Nethack also wouldn't be as interesting, especially in the end game. It's partially because that part of the game ramps up the challenge significantly, but it's largely because this character that you've invested time and energy in is on the line and you're so close to the finish line.
Being able to save and reload may keep you from being frustrated, but it also keeps the game from being exciting.

As much as I love the old McDonald's record you have to listen to to see if the song finishes and you win a prize, perhaps the greatest Coke song ever was one that was never published.
I watched Jello Biafra at H2K2 last year pull out a vinyl copy of an old song made for a Coke corporate sales conference. Called something like "That Great Big Bottling Plant In The Sky," it extolls the virtues of how great a world without the EPA and labor disputes could be. You'll never see that on TV.

I'll second that. I had a VIA chipset that wouldn't play nice with my Radeon 9800. After I got an Nvidia chipset, I didn't have any more issues.
Err... that isn't blood. Time to get out the medical dictionary and learn to distinguish different bodily proteins.
Now that's what I call humour.
Why bother verbally attacking? I tend to follow this response, which works in nearly every case:
Telemarketer: Hello, may I speak to whomever is...
You: [click]
