They were also retrieved by the unnamed pilot in X-Wing. I think Dark Alliance also involved stealing the Death Star plans, although I haven't played the game.
The problem with TSW was that it was a rehash of Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, while all the Final Fantasy games were rehashes of Laputa: Castle in the Sky. They should've got the people in charge of the Phantasy Star series to make TSW, as they have a lot more experience ripping off Nausicaa.
If this type of approach produced the reasonably well-done products that Google puts out then there'd be reason to applaud it. Instead, this is the approach that produced Windows Vista.
I guess you haven't been keeping up on the news. We repelled your invasion long ago, and burnt down your capitol in the process. Points for effort, though.
Nonsense. A standard linux distro comes with at least a full office suite (openoffice or maybe koffice), a good paint program, vector program, movie player, firewall (frontends) and so on and so forth. Thousands of piece of software.
A "standard linux distro" does not, at this point, come pre-installed on computers from mainstream commercial outlets, therefore any software that comes with this distro is also not pre-installed. It may install automatically when the distribution is installed, but it is never pre-installed to begin with.
As for the driver issue, the difference between having a driver included with an OS and requiring the user to stick a CD in their drive to install it is a hell of a lot less than the difference between having a driver and not having a driver at all.
Linux has no pre-installed software for the simple reason that unless you go to some obscure vendor that the average person has probably never heard of Linux is never pre-installed itself. As for drivers, there may be a larger number of them for Linux, but there's still a significant chance that any given gadget that someone picks up off the store shelves will have not work in Linux at all, while it will always work in Windows. (whether or not it works well is, of course, another matter entirely.)
Why not make it campy? One of the main things that always set Spider-Man apart in his early days was his sense of humour (before they threw that aside to pile on more angst.)
They may have changed their policy since the last time I checked, but I'm pretty sure subscribing to Cedega just means that you can download the new versions of the program when they're released. If your subscription expired, the last version you installed will still work, you just won't be able to get updates.
Having a roof over your head is a bit more important than having an extremely dangerous toy, regardless of whether or not some guys in the late 18th century thought it was too obvious a fact to point out.
I think the philosophy always was something along the lines of "When you're making a show about a guy who travels through time and is constantly changing history, you don't have to worry about continuity too much."

Slashdot already greatly impedes one of the most common vectors for the spread of HIV.

I thought you got sent to Australia for breaking British law.

Bah, the very existence of a home release of RHPS is an abomination before God, anyway.

Why would a consumer ever want to use a device with MacroVision installed on it?

Fuck everything, we're doing 13 screens!
There's a fairly well-known mechanism for that sort of thing in biology, but most Slashdotters are unfamiliar with it.
You just haven't been watching the right porno.
Maybe Mario will get one of his go-karts.
OpenOffice isn't a QT app.
But they'd all be QT and KDE apps, and who in their right mind would want that?

More of an Angel wannabe than a Buffy wannabe, from what I've seen.
The old series was fairly disjointed, too.

It saps and impurifies our precious bodily fluids.
