Another loss of revenue is the people who go see the same movie 10 times, because the only way to see it is on the big screen. It was the 14-year-old female demographic that made the over-budget Titanic turn a profit. Movie theaters would be losing a ton of money if people could buy the DVD after the first showing.
I read the headline as "SOAP Opera for Luring Women" and was trying to figure out what the heck some programmer was doing with XML messaging and an Internet browser to stalk women.
This is a stupid idea. Everyone knows that television is keeping the masses busy, so they don't overthrow the government. You think Hitler would have gotten people organized if the game was on? I'm leaving the country in 2009. Once TV's go black, people will start rioting due to boredom.
Nintendo had that beat by a year in Yoshi's Island (1996). There were this danelion spors that caused the entire screen to weave and the music slowed down. You could even fall of a cliff if you standing on the edge and it bent down.
Yeah, at least you aren't going to see him make the El Mariachi prequel trilogy where the main character is a a wide-eyed banjo-playing kid who gets into wacky hijinx with his talking CGI-generated llama.
I don't know if this is true everywhere in the USA, but at many places I go now the cashiers are not required to check the credit card signature if the purchase is under $25.
It's been nearly 4 years now, but I swear I remember a difference between a VHS copy of Ghost World that I rented and the version that I now own. I remember Enid and her father sitting at a kitchen table. I thought on the VHS, the camera kept switching back and forth from Enid and Dad. On my DVD, the camera has both of them in shot.
While I only use floppies for emergency booting, a ton of the people at my university still use floppies to save papers. The composition professors never learn about nor teach students about FTP or using servers.
I work in the computer labs and have to deal with tons of problems, because students don't respect their disks. Then, the floppies break and I have to rescue their paper, because they either saved it on their hard drive at home or have no backup. Sometimes they also get stuck in the drives.
Floppies will still live on until people teach the non-tech savvy better alternatives.

It's what would have happened to the Plague Dogs novel if Disney had made it into a movie instead of the British.
"Cinderelly, Cinderelly, we've got the plauge, oh, Cinderelly."

So, when George dies, who's going to be his Rick Baker? Sounds like a good slashdot poll.
"hehe, Ben Ass-fleck." -Too obscure?
This seems like the headline of an article from The Onion.

Disney hasn't made a robot movie so there is nothing to rip-off. This has to be a rumor.
Ha, the Washington Monument looks like something out of an RPG. "Go to the Monument to rescue the Hope Ruby! Beware of the peril!"
The moment they port ZSNES or SNES9X to the PSP, I am buying one.
Anyone know where I can find some decent ASCII porn these days?

I took down one of my college's servers while programming in a networking class. I didn't know what fork meant, but now I do. :)
And the Duluth News Tribune buys www.Aboat.com.
How about "The Real Starship Enterprise" where contestants spend 3 months on a mockup of the real ship. One is a Human, a Vulcan.......
I know it's immature to poke fun of spelling, but I just pictured a Verisign van handing out lists of domains in a back alley.
No, he uses Perl.NET.
It was a full length Philip K. Dick book. It was rather short, but most of his books were around the 200-250 page length.

Am I wrong?

Hopefully this doesn't turn into Nintendo's game system / doorstop called Satellaview.
