See, you're partially on to something. For all his chairs, Ballmer is *sneaky*. We're still bashing Vista as their technical offering, but MS got to where it is by some clever business deals. Way back in the day John Sculley torched Apple when MS pulled a fast one on them.
Anand just won the final step of the total unification of the world chess championship, and Slashdot couldn't be bothered to report it. I USED to think chess was at least slightly Stuff That Mattered.

How Do Games Grow Up?

The Victorians mailed in a letter. They want their parlor room piano back.
If I understand you properly, you are saying that the skill of "Piano" carries more value long term than any particular game which now has a short lifespan.
Thing is, "Piano" playing itself is already starting to be passed by, except for the modern ofshoot of playing Keyboard in a small band. Then the grownup game is arguing with band members with "creative differences".
You can be "competent to commit fraud" if you know "this is a bad thing but it is fun". You could be completely out in the post-twilight zone in other respects.
I don't know how trained this guy really is given the quality of his motion, so this might really work.
Write a specialized ChatterLaw bot that carefully signals to real justices that what it produces is not meant to stand as real law. ("Pursuant to 163 Sec. 242 P3..." which means "Ignore everything below this sentence.")
Then it can just randomly shuffle prior legal opinions into glorious Walls O' Law. Then bill it as a service which costs less than an actual proceding, and file it under Placebo Effect.
Things will absolutely change. So the good news, is "you're wrong, just as you hoped".
The first category of changes he will make will be Holding The Line rather than making things worse. This is the easiest to slide by politcally without getting irrational interest groups riled.
Then he'll chip away at some truly ridiculous things, quietly. He has to be effective yet under the flashpoint. He has to let the temporal time pass so we all can realize how duped we were, and how truly awful the Bush Disaster really was.
About a year in, maybe more, maybe less, look for a couple of signature policies.
We're shellshocked right now, and he actually tapped that to win like he deserves. Expect a round of really ugly trolling about the 2-4 month mark, maybe more. We have an absolutely DEVASTATING undercurrent of civil rights to solve. During the campaign race was a "campaign issue". Now that he is President, there's some really ugly fallout on the way.
I disagree, though it took me a minute to formulate the counter-reason.
No one is going to attempt to run Pixar graphics on this. The point is a form of "Limited Time Machine" in which we can return to portions of the past (here, the language) but abuse modern hardware to get sickening speed increases. Then we just drift back in our memories a little about that program we wrote Back In The Day, but now it eats Crays for breakfast.
As for SID tunes, yea, that hardware implementation has passed its prime, but enter Overclocked Remix. It's the musical ideas of those guys that count, and now they can freshen them up into the best kind of Old-Meets-New mashup. That site still makes a quarter of my work music. http://www.ocremix.org/
Being less talented than your average/.er, Commodore *64* basic reduced me to whimpers at that tender age. I pulled out all the stops and mortgaged my childhood in chores to upgrade to the Commodore 128, and that is basically the best value in an upgrade I'll ever see. Helped by the extra passage of years, on the 128 I made maze programs, a Dodge-The-Mall-Traffic Simulator as a joke, Ethnic dialects of Eliza including the Angry New Yorker, and a few quasi-utilities that were more basic concept exercises. Then I sold it to my neighbor for $100 of munchie cash, thus learning about Exiting the Market.
Sure! It's the "English" of 80's Comps. All the way from Oxford King's English to the highly creative mashups like the imported workers in my area speak.
Version 2 might have to. Poke & his little brother Peek were the Bastard Twins of Commodore Basic. The Commodore 128 took some steps into making a usable Basic, but the '64 was completely unusable without them.

Good. We need more of those on the consumers' side. And maybe a gamer or two. We're all kinda saying that their crusade has to fall, but we haven't seen the shut-down proof yet. Something irrefutable and easy.
Kinda like: (RIAA vs. Joseph Helviticus Schmoe, Esq.) Counsel for the defense: "Your honor, so we established these penalties per infringement, right?" "Yes" "Okay, So the 3,828 400 GB hard drives from Plaintiff which each have 27,000 infringing are in violation, right? Please ask Plaintiff to pay first. Now, seven seconds later, please begin bankrupty proceedings."::Crickets::
You're being funny, but I am slowly building a little page for my eternally-PreAlpha site that charts all three-five steps of the lifecycle of various announcements. Each time we try to be future-looking and says "E-E-E was all in the past", only to see fresh examples. OOXML was the one that really slammed home for me.

Yeah, what about all those Dion/Dionne pairs? (Male/Female).
However, 70% of names with "sh" in the last syllable and 4 vowels are female. (Laetisha, I'm lookin' at you honey!)
Is that what the Mayans forsaw, the event which caused the end of this round of civilization?

There is. Anything over 5 sentences.
