personally, I use "+1 underrated" to award points to funny posts
I prefer to use "-1 overrated" after seeing the follwing somewhere:
A "practical joker" deserves the applause for his wit according to its quality. Bastinado is about right. For exceptional wit one might grant keelhauling. But staking him out on an anthill should be reserved for the very wittiest.
I altered my relationship to you to 'friend', because that was truly hilarious and I bask in light of your comedic genious. Truly, this is brilliant, like a washing machine in a bikini.
But I then altered it back to neuteral, because I wish I had thought of it and now I hate you.
Don't forget, XBox Live Silver is now free- I suspect that smaller amounts of data (game saves and the like) will be available through Live. Log in to your account from a friends house and play co-op on a game from one of your own saves without carrying a card (or XBox) with you. Play your unlocked Dead or Alive content too- I think I remember seeing something along the lines of personally customizable textures from a PC, that would all need some sort of Live connection for multiplayer stuff anyways, why not use it again to solve a no hard drive issue?
I think that these movies seem different in comparison to the popularity of movies that we've seen in the last few years.

Worldwide total: $28,524,243,485.00 http://www.imdb.com/boxoffice/alltimegross?region= world-wide No guarantees for my fat fingers with the calculator, but that's a ton of money. This years movies don't really compare to me, even just scanning over the list for 2005.
And this is why we don't preorder, children. Go the day of release and buy the item- if it's not available, complain. Companies that want to make money will have to stock things to sell them. Preorders for over-the-counter product is just another method for the customer to become the corporate tool. Who needs to satisfy a customer when you've already got their money?
There's nothing wrong with wanting to be nice to a child. However, having a child exert some effort in part helps impart self respect, responsibility, and good judgement. Parenting is more than keeping a kid appeased and without permanent damage. Sometimes the best course of action requires some sacrafice or discomfort.
I grew up a few houses from a fairly wealthy family that purchased a new car for their son. Two weeks later, the car was totaled and the son was getting another new car to replace it. The next accident was a few months later and once again the car was damaged so completely it also had to be replaced. This time I was shocked to find out he had demanded a brand new Camaro. I was even more shocked when he actually got it.
Sacrafice imparts a sense of value. Of course, there's extreames on both sides and balance is important, but there's far more rewarding gifts than expensive vehicles and 60" televisions.

Their system of measurment suggests so too...
Seeing as how Oregon is so close to the hydroelectic power nearby, perhaps the grandparent post is confusing oil with water? :)
If you weren't married... what?
You'd death roll Steve Irwin?
Try putting one on a shower head and turning the water on, then tie it off after it's got about 60 gallons in it and leave it for someone to find.

That would explain all the "R U 133T @ ebay? Make $4,000 / week!!one1" signs posted on the side of the road in the Redmond/Bellevue area.

I'd say that it's more likely Microsoft is trying to protect themselves a bit from USD v JPY v EUR currency issues.
Holy crap! Where's the'+1 Waaaaay Too Informative' mod?
And who's to say that we all percieve the same wavelength identically? ie: Is everyone's favorite color really the same?

They just don't realize that the .com TLD is already a virtual red light district.
You thought you were excited before? Wait until you see http://www.walken2008.com/ !
Too good to be true, but I think I just found my write-in!

Oh God, did I just post that?! It always looks ok before the [Submit]...

Don't forget the rise of the home theater, and the terrific increase in public assholes...
The article mentions that they will be in the tens of nanometers for now, working toward the single digit nanometers in the future.
Interesting that a demand for royalties comes from someone using a .gif...
and holy crap, I thought Scott Adams needed art classes! (I kid, I kid- I have no room to talk...)
Why do I get the feeling that if you can find them, you won't be able to affect their momentum?

Except that in this case, the tiresome shrieking and wailing is coming from the parents that actually bought the freakin' game in the first place.

Option 6: ??? / Profit!
Option 7: Save money for 18 months and buy out AMD.
Is it all that bad in India already? Sheesh, you'd think it would've been a few years at least...
But will your toasts survive kernel panics?
And if it's toasting a bagel, do you get a core dump?
