Why is paraphrasing the article the definition of "asshole"?

Then I was ignoring her, or somewhere else. And, since she didnt know where I was if I didnt IM her my location.... :) It was just a pain. Quite funny really. College kids. Katz has a point.

Yeah, but it would suck if she was screaming ": )" (Colon Right-Paren) while we were busy....

"I IM for a lunch date, to get pizza, to walk to class, to check on my friends and assignments,"

I once dated a girl that did this extensivly. It was a huge annoyance, of sorts. I'd have to go to "afk" status, or just plain ignore her (which virtually guaranteed me trouble later..) when I wanted 3 minutes to myself. ::sigh::

most shallow and unimpressive

It is a children's story

Such harsh, words from somebody with a nick like "The ultimate badass". How old are you? Have you read the books to form your own opinion? You say it is widely considered... but what do YOU consider it. And one can only gather their opinion after reading the book(s). I could spew on my soap-box for days as to why the books are great, but I dont expect people to take that for granted without reading the books themselves. I suggest you open one up and start reading. Its called imagination.

I cant wait for AOL to sue Micros~1 for saying "You've got mail". They'll probably go with something like "You have a new e-mail message, but you havent properly verified your key for your installation of WindowsXP. We are notifying the proper authorities. Please call us at 1-900-444-3321."

If I could ++ this comment, I would. Damn moderation stuff.

"Dale Todd, Evan's father, said he hooked up with Thompson through research he did on violent video games. He even obtained a copy of "Doom" and played it himself. He was appalled. "

'Obtained' a copy. Hrm, he's a warez feind. Oh well.

My issue is the fact that they use the OLD games as evidence. I dont belive games cause issues with kids, I just find it funny that they keep mentioning Doom instead of UT, or Half Life or anything else. They'll probably mention scorched earth or one must fall 2099 soon enough. :)

I dunno. It'd make me smile.
