We can't rely on the 100 year old photographs any more either, colour or b&w. In fact, we can't rely on photos well into the 1970s because of the same problem.
Companies like Corbis are spending millions trying to digitize old photos before they rot. The pictures are being kept in cold storage to slow the aging process.
Managed to find the link to an interesting article from the Washington Post on the problem from a couple of years ago: http://tinyurl.com/d8cvm It's long but a good read.
I still own at least a couple of games of his design from 20-25 years ago; Paranoia - great Logan's Run-ish RPG with wicked humour, and Vector 3 - cool 3d space combat board game are a couple that spring to mind.
There were a few other fun ones too; Bug-Eyed Monsters and The Creature That Ate Sheboygan, Titan Strike...
I think there were probably others I played as well - I think most of them were the pocket-game style published by Steve Jackson Games.
I guess my point is that he is someone who has come up with innovative and fun games in the past.
The workplace shell was fantastic. Voice built in at an object level - over 10 years ago! I remember driving my old 486 by voice...it was so easy to not use a mouse or keyboard. I only had 8 meg o' ram at the time - not enough for dictation, but the voice control worked great!
The first 3(?) releases of IE were complete pieces of garbage! There was no out-innovating, Netscape was trying to make money off of their software and M$ started giving their product away for free.
As an english major, you should be happy there is a resource that offers as many public domain works as they can, for FREE, in plain text format that can be used on any device.
Move along, nothing to see here.
This is old news to anyone in the printing industry who has been using high end colour laser printers. It's been happening for at least 10 years that I know of.

Damn! No mod points!
I dunno, I know several people who still use NeXTs and love them.
There's Stargate. There's Battle Star Galactica. There's... um... Oh, I guess that's it.
Doctor Who perhaps?Not to mention UFO and Kolchak: The Night Stalker!

He only came in #10 on the Ugo list but I think he should be higher up the Evil Genius ladder.
I suppose everyone has to make a living...
I haven't heard Greg's name in a long time.

With thanks to Dr Demento and Tom T-Bone Stankus. :)
Of course, if MS charged a reasonable amount for the retail version of Windows more people would willing to shell out for it.
OMG - an OGRE game would be great!
The only time I flash up a local game is to test stuff.
It is unfortunate that DICE/EA didn't spend more time on stuff like the server browswer - that really is unacceptable.
What's really amazing is that people have spent half a billion dollars buying low resolution crap audio!

And it ran Windows very nicely.

Maybe it's different in different parts of the country. I'm in Victoria.
The only other choice we have out here is DSL with Telus which I have not tried.

Canvas has been around for years and was the first to introduce vector/pixel editing.
Adobe owns pdf.
It reads like a Fan-Boy rant.
Corel's PhotoPaint is just as good as Photoshop in this regard. And then there are the specialty apps like Binuscan.
It prints everywhere across the page.
The thing I've never been able to figure out is how they would be able to read the codes with lots of colour laying down on the page.
Someone mentioned millimetre sized dots, but they're much smaller than that. You really need a magnifying glass to see them.
It's not just Xerox printers. Every colour laser printer prints these codes.
