Nooooooo! dont start suggesting solutions! the less "non-standard, IE specific" code we have in the world, the better!...(I'm sorry, your browser doesn't support this important line of information, you should use IE because I am too lazy to write code myself)...
By not including a web editor, micro$oft are actually supporting browsers that conform to 'real' standards, and not their own!:-)
Oh the Irony... where as most of the *nix crew are probably skilled enough to not need syntax highlighting (although it's a nicety), windows users (afraid of *nix) are the ones who'd mostly benefit from it.
Stating that women *are* mind readers simply supports the fact that men are more intelligent. Women are obviously using their mind reading ability rather than excercising the brain and improving their own intelligence!:-P
or perhaps what we have here is an example of the progression of adult content in games, and the subsequent acceptance of it into society.

In 5 years from now we'll look back at GTA:SA and think the game is worthy of a G rating.
GTA3 and Vice City had to be stripped of Hookers before the game could be (re)released here in Australia but San Andreas was released complete with hookers, and the ability to pick them up.
Actually, the Format for Voltron has been used in many TV shows. I'm not even sure that Voltron was the first to use the format either!
Sailor Moon is a perfect example... just like Voltron, the '5' Sailor Scouts attempt to battle the enemy individually and fail... and then they team up and 90% succeed. the final 10% of success is from the use of Sailor Moon's "Moon Scepter" (and other weapons found in later season episodes) which in Voltrons world equates to his "Blazing Sword".
Not with MS, but I was interviewed for a Programmers position at a home loan company which involved quiz style techniques, and actually got the job... within 2 weeks of starting, I was sacked because they didn't like my personality... Just proves that a quiz certainly cant tell a company _everything_ they _need_ to know about someone
I'm not sure exactly where the fun factor went but I think the the key lies within their replayability. When memory cards & battery backup were introduced and you were able to save your game and switch off your console, games were made longer. Sure, they were fun, but after you finished the game there was little attraction to go back to it because you had 'seen it all before'.
When you could finish a game within an afternoon, game makers had to make sure that there was plenty of replay value in the game because there's nothing worse than spending $10 on a brand new game for your Atari 2600, only to have finished it after 20 minutes of play when you got it home!
I guess replay value had to incorporate some aspects of fun, otherwise you wouldn't be attracted to go back and play it, and the other thing that has changed in games lately is Hi-Score pride. Most games these days dont have score counters, but you'll notice that those that do will have a lot of replay value (and seem 'fun') one game I am thinking of in particular is the SingStar series on PS2. for me, this game is both fun, and I could replay it for months!

then you'd make google earth a Pay-Per-View service, and "cha-ching"... you're microsoft!
they can also handle a little bit of that too!
Forget Tom Hanks!
All they needed was to port the old classig 'Moon Patrol' to IMAX! 15 foot Pixels Yay!

How times change!
Oh yeah.... and I cant think of any software developer who gives their software away for free....
err, hang on... linux! thats right!
Yeah, but didn't Stan go on to sell Used Coffins?
Ahh Stan... your waving-arm salesmanship is truely missed!
Just to clarify, for those who cant multiply..
720p = 1280x720 = 921600 pixels
XGA = 1024x768 = 786432 pixels
The numbers speak for themselves..
720p is 135168 pels higher than XGA

Just picked up the 5th (and final set yesterday) and personally, I feel complete!
$300AUD Well spent!
Now, to find an Additional $300 for the 5 Box Sets of Battle Of The Planets
if they patent those, people will be (_O_) for being such a (_._) not paying for it use!
