The ship was equipped with a network of 27 dual 200 MHz Pentium Pro based machines running Windows NT 4.0 communicating over fiber-optic cable with a Pentium Pro based server. This network was responsible for running the integrated control center on the bridge, monitoring condition assessment, damage control, machinery control and fuel control, monitoring the engines and navigating the ship. This system was estimated to save $2.8 million per year by reducing the ship's complement by 10%.
In 21 September 1997 while on maneuvers off the coast of Cape Charles, Virginia, a crew member entered a zero into a database field causing a divide by zero error in the ship's Remote Data Base Manager which brought down all the machines on the network, causing the ship's propulsion system to fail.
I think it would be a great thing for linux but enough with those Windows only game. The only reason I still run XP / Vista is that i'm a gamer. I found replcament for pretty much everything on the linux side for what I do at work but I have to install XP / Vista because Steam is just to handy now and my collection of PC game is getting too big to even think about sitting in front of my computer and start configuring Wine for each of them.
Wine is a nice concept but just to freaking painfull to configure imho. We need studios to start releasing Linux game at the same time the windows one are... ho wait.... perhaps I should give a try to Wine 1.0.
1- Find a crazy friend with an HD-DVD reader.
2.1 - Rip the file, get a Blu-Ray burner, burn the file.
2.2 - Convert the file to a divx and play it on your ps3
3- Use the HD-DVD like a fancy coaster.
No need for Electrical tape. Most of those tv have a serial port in the back where you can send commands to the LCD and, in most case, you can lock the input from a remote control. On some LG models, there is a plug in the back for an IR extender and if you plug a 3mm connector in that, it locks the front IR receiver... Hell, most LG tvs have a SET ID that you can set, hook them up over serial cable and brodcast a command to all of them and they will only anwser if it's there set ID in it. You dont really need those IR anyway.
Not to mention the fact that for some of us, the ammount of data we can send/receive is not illimited. ( I have a 30 GB per MONTH limit on Bell Sympatico and I am on what they call the TOTAL INTERNET PACKAGE... )
I dont see why it would be more popular than the last iterations. Looks a little bit bigger than the Iphone, does almost the same thing BUT you cant use the thing to make a phone call unless you use the VoIP and will that be availble if you dont have a WiFi hotspot around ?!

Dont forget that you have to boot the correct kernel depending on what you plan to do. The choices being :

linux_2.6.26_DialingMode

This is some very interesting comment. Not so conspiracy theory but just wild enough to have actually happened. Very scary and very plausible indeed.
Very good and very fun game and frankly, cant beat the price.
If you think you would definitely slap that ass, your limb will actually do it. Woops.
The black hole was a million times brighter three centuries ago.
We are talking of a BLACK hole here, correct ?
