Oh, come on. Look at California, where people build their houses where they can't exist for more than ten years, because they'll either go downhill with a mud-slide or burn to a crisp in a wildfire. You'll also find people abusing the drains somehow, often resulting in drownings.
Sure, if the russians had developed the Space Pen, they wouldn't need "outside help" (in the fom of money, not technology), but could have made the money by selling it on Sharper Image instead.
Quite often, latest patches to drivers and new features are only in Alan Cox's tree. Those who want to go with the official Linux source code may find themselves unable to apply the patches due to the different VM code all over.
So we have a fork with two branches of the Linux kernel, with different VM systems, but also with other features different. In the end the decission between the two may not be made on the VM system at all, but on the other features like a missing driver.
Blue Byte , the developers of Battle Isle (the latest installment from last year is called "Battle Isle: The Andosia War" and combines turn based tactics with real time battle), also made/make a RTS by the name of The Settlers (currently No. IV), which is much more centered at building up your camp/village than at fighting - some missions can be done without any fighting.
It's the Microsoft site, I don't intend to go there, what browsers they accept there doesn't bother me. Other sites might, but not MS (nor MSN or Hotmail).
Err, no. RTS = Real Time Strategy. There is no element of "real time" in Civ3 - just strategy. Just because Civ3 adds the element of "needed resources" doesn't make it "real time", just more interesting (I would hope so;-)
Oh? I thought we were talking about passengers with guns "protecting" the plane.
Well, if. If the door to the cockpit had simply been shut and locked, the hijackers couldn't have entered the cockpit and hijacked the plane. Again, no need for a gun.
Talking about the Mac version:

It's now "first playable" and "the port is coming along great, and we hope to have a few surprises for OS X users."
Sorry, but how did you reach that conclusion? The resources are similar to the ones in the old Civs, just that they don't give you extra shields/food/trade, instead you have to have access to a certain resource to build some units (and get some other effects IIRC). This leads to the need to get those resources by diplomacy/trade, by building a colony or by war/conquering them.
I just realised I made a terrible miss-calculation! The 13 cams would actually cost $208, blowing the budget of the project. I'm sorry for getting your hopes up:-(
And at $16 for.3 megapixels, this sounds like more of a novelty than a bargain, considering that 4-megapixel cameras are available now for less than a thousand dollars.
But if you buy 13 of them, you can build your own 3.9-megapixel cam for just $199!
Let me note that turning your TV upside-down won't help, since the picture projected on the wall will not be rotated by 180 degrees, but inverted horizontally, so after you turn your TV upside-down, you'll probably still recognize the actors, but you'll have to adapt to reading right-to-left.

Nitpick: you don't add more bits (binary digits), you change to (more) trits (in the case of Trinary)- or should they be called tits?
Because she was only halfBetazoid, silly.

One more advantage of the iPod: the UI (both on screen and the wheel/buttons) seems to be dead easy.
5 more, and things get interesting ;-)

This is getting better every time. So the guard would have kept the hijackers out of the cockpit from the other end of the plane?

The iMac will never sell.
Okay, I was wrong, but the iBook will never sell.
Okay, I was wrong about the iBook too, but the iPod will never sell.
The guys on flight 93 managed just fine without guns.
Problem is, the employer is afraid somebody will sue them if something should hapen and they didn't took meassures. It's the American sueing industry.
Uhh. It was John Scully's baby. Jobs doesn't much care about Gil, but Scully kicked him out.
IBM didn't open the specs to their hardware either, they just made a blunder by making it with off-the-shelve parts and easily re-engineerable.

One odd thing about Civ-fanatics is that they complain about a Phalanx beating a Battleship, but not that that Phalanx is more than 2000 years old ;-)
So he leads the lifestyle of a GI.
