Excellent, so we just install from a 1GB flash drive or NFS mount and everything's cool right?

It represents a rare opportunity to compare assumptions derived from the fossil record and an actual living specimen to determine overall accuracy of the techniques involved. This discovery also provides a compelling argument for preservation efforts in Southeast Asia.
It also provides a compelling argument that the world might not be as old as we think it is.
Since when have we been using mln to denote million?
What's wrong with calling 90 Megabucks $90M ?
Unless people are worried about conflicting with powers of two, but in any case that should be denoted: $90Mi, or 90 Mibibucks.
Or does mln denote "Millions of dollars worth of in-store advertising credit", which another poster has pointed out is what the plaintiff is receiving.
If we're talking about potentially great games that never made it to market, how about the original Halo?
You know, the one that was developed entirely by Bungee and was nearly ready for release before they were bought out by Microsoft. Let's call it Halo(PC) for simplicity.
After the acquisition, pressure was put on Bungee to put out an XBox flagship since MS had nothing at that point. To fit in the enormous memory limitations of the original XBox compared to a standard PC, great wads of the game (geometry, textures, levels etc) were cut out and the original game was shelved never to be seen again. And Halo(XBox) was born. People flocked to it in droves since it was supposed to be this great revolutionary game, and left wondering, quite rightly, what the fuss was all about.
When Microsoft was kind enough to announce Halo for the PC, Bungee wasn't allowed near the original PC game they'd written. No, instead they ported the XBox version (rather poorly) to the PC. So Halo(XBox[pc]) was created. And the PC gamer says "This plays better on my friends XBox" and goes out and buys an XBox himself, forgetting his clunky old PC.
So yes, I would like to see Halo(PC) one day. I know it's not going to happen, but maybe after MS is split up by [insert future reigning superpower here] in 2015 we might see something.
You do realise that you lose your freedom either way, right?
The ideals of Freedom put forward by those founding father characters are not applicable in todays society.
You can either have state control, where corrupt governments watch your every move, or become an Islamic nation. I don't think I need tell you which is the lesser of two evils there.
European, African and Slovac countries are drifting towards the latter.

For those who do not know, Allah is God in Arabic.
From a certain point of view, yes it is. But not the capitalized God as we understand it, which usually refers to the Judaic and Christian God YHWH.
It is clear from the Quaran that the Allah it refers to has very little in common with God, and is more likely a demon if you believe in such spiritual matters.

Lycoris, I believe it was, had a solitare game you could play while installing.
Lots of fun.

Ugh. The scariest part is that otherwise intelligent people like RMS actually believe this extreme-socialist rubbish.
Completely ignoring, of course, that the planet has no population problem.
It has a resource allocation problem.
...unless you happen to live in a hot climate, in which case your argument is turned 100% on its head :)
Unless someone can get this whole Zero Point thing working reliably.

From looking at your website, I seriously hope you're joking.
Either that or you badly need a reality check.

It's refreshing to see the occasional game that might be focussed on fun without resorting to violence or gratuitous T&A.
But an XBox 360 exclusive? What are they thinking? Why cut out most of your market?
They don't have to. Stop hiring big name actors and the problem goes away.
Something is wrong when one goes to a movie just to see a familiar face.
Where's the announcement? Where's the quote from Stringer?
Because I sure don't see either in TFA.
... but the equation editor in OOo is light years ahead of MS Office (even with the MathType add-on) it's just not funny.
Overhype?
Never!
According to http://www.chapmantripp.co.nz/track_record/track_r ecord.asp?id=112, Chapman Tripp's roles include:
"Advising Microsoft Corporation on digital copyright, parallel
importation and copyright enforcement issues, including submissions to
the Ministry of Economic Development and the select committee."
"Acting as general counsel for Microsoft Corporation on its anti-piracy
campaign in New Zealand, including conducting copyright infringement
litigation generally."
Of course he won't have any bias towards OSS.

Perhaps they mean bundling Outlook Express with Windows?
Now all that time I wasted playing Lunar Lander in high school might just pay off!
