Not really counter to your argument, but Song of the South was released outside the US, at least in the VHS days. I remember a promo for it on my Aladdin or Lion King tape bought in the UK when I was but a wee boy :)

I'm currently in Beijing and yeah, Google always works less than optimal when you go to .com and even .hk, but I found that google.co.uk works better (and works today.) My VPN (that I set up on a VPS in Tokyo) stopped working yesterday though :(

I struggle to see what part of a comp sci degree would require Windows. I went through mine with only a Linux laptop without any issues. Even if your university is a C# trojan, mono likely will be sufficient.

The advantage you have with something like BBC, which might not be so obvious, is that when it doesn't rely on ads, you, not the advertisers become the customer. That allows for the possibility of a much broader appeal in programs and importantly (if done right) and independent media that does not have to worry about advertisers opinions, or what market segments a particular program should fit into to maximize profit.

I know you're trolling, but if they make their own Steambox based on Linux but also support the standard Linux Desktops, I can not see anyone object. If their Linux effort on the other hand becomes limited to a closed console, although based on Linux, there will be a lot of disappointment out there, and rightly so.

There is certainly a lot to hate in the current market of locked down systems and no privacy. The point is that Windows Phone is not helping, so why should I be using it? It does not have the cool factor (yeah I know) that Apple does, nor the geeky fiddle with it mentality of Android. Thus it positions it self as a phone that doesn't real appeal to any specific segment, except perhaps corporate.

If you not on a battery device, you're not longer the target group. Suck it up dinosaur; the future is using your Windows(tm) tablet while skydiving so you can tweet about it and update your Facebook status.

To me it seems their favourite was Windows 1.0...

They need to smack some DRM on those nets so those brown people will use them as god intended!

Worth noting that this revived the stale port of AGS for Linux.

Another Kickstarter... I thought I was kinda burned out one these, but I really want to see this one happening. Space Quest were some of my favourite games when I was a kid...
