You seem to have a bit of trouble with your statments. Basically they're crap and unfounded.
Well guess what... In India (Where Hindi is spoken!) The universal language of trade, in all provinces is you guessed it, ENGLISH.Look it up, but even the Hindi speakers of the world realize that the language of global business is alwaysthe language of the man with the $$$.
You seem to be suggesting that english is spoken in india because they all reckon that english is the language of choice because The U.S. is the most powerful nation in the world, with the strongest economy(Thus the man with the $$$).
Erm, bullshit?!
First, india is a nation of over 1billion.
You take any area containing 1 billion people and there will be several languages there to get all those people speaking they'll all need one language.
i.e, Hindi is the National language of India, but there are 24 other regional languages there, accounting for the primary languages of 70% of the population.
The reason English is spoken in india is because it was ruled from 1858 - 1947 by the British Crown. Hence all the official institutions were undertaken in ENGLISH. In order to get anything done, the people in india had to speak english to their British authorities
It's not because the population of india sat down and thought learning english would be a good way to earn some money from all those rich nations.
In addition, india's earning money fine at the moment; Modern India
Fastest developing Economy.
Seventh Largest Country in the World.
Largest Democratic Society in the World
Till recently adopted Mixed Economic policy.
One of the world's top 10 industrial powers.
Approximately 6% per annum economic growth.
Acquired break-through in all major fields.
New reforms speeding up the economic progress.
And as for that very cheeky reference to How many of those Mandrin people do you think are still living in huts, with no electricity or running water?
I take it you mean the chinese, because mandarin is just a language.
Well, china has the second largest GDP in the world, with only 10% below the poverty line., as opposed to india with 37% and america with 12.7% below the poverty line. And these are all the CIA's offical statistics, so allow for US ballet stuffing and figure adjustment.
Next time don't let your bigoted preconceptions get the better of your reasoning and opinion.
I submitted an article about gnutella and freenet, while there still was a freenet. This Sucks.

Myth and Oni are apparently safe in the hands of Take2, whether or not they're linux friendly is debateable. I would image they have no love for Mono-Macrosoft. I see an opportunity. Does anyone want to fly the flag of open source development to Take2??
Why does microsoft continue to buy companies, someone should explain the benifits of hiring and paying companies, rather than absorbing and destroying them.
Surely Microsoft already has it's own gaming department, why buy a dynamic succesfull inventive company just to integrate it with the bogged down, corporate coders of microsoft.
And another thing, if the programmers of Bungie have been bought out and given near garanteed job security, why the hell would they bother to make any more good games. The chance of the company failing or succeeding on the next project is what makes the smaller companies make such good games.
Want an example, what about the massive EA-sports, what the hell original games have they created recently??? Just the same old "New Improved Fifa", all they seem to do is update the player names for the latest tournament.
Ace had some detail on overclocking the Duron, but I want to know, is it going to significantly reduce my heating bills. I could get one for my granny to keep her warm during the winter. I could write it off on the tax too.
But seriously, is it not a case of too little too late?? $110-$130 is a good price but we've had the celeron for a long time, is there room for another low end chip in the arena, or should they be aiming higher with the performance. Perhaps as a cheap upgrade option for the celeron??

Just a note on that stability that your mentioning.
/|\
Indonesia has been very stable until recently.
It was also a dictatorship with severe human rights violations.
Cuba is still a stable dictatorship, despite efforts to destablise it.
The Peoples republic of China and the USSR were both stable for a long time.
Stability != freedom || higher quality of life

Talking out your ass mr Anon?
when most non-Americans have had to be rescued by armed Americans at some point in the past
I suppose it's difficult for you to contemplate the several millenia of history before the USA was created??
If it were not for us "gun nuts" you would be speaking German right now and it's time that you showed us some goddamned respect
I do speak german, so may I now show you disrespect?
