Considering how low XBox sales were before the price drop (which is one of the biggest price drops I've ever seen, especially for a console which was only released a few months ago), 4:1 over the PS2 still doesn't translate to a large number of sold XBoxen.
As one of the few actors not suffering from self-delusion, you've been pretty successful in downplaying the hype surrounding the acting business (by describing it more as a business than an art: when it comes to movies, at least).
Personally, I think this has made you very well-suited to the business: but is there any other field you could see yourself succeeding in? Other than hitting the convention-circuit of course: you'd be mobbed by fanboys in seconds!;)

Hell, why not do it the easy way?
Write the code, get it up and running, and then reverse engineer it into UML via the Rational Rose tools. Satisfies the Architect-types, and makes you look as though you've stuck to the design outlined by those pretty UML pictures.

The CG is definately done in Sydney, in a production company that lives in Fox Studios. My roommate works for them, and they have a 30 - 40 person team dedicated soley to the Farscape CG effects.
However, the actual filming of Farscape is out in a studio near Homebush.
Carl Sagan wrote about an invention in his novel 'Contact', where a handy tinkerer came up with a chip that, when installed in TV, would instantly mute it whenever an ad came on.
An example of selective viewing that benefits us, but I wonder how the big companies would react to this? Possibly the same way as in the book.. lawsuits, counter-products, and general gnashing of teeth and wailing.;)

Unfortunatly, the price drop isn't going to be passed on to Australia.
Ozisoft, the Aussie distributer for Sega, has said that their supplies have dried up, and Sega won't be sending any more our way.
Hmm. Luckily enough, I already own one!
How can water molecules exist in space?
If they're too close to the source of the nebula, they'd be vaporised. Too far away, and they'd be ice.
Does anyone have a better explanation of this than the one-line quote in the article?
But.. 3.5 million digits.. that's just too cool! C'mon, admit it.
