At this point, wouldn't a Broken Sword movie most assuredly end up as just a ripoff of The DaVinci Code?
Now, Beneath a Steel Sky, here we're talking - much like the game itself we would have not a ripoff but an extended homage to great moments in science fiction and sci-fi!
"Who would you like me to weld?"
"You can't go around using your welder on human beings!"
"Says who?"
"Asimov's Law of Robotics."
"Oh, Foster, that's just some stuff someone made up!"
"...a foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard core Commie works." - Jack T. Ripper
"It's the collection of individuals' information, usually without their knowledge, always without their consent, creation of profiles and the complete inability of people to make choices about that." - Center for Democracy and Technology
Also, black carrots are still common (e.g. pickled and with anise liquor) in Turkey and Lebanon. The pickling makes them a lighter purple - I thought they were just radishes at first since they were sliced.
Yes, why don't you tell the Fields medalist how to make himself look good? I'm sure he needs your help desperately. Jeebus, you know that a Fields medal is objectively harder to get than a damned Nobel prize, right?
He did critique the 'proof' objectively. The claim was that by looking at the function on a certain domain ("ideles" whatever those are), one could look out from there and see how it would have to behave elsewhere ("adeles"). However, the "ideles" aren't big enough to give a good viewpoint of what's going on (i.e. the function at the ideles is not necessarily representative of the rest of the function). If you only look at multiples of 2pi, you could "prove" that sin(x)==0. Just because you or I couldn't notice the obvious problem in the RH proof, doesn't mean that it doesn't merit quick dismissal. Sometimes obvious mistakes are made in math (some would say that only obvious mistakes are made - but they are only obvious once they are pointed out).
If the machine "loses" (assuming 100% utilization) less than $4/hour on average, they almost certainly come out ahead on amenities/drinks; family members and friends playing other games; people getting bored of the low-payoff slots and losing money on other games; etc. Slots are there partly to keep "non-gamblers" busy pulling a lever, while their acquaintances piss away larger sums.
Once the machine gives away around minimum wage or higher, you might start getting crazies and obsessives working it.

It goes the other way all the time - we just don't care about that. Almost all good deeds go unnoticed; only some evil deeds don't.

Awesome! Two-player coop Battlezone! Where do I get one?
You're in good (read: bad) company here. (go to the "quotes" section)
