that IE isn't the only web browser. I get very annoyed by random web pages that require internet explorer.
For what it is worth, I would like MS to win the browser wars, providing web pages like these become a thing of the past, this way all the script kiddies will continue to target IE users, making my browsing more secure with my prefered web browser. -
