I say good riddance. Maybe next time some little Asian kid won't come up and beat me at Tekken next time I've played 20 minutes straight on two quarters and am right at the boss. Maybe it's just me... they didn't let me back into that Chuck E Cheese again.
You shut the hell up, I want my Heroes! I had to watching fucking American Gladiators and just pretend that Helga had super lesbian powers. Do you know what that's like? =)
Thank gawd you posted that anonymously, because that's probably the dumbest thing I've read today (and I've been on CNN.com... so yeah)
To banish P2P because it can be used illegally is the first step. Next we will banish government, economics, networking, programming, graphic design and marketing... ok, maybe not marketing (it's mostly harmless), but all the others are dangerous and can make people lose money/power. 10 years and all you'll be able to major in is French and marketing.
I used to think that the only way to get rid of the RIAA was to pay some sort of rogue marketing company to put out bad press about them, thereby crushing the faith of their supporters. Honestly, though, they keep shooting themselves in the foot without any help from anyone else.
I worked at a GameStop for a couple years and we basically stopped testing Nintendo systems when they came in for trade because it was not worth the time to check. The Nintendo systems always worked. The PS2 on the other hand... we had to test the blue discs, the silver discs, the controllers, the memory card slots, etc...
I've had Yahoo! mail since '98, been paying them to host my domain since '01, and if the Big M buys them it's just going to fuck everything up. There's a reason Yahoo! mail is better than that MSNhotmail.NET crap. Then you just know they're going to install that frustration detection system on there.
"I've noticed that you have only been typing with one hand while checking those messages that have a bunch of pictures and movies attached to them, and it seems that you are becoming frustrated with them. Would you like me to delete them for you?"
I hate my life.
Shortly following this announcement, The Topps Company (makers of Bazooka Joe bubble gum) have announced that they are filing to get the maximum penalty for petty theft to be increased in suit. Since the cost of stealing a $14.99 CD is going to be $1.5 million, the cost to the unlucky thief of stealing a single piece of $.15 bubble gum will be raised to $15,000. The reason for this should be obvious by now, in that each piece of full-flavoered Bazooka Joe bubble gum comes with a joke written on the wrapper, as well as every piece containing the top secret recipe which could be copied and put bubble gum makers out of business. Exacerbated by the high cost of litigation againts violators and paying for more commercials that brighten our image with the people we want to buy our product, $15k seems a bare minimum.

Signed. And then, when it fails, they'll likely let you use Hulk Smash too.
The only thing the parent needs is some cool, blue, semi-translucent baubles and a Star Trek reference.

...and masturbate. A lot.
I'm really impressed that it took this long into the comments to get a pseudo-Star Trek joke. Give yourselves some Romulan Ale.

This is just going to create a whole 'nother group of people who can't compete in the Olympics.
