Why wouldn't people work for Raytheon? Not everyone obeys the same moral and ethical standards that you or I might. Personally, I might even considering working for them for a bucketload of money and some self-justification of "protecting the free world".
Because obviously, computer games are unproductive and a waste of time and taxpayers money... try telling that to Blizzard, EA, Rockstar and many other companies with billion dollar + profits.
Knowing that particular store, the "kids" at Dick Smith have NFI about anything anyway... last time I went there they tried to tell me a DVi cable was the same as a DV cable.
FYI, in Australia we have the Goods and Services Tax (GST) of 10%. The tax MUST be included in the sticker price of whatever good is being sold. Unlike your American system, the sticker price IS the sticker price and we have no "hidden" extras to pay once we reach the counter.
With Australia about to roll out the National Broadband Network, the Rudd government is terrified of being labelled as the government who improved access to child porn and helped terrorists communicate. A number of recent measures (think Conroy's filter and the border searches of digital devices) are designed to look good politically while achieving nothing substantive in reality.

Troll? Some people around here have no sense of humour...
Sooo, they were following the Micro$oft business model then?
And they wore brown onions on their belts, as was the fashion at the time.

Yup, thought so.
Although the precedence of WoW won't be threatened, it's a GREAT time for MMO players at the moment. Star Wars MMO, Fallout MMO, Final fantasy etc
Some can sign up and some can't at the moment, speculation is that the beta will be North America or US only.
Finally, a chance to play in a post apocalyptic world... this may even wean me off of Azeroth if it's any good.
I fell asleep on the couch watching a game the other night... I woke up from a nightmare of being attacked by giant bees.
Michael Richards, stop posting on /. dammit!
That depends on his opponent... after all, if a Ficus tree can win an election then anyone can if run against the right opponent.
