"...but as ever there is no mention of the european launch. Despite the fact europe is a very lucrative market & will undoubtadly produce some fantastic games for this platform, once again we have to wait untill last...."
Be fair now. Napoleon didn't even make it to Japan or the US. WWI was launched in Europe, and did much better there than Asia. And even though WWII was launched first in Manchuria, the big unveiling was in Europe.

You're confusing the theory, and attacking it on the basis of your misunderstanding. Archaeologists don't belive that migration was across ice, but that enough ice was piled up to drop the sea level, exposing dry land where there is now the Bering Strait. The people-to-be-known-as-Indians were walking across the present-day bottom of the sea.
You are correct that there was cross-strait intercourse outside of ice ages, but any mass migration would have been during them.

Both of these are false, of course, but he doesn't know that.
Actually though, he has a point. There are a lot of innocent searches that can return inappropriate results. "Brittney Spears Video" for example. I don't think that's a good enough reason to shut down p2p networks; it would be good to have more intelligent search capabilities. Like that will happen.
Much better idea in theory than practice. Think about capslock errors. Now think about having an entire keyboard remapped where the only indicator is the keyboard itself. Essentially you have a modal interface where the indicator isn't in your locus of attention.
I suggest "The Humane Interface," for more on this.
That's the wacky thing: Adobe doesn't employ them. In Germany, lawyers can send these letters on anyone's behalf, even yours. I wonder how much of this firm's income is from these selfless acts.
1) Some of the finest programmers in the world were (are?) Russian. Tetris springs to mind, though it's not the best example. Traditionally they didn't have the American option of throwing cycles at a problem until it went away.
2) The Russians were given the program by the Americans. Offhand I don't remember who developed it, but it was a custom job.
Mentioned in the article, "Bones were found on the island by a British group in 1940. Also found was a campfire, a box designed to hold a sextant and the heel of a woman's shoe."
It's not like they found a rust spot in the Pacific and decided it was Earhart. It sounds like they were looking for confirmation this was the island. (Why, I can't say)

Really, you guy's can't get everything first!

Just as long as they don't make me watch "World's Scariest Lesbians"

That's actually a good point. If my win box hangs, I can reboot it. If the state persists for fifteen years, how will the BSOD be dispelled?
