I should probably note that the thread was made by the guy who is doing the restoration work, and he created the website in TFS and has a load of cool pictures and stuff.

The Manos find was documented on the Something Awful forums, here is a link to the original thread if anyone is interested, it is an interested work. May be NSFW. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3450845

That's funny, people in Labour say that it works for the Conservatives. Funny how that works huh?

This has been showing on Channel 4 in the UK for a while now, I really recommend giving it a watch. Some pretty good episodes of Hawking's tv show, with lots of scientists hosting various sections.

Do you have any proof of this disillusionment? I would be interested to read it. I have heard otherwise in that he remained a communist yet was obviously disillusioned by the betrayals done to the workers through things like the Ribbentrop Pact and Stalinism in general and the problems around revolution in general.

Nonsense, Orwell himself was a communist. It was a message against supreme nationalism espoused by conservatives at the time.

Here is the co-author condeming the very article you are linking to! http://judithcurry.com/2011/10/30/mail-on-best/#more-5526

Portal 2 has split-screen support on the PC (http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1847904), don't know about CoD.

You should be able to get a no-cd crack easily enough. I hope I'm not telling you something too simple that you are already aware of, but just in case, I think it is viable, but do not know the legality. On the other hand, you could rip the CD on a separate computer and mount the ISO, though that might be heavy for a netbook to do this and also play at the same time.

Also I like sites like GoG.com which sell old games with no DRM, but that might not be such a consolation if you already own the agmes and do not want to repurchase.

Games companies chose to do and have steadily eroded the ability to have a player run dedicated server. They opted to pay these costs, no-one made them do it.

As someone who has just completed the first year of a physics degree, I wonder if it is worth me going on to do a masters. The place I'm at run an MPhys which can be chosen to embark upon at the end of the second year, for a total of four years instead of the three for BSc (Hons) which can also be chosen. I just don't know if it is worth it for the future.

Does The Matrix count as Sci-Fi? There seems to have been a re-emergence of fantasy recently, also, action movies. Statham, Vin Diesel, Matt Damon off the top of my head.

Was Captain America a kind of light science fiction when it was written?

To me Breath of Death VII seems more like the old Dragon Warrior NES games in its graphical style, both in and out of battle.

Dracula?

I for one cheered when I heard this. A horrid, awful, sensationalist piece of crap 'news'paper. Excellent! Good riddance to bad rubbish!
