Please, stupid people don't need protection. They need to be isolated and studied so it can be determined what nutrients they have that might be extracted for our personal use.
I'd have to agree that *most* of the time, digging up old games for sequels is a bad idea but there are just some games I can't get enough of.
I would definitely play a sequel to the original "Pirates Gold", especially if had some immersive 3D elements to it.
I have lived in Orlando, FL for about five years now and I deal with traffic jams on I-4 constantly. To me, it's just another reason to embrace intermodal transportation. Roads do not scale well. I remember a few years ago FDOT installed some useless speed limit signs along I-4 that changed the speed limit based on traffic congestion. Which would help the situation -- if anyone bothered to heed it. But of course drivers ignore it. Human behavior is the root cause. No one element of an intermodal transportation system is a panacea but Orlando plans to build a light-rail system by 2009 and I am all for it. But again, if no one uses the alternatives the problem won't go away.
This was Darren Aronofsky's classic first feature film and it depicted computers realistically. The main character operated a computer with a dumb terminal connected to a larger computer. Some of the computer hardware looked a bit "sci-fi" but feasible. (There were air vent tubes and other bric-a-brac leading to a suspended glass-box which one would imagine, held the CPU and some memory boards). The commands he typed might have seem far-fetched (they were only numbers, if I recall correctly) but still feasible.
Aronofsky simultaneously portrayed a similarly complex subject (Mathematics) in a realistic manner. He used a few well-known mathematical concepts that most movie-goers would understand after some simple introductions. (Fibonacci sequences, pi (duh), etc.). If a script writer is careful (and good enough) I believe there is really no need to dumb down technical subjects. Some well-placed explanations would do.

I neglected to mention that but yes, I have and I thought it could've been done better.

.. And I suppose Superman will be there to save the Space Plane when something goes wrong with it?

Kudos on googling plot holes for the movie.

Think of all of the successful spin-off games this affords. I can't wait for video game titles like "Sleep Over II" and "The Awakening".
