You could manage your party in some unique way, you could drop one your follows in some city so they can work, and than later in the game (because time advanced), make them rejoin your party and have the money they've made! Scandalous!
In fact, the British English word colour comes from the Old French word with the same spelling : colour (circa 1050-1100 A.D.). It's in French that the spelling changed for couleur!
A similar situation is with the English word connoisseur (borrowed form Old French), which is now spelt connaisseur in modern French.

Python was created from the start to be easy to learn
But I think BASIC on VIC-20 was even easier to learn then Python : no need to use colons or indenting! And what about the dreaded ==, impossible to understant for a kid!
Mod me troll.
Reading the comments already posted, I understand that some persons think that the service will be used to play games in whole (i.e. replace completly your PC or your console)...
But if they'd RTFA, these persons would understand that Gaikai is mainly intented to demo games before getting them (now IMHO, that's a promising idea).
In his book Guns, Germs and Steel, the author Jared Diamond explains quite in details how "black" Asians (Papua, Negrito, etc.) really came from Southeastern Asia, and how their ancestors have nearly all been elimated from the asian continent (in fact, some remain, like the Pygmies from Thailand and Malaysia, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pygmy).
- 1st letter : S for Solaris, L for Linux, W for Windows, etc.
- 2nd letter : P for Production, T for Test, etc.
- After is the shortened name of the service : DNS, FTP, etc.
- And end it with some incremental numbers : 00, 01, etc.
You could have a regular TV that does 16:9 vertical compression (squeezes the square frame to make it appears rectangular, with the same number of lines, 480 that is).

At least, in Europe, you have games in languages other than English. Here in Canada, games are only in English (but sometimes the manuals are in English and French). There're 7 millions persons that speak French in Canada, that's nearly a quarter of the total population, but Nintendo considers it's not a big enough market.
So stop whining about how bad the Europe market is.
Don't forget that the author is Rob Enderle, who tends to defend Microsoft and SCO with all his heart and bitches regularly on Apple and Linux... Do a quick Google on him...
"[...] pathetic amounts of RAM, and CPU's slower than my TI-82 calculator make phones a questionable 3D platform."
The Nintendo DS portable console has adequate 3D graphics (yes adequate), even if its processor is a dual-core 66 MHz (for one core) and 33 MHz (for the other) and has 4 MB of RAM!
I showed to my 12 year old bro how I learned to program back then, I started a C-64 emulator and started typing BASIC commands like print, input, etc. He immediately liked it very much and we tried our hand at little programmes. Then he asked, what if I want to do the same on Windows?
I found a BASIC interpreter (with line numbers) for Windows and Mac called Chipmunk. Since then, my bro doesn't stop and tries a lot of things.

"Bruce Artwick left subLOGIC to found Bruce Artwick Organisation to work on subsequent Microsoft releases, beginning with Microsoft Flight Simulator 3.0 in 1988."
how would they be able to stop it? I must be missing something
What about using Open Firmware in their Intel equipped computers? What if the the kernel heavily relies on it to boot and detect hardware? That'd be tough to crack, imagine modifying the code to make Mac OS X run on a computer with a BIOS and different chipsets/architectures (i.e. PCI-X, PCIe, etc.).
From what I understand, HP is dismantling the PA-RISC processors, not HP-UX. HP-UX will continue to run on the Itanium (and maybe, I hope, future Itaniums).
It's good to see competition and interest in this domain, it means:
- More power to the Windows sysadmins
- Push the evolution of some of the apparently stagnant Unix shells
- This time see a difference between major versions of Bash (I mean I use Bash everyday and didn't see a difference between 2.x and 3.x, I mean a big difference).

"Sun, he declared [Jim Zemlin], should just move over to Linux."

In fact, Sun has already embraced Linux without very much succes, see

So it might look something like

That one is too easy : for Starbucks' patrons! Who else?
I thought you were speaking about Canada! Seriously! (Except for the Mars bars, Bud and Big Mac though.)
I'm sure we could find the same car (same model, same year) that's been used every day since the 50s in better shape! No joke.

Wii (pronounced like a long "we") is what girls say in French when they.....
Oups.
so they new they were onto a looser with PowerPC
Yes, exactly! like Microsoft (Xbox 360), Sony (PS3) and Nintendo (Revolution) are onto a looser PowerPC...
