It's nice to see the most overrated games, but what about the most underrated games? I would be genuinely interested in good games that weren't marketed strongly enough.
I would like to point out that Howard Dean has been vocal about his issues with the USA PATRIOT Act from the start, but did not have the opportunity to vote against it.

If your state is still up for grabs or close to it at election time, vote for the lesser of two evils. However, if your state will not be close, vote Green. If the Green Party gets 5 million votes, they will get the same federal funding as the other two parties.
You are entitled to your opinion. Unless, of course, your opinion is about such anti-American activities as trying to elect someone other than the incumbent President. In that case, you will be held indefinitely without bail.
The thing is, everyone's mind set is "I'm going to keep that guyA out of office by voting for guyB."
Well, in this case, keeping "guyA" out of office is pretty important to me. However, if it looks like he will overwhelmingly win or lose my state, I'll go Green so that they can get closer to their 5 million vote goal.
As the other poster said, you'll probably have to write this yourself. I recommend looking at TIGER and FIPS, which may allow you to have your program be completely dynamic--people could choose to be alerted of seismic events within 100, 500, 1000 miles of their home relatively easily. (I'm not familiar with either of these services, but I remembered their use by the winner of the Google Programming Contest.)
Now for magnitude, you can just flag each seismic event with an appropriate value and see if it meets the threshold the citizens want. And since you have the distance from the epicenter to the citizen's home, you can calculate the effective magnitude that the citizen feels, or you can just leave it as the magnitude found at the epicenter.
It depends on where my state is. If my state is overwhelmingly for either side, I will give my vote to whoever the Green Party chooses to nominate. If my state is close, I must do whatever possible to keep W from getting a second term.
And if Dean or Kucinich is the Democrat's nominee, I wouldn't consider either the lesser of two evils. (But if it's Kucinich, he'll most likely win my state--his home state--with an large majority, so I'll vote Green.)
The bullshit-o-meter goes off the scale at the claim they can get "100%"- and there's one very simple, indisputable reason; the glass itself blocks a significant amount of energy- ESPECIALLY at a low angle of incidence, where the outer glass is going to reflect a large percentage of the light hitting it. The modules inside the window may pivot, but the outer glass doesn't.
So you're saying that a generator inside of a window can only work with light that's actually going through the window? Wow. I learn something every day.
I don't run a virus checker. I use an email program that doesn't execute anything without user consent. If the university will pay for a virus scanner that doesn't take up too much system resources, I will consider running it to appease them, but it's unlikely.
If you ask one company to stop calling you, and you tell them why, and they call you again, it is harassment. And judging from the grand parent's post, I'd say many of those utilities called him multiple times.
StarOffice and OpenOffice can read and write DOC files, but not as well as MS Office.

World Wildlife Fund had been around for ages before WWE came into being, and it seemed more than reasonable of them to allow WWE to use "WWF" within a limited context.
Well, there is no way anybody could mistake the World Wrestling Federation with the Worldwide Wildlife Fund. Trademarks are for specific names/logos, but only for limited markets (e.g., my motherboard and my graphics card are made by MSI; msi.com, however is for the now renamed Molecular Simulations, Inc., which is completely different from MSI Computers (and Molecular Simulations, Inc.'s name change is not related to trademark issues)).
The current WWE was foolish to sign a contract limiting their use of "WWF".
I had every utility company in this state calling my cell phone trying to reach the guy that used to have the number.. and it took a good 3 or 4 months of sending calls to voicemail, with a message saying "This is NO LONGER THE PHONE NUMBER FOR -former owner's name-. If you are looking for him, please do not call back.".. probably 3 or 4 calls a week.
I think if you have to do this it qualifies as harassment, and charges should be pressed.

Well, the South was occupied by armies hostile to the United States. If we are invaded, I could live with some people not being able to vote.

Interesting theory. However, there is a precedent against this--even Lincoln let elections continue in the middle of the Civil War.

And Senator Feingold was one of 67 members of Congress to vote against the USA PATRIOT Act, but the only Senator to do so.

Yes, MS knows about the true nature of FOSS, but they're trying to keep that true nature under wraps.
This is a terrible idea, but it brings to the table an issue that needs attention. The submitter merely posed an extremist view of what should happen.

That is, I've had job interviews in which they asked me to send a resume as DOC, so I save as RTF and rename the file.

Mod me how you will. I really don't give a shit.
Not all Linux advocates work for slashdot.
What about all those empty lines, such as between function bodies? Linux obviously stole those from SCO.
