I guess a note to people that haven't seen the other Fallout trailers, they are worth checking out. They were poignant and re-watchable, and at the time of Fallout 1, nothing to compare it against. Also, the Fallout 2 made me appreciate Louie Armstrong's "A Kiss to Build a Dream On" in a way I hadn't before.

I think most parent probably would choose that if offered. I mean, you need to get some sleep.
Parent: What? Kill all my family and neighbors? Parent: Huh? You're a talking black-lab? Parent: Ug? You're a black lab - giant squid mix? Parent: I speak only in questions?
Intelligent, insightful (i guess, my commodore modem sat in a closet - unused), funny, with a little dash of flamebait for spice --- oh, and extremely geeky (all it needs is an anime/ultima/GEB/HG2G reference). This should be the litmus test for a slashdot comment.
There are plenty of uses for graphical acceration with linux kernels besides the embedded market. A lot of simulation programs/projects are written for Linux (or where ported from old SGI/etc programs). And if you wish to visualize these in a 3D manner, or something derived off of OpenGL, then you are going to need an accelerated driver to maintain a decent framerate. nVidia wouldn't want to lose those customers to ATI if ATI was the only company willing to deliver a linux driver.
As someone that coded in BASIC on a C64/Apple II when they were a kid and use Python now, I would say - do not mourn the loss. BASIC was the right tool then, now it would be like trying to put a steam engine in a Honda (this is bait for all the Bad/Car Analogy people). While you could POKE and give people seizures with BASIC due to it's close connection to older machines, modern OSes are not the same. So, yes I do have to use more than 1 line or at least install a package. But, the result is much more satisfing than re-writing Breakout/Asteroids for the hundredth time. You can use a mulitude of libraries from PyGame to PyOpenGL to do graphics fairly easily with much better results.

Python's readability plain blows BASIC out of the water for first-time learners. Once you get use to Python's syntax and semantics... languages like BASIC and C/C++ seem dated and archaic. Note: I code in C++, so I am not knocking the language entirely. I just wish things did not feel so hacked together. E.g.: doing string operations in the 2 languages with or without STL for C++.

Sounds like God is kind-of a dick.
I think the point, while this may not been GP's intention, is that marketing can bring profits this quarter. R&D cannot do that.
Wow, this looks the AWESOXR too: Dr. Strange. Wong - cause comic books needed more homo-erotic undertones.
Am I the only one that saw this and thought, weird - alt.religion.scientology - went on a field trip to a creation museum. Did it have volcanoes?

So, is that like abortion spam?
You this "the Principal" ... James Belushi and Louis Gossett Jr. striking another bad-ass pose
Let's see .. Yes and yes.
Oh boy ... this gem again. At least change SOME of the words.
Troll? (Unfunny, probably)
"Moderators are Java Sympathizers!"
That's what a troll is.
I liked the additional comment:
// do nothing

if (suspect == "Patrick Naughton")
{
}
somebody else can make sure that is Java syntax.
I thought you HAD to made that up. Do his fellow employess squeek a toy and tell him to fetch on occasion as well?

Hey, you should meet up with this comment
Ann Rand!? WTF ever!

I am going to start using colons now like craz:::::zy like$?!
Actually, I am a computer parson that has the Hubris to learn how to cook some Hunan (maybe Mongolian as well).

That's because they were just borrowing it.
Gamera is really neat,
He is filled with turtle meat.
We all love you, GAMERA!!!
