It was created by Mark Sibley, (who also created the venerable blitzbasic for the Amiga over 15 years ago). It's very simple to learn, is available for Windows, Linux, and OsX, and has something of a cult following.
Fret not my good man... I'm sure there'll be a PassMe 3:) I've actually waited on getting a DS until they made it smaller. (I'm a size queen) I just didn't think it would be this quick.
Even though they are.8 GB smaller than the UMD, their rewriteability would have made the PSP a truly revolutionary media device. HI-MD audio players have incredibly long battery life for a non-solid state player. Using the h.264 video format, they could still have released very high quality movies. If they thought the UMD was going to prevent piracy, well, we all know how well that turned out.
Igniting the atmosphere was also not realistic. Scientists knew of far more energetic events in recent history (e.g. Tunguska)
No one has yet to come up with conclusive evidence as to what caused the Tunguska event. I've heard everything from Tesla's Death-Ray, to a comet. But I agree. I think the explosive nature of Earth's atmosphere went away with the Carboniferous Epoch.
Yeah, I never understood that. I though the show had been canceled a year before it actually was. I only rediscovered the show was still running just in time to catch the very last episode. (sigh)
True AI has been around for years. See the ELIZA comment above. Artificial Intelligence is just that. Artificial. It's an illusion. The true Holy Grail that they are looking for is Synthetic Intelligence. Which, even though is a manufactured intelligence, is still true intelligence.

A very underrated development environment is BlitzMax http://www.blitzbasic.com/

Honestly, are there still computer users out there...even regular users...who don't know this is a bad idea by now???
I'm guessing about 300,000 of them.
I'd bet the new one will block PassMe 2.

Sony were fools to opt for UMD instead of the HI-MD format. http://www.minidisc.org/hi-md_faq.html

My first exposure to gaming magazines was Nintendo Power and Sega Visions when they first came out.

I'm so old
My first game reviews came from Compute! Magazine. http://www.atarimagazines.com/compute/
"The Fifth Element"
Strangely enough, the first DVD I ever purchased. Milla Jovovich in Hi Def? I'm gay, and I still know that girl's hot!
Nevermind that '9x and NT are completely different code bases, but hey, keep talking like you know what you're talking about - after all, this is /.
and yet, we still masturbate...
wait... what was the topic again?
Bwah-hah-hah-ha-ha!

The examples given are from different companies and design teams, so it's hard to generalize them.
I agree, but all generalizing is wrong.
I think Lindows is the most baffling name of all time.
And you know this how, exactly?
I'm his secret gay lover.
Steve Jobs doesn't know a single thing about programming.
Yes he does, he just hasn't done it for quite a while.
Oh please. Steve Jobs couldn't code his way out of a wet paper bag.
That would be wonderfull! I hear they were delicious.
I think I just soiled myself :)
It is pretty amazing considering we can't even find Jimmy Hoffa on our OWN planet.
It is sad. I seem to recall Batman and Robin having nipples. Now that was distracting.
...will dole out $1.5 million annually over five years
That'll barely cover the Jolt Cola costs.
I agree. If they're going to do the me too thing, I wish they'd hurry up and finish the Google Calendar.
Well, I want monkeys to fly out of my ass
I thought I had strange hobbies.
