I'm with you, SMB2 and Zelda 2 were a couple of great games, IMO. It's also a real testament to the quality of Doki Doki Panic that Nintendo thought the game was good enough to bare the name "Mario."
I wonder if such a thing could happen these days? Would Nintendo ever give the reigns of one of its star franchises to a developer with great ideas?
You know what's funny? On Nokia phones, if you use the type-ahead feature when texting, where it guesses what word you are typing, if you try to type in "fuck" it spells out "dual." Rather than fix it, I just leave it in as a joke. The joke has evolved to texting "wtd" for "what the dual" instead of "wtf." Which is why I was kind of shocked to see "WTD" in parent.:)

Oxygen and hydrogen, combusting in your living room? Is anyone else reminded of that Simpsons episode, in which Homer and Burns are hurtling down a mountain in that cabin, and homer says "Oh lord, bless this rocket house and all who dwell within the rocket house."
Cryptic failure code? I have always admired python for its verbose failure messages, which usually include a traceback... not sure what you mean by cryptic failure code...

Your mama's so old, she heard the first big bang and said "Turn the TV down!"

Car owners are suckers, too. They keep paying for gas for a device they already own.
It's too bad this chat transcript was not linked in the story, because it covers a lot of the more common questions.
One of my favorite episodes. The sound it makes is so unlike an explosion.

You had me at "zero-point-energy scam."
I must be an idiot, I can't find that option in NeoOffice/J anywhere?
the first GIMP
I think you meant, the first WIMP.
I can't picture anyone reading all of this.
Do you have a link for this? It sounds interesting.
Your grammar is impeccable, and the way you balance all of your parentheses is equally commendable.
Once again, the brilliant slashdot editors show their skills in explaining clearly what the fuck the article is about.

Man, I would kill for an ice cold glass of crystal pepsi right now. I wonder how well it keeps, there's more than a few bottles on ebay.
