I don't really agree with this post. If you are interested in the technical details then go ahead and write an engine. I'm sure it's fun. But it's not really necessary if you want to make games. You can learn a lot by using a game engine. I think it's just a different thing, writing a game engine and writing a game. So if you are interested in GAME programming, then I'd go with one of the open source engines. Making a game that way is hard enough.
Ogre has nice Python bindings, which makes it well suited for beginners. See here: http://www.ogre3d.org/wiki/index.php/PyOgre. Also it's lgpl, which makes it very free to use.
Microsoft is only defending you if someone sues you over using Windows CE. Only patent problems in the Microsoft software that you license are covered, not some patent the device manufacturer infringes. Think Linus paying everyone SCO is sueing.
Well, in the first dupe you have all the people pointing out it's a dupe. In the second dupe, you have dupes of these comments and also new comments pointing out it's a dupe. It grows exponentially, I'd say.
When did Google start asking for your age along with your query? How are they going to tie queries to ages?
That's the whole point. All of the queries could have been made by children. If there was some kind of age-authentification, there would be no problem.

Don't anthromorphise computers. They don't like it.
Why, oh why didn't they call it iQ?
In this talk, http://seminars.moose.cc/salt-0200403-schweickart/ salt-0200403-schweickart.mp3 former astronaut Rusty Schweickart elaborates on the asteroid threat over the next 100,000 years. It's very interesting. Also available in ogg http://seminars.moose.cc/salt-0200403-schweickart/ salt-0200403-schweickart.ogg.

A lot of Japanese games are very good. But sometimes they are a little - strange. Take a look at this http://www.invertedcastle.com/archives/2005/12/01/ the-japanese-game-to-end-all-japanese-games/
But don't fear, because, you know, "microsoft" "is comfort".
Did you know that "Steve Ballmer" is an anagram for "Tremble, slave!". This explains a lot :)
"Bill Gates" is an anagram for "libel stag". Hope that helps :)
