...best buy will have numerous markets without even token competition
Buy online. Between newegg and Amazon I get everything I need with no hassle and good prices. The only time I have bothered to go to a brick and mortar store like BB in recent memory was for a cable. After seeing how outrageous the price was I went home and ordered that online as well. I'll pay a 100% premium for a last minute local need, but not a 1000% premium.

Bong Cat

Stupid people do stupid things. A stupid person smoking pot is still stupid. A normal person smoking pot will not suddenly stuff a cat in a poorly constructed bong.
...they crammed 45 minutes of jokes into a 90 minute movie.
But the DVD extras! Those are completely and totally... well they gotta be worth something.
Or maybe not. Like you I waited until they were broadcast to watch them. I'm surprised at how negative the view of them are in this thread, I enjoyed them. It helped that I wasn't overly analytical in comparing them to some perceived ideal from the series, and that I didn't pay to watch.
...time to change the hearts and minds of those close to them.
As someone who does not believe in the magic bearded man in the sky and has been pestered for years by those who do, I say to them: please stop. It got old a long time ago, and nothing you say will make me worry about being punished by a supernatural booger man for my failure to adhere to modern human interpretations of ancient human originated scripts.
...lose money hand over fist purely from ticket revenue
Yup. In Houston last year tickets covered 17% of the actual cost. Tickets cover so little of the actual cost that there are periodically proposals for tickets to be free to raise ridership. They actually did that for about a year in Austin. There were complaints about the homeless using buses as a place to hang out and children using them as a playground.
Bottom line is that the sales tax (at least here in Texas) on everyone pays most of the cost of mass transit. Whether you use it or not, you are forced to pay for it.

Bringing down western civilization by downloading episodes of Battlestar Galactica instead of paying for cable.
Thank you MPA for saving the day!

At first glance I was wondering why Microsoft would supply and API function CreateRemoteThreat().
Even for Windows, that would be a little out there.
Colbert cannot be stopped...EVER!
You must be unaware of the orbital grizzly bear.
Imagine one of those coming at you at 15000 miles per hour: Roar!
sendmail.cf
Gah! Noooooo!
You have invoked the name of ultimate evil, dooming us all!
You should edit sendmail.mc (evil light) instead and process it with m4.
Nothing could be more intuitive.

No way! People willing to work for such an ethical and forward thinking organization would have more loyalty to each other.

Yeah, but they got really snappy uniforms.
That's why the USMC is so jealous of the Navy.
Whoa now, I'm sure ScuttleMonkey is doing his best.
Two girls, one cup.
I'm now posting on /. about Twitter.
I live such a full life.
It's a little too lumpy and greasy for my taste.

Actually it was Crimson Tide.
I would separate 'greed' from normal self interest.
I consider greed to be excess self interest that misses the larger picture and results in a worse outcome for all in the long run.
Enlightened self interest says I can benefit more over time by not trying to brutally screw everyone else in the world in the near term.
I own a hefty chunk of GSK stock, so I will find out first hand how this plays out financially in the long run.

Will the notebook do 0.5 terahamsters past light speed?
I will not make an Amiga or OS/2 binary for Vim 7.2.
Why not? Then you would have an editor as antiquated as the OS it runs on.
Ooooh! BURRRRN!
Years ago I saw a US Air Force training document refer to "Ohm's Three Laws". :P
V=IR, I=V/R, and R=V/I.
That could also apply to the Inquirer (www.theinquirer.net). My comment about speculation on rumors: Let's face it, it can be entertaining.
