I wish I had mod points, because this is spot on.
The problem isn't piracy, the problem is that organizations like the RIAA would rather sue everybody instead of investigating ways to compete with piracy.
The truth these organizations don't want to acknowledge is that piracy will never go away, no matter how many people you sue, or how many anti-piracy ad campaigns you run. The way to succeed isn't to prevent people from pirating media, but to make them want to pay for it. It is necessary to stop thinking of pirates as criminals, and start thinking of them as competitors.
Maybe if the levels aren't so dark Blizzard won't have to make all the skeletons bright green or red in order to make them stand out from the background.
The levels in Diablo I and II may have been dark and gritty, but most of the enemies certainly weren't.

Then they came for the fat cells
- but I didn't want to be a fatass, so I did not speak out.
And when they came for the brain cells, there was no... uhhh... durrr...
Hmm... If this system analyzes objects to establish a baseline, perhaps we could swarm it with people in squirrel outfits and skew the baseline so that it flags anyone who is not a giant squirrel.
Exactly. And having a leprechaun kill you a couple screens away from the end of the game just because you forgot to pick up a four-leaf clover in the second screen of the game isn't a challenging puzzle, it's just fucking sadistic.
Didn't you hear? More than 70% of the world's supply of /> tags are mined in Africa. The GP is trying to prevent further bloodshed by boycotting their use.

Man, that's easy. Cows drink milk... I mean water! Wait, wrong trick question.
Prepare for unforeseen consequences.
That's the saltiest thing I've ever eaten! And I once ate a big bowl of salt!

That seems like a fairly modest proposal.
This should definitely be modded Informative.

Yes, everyone knows the correct term is blagonet.
Ummm... no? No, wait, yes! No meaning yes! Damn it... er, pass?
Splunge!
Yeah, but "Impractical Not-Really-A-Jetpack Maybe Available Sometime" doesn't have quite the same ring to it, does it?

It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.
It's a movie about a man with blades attached to his hands, and you're surprised that it's violent?
What were you expecting, topiary and hairstyling?
I'm pretty sure it's actually an XOR.
No, it's the same actor from the first movie.

To hell with that! Let's rickroll the North Pole!
He's listed in the credits because he was in the beginning of the film. The guy interrogated by Dent was not Crane.
Would not a slave be better? It's renewable, green and doesn't pollute.
All of us at the Martian Liberation Front are deeply offended by this statement.
You got metal fever, boy! Metal fever!
Robocaust? What robocaust? I've never heard of a robocaust before. It sounds like something made up by a /.er.
Yeah, everyone knows the correct term is Robocalypse.
