You know what just sprang to my mind? That ending scene of Merlin, were everyone is turning their backs towards Mab and just forgetting her. Maybe we should do the same with Gnome...it was fun while it lasted, but maybe we (everyone who does not wish to use it or is alienated either by the design, ideas or the developers) should just turn around and walk away, just forget it.

So, we're three (or was it two?) years in, after four major releases, at version 3.8 and the Gnome devs said that they pretty much do not care about the API (I think the quote was something like this: "The API is not stable, it keeps changing with every release!" - "We never said it would be stable...") ... so, when do you expect that stability of the API?

Oh my dear how dare you! The window manager of Windows might actually become useful!

If I remember the bluescreen of Windows 8 right, it is "Your PC (not us) did something wrong and we can't explain what happened so we're just giving up".

Link?

You don't see Chell in the ending of Portal 2 (neither in Portal 1). If you want to see her in game, you have to look through portals, like in Half-Life, no cutscene and no cinematic leaves the ego-perspective.

Or Jade Empire, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Star Trek: Elite Force (unfortunately only the first part).

Do RPGs and similar which come with a character creator count? Like Neverwinter Nights, Drakensang and so on?

citation needed.

So you have source which explicitly states that it was a drone from the U.S. Airforce/Navy/Army?

As far as I know, Space is not directly cold, it's a vacuum. So there is nothing that pipe could give the heat off to except via heat radiation...you might don't want to wait that long. To be perfectly honest, I'm very sure that was considered and was abandoned because of problems we (mortals) don't know about (and I'm to lazy to search for).

Here in Vienna there was an incident were a man flew kites in the approach line of the Vienna Airport (in German)...at 2200 ft (700m). No need to mention, the flight controllers were not happy. I think it is safe to assume that there are people stupid enough to do that.

You must be lamest troll on the planet, seriously our are.

Because people will start abusing the hell out of it.

You forgot: "It will snow in winter." At least here in Europe it is a serious, unpredictable problem which surprises the people every year.
