I watch Metacritic, and the PS3 is showing more highly-rated games than the Wii
On the other hand, I'm disappointed that the Wii has more green-rated games I want to play than the PS3 does.
The PS3 has 4 beat-em-up games, 3 racing games, 7 sports games. I have zero interest in sports or fighting, and I'm picky about racing games, so right now that leaves the PS3's selection of games very unappealing.
Which goes back to the PS3 being targeted at the hardcore gamer, and the Wii not.
So you're saying if my mom starts to call cars "crankshafts", I shouldn't correct her? Or is your analogy exactly backwards from the point you're trying to make?
And the pro-Microsoft side is assuming that you're using a version of Windows that runs Microsoft's development tools, and not (say) an old copy of Windows Me.
Assuming a sensible Linux is as reasonable an assumption as assuming a sensible Windows.
When I did some (about 1 hours worth) research into this, I came to the conclusion that the only 2 obvious choices were wxWidgets and GTK (perhaps SDL if we are talking games) [...] they port to all linux distros as well as Win/Mac.
Dude, your web site has a ton of broken links, because I have 2 levels of web cache on my browser. Did you ever think about that when coming up with the "clever" idea of moving all the pages around from time to time?
Oh, and I see no evidence of any OS X products on the pages I can get to...
Maybe the fault is with your mail server? I have tens of thousands of e-mails on my IMAP server, and going to any random message is less than a second.

I'll probably be crucified for saying so, but I didn't like Final Fantasy VII. I much preferred X. I found VII so irritating that I stopped playing it part way through.

It's funny that you say that. I've been legally driving for 18 years (and a few before that, shhh). I've managed to be in 4 car accidents. I take speed limits to be a guideline of how fast I should be driving. Knowing the max speed is 65mph on a highway, but having effectively unlimited visibility ahead of me and empty roads, I tend to go faster. Lets say more than 50% of my driving has been over the speed limit.
The 4 accidents I've been in have all been low-speed accidents (under 40mph). 3 of which were driver or vehicle failure ahead of me.
1) Bumper tag between 4 cars ahead of me. Unable to stop for the suddenly stopped vehicle ahead of me.
[...]
3) Truck, no brake lights, locked up tires rear-ended stopped vehicle ahead of him. Unable to stop.
So in 2 of your 4 accidents, you were driving too fast, and were unable to stop when something bad happened in front of you. Hence, you rear-ended someone. Presumably the insurance company held you to be at fault. You might have been driving at low speed in absolute terms, but you were clearly driving too fast--or leaving inadequate stopping distance, if you want to look at it that way.
Only gzip, bzip2, and Stuffit run multi-platform, although other programs to uncompress most of the file types used are available on most platforms.
That's a bit misleading. For example, PKzip may not be multi-platform, but there are good native Zip compression and decompression programs available for every major platform.
Another reason AI isn't advancing is because modern games in addition to concentrating on graphics also concentrate heavily on multiplayer and online aspects. [...] most people will just breeze through the solo missions in a few short hours and then spend the next 6 months to a year playing online where AI doesn't even factor into it.
You seem to be conflating "online" with "PvP".
I believe that there's an enormous untapped market of people interested in social and cooperative gaming.
I've got 3 consoles with online capability, I've got broadband. I've hardly ever used the online features, because I have no interest in deathmatch lameness.

I don't have any way to clear my cache, 'cause it's on my ISP's server.
Why not just make the art gallery URLs change? That's the only bit anyone's going to want to bandwidth-leech. Or block based on Referer:
I used to use blosxom... but I actually wanted the extra features like comments and Flickr sidebar. If you don't, blosxom is what you want.

If you know where I can get the standalone Wii Play game, please let me know. They're $30 on eBay.
Try RealBASIC. It's VB for Linux (and Mac).

Or Qt, ditto.

Blu-ray has region locks. HD-DVD doesn't. If you watch foreign TV or movies, you should be rooting for HD-DVD to win.
You forgot Digital8 and Elcasette.
Blu-ray has region locks. HD-DVD doesn't. That alone is reason enough for me to want Blu-ray to die a flaming death.
Because for some people, playing with other people is more entertaining than playing against other people.
Consider D&D. Would it be more fun if it was a D&D deathmatch with 2 opposing teams of players?

I'd be interested to see a citation for that quote, as IBM's written policy is not to donate to political candidates.
You really need to watch the Brass Eye episode "Paedogeddon".

Just get any old prepaid phone with Bluetooth. Problem solved.
Last time I checked, IBM has a written corporate policy of not giving money to political candidates.
I happen to think that's a good thing.
