What are some specific examples of the effects of Globalization on the Video and Computer Gaming Industry? I'm interested not only in things like how many games are now designed with online play in mind, but how the process of creating such games has changed.

I recently read that in 2005 three stars - KW Sagitarii, V354 Cephei, and KY Cygni were the largest stars we've yet found, each having radii at least 7 AUs (1500 x the size of the sun's). Are these still the biggest stars we've seen, is this information even remotely accurate, and if it isn't, what IS the largest star?

Here's my problem - I'm required to create a program using a simplistic form of float formating that is by the words of my professor and textbook, included in the Javax.swing class. The exact syntax used is String.format("%.2f" + floatName) which is supposed to reduce said float to output to two decimal places.

Unfortunately, my compiler (JBuilder 2005) is hellbent on not recognizing the format method. The above class has been imported in its entireity, still, it refuses to recognize the method. The syntax and importations match perfectly with the reference book, and frankly, I'm runing out of ideas and time.

How can I get this method to work, or baring that, what would be an alternative to getting my floats formated?

I'm looking to upgrade my Graphics Card from an ATI Raedon X600 to something more capable of running the type of games I spend far too much time indulging myself in. I would be very appreciative if someone could give me some advise on what I should invest in. I'm looking to spend between $125-$175.

What should I buy, where should I get it, and why?

What exactly IS the earliest known History of Atheism? Who coined the phrase "Atheist" and how did the entire movement come about?

What is the symbol §? What is it's name, use and fucntion?
