There are those who say that the Roman empire collapsed partly because it went from a society of participators--athletes, intellectuals, etc.--to a society of spectators--the Coliseum, theatre, etc.
Could it be that video games are turning our society, the global empire, into another society of spectators?

Order Microsoft to redesign Windows so that Netscape, Mozilla, or whatever other browser can be used in Windows instead of Internet Explorer.
This would mean the window frames might be a bit different, or Microsoft would have to allow the web browser to configure its own toolbar settings, or whatever; but it also means that if I want to use Netscape, but like the idea of a web browser integrated into my shell, then I can have Netscape run instead of Internet Explorer.
I'm sure it can be done with some API and some heavy duty rewiring. It'll save us all a major headache from having Microsoft split up.

I wouldn't take any company memo seriously if the CEO couldn't spell "lose" correctly.
