I don't think we'll ever see more than sporadic indie releases anytime soon.
A quick look at the shelves labelled "adventure" in the local stores tells me different (and yes, I have checked that these aren't Diablo clones or somesuch, they are all point and click adventures). Granted, I have no idea how many of them don't suck but that's another issue. Perhaps they saw that Myst struck gold and now they're all making adventure games?
I think it was the fact that they completely butchered the controls on their 3d adventures that made them think adventures aren't profitable. I know I couldn't convince my mother (avid point&click adventure gamer) to play Grim Fandango simply because of the horrible controls.
Yes but realistically, who's going to buy a system over a Lucas Arts game that is not a revival of a long lost series? Because we all know they'll produce mostly mediocre games that hope to sell because of the Star Wars name on them.
By the way, the task manager is bound to CTRL-SHIFT-ESC, CTRL-ALT-DEL can give you that lock computer, logout, shutdown, etc dialogue depending on your configuration.
Adding a Linux option to the bootloader config would require development to implement it, testing to make sure it works and additional support to make sure it is kept up to date with any changes that might happen to either OS. MS took the lazy route and didn't bother.
They are saying they are using hardware for the start until software emu becomes "good enough". Knowing Sony that'd be probably as "good" as MS's current support.
Most manufacturers of such expensive items (especially ones with such small profit margins, a few bucks per console go to the retailer IIRC) have to offer buying back unsold stock before larger retailers start stocking it. After all each unsold XBox 360 would eat the profits made from a hundred sold XBox 360s.
That depends, the normal Warcraft-esque RTS surely deserves the name tactics more but something like Total Annihilation or Supreme Commander might not fit the term very well.
Depends what system you're running it on. If your system is a PC that makes little sense of course (even if you want a remote desktop that's what terminal applications are for). But imagine you were using one of those gaming systems with a web browser like the PSP, the DS or the Wii.
Local laws say 14 IIRC (weeks to "rien ne va plus" and years to age of consent;) ). I'd have to reference a table what happens when to form any oppinion on the exact date (but really, I don't feel like forming any oppinions on that) but generally the first month shouldn't be an issue.
Because they hope that saying "we're working on it" will delay the court's realization that they aren't. It worked, the courts didn't notice for over a year. Too bad for MS they decided to make the fine retroactive.
And if your creating tailored humans for specific environments you might as well make them smarter while your at it.
Not necessarily, more intelligence is expensive in terms of energy and material use so you'd need more food for smarter humans. On a world with fewer food sources you might need to cut their intelligence to lower levels to make them function optimally.
The 12 principles are based on three main areas: choice for computer manufacturers and customers, opportunities for developers, and interoperability for users
Of course many other countries implemented a system where more than one person is elected from the votes so a 40% voter group gets 40% representation instead of 100% or 0%.
Why would you register a party affiliation in first place? To make it easier for them to catch you if some fascist rises to power and outlaws all other parties (or at least the one you registered for)?

SOE is the company responsible for ruining SWG and other MMOs, I don't think you mean them?

Flamebait is about not being nice, not about being wrong.

If it has one desktop page you could direct its internal browser to that and cause an infinite loop...

Is it better to deny women "right to their body" and be wrong, or is it better to allow killing of innocent unborns and be wrong?
I like to file the latter under "can't kill what isn't alive".
Careful, self-awareness doesn't start until over a year after birth. I think you mean something else.

They are twelve ways to deny all of those?

What does that have to do with liberals? I only see socialdemocrats and conservatives there, no liberals.
1. Those are pipes.
2. Do they come with piranha plants?

Another question is: If Macs are as secure as some people claim they are, what exactly is in those virus definition files? Zeros?
So if the thrusters can deliver >1g continuously, you are going to the Moon :)
That's the problem, ion thrusters don't deliver that. They offer from 10^-12g to 10^-3g.
Eh, you're paying much more for armed forces "pacifying" some middle-eastern country than all of the space programs combined.
