https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baumol_effect

> the tendency for wages in jobs that have experienced little or no increase in labor productivity to rise in response to rising wages in other jobs that did experience high productivity growth. In turn, these sectors of the economy become more expensive over time, because their input costs increase while productivity does not. Typically, this affects services more than manufactured goods, and in particular health, education, arts and culture.

Isn't that the difference between God and Simon O'Rourke?

Or is this a Larry Ellison joke?

(The difference between God and LE is that God doesn't think he's LE)

This should perfectly complement Bic for Her ball pens. Check out the reviews on Amazon:

Excerpts:

"My husband has never allowed me to write, as he doesn't want me touching mens pens."

"I bought it for all my female friends and relatives. It enabled them, finally, to write things (although they may not yet know to do so on paper; but you can only expect so much, really)."

No screenshots? ;p

Also - IMNSHO the obvious name for this project is Zoom - but that's been taken by a similar game where you slay your coworkers by talking too much.

The next obvious candidate therefore is Dork :)

Mitr in Hindi means friend.

Mazanav sounds like "majha naav", which means "my name" in Marathi, the language spoken in Mumbai (which is where the translator seems to live / have lived).

So, in summary - my name is the friend. Hello Mitr!

I spent countless hours playing the DF2 demo that came on one of the computer magazine CDs in India (PC Quest I think). My favourite FPS by a long shot :)

Here's a steam guide to upgrade to a fan made engine and really improve the graphics:

Think it should work on the GOG version too.

Now adjust for the fact that these are all ex astronauts, so will probably be fitter than the average 88 year old? Is there data for life expectancy given astronaut?
