... 'til George "dubya" Bush delivers his speach [actually not his 'cos the basement full'o monkeys wrote it] somewhere along the lines of:
"This is a monumental day for America. We have learnt our lessons from Columbia and now we continue in our quest to explore the universe, blah, blah, blah, To promote our great nations technological superiority its is my commitment to slash NASA's budget buy 50% within the next three years, blah, blah, blah, (more pseudo-patriotic rhetoric appealing to the working class), blah, blah, blah, and that is why we must invade Iran.

If you are about to be fired...There are many sighns you are about to be fired, but most of them relate to steps your employer has taken to prevent you from doing damage to their systems in retaliation, like, say, changing the root password, deleting your personal userid, removing you from the company directory, and then there are these:
Top 41 Signs You Are About To Be Fired
The point is, do what you need to do long before you are fired so as to make your exit as painless as possible. If your employer is not competent enough to take the nessecery steps, and so requires anti-employee insurance, then that's their problem, and it probably indicates they're too stupid to deserver to have you working for them anyway. If they havn't earned the respect of their employees, again, this is the mark of a bad employer and it's time to move on anyway.
It's simple, if any of the above events have occurred, plan to move on and if your company has purchased anti-employee insurance, it's time to het the hell out anyway.

George Bush Trying to Get HomeThere has been much political debate of this issue however, may I be the first to say that NASA should spend any amount of money needed to help George W. Bush get home. Now is the time, as mars grows closer to earth than it has in recorded history, we must act quickly to help the gramatically challenged one. If you don't believe me, here's the proof:
Top 41 signs George W. Bush Must Be From Mars
With all the partisan politics around these days, let us all agree on one thing. We should help this pittifull little martian get home.

Do the Gnomes Talk to You?Do you hear voices? Did the gnomes tell you to put them in the computer lab, or is this a precursor to an all-out invasion? If the gnomes don't talk to you, then you can read about all the things the gnomes tell others across this expanse we call the internet:
Top 39 Things the Evil Lawn Gnomes tell only You
We swear, we knew about the invasion of the lawn gnomes long before those MIT students ever got wind of their master plan (although, like anyone who knows the truth we can't prove it and no one would believe us even if we could).

Games should be jusged on length of play
Game quality needs to be judged based on length of derived enjoyment, rather than the quality of the story, the quality of the graphics, or the speed or performance of the system on which it is played. The quality of a game shgould be judged on the time you/your kid plays and/or enjoys it. This is not nearly as subjective as the other measures and gives a good indication of the value you recieve from the game.
It's a modified economic utility model, in a way. How much utility have you gained from the expenditure on this game? Did it occupy 100% of the time you alocated for game play? Did it enguage you to a degree that allowed you to successfully ignore the world around you for that period? How many days/weeks/months of game play time did it occupy? What was the hourly cost of your game play? These are all valid and objective measures of the quality of a game.
It's also important to recognize the Signs You've Played Too Many Video Games , but this is a much more subjective thing.

Bad People
As somebody wisely said on this list at KeepersOfLists.org, 'Bad People Use the Internet for Stuff'. Bad People are always going to use the internet, the same as Bad People use cars, the telephone, postal service and even airplanes - but whatever regulations you introduce, it's always going to mean extra hassle for the honest people, while the Bad People just find some way round it.
