Many of those languages listed are more like phrases or contractions at best. Both the French and Portuguese could be translated as "after tomorrow" or "succeeding tomorrow".
Was it run anywhere outside of mainframes and a few colleges back then? Was it playable if you didn't have a mainframe? While people may know of Netrek, in the late 80's and early 90's I doubt anyone outside of a handful of college campuses had knowledge of its existence, and more important the capability of playing it.
I'm sorry, but aluminum is not cheap. Maybe cheaper than the same weight (and may times size) of stainless, copper, bronze, and high nickel or magnesium alloys, but not cheap. I imagine the point of aluminum is due to its decent conductivity, rigidness, and corrosive resistance.
Really? Doom came out in 1993, Warcraft II in 1995. What games were there between or before those that featured it? What games that people might of actually heard of? Outside of the BBS world, I am stumped.
If you do it right you should be able to have an insane uptime, and not have to administer it. It would say there will be about a month of tinkering and tweaking, then after that you should be able to let it chug away and only have to remember to turn it back on after a power-outage.
WTF? Comparing bread and meat by weight? Duh. Compare them by serving, of course buying buy weight you get more bang for your buck, but how many servings/meals does that weight give you - in the end you still pay more because you have to buy more meals.
The key is you have a large family. I currently cook for large events (30-200+ people) and can tell you that cooking healthy and cheap for large groups is a lot easier than cooking for one (buying in bulk saves a lot of money). Refrigeration and freezers combined with sealed containers help, but are not possible on all food types (look at the aforementioned tomato example - it will last longer in the refrigerator but will still spoil and can't be frozen). Vacuum sealers are currently out of my price range, but is a help to those that can afford it. But tying to create a plan for one person to eat healthy and cheaply without having to visit the store every day is a great challenge.
I'm getting pretty sick of the trend of buying a physical product and being limited in what I'm allowed to do with it.
I'm sorry, but you can do anything you want to with the Wii. It just might not work as advertised afterwards. Just like how you can modify your car any way you want, but you might not be able to take it on public roads afterwards. If the update was somehow forced, than I would understand, but as it is the upgrade is optional and even warns you that it will break certain savegames.
Americans do complain about American primary schools, but generalizations do not help at all, and are off topic. Some public schools are very bad, and this is a problem, others are very good. Some private schools are bad, but they usually go out of business, while most are above par. I have no idea why one would move to another country on this one issue when there are so many options within a single state, let alone the other 49 and various territories.
I don't know how you got modded up. Sure, America has a whole lot of crappy public school educators, but we also have some of the best minds in the world at our universities and colleges and some amazing private and boarding schools. Please mods, stop modding up national elitism (different from patriotism and cultural elitism - not that those are better), it is just another form of trolling.
This is just the alpha, they are only testing the pursuit part. Once they move the the beta then they will start testing the killing part (they are waiting for whale hunting moratorium to be lifted).
Well, they get along better with one another than they do with us.
Did you miss that whole thing where Iraq invaded Kuwait? Have you been paying attention to Jordan and Syria? More recently there has been the dispute between Fatah al-Islam and Lebanon. While in Northern Africa, Libya and Egypt have had recent conflict. I don't think a Muslim president would help at all. An ant-Israel president would help, but I would be very against that and highly doubt one could get elected.
Notice how every Mac comes with a gigabyte of RAM. In my experience giving a Mac more memory always increases performance, even if Activity Monitor says you aren't fully using the RAM you had before upgrading.
It works far better as an embedded OS that Windows does as a Desktop OS
Seriously? I mean, have you used a Windows Mobile device? I have one I use every day, and I have had to reboot it about as often as Windows 95. One of the (many) reasons I will be picking up an iPhone this July.
Notice now you have to buy it in a store (not online), and have to get a two year contract. What good is jailbreaking when you still have to pay AT&T for two years?
Notice not you have to buy the phone from Apple or AT&T stores (not the Apple website), and in the fine print is states "with a two year contract". No more buying an iPhone and not activating it, that is where the cheaper price comes from. Since iPods won't be subsidized by AT&T I highly doubt the price will change unless the price for Apple to manufacture them drastically decreases.

Why would AIM put work into a Mac client when iChat uses the AIM protocol?

There not that old, but they were among the first batch to have network play - I can't think of any before those that supported in-game messaging.
I'm sure if you let the GNU guys know they will make a recursive acronym inside of another recursive acronym.

Couldn't you do a low heat/low power CPU that doesn't need active cooling, RAM, and a USB thumb-drive to boot off of?

Sorry, might be an inside joke in Mac user forums, but I think there is enough crossover on

You must not live in a northern climate. In my area if you have water in your tank in the Winter you are screwed (unless you park in a heated garage).

I don't that will be the case anymore, as now you have to buy it from a brick and mortar store (can't get it from the Apple web store).

How is that any less racist?
