Ok, I need to split hairs here.
Violence in places like the Balkans and Rwanda is not racial. The Serbs and friends are the same race: they have the same skin tone, speak the same language and wear the same clothes. Tutsi's and Hutu's are less similar, but still show fewer differences than, say, the Polish and English.
When you see people in the third world shooting their neighbors, it's mainly just because they enjoy it and not because there are any real differences.
Sometimes there are religious differences too, but since the religions in question all frown on slaughtering your neighbors, chances are that the participants aren't all that religious.

So why would I want wireless net access?
Wouldn't want it for my house - I don't see why a land line isn't appropriate for a box that's too big to move.
Wouldn't want wireless access on a hand held device - they don't have the cpu, screen or memory to be useful. That should change, but when market penetration is sufficient to support broadband wireless is anyone's guess.
Don't need it for my laptop - I can usually connect to a land line when I need to sync with the office and don't need to transfer anything too big.
It looks like the only market for wireless net access is mobile users who need more bandwidth than can be provided by a 56k modem and/or can't depend on being able to dial in.
The big question is why anyone would have invested in broadband wireless before a use was found.

Such a violent reaction to a simple and intuitive idea.... why? Cause it's a bad idea and you felt the need to call it "GROUNDBREAKING". What's intuitive about it?
The idea of wandering around a 3d environment is appealing, but it's hard to imagine why a 3d virtual library would be simpler or easier to navigate than the 2d graphical representation of a hierarchial filesystem. The nice thing about your traditional folder browser is that you're limited to parents, children and siblings. There's no way to represent richer relationships between objects, but in a 3d system, there's no good way to manage and navigate those relationships. A virtual library is less useful than a virtual file cabinet.
A 3d gui would just be too hard to use.

Having rebooted 8 times in order to install IIS4.0 Hmm... Most of us insert the option pack cd, click 'setup' and reboot when it's done.

Here's something "GROUNDBREAKING" that you can do all by yourself without waiting on 3dfx: get a goddamned clue.
Replacing 2d gui's with 3d is like replacing keyboards with speach recognition - it sounds cool in sci-fi but sucks in the real world.
The nice thing about 2d is that everything is easy to find. You've got a desktop with some folders on it. The folders contain other folders. Assuming that you have "some" organizational skill, it's hard to get lost. Now consider a 3d gui - "Shit, I know the report I need is in here somewhere. Let's see, I go north for 20 paces and turn left at my resume. Then I go west until I reach my porn collection, up until I reach my unfinished novel and... There is is!"
Last I checked, nobody was using the term "usability guru" to refer to Gibson.
--Shoeboy
Let's be honest here, when was the last time 3dfx had a leading edge product?
Was it the Voodoo5? Bzzt, no, sorry.
The Geforce2 GTS was released first and blew the 5500 out of the water in terms of frame rate. But that was OK, the Voodoo5 had FSAA and we'd pay for that. Then NVIDIA "leaked" drivers for the GF2 that had FSAA. No problem for 3dfx though, they'd produce a 4-chip Voodoo5 6000 and retake the frame rate crown. After showing the product at e3, they proceed to figure out that nobody will buy a card that's too damned big to fit in most cases.
How about the Voodoo3? That was pretty neat right? Unless you like 32 bit color, then you're screwed since 3dfx didn't think that competing with the features in the Rage128 and GF256 was worthwhile. The shareholders must have loved that.
How about the Banshee? What a deal! Inadequate 2d combined with the aging Voodoo2 chip but without SLI!! What were they thinking?
So yeah, 3dfx hasn't had a decent product since the Voodoo2. That's one fucked up company.
Exhibit A: Human beings are killing each other off at such a rate that extinction is approaching.
From where I'm looking, it seems that we're driving ourselves extinct! The #1 killer of humans is, well, humans. Other than natural diseases and what not, the only thing that regularly kills humans is humans.
Exhibit B: The world is overpopulated.
And this is exactly what's happening. There's simply too god damn many of us.
Can anyone spot the contradiction here?

Who the fuck are we to say that we know how we should evolve, when it's been working pretty damn good without our intervention for the past few eons. I would like to say the now cliche "We shouldn't play God," but i shouldn't say that since I don't think there is a God.. I'll instead just say "We shouldn't play Nature." Newsflash ace: We are part of nature. We're animals and what we instinctively do (make and use tools) is natural. Let's keep in mind that "Nature" isn't trying to better us or keep us alive. Nature doesn't give a shit about the evolution of humanity and natural process may drive us extinct. You say that nature has worked okay so far - true enough, but past performance is no guarantee of future results. Nature has driven plenty of species extinct (dinosaurs anyone) and given our own a few hard knocks (black death).
I'd rather be guiding my own destiny than having nothing guide it.

