@OP: If you have a site, go into your control panel and check out your web stats. You should see a nice list of referring websites. Most general scripts can get the same info and record it to a database, where lots of nice statistics can be printed out.
It's a lot easier than it sounds.
I don't know if this is sarcasm or not, but Battlegrounds has been out for over a year. It's actually not too bad of a game, but I have a hard time accurately fighting due to the 3d-ness of it.
I also saw screens for a 3d Jazz Jackrabbit game which will probably never happen. If you want a game with a rabbit, Lugaru is cool, but we'll never have the 3d psychadellic fun of the original.
who thinks that Link's face is the only major problem with the game?
The screenshots I've seen so far look perfect--the same stuff as OoT but bigger, badder, and cooler.
I would be seriously disappointed though if Link's mouth was the big flaw in the game. The facial expressions in OoT were fine (albiet Link's expression when opening a treasure chest was awkward at best), but this game has failed miserably.
Hopefully the push to April will have been worth it!
MySQL will still be popular until most standard (cPanel/Ensim/Plesk/DirectAdmin/etc) hosts start supporting PgSQL by default. Most of them only support MySQL, and if someone is going to write a script, chances are it will be written for the majority.
I mean, it's no excuse not to write a decent database abstraction layer, but regardless.
For old systems, http://kmeleon.sf.net/ is your best bet. Granted, it's Windows-only, but it has a Gecko base and is insanely fast.

If they can use a Word Processor, chances are they'll do fine.
Honestly, what more do you need to know to run a computer? Someone working at Target *grin* isn't going to have to be able to argue whether Internet Explorer's CSS2 rendering is bad or not.
I think cloning dogs is a stepping stone to cloning humans, and my main guess for human cloning is to increase the availability of spare organs.
However, how do you clone a human and grow organs suitable for a forty-year-old male? On top of that, how can it be done quickly?
Cloning a human, growing them for twenty years, then knocking them out and stealing their organs to cure someone who had a disease twenty five years ago is completely useless.
(Unless the person was a good-looking female.)
After reading the comment about how someone was booted from AdSense unjustly, Yahoo will have the upper hand. ANYONE who has been booted or denied by Google, or just plain doesn't like them, will instantly go to Yahoo.
However, will there be sites with Google on the left and Yahoo on the right?
..almost every web host supports it. I'd say 99% of hosts that market to online audiences support PHP/MySQL.
How many of them support Python/PgSQL, for example?
None. That's why PHP is popular--if you code in anything that isn't PHP, most people on LAMP won't be able to use it. People not being able to use it = people not buying it. Which is bad.
People can buy a $400 Dell box with a 15" LCD and printer. To them, it's free.
You're right about the cross-platform solutions, it's just that most people have no reason to change. If your computer to you was no more than a typewriter, valued about the same as your toaster, and said "here, for $50, you can get an OS identical to Windows, but is better.. all you need to do is buy and install it, and the import your settings.. etc etc" would you do it?
I doubt it.
a) Windows comes free with most new PCs.
b) Windows runs software that people use. (Going from AIM to GAIM could be a big step for some people. Or from MSWord to AbiWord.)
If Linspire looks like Windows, why would anyone switch?
I understand the philosophy behind an easy transition, but "if it ain't broke (that much) don't fix it."
Linux, IMHO, needs to offer something unique, rather than trying to mimic what already exists.
Once prices go down, I can see more people networking. Family of four buys a server with a few 200GB hdds, then gives each person a $200 small form factor PC with an LCD, keyboard, and mouse. Instead of replacing four PCs, you only replace one, and your data is still intact providing you have a low-level NAS.
Single people could just have the terminal and connect to their local pc equivalent of a bank. It would be much more resource efficient, and most people would rather pay $25/mo than own their own PC.
Having a server for a single person will most likely be for those of us who do PC work for a living, or just have higher needs.
Media centers will probably also end PC usage for many people, though they would need an outlet for word processing.

I also fail to see how Apple is a monopoly by making proprietary software. Does my MP3 player have a monopoly because I can't use their software on another player?
Apple's a hardware vendor.
They make nice-looking computers, put their OS on there, and what do you know--it works. And when you add another one of their products, you may find it hard to believe, but it again, works.
Apple isn't selling an OS to put on any computer, they're selling a complete system that works.
How is that a monopoly?
Rather than just saying "you hacked government computers, that's illegal, off to jail," they're charging him for close to a million dollars of damage on machines which should have been secured from the first place?
I'm glad to know my tax dollars are supporting cracking down on the real criminals.

it's still cheaper and faster to buy a harddrive, and pay someone twenty bucks to install it.
