Oh, and come to think of it, the reason they got banned was probably this one:

Sheila: Time's have changed Our kids are kids are getting worse They wont obey their parents They just want to fart and curse! Sharon: Should we blame the government? Liane: Or blame society? Dads: Or should we blame the images on TV? Sheila: No, blame Canada Everyone: Blame Canada
From the article (on the X-Box): "because nobody realized that the German 'einstellungen' wouldn't fit in the same text space as 'settings'."
We all make mistakes (and that's probably not exactly how things happened), but I still think that quote is funny:)

I think it's time to quote [whoever said it first]: "The amount of intelligence on the Internet is a constant; unfortunately, the population keeps increasing."
It's actually quite sad, but I don't think one can expect people to behave like they did when IRC was young. In the beginning people who used IRC were among the few to even know about the Internet, but today the users on IRC represent an almost randomly chosen group of people. And there _will_ be some who won't respect other people, and there _will_ be some who will cause this kind of problems.
I think the possiblity that people will start to behave nicely has to be ruled out. Those days are gone.

To quote a friend: "That fourth test must have been the one where they tried to crash to browser as fast as possible"

If you don't see that as a problem, I guess you'll buy it for me then? Oh, and I need Windows too.
I've even seen this set on the shelves in the local toy store here in Faraway Town(tm), Norway.
