Your post confirms my suspicions totally, after the fashion story from a few days ago, us geeks now try to say people are doing things for tech fashion, when really you're just the SFV (Stupid Fashion Victim).
I was part of a team that entered this, for the web/downloadable category, our entry is here: here
here if you take the time to goto the third floor, and a multiplayer version (not downloadable yet) is here. My point? It's fun and gives a lot of experience! The fee is little between a few people
In related news, the University of Tokoyo is going 'paperless' this year, doing away with books, textbooks and toilet paper. When asked if this was due to budget reasons, the school's principle failed to reply.
I guess the litigator really should cut down on the caffine in the mornings
On a more on-topic ms note, I just saw an add on/. by MS saying 'Find out how much easier we've made licensing our communications protocols'..
We now have to pay to use a protocol? yuwah?

Actually (not that your wrong) after the big scary terrorists, American polititions have to pay attention to email, and letters take a lot longer because of security
If I was more objective, it would seem that Microsoft bring out a 'We hold best TCO' article, and then this side brings out an 'Oh no you dont article'
I'm creating the 'It's behind you' article right now.. don't worry
Well for that you would need a bucket of clear nano-paint and a team of nano-ants to re-arrange the paint once applied. You also need a nano-bewolf cluster to coordinate the millions of ants (yes, nano power stations will soon be a consumer commoditie).
Firstly, these are good, and cheap:

They can be programmed with java, c and much more, yet are basic. They are made to work well with servos and such, and are very versitile (read up on vitural circuit)
For a more expensive option, the famous mini-itx boards are great, and robot sized heh

Starting at about the same price as a microcontroller (well, some)!! Java is here too:)
I suppose I'm more looking into cpus for robots, so maybe this is not ideal.

So waht happens when the parents light a nice warm fire? Hehe, it's fiewire then.
As most others said, in online games, cheats are a crime with victims, but in single player games / a game where your friends are involved and cheating too, cheats are meerly an expansion of the game. One of my favourite gaming memories is playing the N64 Mission Impossible game on the Embassey mission at the start, only with a weapon cheat.
That meant that I could covertly creep around, and kill isolated people. Many times you got caught, but it was brilliant fun picking them all off until it was just you and the piano player. I beat the game myself, which was fun, but never as much as steping outside of the missions, and causing the planned processes to screw up.
As for the sims cheating example, well anyone thats played sims a while knows the everyone unhappy and messy situation, which is just depressing. With a bit more cash, you can spend hours perfecting the deam house.. dam did that waste lots of my time. I find it laughable that these kids getting free cash are going to be deluded about the world after that.
It's like news-papers, having it in this format is just convenient, and the older population will see no reason to ditch it. I think they may just be releasing the informative stuff, ie news and documentaries.
This is brilliant, but unfortunately it's now found speed increases the temperature, and not only burns the disk, but me under ^_^. Never-the-less, brilliant!
I previously used this editor
Valve Hammer Editor 3.4.exe for Half life map making, but it works for Quake and other bsp using games. It has what they call 'furniture' items, which are libraries of pre-built meshes. These may be useful to you or may not (many are lab items for half life ect..). Anyway, this is a nice editor and of course any FPS is nice for previewing the house.

Oh shit, that makes me a reciprocal SFV, aeeee

We've got open-firmware. Apple, Sun and others already use it and everythings grand. But, you can still make a bios if you must.

Although not suitable for obvious reasons, I liked the Alien series' name for the computer, 'Father' and 'Mother'
In the end, nobody has to use it, and it's a good idea and I would love to see it eventually part of the distros
BUT it's never going to catch on called 'Y'!
A) it doesn't sound cool, and
B) its too much like the yahoo IM service Y!
Will you buy me 1500 Imacs? I wouldn't complain or make bad jokes about it.

Later on when asked about how accurate certain parts of the sequence were, he replied 'Ruff! Ruff!'. Unsurprisingly nobody laughed.
When can I become a usb input device? I want to be serial, and hot pluggable!

Does this mean a free toy for every third employee? Yay!

Oh she was! None of the other ones ever asked when they would get their organism...

I want a hex-pod of those things. We could put people inside and drive them crazy with their own reflection - oh.. that already happens.
