You forget how much of Canada's population lies in the south 5% of the country. Therefore, population density-wise, it is very much different than the US.
1. As long as this has nothing to do with Fred Savage, Super Mario Bros. 3, and the word "Wizard" (which, when you think about it, spawned, after several generational mutations, "Hackers")...Well, then I'm game.
2. As per college kids...C'mon, Timothy...
Here I quote after drunkedly RTFA...
"Timothy said tournament entry fees are $60 for a team of four. There is a $3 charge for spectators to watch the games."
Let it be said, and I feel safe generalising here, that any college kid with $63 will either spend it on: Ramen
Beer
Some Girl
This idea reminds me of the movie theaters that opened up with the pretense of being 'high class', i.e. serving dinner and booze. Nice idea, but the average Joe Consumer can only watch from afar and wish that he/she could afford such niceties. So. Target patron: College kid? Nope. Maybe parents could foot the bill for their kids to do it. Some pay membership fees for their wee ones to join skate parks, why the hell not this, I guess. It's a goofy niche, s'what I'm sayin'.
Hey, it's River City Ransom, 2005! Super Red Bull raises vitality to next level! Big Mac 10 dollars raises strength to max!!! Smiles are free, but only with coupon and purchase of small Starbucks coffee!!!
I mean, before affirming legal action, did they even bother trying to deal directly with the source? I mean, how difficult is it to send one stinking letter to Hormel, asking them to cease and desist? I tell ya, lawyers are ruining this world.
As long as you wear a top hat, have a Yeti handy, and a supply of life size bubbles to carry you upward if you trip and fall, you'll be just fine. And Sherpas. Gotta have Sherpas. Just don't piss them off.
Maybe this will be important to nerds in the scale of damage a compressed water hose from a Russian logger ship will do to the hardware aboard a Greenpeace ship whose occupants are trying to board said freighter. You know, collateral damage, while trying to blast the crazies off their vessel in international waters? Just a guess.;)
At least he posted it at the right time, when people like me have just come home from our local drinking holes, and aren't likely to have the patience to wait for the download, regardless of the site being slashdotted or not...:)
Screw large caliber rockets. I wanna laser that can blast an asteroid at a great enough distance so that it's remnants burn to dust in the atmosphere, or elude our orbits totally.
Preferably mounted on a large shark that won't eat LL CoolJ if given the chance.
You're right. Ads on the internet are truly the fnords of the immanentized eschaton. Now I must fashion a new tin foil hat, for the last one was needed to bake a potato on the grill. Adieu!

This makes me think of in Starship Troopers (the movie, alas) when the corpse hits the windshield (or what have you) of the spaceship with a loud THUD! Shit like that just ain't supposed to happen. You, sir, are a troubled individual, or a potential zombie for the next shooting of the Resident Evil movie franchise. Two bad movies in one comment! Ba-ding!
The good guys shoot blue lasers, and the bad guys shoot red lasers. The bad guys are usually led by a deep voiced guy with a steel head, or some other such menacing device. They will have a spectacled officer who vaguely looks like a dominatrix, and most of their leaders wear masks and talk to themselves at great length.
"Although it's not statistically significant given Canada's population of 31.5 million, 20,000 lightsabre-wielding census-takers is nothing to sneeze at."
Is this what happens when a socialist-leaning country enforces its gun control laws? Whatever happened to the simple lead pipe, or switchblade, or what have you?
Now I shall be forced to watch Canadian Bacon yet again. Alas, John Candy!
I think that it did have a ready fan base, actually, as the article stated. On one side, you have the Woo-ites who crave for the wire-fu and Jackie Chan kung fu goodness...on the other side, hackers/crackers who question authority and rally against the seemingly unbeatble status-quo. The article used the Breakfast Club analogy, and I thought that was insightful. Anyhow, that's just my two cents.
Man, I can't look at Batman and Robin and NOT think of the Ambiguously Gay Duo anymore. I miss the days when I was younger and had no awareness of these soul-crushing truths.
Slashdot Mirror
Screw bringing back ppl
Damn, dude. Better send up some hookers or something with them...
Or was that implied in the supplies?

You gotta admit. Nothing is remotely satisfying as salting the earth of your enemy's homeland.
Now there's a good day's work. Like you go home, knowing, 'Hey, I did some good today. Lets go out and do some more of that tomorrow.'

In conclusion, I'll get another beer.
Catch Milla Jovovitch when she falls out of the sky wearing nothing but medical tape?
I guess it's time to throw out the ol' CB radio, now that CB tag has finally gone the way of the dodo.
Time to embrace the wave of the future!
Oh, wait, I'm sane.
Nothing to see here, move along, people!

Try turning the brightness down to 0 next time you play warcraft. There's yer demons in the dark. Please hand over the millions of dollars now.
Keep feeding them Jameson, and the shakes go away naturally...really! No need for robots here. Talk about writing a thesis to answer 2+2.

Big Noise indeed.

They've gone plaid!
With pocket protectors, to boot!
As a citizen of Wisconsin...

On Wisconsin, On Wisconsin
And so on.
Which, of course, is:

I immediately thought of an old page of my friends, regarding the Mythical Land of France. This was good reading.
