Whilst its not actually explicitly against most online poker sites terms and conditions, I forsee this contributing to the problem of bot users on poker sites. As it is at the moment they are considered a problem amongst the low level players. Suppose a really good AI is invented. Whilst we wont know we are playing against a bot it will be making 100% correct decisions without the user having to do anything. Leave a few of them running over night and some people are going to get absolutely fleeced... by artificial intelligence. I dont approve.
I play a lot of online poker (about 10-12 hours a week) and consider to myself to be a good player, regularly winning $30 tournaments and even have a couple of multi table wins under my belt.
I go out to the Grovesner Casino in Great Yarmouth (England) a few times occasionally and have won the tournaments there simply by playing out the odds, and always starring at my chips, not playing with them at all, and just doing everything like a robot, thus giving away hopefully no tells! Perhaps I would have less success at a major tournament but certainly on a social level those odds calculating and keeping a steady game and not going on a "tilt" can definately make you win.
As some servers check to see if you actually have a real address (ie by seeing if it bounces or not), I just use asd@aol.com as I am fairly confident that there is an AOL address with just about anything in front. It is also quick to type so if you want to register for something several times you can do
If you're trying to get them on the cheap you're gonna get caught out. Try Staceys down the road if you want affordable and quality, get a hell of a good bang for your buck, and some more (if you pay)

My mum was constantly contacting me on MSN saying things like "breakfast is ready!" or "lunch is ready!" or the worst one, "dinner is ready!". It got to the point that I blocked her. My sister and my mum are always chatting with each other though and they exchange various clothes websites with each other etc and take up double my bandwidth instead of just sitting round one computer and looking! *sigh*
Professional gaming can not work whilst there is not one single thing for the players to concentrate on. Physical sports such as football (soccer), rugby, basketball, baseball, nearly any ball sport all succeed because at any one time spectators have something main to concentrate on all the time, the ball. I have played online games such as Counter Strike and it is impossible for it to succeed as there are too many things to watch at any one time. For instance, one team launches an attack, x player does an amazing shot on someone, but you miss it because you can't just concentrate on that player where as in a game of football, Thierry Henry scoring a 35 yard free kick would be seen as the spectator will be concentrating on the ball and what is going to happen next. If they could make a game that was really exciting to play but just mainly concentrated on a certain thing happening (ball going into goal for instance) then professional gaming may have a chance in becoming a sport. Until then it is impossible to happen as spectators cannot concentrate on any one thing.
The best games to get people to come in (assuming you're in the US) are going to be games like Half Life (with all the mods - CS, TFC, DoD, FLF, etc, etc), Quake 3, UT2k3, other FPS go down very well, you might also want to throw stuff like ICQ, MSN etc onto the computers, many people use them regularly as an essential.
You may also want to find some RTS games (Real Time Strategy), stuff like Command and Conquer etc, they are very fun over a LAN as well as over the internet.

They omitted the "Use a Mac if you're an uptight self-concious bellend" option
