"Talking Rain" is another similar brand in the Northwest US. I drink *lots* of it -- no sugar, no horrid artifical sweeteners. It is fizzy and has some fruit oils in it to make it tastier than tap water. (Lemon-lime is pretty good)
I will second that, I have been buying it by the case since I discovered it about a year ago. (It was previously marketed under a different name, but is the same drink)
It works really well for people like me who went through college living on sweet carbonated bevreges.
I cant say if it has helped me lose any weight, as I started a real excercise regimine around the same time. However I have to believe that 100+ less grams of corn syrup a day makes a difference.
I dont think buying Dewalt is supporing Walmart. If Black and Decker realizes that everyone is going to a real hardware store to buy their professional tools instead of going to Walmart and getting some cheap crap, then I think that would perhaps convince them that selling poorly made crap is a bad buisness decision. However most Americans pefer buying cheap crap, so Black and Decker looks like it is making a good buisness decision. Provide the masses with their cheap tools, while never scaring the well respected name of their top of the line model.

So it wasnt a DDOS, it was just taking 7 million years to come up with a response.
Were I to design for 'grey gamers', I would probably focus on the following:
I'm not "grey" (27 years old), but you basically struck on all the points I want included in games I play. I would say that overall the key points you describe are ones make gaming more accessable at all mature age ranges. (focus on stragety rather then eye-candy and reflexes, etc)
Because, of course, any fan of a product must be on the take. No member of a community could possibly feel so strongly about it as to advocate it against its rivals. I wonder who is paying all those fans to support linux? Granted I'm not saying there are no astroturf marketing going on out there, but you did start it and any fan of something is going to stand up and defend what they believe in.
For instance, if I were to say that the Steelers kicked the Seahawks collective asses, I am certian may people would immediatly stand up and defend them, despite their loosing the game. Does that make the people who disagree with me wrong? Of coruse not.
GP:Sure, streets would be clean, life would be safe and easier, but it would also be very boring. P: Video games can take care of the bordem...
Nope, next those will be illegal. Drinking in bars? Could lead to dangerous drunk driving, better make that illegal too. Like to drive a fast car? Too bad, every car in the country is designed not to ever exceed the posted speed limit, and acceleration is limited to avoid "racing". Looking at naughty pictures on the internet? Dont worry, the government is watching...
Funny, I've never been hit by anybody in over 10 years, and I drive a lot.
I'll bet that you live in a more rural area, and the GP lives in a more urban one. I dont know if there is research to support this, but I would bet that as you increase the number of drivers in a limited area, you increase the chance of a mishap.
I have certianly noticed this after growing up in a small town, and moving to a medium sized city. In the small town even as a teenager I never even had a close call. Wheras I am a much better driver now, and drive a smaller car rather then a pickup, but I still have had several close calls in the past 5 years.
I am sorry to inform you that we have already performed your orders and have assasinated 2names. Sorry, but with the sheer number of contracts you have put out we need to move quickly to get all 100 million file sharers in the US.
And this is why we, in Pennsylvania, try to avoid Ohioans when we see them on the road. They have those signs that say "Drive on the right, pass on the left, its the law" here for a reason.

One time a girl asked a friend of mine if guys breathed through thier penis while they slept. She was completely serious.
Perhaps a guy asked her to perform artifical resuscitation on his penis?
IMDB saves the day again
Same in 9.0 build 8265, though to be fair, this is the build that completly destroyed Opera on my home computer.

The only law that makes things taste good is the Reinheitsgebot, or Beer Purity Law of 1516.

WE dont. But mainstream people do. And its those mainstream people we need to convince.
Top 40 hits.. somebody thinks it's good music.
Yeah, the RIAA.
Fraud! The real Andrew Tanenbaum would not be installing Linux, he would be porting MINIX to it if he had one.
I might have some violent tendencies...
This is quite a surprise comming from someone named "violent ed".

The above is complete corporate spin.

This time they dont need to worry about the blimp. The Steelers played in that one too.

I think he was referring to the dark years of the RIAA conquering much of continental Europe.
Now why anyone would want to go to the site in the first place, I have no idea.
Aparently posts are now dupes as well.
Na, that is if you had a million. If you had a billion you would need to do 200 chicks at the same time.
I hope this thing rolls over a liquor store.
No, its a secret key...
Tony Blair: Fezzik, jog his memory.
Fezzik *bonk*
lorcha: *passes out*
Fezzik I think I jogged him a bit too hard.
Does this remind anyone of the Atredies Sonic Tank from Dune II? Well, except for the part where the target explodes, I suppose.
