Judging by the age of this story and the low number of posts, I think that pretty much proves that they've got a lot of work to do in the "Public Interest" department.
I don't think this is an appropriate comparison. It would be pretty difficult to find a perfect real world analogy to the "aim-bot", but your point is well taken.
I argue however, that it's alot more difficult to get kicked out of a sport for "cheating" than it was, say 20 years ago.
Because of the gradual decrease in many people's morals, I think we as a whole are a lot more tolerant of these sorts of behaviors. We even expect people to cheat most of the time.
Additionally, judging by some of the marketing numbers that have been floating around for baseball in the last couple of years, fans have been migrating to other sports or even videogames.
"Though I think they can't help but draw on these guys...come on, Luke, Mara Jade and Leia? Hiding the tsalmiri? Planet of violent assassins? Playing with her father's infamy? Even Lucas can't deny that's good stuff!"
Now THAT'S a statement I can agree with!
(Sorry. I couldn't resist...)
My! How 1950's. I see someone doesn't watch much MTV. I know all the kids are using "The N Word" at school now, but you MUST work on your pronunciation.
Change the "er" to an "a" and try a little more emphasis on the last syllable. Be smooooov wit it.
Think Billy D. Williams and Colt 45. I'm sure you'll have it in NO TIME...
-This sucks! Now if it was Linux, THEN it would rock!

-I wish this was an Ipod!
-This is old news, I saw this last week!

Well, I guess not really, but this seriously bites ass. Do you kno whow many shell/perl scripts are going to have to be tweaked because of this helpful addition?
I wonder if this has anything to do with the announcement thatyou can link your passport login to your xBox Live id? You can login to the xbox website and see which of your buddys are online and what their playing...Pretty cool stuff from a usability standpoint, but at what cost?
- Turn on xbox with no cd in drive, but with memory card in controller. - Use the MS dashboard to copy the 007 save game to the harddrive. - Put in 007 Agent Under Fire and reboot. - Wait for lots of annoying intro stuff. - Choose "Load Mission", pick the game off the hard drive. - Linux boots! -Profit!!!
I didn't see your "Internet Service Waiver", your "Personal PC Tax" slip or your monthly email voucher. Do you even have your "MS USA Patriot Passport" or your "Digital Social Security Key"?
You have made an unauthorized post! You crook! It's people like you that ruin it for the rest of us. You damn terrorists! At least pay your DT3 (Digital Text Transport Tariff). Geez!
Your on my PC and NOW you're on my SLASHDOT TOO! Stop stalking me! Oh my god, this isn't spyware that fights back, this is STALK-ware! I KNEW I heard someone going through my trash outside last night! Help! AAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
[sarcasm] Let that be a lesson to all you Native Americans. All three of you! Any damn "injun" comming around trying to get "rep-ar-ations" of any kind in this here part of town will get his come uppance! Quicker n a jack rabbit humping a carrot hole come first of spring! Wheeeeee Doggies!
Hey, maybe he really wanted that electronic stuff so he could build a bom...never mind...It's not even worth it anymore... [/sarcasm]

"It doesn't make sense that people should be able to lose their jobs and that kind of money over a misprint of a price, even if it wasn't caught immediately."
Why the fuck not?
If somebody breaks into my house, slips, falls, and busts their head open on my kitchen floor, I can loose "that kind of money" through a lawsuit and THAT would be through no screw up on my part AT ALL. I don't even need to be at home at the time!
If anyone can afford to loose "that kind of money" Best Buy sure as hell can. Besides, I'm sure their insured for that kind of stuff anyway.
It's that same mentality that allows these big corporations to suck off of the government "welfare tit" while the "regular working guy" has to work an extra 4 hours every week to pay for 24 our medical surveilance for the president to make sure he doesn't choke on a fucking pretzel.
McDonalds used to be in the fsat food business
-now they make all of their money renting buildings and land to franchise owners...
The USA (supposedly) used to be in the "business" of protecting truth, justice, liberty, etc etc etc
-Now it's all about the Benjamins. Our new tagline should be:
Hey, were gonna make as much money as possible at all costs and if you get our way, we'll bomb the piss out of you and use your county and your childern to manufacture Michael Jordan gym shoes
and clothes from "Mary-Kate and Ashley"
If they want a global ecomomy they need to start acting like it by taking the first step and getting rid of this DVD region BS which IMHO is indefensible anyway as anything but a money making scheme/public f#ck-job.
I'm sure you really felt like you "owned" your car whenever it got stolen and the theif was driving around in it while you're ass was taking the bus to work. Did they ever catch his ass? Probably NOT.
"All pirates get caught..."
Puuuuuleeeeeeease!
Maybe all pirates that make millions of dollars, but certainly not all that USE it. Wake up!
You fail to realize that once that CD leaves the store, it belongs to me and there's REALISTICALLY not a damn thing that anyone can do about it. If I pay for it with cash, there's no way you can ever PROVE that I even bought it, so how can you expect to know wheteher or not I have an illegal copy of it. Therefore it's MINE along with everything else on it.
I bet you believe that most crimes are solved by the police, don't you? I've witnessed many more serious crimes that have never been solved, on the streets of the real world (where most of the M$ wankers wouldn't last 5 minutes anyway) NONE of this crap matters and it becomes a moot point after you get shot in the neck by the guy on the corner selling bootleg 2Pac and Windows XP CD's.
What world do you people live in? Physical reality is the only one that really matters at all and if they can't physically enforce IP laws any better than they do now, I can't help but laugh at them and your comments.

(Mr.Goody2Shoes) Hey Movie-Pirate-Man! Stop pirating this movie! You're under "Citizens Arrest!
:)
(Movie-Pirate-Man) (STAB!)(STAB!)(PUNCH!)(PUNCH!)(STAB!)
(Mr.Goody2Shoes) Why did the mean pirate-man kill me...
Now I'd buy a ticket to THAT for 9 Dollars!

Shaolin Soccer is coming soon. I saw a trailer for it last month. :)
If you made a script that raped or murdered 160,000 people...
Jesus Christ! If it was possible to write a script to rape and murder 160,000 people, we'd all have been 0wnz0r3d by Larry Wall.

Till the world blows up!
Does anyone else see the irony in stopping card counting players with card counting computers?
- Turn on xbox with no cd in drive, but with memory card in controller.
- Use the MS dashboard to copy the 007 save game to the harddrive.
- Put in 007 Agent Under Fire and reboot.
- Wait for lots of annoying intro stuff.
- Choose "Load Mission", pick the game off the hard drive.
- Linux boots!
-Profit!!!

I'd like to completely conquer and occupy Natalie Portman. She will receive extensive training in the proper use an handling of a Jedi's light saber.
That wasn't too obvious, was it?
Your on my PC and NOW you're on my SLASHDOT TOO! Stop stalking me! Oh my god, this isn't spyware that fights back, this is STALK-ware! I KNEW I heard someone going through my trash outside last night! Help! AAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

You want to force ME to pay for the space program by giving my tax dollars to a bunch of dolts who:
-can't launch a space mission more than once every couple of months TOPS.
-won't go back to the moon
-won't be going to Mars any time while I'm alive
-won't send my beloved mission to Europa
-won't take pictures of the areas of Mars I want to see
-and don't think I have any business going up into orbit to fulfill my life long dream?
FUCK THAT!
I already give my tax money to a stupid arrogant moron who doesn't do what I want him to do...
and he's called THE PRESIDENT!
Can somebody put something in Michael Williams' mouth, because my zipper is stuck!?!
That's not nice! But it's funny as hell! :)
