NES/FC and SNES/SFC clones have been a hot commodity for many years, especially in Asia and Brazil. For a selection of pirated systems, check out this page.
Indeed, Wikipedia's strengths, which compel me to involve myself, are a matter of a complex culture existing which permits an exchange of information and the development of a collaborative knowledge base, and the culture surrounding that knowledge base is a culture which is absolutely fundamentally dependent on the presence of every element of the Wikipedia design, including discussion pages for exchange of information and peer review, on page histories, and on the very sense of the project being a community of member-contributors.
I would say that this bears no more practical similarity to the information culture of Wikipedia than, say, letters to the editor of your newspaper do.
discovering that the cute 20-something you were TXTing a minute ago seems to have become a disturbing 50 year old man with bad teeth and worse breath.
Or discovering that the big, hairy 50 year old bear daddy you were trying to pick up is some cute-but-straight 20-something who's just playing with you.
It doesn't sound like they're giving everything away for free, if this quote from Wired, within TFA is accurate:
The indignity is all the greater when you consider Yahoo!'s numbers: 165 million registered users, 345 million unique visitors a month, $49 billion market cap, and a 62 percent increase in revenue last quarter, bringing 2004 total revenue to $3.6 billion. Yahoo! makes more money and has more patents, services, and users than Google; it even has its own yodel.
Indeed, as soon as a largely domestic problem starts to get (at least hypothetically) attributed to international terrorists, one can't help but worry that it's because domestic criminal policy is beginning to be actively conflated with international military policy. Maybe these are policy areas that one needn't much worry about conflating if one is, say, Iceland. But when one is the United States, conflating international military policy and domestic security policy can be an exceptionally scary thing.

I knew it. Without a 'breasts' option in the poll this time, Slashdotters are going to be seeking alternative avenues for the release of sexual energies all week.
This may be an older outlook on the franchise, but there is certainly good precedent for the position that, among the many sources on which Lucas drew to create Star Wars, were quite a few notions and cinematic approaches common to and drawn from contemporary superhero genre. When I read the association of superhero genre with Star Wars, I didn't react, as I just considered it natural, as I would consider someone associating the Western or the Sword and Sorcery genres with Star Wars.
If that crook Conrad Black can be a Lord, and a Scottish Nationalist knighted, I suppose Bill Gates being a knight is far from the strangest or the worst thing that could happen.
And for all those, particularly NES and SNES Final Fantasy fans, who have yet to experience the many glorious remixes which players have undertaken to make especially for the 8-bit and 16-bit era games, you are heartily encouraged to visit OC Remix's Final Fantasy game music remixes.
Personal favourites include Agony of Obscuration and The Atomizer for Final Fantasy VI, but the worthwhile remixes available are all in all, too long to list.
Clearly, their revenge will be complete when, at Cannes 2006, in a final stroke of revenge against Germany, for deeds now long past, Uwe Boll's next movie, Bloodrayne, opens with much fan fair at Cannes, billed as an exhbition of German cinematic excellence.

Given Google's efforts in other languages, it seems strange to me that they'd not continue their project in other languages.
As far as Google's efforts in other languages go, on behalf of the Klingon community, I would like to comment that I find Google's trivial attempt to court persons of Klingon extraction patronising and ultimately meaningless, in light of their apparent indifference to the immediate necessity for action with respect to the digitisation of the Klingon language corpus.
It is evident that Google favours and priveleges English language works over works of Klingon origin, and such bias will not go unnoted.
For that matter, as far as movies go, call me crazy, but what ever happened to the public library? At present, if I want to watch any of hundreds of major titles, aside from Blockbuster and the rental chains, I have the option of taking it out from [i]either[/i] the downtown Toronto Public Library or the University of Toronto's A/V centre. How available a wide array of DVDs are through public channels will depend on where you are, no doubt, but here they're readily available.
Whoever he is, you're too late for the striking back part, as it looks like the chap went ahead and kicked the bucket before anyone else could kick it out from under him.
Inevitable as humanity continues to grow and expand. It's not a cause but a symptom of overpopulation.
This is, I think, a word which we need to treat very carefully, with a mind to its historical use.
I'm bound to ask:
Was the upsurge in German nationalism and xenophobia in the wake of the First World War a product of overpopulation and overcrowding within an inadequate living space? Hitler certainly thought so, and made that idea crucial to his doctrine. But I tend to think the real sources of sociological tention were far, far more complex.
Before we start throwing around the word overpopulation without regard to the need for its clear definition, it's worth remembering that the notion of a present-day overpopulated, overcrowded living space creating unacceptable social tension is, interestingly, one on which the most vicious of racist ideologies have often fundamentally depended, and on which they have built their arguments.
Slashdot: Microsoft and a large, powerful prescription drug manufacturer have teamed up to fight their mutual enemies. Readers: Well...good for them.
Quick, someone take a picture of the page before a dominant theory emerges on why this is in fact a malevolent scheme on the part of Microsoft and Pfizer to take away our freedoms.

It is I suppose some kind of audio-vibratory-physio-molecular transport device?
Microsoft Writes Open Source Child Porn Buster
Ah, my mistake. I thought you were addressing me as Buster and suggesting that Microsoft was writing Open Source Child Porn.
I mean, really, is Microsoft above alleging a connection between Child Porn and Open Source Software?
I'm sure Dr. Oxford himself would concur regarding such a connection, after all.

(Yes, I know, it's horrible. The line to shoot me starts over there. *point*)
What would be the point? You'd probably just get back up and continue to work through the pain and keep on fighting, even when wounded.

Space Opera replaces Sci-Fi, but that already happened, decades ago.

No, that was Mars Attacks.

I might also have wished, ideally, for a nod to the astrolabe, somewhere there, within a listing of the most incredibly nifty gadgets of all time.
As far as pre-modern computing goes, I can think of few devices more compelling.
