US researchers quizzed players of the role-playing game EverQuest II, and found adult gamers to be in better physical condition than the average American
Isn't that kind of like saying "the average airplane is smaller than a Boeing 747"?
Person: "Then I forced the ethernet-cable in the slot, rebooted while tearing out my nosehairs and slapping my dick at the computer in a vain attempt to feel superior...(5 minutes later)...then I did a defragmentation of the hard-drive but the damn things IS STILL TOO DAMN SLOW!".

User: "Oh gosh, I didn't know I had a pirated version of XP. I'll go down to the store and get a legit copy. Phew, thanks Microsoft, you warned me before I did something illegal there, that could have been ugly.".
In practice:

User: "Oh FFS! **** you, Microsoft!"
"See that waterfall? That's what makes my computer so snappy and frothy. Yes sir, my computers are the only ones cooled by waterfall in the whole world. And you can take that to the bank."
Today, there are over 6 billion users and we're only now starting to run into scalability issues.
Pfff...beta-software. When can we expect the final version? Word has it Duke Nukem Forever is coming out soon, imagine the PR-nightmare if you're slower than them, you'd be the laughing-stock of Slashdot.
Oh wait...

For a hacker he's pretty dumb. Everyone knows that the best way get attention directed to an exploit is to publish the entire kiddie-porn-folder of the person who can fix it, using the exploit in question.
"Instead of asking astronauts to reflect on their feelings, Mark Hegel of Dartmouth Medical School has them create lists of concrete things that are bothering them and brainstorm about practical ways to solve them. At the end of the exercise, users fill out a form used to diagnose depression. Clinical tests of this approach, which has never been tried in a multimedia self-help format, will start in a few months, using subjects recruited from the biomedical and engineering community in Boston."
Great, knowing what's wrong with me makes me feel SO much better.
"thousands of images of adult pornography and animation depicting adult and child pornography."
Yeah, let's get rid of those. What's that you say? Nonono that aint porn that's just an anime with a guy that kills people, drinks their blood and enjoys it like a maniac. I wanna be like him.
Not to bash of course, but with those specs they should think about using Xubuntu instead. I know, I know, Ubuntu will run acceptable on those specs, but it'd definitely be a nice option to barter polish for speed (as in snappy omgwtf-speed, compared to meh-speed). Nothing says pwnage as having your subnotebook boot up and respond faster than a Vista-powerhouse-pc.

Rather re-invent the joke.

I'd ask for 300 million dollars too to staple my good name to the dogshit that is Vista.
I tried that, but then a giant Ballmer came marching down the boulevard with a massive chair in his hand, and started smashing buildings.
