I don't buy it. There is no advantage to 'gaining marketshare' by going below cost, because on ebay there is like 0 loyalty. People log in and buy the cheapest thing available and log out, unless the cheapest thing available is sold by someone with horrible feedback. This isn't Microsoft pushing the xbox to make room in the market for the 360.
"If you were to write down the plot of KOTOR it would only end up being a few pages long, a short story or at most a novella." You can write the dialog of Once Upon a Time in the West on about 12 pages. It still was a great movie and told a great story. And not only that, it was a long movie. I haven't played KOTOR but I'm just saying that your metric is flawed.
Down the road you might be right. But right now Google has something all the others don't: everyone wants to work there. They can hire the tops minds at the same rates others are highering the 'almost' top minds. It would be foolish for Google, in this position, to say, "tell these 'top minds' we already have enough 'top minds' and we'll do just fine, thank you very much. We'll start directly issuing all of our profits as dividends instead of taking the world's geniuses up on their bargain offer."

I did not realize that the soviets and the US have identical programs in every meaningful way so that a metric like "who has had more deaths" means anything about whether we should launch in the rain or not. I mean, wow; we don't even have to consider who has had more launches in addition?
In the early days of ebay it was so easy to retract that someone would put in a low ball bid with one account, put in a high as hell one with another, and then retract that latter seconds before the auction ended.
You are insane. Finding a picture of an underage player on a team will not get an old game forfeited. There have been athletes convicted of rape where that didn't happen.
"You must not act like a hooligan and brag about it in public." The problem is that this doesn't just apply to those acting like hooligans; with the prevalence of facebook on campuses, you should revise your statement to, "You must not be seen in public."

The point is we get it ready in advance, rather than rely on being able to cobble it together after the fact.
How do you think Yao Ming was created?
KMart owns a credit card company?
Pencils can strike but a pen can't?
Then for every dialog change you have to do 4x the work. Stupid.
slickdeals, fatwallet. off the top of my head
So all winter night lasts 2-3 hours and all summer it doesn't exist?

One guy makes a dumb post and now half of slashdot's readers are saying that half of slashdot's reader's don't know where Cambridge is?

1. A shackle used to teach a horse to amble.
2. Something that restricts activity, expression, or progress; a restraint.
That would totally look like barf in my editor where tabs are 0 spaces.
Ughhh. If it were so simple everyone could just pipe everything through GNU indent and get everything in the format they want. It isn't so simple.

"If a company can stick a no-compete on you"
The company doesn't 'stick' anything on you; I'm sure he didn't have to take that promotion from some mid-level manager to executive.
I never said they shouldn't.

"it doesn't allow users to make their profiles shittily-designed"
I've seen a lot of shitty ascii art on facebook.
