Well, yes and no. Looking at Nintendo's current Top Ten List, we see that 3 of the current (monthly? ) top ten are Player's Choice games: Super Smash Bros Melee, Luigi's Mansion, and Sonic Adventure 2 Battle. Considering that these are all games that came out in late 2001 or early 2002, Mario Sunshine and Zelda probably haven't been out long enough to sell that many titles.
Of course, the games that have been out the longest are the ones likely to have the lowest demand.

Tenon has a beta of Xtools available for download.
According to their press release it is a:
full implementation of the X Windows system running on Mac OS X. Based on X11R6.4, Xtools inherits the clean, fast, stable, and portable codebase from Xfree86. Integration with the Aqua environment is enabled by building the X server on top of Cocoa and QuickDraw, providing a rootless X windows display while still retaining the ability to use native applications.
Of course, it costs real money, but it seems to be a smoother solution than VNC.
Twenty years from now the core APIs may have grown and changed tremendously, but we'll still think of it as the `same' codebase and call it Linux:-).
For some reason, this statement disturbs me greatly. Sure, it's a nice idea to have the same relative base that's matured and been expanded, but I kinda like to think we'll have something more, well, exciting by then.
Of course, I'm still miffed that flying cars aren't in everyone's aero-garages yet.
Just like all the other labeling systems, it turns out that the only Internet labeling systems that anyone cares about are pejorative labels - rating pages for sex, or foul language, or heresy, or violence. Why? Because these are what the censors want to get rid of.
Have there been any earnest attempts at positive labels? Other than a few magazines that use this kind of system, ratings would be provided on how much of a good thing something has. Rather than the ESRBs Violence rating scale you'd rate on a degree of niceness or non-violence or somesuch nonsense.
Of course, this system could always be perverted (Look, it's got a 1 on the Niceness scale, it must involve random and senseless acts of violence towards children!) But at least the spirit of it has a more positive goal: promoting the "good" stuff.
As for Tallahassee, where I live, you'd hate to live there, but it's a generic town, undergoing a bit of urban sprawl, and it's not all that expensive. You can always get a doublewide, you know.
You're really being far too gracious to Tallahassee. It's the armpit of Florida, both socially and geographically.
I've been a big fan of Apple in the past, but their latest open source move gives me this "pixie dust" feeling....
I'm curious as to why you think that that Next/OpenStep/Rhapsody/MOSXS/Darwin is a dying project. It's certainly not spritely, but rather quite stable. It's more of a project that needs maintenance than any real push towards anything. I don't think apache has done anything truly stunning recently, yet it continues to be updated with little fixes; however, few would term apache a dying project.
Now, as an open source project, Darwin is far from dying. All the code hasn't even been released!
Of course, that's not to say that Apple's open source efforts resemble and/or could learn a lot from Netscape's successes and failures in that arena. It's not like Steve Jobs just woke up one morning and said, "Hey, let's free the code!"

Yep, any day.
Yep.
Sigh.

It's also very frustrating (and potentially damning to AOL) that some people are in paid positions doing exactly what many of the volunteer CLs do.

Baloo was kind enough to make a copy of the chat transcript that TSR held on their chat site. He also has a copy of the FAQ there.

Every big movie arrives in a cloud of tie-ins, toy promotions and fast-food marketing schemes these days. Lucas can?t be blamed for that.
Or can he? Salon's Charles Taylor sure seems to think so.
Did Lucas, ever the hater of Hollywood, succeed in helping destroy it?