Humanity is different. Did I predict this one or did I predict it?
Sapience is one thing. Tool-using beyond a primitive stage is another. These are not minor or trivial differences. Yeah, and they're subjective differences. What about back in the day when humanity was primitive in it's tool use? No problem for your kind, you'll just refine your definition of primitive so that it always falls somewhere between us and the chimps and then argue that the sapiens sapiens subspecies dates from after we reached that level of tech. Your special pleading is nonsense.
The fact that we can *consider* eating our own young to be wrong shows that we have a sense of morality -- not the weird, abstract UberChristian kind, but the kind that keeps us from doing something, not because it would hurt us, but because it would be *wrong*. But given training, could we raise humans that belived it to be okay to eat weak and deformed offspring? If so, how does that make your "morallity" anything other than a dominant meme set? If you couldn't, and human being will naturally be averse to offspring eating, then how is it different from the parenting instincts of emporer penguins? Hint - the fact that we can rationalize our instincts doesn't make them more special or valuable.
--Shoeboy
Ok, this humanist crap needs to go. Human beings are animals. Humanity isn't an identity, it's a species.
It's no less moral for a human to eat a pheasant than it is for a hawk to do so. There's no moral difference between change due to evolution and change due to scientific treatments.
I congratulate you on your lack of sentimental religious idiocy, but I wonder how you justify believing in this sort of special pleading for humanity with your logical refusal to believe in god and the tooth fairy.
I know what you're going to say: "But Shoeboy, humanity is special and therefore special pleading is ok." Poppycock! Everything is special if you want to think about it that way. Dogs are special due to thousands of unique attributes that make them different from wolves and Volkswagen Beetles. The Matterhorn is special - there's no other chunk of rock quite like it.
Nature is no more concerned about eroding our precious humanity than it is about eroding the Matterhorn - why should we be any different.
You know what separates natural laws from moral laws? Natural laws are based on reality, moral laws are based on fantasy. Try an expiriment: break the second commandment - now try breaking the 2nd law of thermodynamics. See what I mean?
Good and bad are like up and down - outdated concepts born of ignorance. Just as you can't be sure what up and down mean on a spherical earth, you can never bew sure you're acting morally. The theiving clergy make a fortune of this dillemma.
Do what thou wilt is the whole of the law. The only way to be happy is to do what you feel like doing and be damned to morallity and consequences.
I have to take issue with your assault on capitalism...
Ok, first off, the daft socialist economics used in the old world have nothing to do with the superiority of GSM. The reason GSM is a superior standard is that it was developed with the benefit of hindsight. Since europe tends to be 5 years behind the US technologically, they had the opportunity to learn from our mistakes.
That's the problem with being on the bleeding edge, sometimes you head in the wrong direction.
At any rate, it's perfectly obvious to even the most casual observer that Europe would be nowhere without US innovation. Pharmecutical research is all american, Computer science is all american, semiconductor technology is all american, military tech is all american, you get the point.
Just because the leftist losers in europe managed to come up with a wireless standard that doesn't suck doesn't mean they have any real kind of innovation going on.
Innovation is as american as apple pie, good old Yankee ingenuity is what makes the world go round - everyone else is a free rider.

Here's the deal - console games used to have a 6 year lifespan. That's shrinking to 3 years. This basically halves return on investment for new console systems.
There are 4 major players in the console war now.
Sega, Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony - all are trying to get exclusive development deals so that hot games only come out on their platforms. There's not that many good titles, some platforms are going to get screwed and all will have to pay for exclusive development.
A lot of the major game houses are struggling - see fatbabies for the industry gossip. This means even fewer titles and thus less profit for the console makers.
Consoles don't turn a profit - as ESR likes to remind us, they sell below cost and make it up on game sales. The current shortage of parts will exacerbate this problem.
Console launches are expensive - it takes a lot of investment capital to launch a new platform. Microsoft is avoiding this by using off the shelf technologies, and it looks like nintendo is doing the same, but that leaves sony and sega in the cold.
PC's are top of the line technologically speaking - a 1.2ghz athlon with a gf2 ultra packs a lot of horsepower combined with a lot of excellent libraries and developer know-how. The PS2 is quite advanced but hard to code for. Since nintendo's PowerPC comes from IBM it probably doesn't have altivec and that leaves it depending on the (for a risc chip) weak FPU powerpc's are known for. The dreamcast uses PowerVR - a tech that was way to shitty for the PC platform - oops. The X-Box is sound here since it basically is just a PC with parts removed.
I don't see room for 4 companies in this market, and I don't see how Microsoft (with the best outlook) can sell a stripped down pc that is limited by TV set resolutions.
