Re: OT why do the Brits pronounce router like its spelled?
A "rooter" is a thing that sends TCP packets hither and yon.
A "rowter" is a thing you use in woodworking.
A "rowt" happened at Waterloo.
As usual, it's not why *we* pronounce something the way we do - that is, after all, the correct pronunciation by default.
The question is, why do the Americans pronounce it wrongly?

[cackle] - Yup.
Route 66 (famous dead Murican hiway) - it Should be a 'rooter'.
router - yep, a thingie for making woodchips of a perfectly nice piece of wood.
rout - what happened to US in Vietnam (though we killed a Lot more of them while we were being ousted)
Arrgggghhh - then we have bow (both ways), bough, boffing (swords)
Gotta find the link I have somewhere, allegedly a kinda final exam for wannabe diplomats: a one-page compilation of all the above type homonyms and idioms and the other stuff that drives English-as-a-Second Language folks batty. Then the spelling.. NIFE as knife !?!
But NITE as night | knight
Nope, Give Me a Break doesn't work re English or Murican ranguage.

Re: Gotta link?
Wait till it's done :)
But think of the English countryside, bathed in late dusk light - 10000 years ago.
I working on a supernova simulation. Seen from Earth :)

Cold. Dark.
10000 years ago, the English countryside was under a kilometre or two of ice.
I shall have to borrow a digital camera and take some snaps of the farm where I'm helping restore a 19thC water turbine. It'll make you sick to realise that it's only 5 minutes from my house by car, and a brisk 15 minute walk on foot.

Skylight effects are *hard* to get right. Any old n00b can do textures with OpenGL.

How to get it easy-like.
apt-get install celestia
If you've got a 3D accelerator, do this as well:
apt-get install celestia-glut
