I so strongly disagree with this it's not even funny.
While I will grant that OoT was a great game, A Link to the Past is the exact reason why Zelda should NOT have gone 3D. I enjoy OoT, Windwaker, TP, etc. (hated Majora's Mask, but that's a different discussion), but nothing can top the SNES Zelda.
As for why, it's all in the controls. I hate having to line up perfectly and get the just the right angle on the camera to jump from Small Platform A to Small Platform B. I wouldn't mind so much if I had free control of the camera, but using Z to center it isn't always the best option. Some things do work better in 3D, I'll grant that. But overall, I'd take the almost-top-down-perspective of A Link to the Past. It had perfect controls, pretty graphics, and a great storyline. Can't top it.
I'm sorry, but your questions 2-4 are entirely moot. The name of the character played by Cary Elwes in The Princess Bride is, in fact, not Wesley. It is a common misconception, but the name is Westley. Check the credits, or just check on the IMDB.
Nitpicky, but hey, it's a major point in most of your questions.:)
Considering this discussion is about INTERFACE, I believe he was talking about the steering wheel, which is in use in all the transportation devices you mentioned......

Um, actually no. Off and of are both prepositions. So it would be (off (of earth)...) with no object in the prepositional phrase started with off... Least that's what I learned. =)

Actually, this is why I play Soldier of Fortune. If you just run out shooting, you WILL die. You have to lean, sneak, snipe, etc. The damage is also far more realistic than any other FPS. You get shot by a shotgun without armor at somewhat close range, you're dead. Period.
As for puzzles, there's not a whole lot. It revolves more around strategy than "How does this door open?"

Scott was absolutely correct in his statement of one vote being useless. As a matter of fact, all of our votes are useless.
In this country, the way this system works, the only votes that matter are those of the electoral college. My history profs would smack me for not remembering details, but there is at least one instance in history where the electoral vote and the public vote differed. Which canidate do you think won?

In this interview Lars says how it would be entirely possible to ban Metallica songs, not users. Personally, I would like to know how he sees this as possible.
Let's think... If they're going to put a restriction on any mp3 that has "metall*" in it, people could just rename the mp3's to "me+allica" or something goofy like that. I realize it's an 31337 example, but it proves the point.
Also, one could not have mp3's of cover bands if they banned song names. Oh, and what about bands that have different songs but the same names? It's not like that doesn't happen.
If Lars thinks it's possible to do (according to what he's been told), let's have them code it and deal with all the problems that ensue.

This is not about Columbine, it just so happens that that was the epitome. This book was meant to show people that bad shit does happen to kids in school. I seriously doubt that the editors would allow posts like, "Go Dylan!" or "Too bad they didn't get more people..." to go into this book.
So I reiterate. It is not a book about Columbine, it's a book about what really occurs in school.

For those of you wanting a car MP3 player but don't want a big machine with an FM transmitter or the, albeit cool, EMPEG for $1500 or so, Aiwa is making a car cd player that will play MP3 cds. I don't know of a price or release date, just thoght some people might like to know.

How about posting the entire content of the book to a website so people can read it online for free. If you're not mking a profit, then why not? It can't hurt profits if there aren't supposed to be any. And that might help get to a wider audience.
First off, that's not his call to make. As he says, this is basically Andover's baby.
As for lack of profits, it's not that there is not supposed to be any profits. There IS profits to be made, they're just giving them up to a good cause.

The bottom line is that this guy bought an Internet appliance with the intention of using it in ways the manufacturer didn't intend."
Actually, he didn't. If you were to read it more carefully, he bought it as a present for his brother. If he was not going to be using it AT ALL, why should he be charged, especially when it was not disclosed at the time of purchase?
Please end this. It is utterly rediculus. You are yelling about hate, yet you use liberals as scapegoats. There is a difference between believing something and forcing it on others. As for the Ten Commandments, they're all well and good, but I really don't think they have anything to do with you blaming Japan's computer problems on their "incorrect" religious views. By the way, I also know of a few Christians whom you have offended by your posts, so please do not speak for Christians as a whole.
That is utterly rediculus. I'm sorry, but haven't you read the other posts? Plenty of people in Christian countries (i.e. the UK, the US, Germany, etc.) are having problems as well. Posting things like this are demeaning to MANY people who are not Christian, as I'm sure many readers are not.

There's a Burnout for the DS, so you might be in luck.

What I couldn't deal with was the blatant alteration and misuse of just about everything in that was in the book. =)

(The only thing that pisses me off is that I didn't think to do a review of it, even though I know it almost by heart. =) )

After this, the rest of the band is going to go balistic, screaming out about how Lars is going to get all the profits...
The ensuing battles might be enough to tear Metallica apart... (not that it matters anymore......)
