IANBM [1], but maybe the fucking-hot gasses are lighter than the not-so-fucking-hot gasses, hence travel away from the center of mass, taking the heat with them?
But that's basically just a wild guess, for all I know about fusion and astrophysics it could really be baby Jesus intelligently distributing the heat.
At least arabic script is alphabetic with relatively simple transliteration (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_transliteration), so it is trivial to check even if you don't actually know the language.

Sure. The check you presented is trivial.
But now you'll need a "Sorry you're too young for this game" screen, you'll need the functionality to acutally SET the age in the console options, probably with some kind of user profiles so daddy can still play "Zombie Massacre" while preventing his kid from doing so.
Now the user profiles or the age settings need some kind of password protection.
You need to provide a possibility to reset that password because people tend to forget those.
Wham, thats another two or three screens.
You'll need those screens in 42 different languages. You'll probably want to have some graphics there so you'll need suitable graphics (suitable for 42 different locales).
Of course you'll need to test all that.
You need the specification for where and how the games are to store their "evil bit".
You need to document it both internally as well as for the user manual.
Science never have and never will prove or disprove God.
Why? Of course, "prove" and "disprove" are hefty tasks (especially the latter), but assuming "god(s)" somehow interact(s) with the universe (and therefore have measurable effects), why exactly should he/she/it/they be outside the scope of science?

It already does. Except that it's called `SELECT name FROM languages LIMIT 1 ORDER BY number_of_fanbois_dangerously_close ASC`.

cool, now i'm the pope!
Feasible shmeasible. I'm a computer scientist. If it's been done before, it is now trivial. :)

In Soviet Russia, everyone knows Jobs has the iPhone Users. Oh wait...

You need to train support staff.
Good luck finding someone to do that for 1000$.
C'mon, he's harmless... he ain't on the no-fly list!

Switches? Plugboards? What are you, some kind of girl that can't solder?
So if you produced the sugar by distilling Coca Cola (TM), the cop could be fooled by the taste of coca extract?
You look at his/her computer generated birth certificate?
Arrr.. Don't dump the rum, drink it!

funny, but whats the rationale to have u = 2+1?
In that case, it isn't cp-right infringement, it's mv-right infringement.
As if that was possible.

Wow.... they've come a long way from just saying "NI!".
It's just too tempting:
In soviet russia, malware pnws YOU!
Of course evolution is random. And casinos are extraordinarily lucky to stay in business, too. :)
Well... if you see a new word in German, it usually is an english word and you're back to square one.
Hey, that Monkey Island movie with Johnny Depp and Legolas was a huge success, wasn't it?

Exactly. They hate that.
