Seriously though, Xplane is out for Linux, as are many of id software's offerings. Many Windows games will run on Linux via cedega, often with better performance than when running natively on Windows. What's the problem?
The problem is most people are too lazy to bother spending much, much more time trying to get something to work on Linux when you can wack a CD in a drive and have a game going in 5-10 minutes, with no messing about with configurations or other silliness.
I can honestly tell you now that the startmenu is far superior. And the windows key is one of the most useful buttons on my keyboard (But then again, I'm lazy).
The shared bar between applications on MacOS still infuriates me
This sounds almost like a derivative of a tech-tree to form a quest tree. I think its a brilliant idea, just two problems. A) You've got millions of players, how do you give them all something to do? B) If, for instance the lost boy in your example is actually being held by the grand high superwizzard in some massive long quest, how are you going to be able to reward the player for what could be 20+ hours of questing when returning to the mother? What's she going to give, three copper coins?
I see the luminiferous Aether is one of the main causes of cancer causing radiation. We should immediatly force the government to remove this material from all public places, and inform everyone of its danger! Wont someone PLEASE think of the children!
Well, I'm not exactly sure why you would want to bend the path around, but the electromagnet is made from a superconductor. A superconductor will allow massive currents to be carried with no electrical resistance, but unfortunatly must be kept under a specific temperature to retain its superconducting properties. Because the superconductor can carry massive amounts of current with little resistance, a strong magnetic field can be created (As the strength of the electromagnet is dependant on the current being used.).
Have a look at the wiki article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superconductor
There are high temperature superconductors, so you CAN use Liquid Nitrogen to cool them properly, thus making the process cheaper and a lot easier (since liquid nitrogen is easier to work with). I even remember my teacher running down the street to get a bit of liquid nitrogen for a quick demonstration (With a little superconductor). From Wiki, as I am lazy:
"Until 1986, physicists had believed that BCS theory forbade superconductivity at temperatures above about 30 K. In that year, Bednorz and Müller discovered superconductivity in a lanthanum-based cuprate perovskite material, which had a transition temperature of 35 K (Nobel Prize in Physics, 1987). It was shortly found by Paul C. W. Chu of the University of Houston and M.K. Wu at the University of Alabama in Huntsville [1] that replacing the lanthanum with yttrium, i.e. making YBCO, raised the critical temperature to 92 K, which was important because liquid nitrogen could then be used as a refrigerant (at atmospheric pressure, the boiling point of nitrogen is 77 K.) This is important commercially because liquid nitrogen can be produced cheaply on-site with no raw materials, and is not prone to some of the problems (solid air plugs, etc) of helium in piping. Many other cuprate superconductors have since been discovered, and the theory of superconductivity in these materials is one of the major outstanding challenges of theoretical condensed matter physics."
We have reactors at Lucas Heights (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HIFAR), but that's not actually used to generate power but to produce some needed isotopes. Unfortunatly, despite the geological stability of Australia (Which makes it great for long term storage of nuclear wastes), there's probably no chance of a decent long term storage facility in the near future.
Steve Irwin, yes did a lot for the environment and sure helped the tourism industry, but he's no hero, and unfortunatly is being deified in his death much like Diana was. However, thankfully, most people who will get up in a stir over anything 'offensive' about his death will most likely be termed 'wankers' and ignored.
I think you're forgetting the principle that a citizen should have the right of whether to join or not join a particular political group (ie. Student Unions)

Doesn't do much else either :p
Bragging rights of course.

I thought they'd already incorporated high temperature superconductors into MRI's.
