Looks like you were reading the comments for the wrong Slashdot news item, buuuuuuuuuddy.
While you're here, why don't I discuss the rest of the plot.
Niko contracts a deadly virus on the boat from his home country, and you have to complete the game before he dies. Everybody that you meet gets infected, and you have to cure them using the limited cures that are available (that don't work on Niko for some reason). If you don't cure Niko before the 33rd day, he turns into a 60ft mecha and you have to complete a secret boss battle against the Tower of Happiness. If you win, the game restarts a bit like Majora's Mask except you keep all the magic you've acquired so far. (GTA IV has magic coming out of its EARS, man.)
I would fall off my seat in fits of laughter if somebody claimed to be the press officer of MAVAV, and managed to negotiate a real alliance between MADD and MAVAV. Just seeing MAVAV mentioned in official MADD releases would be hilarious.
Who's this Don of the Dialogs, and why doesn't he want me to do stuff easily?
I've just measured the Windows XP screen resolution dialog under the XP 'blue' theme, and it comes in at just over 400 pixels. If you set the resolution to the one used in this example, you wouldn't be able to click OK or Cancel. However, I'm pretty sure that XP doesn't let you go before 640 x 480 unless you're running an odd embedded systems graphics driver.
She would have failed that test under Windows, but only up to about Windows 98.

They still remove the SMTV Live: Wonkey Donkey videos, the Kuricorder Quartet videos and the Angry Video Game Nerd though, don't they.
CURSE THEM ALL.
It sure as hell beats phbricked.
For shame.
Well, if Microsoft wants to research 'Computers', they're going to need:
Electronics, Electricity, Metallurgy, Magnetism, Gunpowder, Physics, Invention, University, Navigation, Engineering, Philosophy, Astronomy, Construction, Literacy, Mathematics, Mysticism, Currency, Iron Working, Code of Laws, Writing, Map Making, The Wheel, Masonry, Ceremonial Burial, Bronze Working and Alphabet.
And they're one step closer to victory by space launch.
Plus degrees are expensive.
Sounds a bit like the PYRAMID from Spycraft: The Great Game.
A little motory gadget thingy. In the meantime, get yourself some Autostitch.
Very few?
Please tell me that out of you and your co-workers, you're the one who thinks it's Alan Rickman.
Supernatural language!
"Major fracture detected. Morphine administered."
"Bloodloss detected. Seek immediate medical attention."
"User death imminent."
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP
When did £50 not become major?
Even more to the point, England should look to England's failed example and refuse to follow it.
It's over nine thousaaaaaaaaaand!
*coat*
It's not really a window, I just call it that. It's really just a differently coloured patch of wall.
At least, I think it's a different colour. The light isn't very good in here.
Some of us don't even have a door, you insensitive clod!
My office is a sealed room with no doors and a single tiny unbreakable window.
The answer is: Yes, they do!
Well, that was fun.

Plus you spent most of your time drunk.
All that's left now is to find somebody who looks like Robert Downey Jr. in real life.

Niko's phone is disabled for the majority of your drunken time, but you can still hammer the 'hail cab' button.
Remember that the campaign is Mothers Against Drunk Driving. You've seen a school run, I take it?
Yep. When you go drinking ingame, you're usually accompanied by another character. And they will almost always dissuade you from drink driving.
Even Roman, Niko's lazy drunkard cousin, says "If you drink and drive, you're an idiot."
('course... Roman does turn up drunk during the intro sequence, but hey.)
