All those video game music files are sequences (similar to MIDI files). An entire soundtrack (PSX) is usually as small as 10MB. Converting it to WAV would be a ridiculous waste of space.
Then there's the added PR benefit of hiring Americans rather than Indians. Of course, it still doesn't help Americans who are worth a damn, but it's all about the PR...
When a new carbon copy "artist" becomes the new fad every year, and old ones are forgotten, you don't see people developing an affinity for them as they do for a company like Nintendo, who has been a large part of many people's lives from cradle to... suit.
I'm part of this generation. The music sucks, get over it.

Or maybe cowardice - I guess a Swiss will now reply angrily.
Says the Anonymous Coward... Seriously, what do the Swiss have to hide from? Nothing, because they are neutral. Not giving a shit about the pointless scuffles that break out between bigger countries doesn't make you a coward. I'm American.

Er, America isn't the only country that makes this a possibility nowadays, actually. Maybe 200 years ago... Maybe you could come up with a slightly more
thoughtful rebuttal?
"looked like a bunch of dry humping culminating in Jackson getting her top ripped off"
And so... kids might immitate that. In the name of our sweet Christian Lord, this sounds like a serious threat to their well-being.
As far as I can tell (I didn't read the whole thing because it's too long, and a waste of time) this describes female pharaohs. Wow. You may recall that although England has had kingless queens, the status of women didn't change much under their rule, with the last century being the exception.
Uh... but "Tatooine being a nominally Hutt controlled planet" is something that was probably made up by third-party Star Wars authors, and Lucas therefore wouldn't give a shit.
My god it's ugly. Not only is the bright red unspeakably awful, but with those USB ports it looks like my Gamecube, albeit tacky (more so). Insufferable.

I think "3PO being made by Anakin" was just a crappy gimmick thrown in by Lucas that messes up continuity with the "3rd party" Star Wars Universe. Besides, even if he had his memory wiped at the end of Episode 3, he would still have a good twenty years to develop a personality before Episode 4 starts.

But unlike R2-D2 and C-3PO, most droids had their memories routinely wiped, making them unable to develop a personality or real awareness.

based on nothing more than population numbers.
You probably shouldn't base it on nothing more than population numbers. How about birth control usage?
Firefox is currently ripping IE a new one, and that's a good thing. From what I've heard of the Windows version, it's as good as the Linux version.
Actually, the Windows version is better. I've always found the Linux version to be rather sluggish in comparison.

I think most "Unix guys", which pound for pound (person for person) refers to "Linux guys", use a GUI nowadays.

Didn't work for me. At all. Probably because THE SERVER IS GETTING HAMMERED. Idiot.

Hey, good job. You're a sleazy, dishonest, lying son of a bitch.

It would be a very neat idea, if Christmas (and any other holiday) displays weren't FUCKING LAME-ASS OBNOXIOUSNESS. See?

When I used 5.1, it seems as though prebuilt packages weren't updated till 5.2 was released...
In my experience prebuilt packages tend to be out of date.
I don't get these "jokes". What kind of machine and/or bandwidth would you need to handle ~100,000 simultaneous connections, anyway?
Crowd pleaser. (I didn't mean that as a compliment)
