This isn't just about geeks and tech workers. It's also about those who don't have home net access, and thus have to use their work email addresses as their personal addresses. Not everyone has access to public access centers, and not everyone can afford a computer and ISP account. These people can only access email through their place of work. Should they have less rights just because they can't afford a computer of their own, or because they lack technical knowledge?
I'm proud that my country is actually looking out for citizen's rights to privacy and knowledge. Between this ruling and the CRTC's famous ruling to not try to control information on the Internet, I would argue that the Canadian government has a better track record than the US government does in these matters.
Done and done. One of these days I'm going to sort through all these nice quotes from/. I've collected and make a fortune file out of them.:)

All true. I'm just saying that Sony is insanely rich, and can basically do anything that pure money can let them do. They can't buy off either MS or Nintendo, who are also both insanely rich, but Sony can put together a hell of a media campaign, using every legal and borderline-legal trick they know.
Actually, I like the fact that the PS2 edged the DC out of the market, since I've got a DC. A lot of great DC games at the local Walmart were on clearance for around $10 each.:)
If you think that's impressive, check out Canada's Confederation Bridge. It's almost 13 kilometers long, and links the island province of Prince Edward Island to the mainland province of New Brunswick, on Canada's east coast. It was just completeled a few years ago, and threw quite a few ferryboat operators out of work.
GT was the first thing I thought of when I saw this article's title as well. But while racing games are perfectly suited for advertising, I'd be a little irritated to see ads for sedans or tampons during a UT session.

Nevermind...

I love that metaphor. I'm going to steal it sometime.

>Sony can't keep throwing money at PS2 forever.
:)
Yes they can. This is *Sony* we're talking about.
Oh no! I might not be able to play all those games from companies that signed exclusively with Nintendo, like... like... hmm.
Oh well, nevermind.

Dammit, that wacky Jim just keeps needed to compensate. Of course, with a moron like Kathy as his minion, I suppose he deserves it...
When you're talking about a star, there ain't much difference.
Amen from the highest fucking rooftops.
You can get a registration code for Opera by filling out this form, like the rest of us who want to support good commercial software on Linux.
*Space* station.
Nah, some of us prefer good old grease burgers at the local McHeartattack, or a good medium steak.
Besides, who eats plain pepperoni pizza? You've got to have spicy sausage and mushrooms and ground beef at the very least.
Wear Princess Leia's metal bikini. The girls will see that you're a sensitive new age guy who isn't afraid to be himself in public.
Either that, or dress up as Admiral Ackbar and start singing "Fish Heads".
Your hands must get awfully sore. How many RSI operations have you had lately?
Your ISP connection never, ever fails.
And I was worried that I was the only control freak left. ;)
>MacOS is also more stable than Win9x.
So what? The San Andreas fault line is more stable than Win9x. That's not a fair comparison.
Whenever I'm forced to use Word, I select everything, then copy to a newly opened Word window. Of course, YMMV.
You run Oprah? Wow. Isn't that the web browser that has its executable mysteriously grow and shrink seemingly at random?
Yousa seeming to writes a busy-ness wetter. Yousa needing me to:
- tripping and falling all overyer screen?
- wantings to auto-spellcheck?
Oh, I'm so going to hell now.
