So look for the Pendragon Pictures release of War of the Worlds, scheduled for spring 2005. This one is done in period and sticks to the book. Trailers and info at:

Take a look at the trailer for their other film, "Chrome" to see how they handle effects. I can't wait to see the batttle with the Thunderchild!
Version 10, that is. Subsequent releases of the Suite (11 & 12) still include the application (Pro version only), but there has been no real change in Paradox in a very long time.
Paradox is dead as far as Corel is concerned. The last maintenance release was v. 1, and they (Corel) no longer employ a development team for it. Borland still owns the database engine for Paradox (BDE) and stopped doing development on it years ago. Don't get your hopes up.
Machine intelligence won't strictly be "built". It would need to evolve from a set of algorithms, using a survival model, where decision-making is key to progress.
The real line would have to be drawn between intelligence (sentience) and intellectual property. Perhaps an lawyer AI designed to sue other AI patents out of existence. I can think of at least one company willing to Start Creating One.

What's more fun is to see how many levels deep you can go with emulation. I did this several years ago and, if memory serves, had:
OS 8.1 on a PowerComputing clone running VPC 3 (Windows 98) which was running UAE (Amiga Forever version -- 3.1 roms) running Fusion (68k Mac -- OS 7.1) running SoftWindows 1.0 (Windows 95) running PacifiST (Atari ST, TOS 1.0).
I was actually able to load an image of "Dungeon Master" in this config, albiet taking a full six minutes to get past the splash screen.
I remember trying other combinations involving different emulators, but Five levels deep is the best I was able to get....now if I only had used PC Ditto in PacifiST...

This one is done in period, and promises to be faithful to the book. The trailer for their other film, "Chrome" is worth a look as well.

Actually it's an odd choice as ferrets are notorious thieves - socks, TV remotes, copyrighted cds... That's part of their charm.
A better choice might be a cartoon Ashcroft... Oh, wait... we already have one.
This screams for the "Benny Hill" theme.

After 20-odd years in front of multiple CRTs, the room is soley lit by me.

Actually, stop-motion films of Jesus confirm the theory.
Using the Homeland Security tool "Deep Scan" we have uncovered proprietary bits of SCO code in the WSJ scan.

They certainly devote a boatload of resources to competition they liken to OS/2:
