This is one of the things I disliked about the LucasArts games. You're usually immortal. How is that possible?
As a matter of fact, the death-scenes in Sierra's games, especially in the Space Quest games, were usually really hillarious!
This is what I fear the most. I haven't seen Sierra release a true adventure game in years. As a matter of fact, I see Space Quest 6 as the last real quest Sierra has released, and that was in 1995...
That's why I'm afraid they'll ruin it, just like they turned the Police Quest series, which was a great series of adventure games, into SWAT...
It seems they don't think adventure games sell like they used to, and that's why everybody releases all these multiplayer/3D/FPS/whatever games.
Ah yes, I remember installing Linux for the first time. It was Slackware 3.4 if I am not mistaken. That was a nice distribution. But I feel that today's distributions like Debian and RedHat are superior thanks to their excellent package management systems. Can someone tell me, what solutions are there for easy package management in Slackware?
The asshole Michael Eitan was science minister in the government of the greatest asshole in history, Benjamin Netanyahu. Luckily, in May 17, 1999, the people of Israel have overthrown the opressing leader, and a new science minister, Matan Vilnai, was appointed. So Mr. Eitan isn't science minister for more than a year and a half now, just to put things straight.
First of all, don't give up. It is true that Microsoft has almost complete domination of Israel due to its complete Hebrew support in its OS, but a lot progress has been made in that area in the Unix world in recent months.
For those of you who didn't know, KDE's Konqueror web browser can display any Hebrew web page, including Microsoft IE's "logical Hebrew". In addition, the QT library on which KDE is based will have full support for displaying and writing RTL Unicode text in its next major release. Check out these two screenshots for an example of these capabilities that are currently in development: http://trolls.troll.no/~lars/unicode1.png, and http://trolls.troll.no/~lars/unicode2.png.
After having this version of QT released, a lot of our Hebrew problems will be solved.

Though it is true that The Simpsons became a series on January 14, 1990, The first episode of The Simpsons was aired 4 weeks before that, on December 17, 1989. That was the first time we were introduced to the simpsons as a full 30-minute episode series.
I always believe that companies that are named after people, usually their founders, have the lamest names. However, not all the names are like that. A name like Dell for example sure is a good and successful one.
All you people here are saying that you don't like it, but I think it's pretty good. This person here made a really nice parody and I appreciate his efforts.

An article in AdventureGamers confirms these rumors.

There are a lot of lame TLAs, as we can see.

O.K, so to sum things up, the versions of RedHat are:
6.2 = lorax
6.1 = cartman
6.0 = hedwig
5.9 = starbuck
5.2 = apollo
5.1 = manhattan
5.0 = hurricane
4.2 = biltmore
4.1 = vanderbilt
4.0 = colgate
And the connections we've come to so far are:
4.0 -> 4.1 - Colgate, Vanderbilt = Womens' colleges
4.1 -> 4.2 - Vanderbilt, Biltmore = Famous hotels in NY
4.2 -> 5.0 - Biltmore, Hurricane = (?)
5.0 -> 5.1 - Hurricane, Manhattan = Alcoholic beverages
5.1 -> 5.2 - Manhattan, Apollo = The two projects: the a-bomb and the moon landing
5.2 -> 5.9 - Apollo, Starbuck = Battlestar Galactica characters
5.9 -> 6.0 - Starbuck, Hedwig = Figure skating champions
6.0 -> 6.2 - Hedwig, Lorax = Dr. Seuss characters
6.1 -> 6.2 - Cartman, Lorax = The cartoon connection?
If it is flat, doesn't it mean the universe is two-dimensional?

I can see that their site is back up now. Seems like they've recovered from the initial /. effect...
Didn't an article on the exact same subject get posted just 5 minutes ago?
Yeah, I have an old 486 too. These computers are still useful, especially for word-processing.

I remember reading that the human brain has a storage capacity of approximately 122 MB. It's explained here.
This reminds me that the first hard-drive had a whopping 5 MB of storage and was the size of two large refrigerators...
The person that created this has WAY too much time on his hands.
