In "Mission to Mars" they used Dr Pepper. It has an added advantage in that you can drink it if there are no leaks. This would help keep the astronauts awake, so they are more aware of air leaks. Solves multiple problems.
Guild Wars isn't really an MMO, either. It's a graphical lobby leading to instanced worlds. The lobby portion is partially MMO, I suppose, but quite unlike Everquest/WOW/Etc. Dark Age of Camelot allows movement between servers, though (nice for older games, so that you are consolidating the player base a little more).
I'm not so sure I want one server for everyone, though: some games have certain RP elements that attract a certain crowd, so having RP servers is a nice way to make a community; same for PVP servers.
And what happens if the other competitor (say, Blu-Ray) owns a good chunk of the media (say, Sony's movie studio films)? Should Toshiba's format be punished because they are simply providing the transport mechanism and not the content? Isn't Toshiba's deal basically leveling the playing field?
You ask to depose a number of people, hoping that the inconvenience of the process will force the other side to back down. That's why Comedy Central has the Google founders on their deposition list. It's lawyering.
"Yes, but Lucas pretty much invented the phrase, "space opera" to describe the genre he was joining. It was deliberately supposed to be very much reminiscent of the old flash gordon serials and other mythologies."
"passed a bill outlawing illegal domestic wiretapping by the government"
Good thing they outlawed illegal wiretapping, since outlawing legal wiretapping would have made it illegal, thus making the above sentence redundant. Wait. I think I hurt my brain.
Though all of them can be consolidated under one name: Stargate: Hey, All the Planets We Visit Look Like British Columbia. Same for Battlestar Galactica, too.
Let's not forget that World of Warcraft also had its problems: the queue, the general issues in the beginning, etc. It's par for the course with games these days.
I'm a little more concerned about console games needing patches: wasn't the whole idea with console was that they were different from PCs? The same "push it early, then patch" mentality seems to be affecting consoles, too.
"Citing the recent sales numbers, Sony exec David Bishop is claiming that the next gen console war can officially be declared over. Looks like the Wii and 360 are the winners."
Tribes was so far ahead of its time, too. I enjoyed the fact that I could play a support role that was just as important as any other role (and that I could switch from one role to another easily). I tended to play the "repair everything guy." Unfortunately, Tribes 2 really made the "repair guy" unimportant. And Tribes: Vengeance was just stupid.
I also liked the three-dimensional aspect of the game: in most FPS at the time, you only had to worry about threats from around you. Tribes had the extra "holy crap, he's above me" moments that pretty much made circle-strafing worthless.
I hear that Jake Lloyd will be playing Indiana Jones Junior. And, in the climax, a bunch of Ewok Freedom Fighters will take on the Nazis and win using rocks and home-made gliders. The whole of Harrison Ford's dialog will be "Get off my lawn, damn kids" or "When I was a kid, I'd steal treasures using nothing but a pouch with some sand in it, while barefoot in the snow."
Well, understand that my knowledge of computers has come totally from watching TV and movies: my assumption is that while said fat sweaty bearded geek may look like he's raiding with his guild, it's likely that he's accidentally connected to a Department of Defense computer and is actually sending orders to a highly trained team of Navy Seals working undercover. The good news is that these types of things always seem to end well for all involved, with DKP for all.

The defer attribute of the script tag should help with those Javascript-delivered ads, I'd think.

Sounds like you are using a software patch for a hardware problem. Wouldn't a non-leaky mug be better?
I prefer using a fantastic group of four astronauts to block cosmic radiation. It seems to work well.
"Yes, but Lucas pretty much invented the phrase, "space opera" to describe the genre he was joining. It was deliberately supposed to be very much reminiscent of the old flash gordon serials and other mythologies."
I don't think he invented that term at all.

"use the new D-Bus bindings with Python to make Pidgin's status system send updates to Twitter"
Or you could cross-connect the Bullshittean Field Emitter to the Warp Core Ejector using quasi-bosonic tachyon particles.
Any anyhow, shouldn't the Python, having been attracted by the Twitter, eat the Pidgin?

Is there an ESPN 6 or 7 cable channel? I'm thinking this is below Cheerleading and Dog Agility, but perhaps above Lumberjack competitions.

Perhaps they shouldn't be gloating.

Hmm, time to reinstall Tribes...
Even worse, such attacks may jam the printers, making it impossible to print out important Dilbert cartoons.
"Planescape Torment 2: The Poop"
I would buy a game with that subtitle sight unseen.
