Slashdot has become increasingly irrelevant, inaccurate, and just plain lazy in their reporting. Offering this individual such as that a forum for fame? Unsupportable.
Don't get me wrong, I loved V&V, I played it for years, but it's so amazingly outdated now.
If you want the same feel but with a smoother system, try out Icons from Adamant Entertainment. You get the awesomeness of a randomly-rolled superhero (try it, it's a great creative springboard), a nice combat system, no miniatures to worry about, and a great story balance between high-powered supers and lower-powered ones.
And yes...these are the same folks coming out with the Buckaroo Banzai RPG.
I use citrus zest all the time! If this technique changes the flavor, texture, or aroma of my fruit, I say stick with the labels. I can peel off a label and still have the whole zest. That etching means I lost a good chunk of peel I'd use for candied citrus peel, not to mention making any sorbet served inside an orange just plain silly-looking.
Rawhide: Dr. Banzai is using a laser to vaporize a pineal tumor without damaging the parthogenital plate. A subcutaneous microphone will allow the patient to transmit verbal instructions to his own brain.
Observer: Like, "raise my left arm"?
Rawhide: Or "throw the harpoon." People are gonna come from all over. This boy's an Eskimo.
Step 1) Try everything reasonable you can with the company. Document it. Send them the document, directly to the appropriate manager.
Step 2) Send the same to the Better Business Bureau and the Attorney General of the state where they do business.
This worked for me against Gateway's horrifically bad support.

I'm a tech support manager, having worked my way up the ranks from front line, through escalations, to team leader. I spent a few side trips as a tech writer, project manager, and consultant, then came back as a manager. Tech support doesn't have to be the mindless drone job of the Dilbert set. I've got an average retention rate of almost 4 years, and all of our QA hires have come out of my team. And most of them sign on to help out over email for the busy season. Mine is a typical call center, but I make sure we're backup QA, check marketing messages before they go out, and act as a general think tank based on the one fact that most companies miss.
We know more about the customer than anyone else.
We check the spec on new products to make sure it's what the customers want. We're consulted on the marketing, because we know what the customers don't like. We prevent bad decisions made from folks who don't talk to the customers on a daily basis.
When tech support serves its function well and the team's satisfied, who wants to move on?
