Here is a biography of everyone's favorite chess savior protecting humanity against the robotic horde. Included is a list of matches and results throughout the years.
The Social Security Administration has a database with information on the most popular baby names of about the past 100 years.
Sort by decade or year of birth. Pretty interesting, imo. It's fun to watch which names stay on the top 10 for decades in a row and which were popular at one point and then declined dramatically.
"I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion, and the international Communist conspiricy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids."

The new Dragon's Lair reminds me an awful lot of the new Zelda that has made its way into Japan and will soon be here in the U.S. The only difference? Zelda has the magic of Miyamoto behind it and has garnered great reviews (at least of the import version).
Dragon's Lair is something that should have stayed in the arcade or your MAME cabinet forever and not have been rehased for the PC.
Is there any way the peripheral to peripheral features of firewire could be used to create an advanced disk redundancy solution ala RAID? I ask this because I know the new Firewire specs shipping on the fancy new Apple machines are getting quite speedy and one of the prime advantages of 1394 over USB is the device to device communication that is possible.
Is it possible to use Firewire and a service like Rendevous to make an intelligent redundant system? It's a thought at least. My firewire drive I use for my Inspiron works nicely enough. Would firewire be cheaper than RAID for servers, however?
C&C Generals has a 91% average review rating over at GameTab. Pretty good rating so far and as more reviews are released I'm sure this average will hang around 90%.
The only second generation names I'd like to see would be.kids and.xxx. These two TLDs would solve more problems than they would create, imo. It wouldn't necessarily cause a policing effect on the Internet but it will help narrow potential searches for children and adults to sites that they were actually looking for in the first place.
I'd hate to see what kind of *.xxx domains get picked, though. And for that matter I'd hate to see some of the scary things placed under.kids.
Hopefully the Lucas compound will be able to use the close connections to create better products all around. Lucasarts has produced some great games over the years but the teams have always had a hard time dealing with NDA agreements with the other Lucas companies and tailoring a specific game to an upcoming movie release.
With everything in one boat maybe future titles will improve upon titles such as Bounty Hunter which surely could have been much better if the process was streamlined better internally.
It's not quite dead - has some good reviews

Right now The Sims Online has a 72% rating at GameTab which collects reviews from a number of media sources.
72% isn't that great, but definitely isn't a dud. It seems the game is much more of a niche item than its predecessors were. Will it be profitable? Only time will tell.
