But doesn't a GUI tie all those little commands together too? A program like gcombust allows users to burn CDs easily without having to pipe mkisofs into cdrecord. A GUI program still gives users the same ability and power as a command-line, it just puts a different face on it.
From what I've seen round here, the English version would be no more useful than a version in Klingon.
Uh, you know what kind of people read Slashdot right? Klingon is the language of choice for most of its audience.
Why wouldn't this work for Q3 or UT? Give players a basic single player mode with a limited number of maps and the full multiplayer mode. When they play through part of the tournament, ask them to purchase another chunk of it that contains additional maps and bots.

It allows players to practice before taking their skills online against others and gives dialup players a chance to experience the game.
Sell players subscriptions. "Every month, if you want us to, we'll send you new content and ding your credit card."
And since broadband still isn't ubiquitous, give players the option to have the extra content delivered on CD.
But you're assuming that people will only load their iPods up with music that they've ripped from the CDs that they own. I willing to bet most people equate MP3s and digital audio with Kazaa, etc. and not with copies from media they already own.
Looking for older versions of IE for your older machines? Check out evolt's archive of old broswers. They even have 16-bit versions of Netscape and IE.

I realize it's Saturday, but maybe if you read the article you'd see that USAPhotoMap is the exact program used in this HOWTO.

Don't forget, IBM is also manufacturing VIA's C3 processors.

That John Romero is a sexy woman though.
Also, don't forget this is from The Inquirer. Definitely not the most credible news source in the world.
