Blizzard never seems to budge on the issue of any of their games in Linux. Plus their ports to MacOS take ages. Maybe a boycott on their products will at least help them see that there is actually a market out there for non-Windows games...
There's nothing wrong with C... it's still a very viable language to solve problems with. I do agree with on the hungarian notation bit.. though it's not limited to C.. I've seen it used in C++ and even Perl.

"whoever has the most units in a battle wins, regardless of technology"
That is incorrect. I had 3 musketeers and a pikeman fortified in a city. A foreign civ tried to attack that city with 9 units all earlier aged units (i.e. less technology). I didn't lose any units at all after the battle. My musketeers see were able to take out entire lines of older units in a single shot. This makes sense because a legion of musketeers should be able to shoot down a bunch of guys with swords who can't do much about a rain of high velocity musket balls.
Nah 'foobar' is too similar to FUBAR which means Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition. I can't really think of a replacement other than 'code pimp' or 'code guru', anyone else have an idea?
Buying up all the simple names is just going to cause the people who want to make 'bush sucks' sites to be more creative. Public figures (i.e. celebrities) are always going to have people voice their opinions against them; they should learn to deal with it. I figure it shouldn't be any different in the political context.

What about us poor saps with the TNT1?
Not unless you use SysV init and you shut down daily. It fscks when a maximal boot count is reached even if it hasn't crashed.
You got the wrong SCSI if you want speed. The Ultra-2 has many drives past 9 gigs at 7200 RPM, and the throughput is 80mb/s.
Which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
