This is a pretty funny April Fools joke. Partially because this kind of attitude/behavour is currently so prevalent. While it is disparaging to women, it is more of a satirical commentary on current society, an unfortunate aspect of society. Females are discouraged to go into any of the sciences. I have had relatives tell me "Why are you in engineering, isn't that a guy thing? That would be too hard for you." That was said to me *not* in jest. This April Fools joke is in done in good humor, so don't be hard on the editors. They have already beat the uber loner geek stereotype into the ground.
I know when i went to get the Monokoke DVD on the first day of release, it wasn't available. The store clerk (Tower records) said all shipments were diverted back to the US (I live in Canada) due to shortages there.
Supposedly FFX is one of the first games to use the PS2 hard drive (which is N/A). The graphics are cached on the drive to make the loading times go down and help with graphics. I'm not sure about this however, especially the last part.
