The Olympics have always been heavily commercialized; Making that a little (well ok, a lot) more exclusive doesn't really change much. Would a sponsor-free Olympics really be any better? Could it even happen?
Douglas Adams!??!?! taking stabs in the dark(!) at writing!
Of course his characters are huge jokes, that's why they're great! Have you even read the books? No? Go, now, and purify thyself -- I promise, you'll enjoy it.

...After what I've heard about Disney having the script re-written after Adams' death, I'm not exactly looking forward to this _travesty_ with his name on it.
...Don't even know what this is, or if it's real. But I already don't like it. I'm sure that if it's good, Lucas'll redo it in a few years with uber cool VR technology, and it'll suck. *sigh*
...Think of the bandwidth you could get with those pigeons, instead!

Sorry, I did not intend my earlier comment for flamebait. But I still believe that Linux is not suitable for people being introduced for the first time. With windows or macintosh, a non tech-savvy user can modify settings, install/uninstall software, and manage devices (cameras, scanners, etc) with friendly wizards. Linux, while it has made great steps in this direction, can't be as user-friendly as OS X. If these browser/shoppers could have a little training, this would be great for linux. But I think dropping machines with Linux on unsuspecting moms and families is a bad idea.
My friend has a machine from Wal-Mart, and I'm reasonably sure that he couldn't run Linux to save his life. Most Wal-Mart PC customers aren't going to be comfortable with that kind of power. After all, these are (more-or-less!) the dregs of the technology world; people so far from the bleeding-edge that...I mean, they buy PC's at Wal-Mart. The only effect this is going to have is to expand our reputation for making geek-use-only software. And, of course, boost Dell sales.

I'm gonna have to throw in my $.02 for Everaldo Coelho. I mean, who out there isn't using Crystal icons?
And, of course, everybody else at KDELook.org (yes, and Gnomelook.org)!

Wow. And it's still on the front page. I smell salmon.
...But you know, it's an easy situation to remedy!

Paper Mario looks a little different from Doom...and it's 2D graphics are part of the design, not an ugly cheat.
...I'll play anything, and wait forever. Especially if it's by Blizzard!

Would Europe really give up it's biggest advantage over American software companies?
It's a no-brainer.
...and expected a real answer? All we give is sarcasm!
On that note, who's to say that he didn't improve the picture?
...I mean, won't we all have Fritz chips soon, anyway?
" would like to create positive motivational CDs, or even recite text from study guides/trivia"...sure ya do...

If some random chatter a/s/l's it up and comes on to you, your not gonna ask whether she's a bot!
...the word "Turing"
Blame Canada!
A game about real politics! I've wanted office porn in a game for years!
First console game i've ever seen that reminded me of...
...and it gets dumped in favor of some MS-house Myst clone. Tragic.

But chocolate cream pies don't run monolithic kernels with GUI's built on GTK, baked by a thousand international (amateur) chefs.

...and thus the next wave of science fiction is born. From Cyberpunk to Dinnergunk.
