Some cultures would also go for the argument that the universe and a complex, intelligent, powerful creature are one and the same, rather than being separate. No need to limit ourselves to Western philosophies.
If it brought gaming to the masses, then I'd say that it has cultural significance, since people carry culture. So what we have here is an elitist list whose validity I seriously question.
Our company has the usual vacation days based upon your years of service, but no sick days. If you're sick, you just don't come in. That removes the temptation of having to "use up" your sick days.
I have no desire to ever get a VOIP service since I think landlines are antiquated. Nonetheless, this might steer me away from getting Verizon's fiber optic service installed in the house I'm about to buy. I was going to get their 10mbps plan for $40/mo, an Akimbo IPTV subscription for $10 and an inexpensive PC with Windows Media Center and just thumb my nose at getting a cable modem and cable TV. Now, I might just stick with cable service in the new place.
My friend made a similar comment about the original Star Wars..."Imagine if Luke, Leia and Han Solo got crushed in the garbage compactor in the Death Star--end film. Best. Movie. Ever."
"But the Xbox 360, through its Xbox Live service, is building something equally compelling: a celestial arcade, where casual and hard-core gamers alike can connect over the Internet and find like-minded souls."
You don't even have to "find" people...and being an incredibly busy anti-socialite, I simply don't have the time or desire to make friends online for video games. I purchased "Small Arms" for $6.25 on XBLA...it's like Super Smash Bros., but with furries, guns and explosives (and no yiffing). I started an online match and in seconds I had 3 other people playing on my system.
The $440 million came from its parent company. My friend works in a CompUSA and received a memo about the cash infusion a couple weeks ago. He asked me if that meant there was anything to worry about and I said "no, don't worry, that means they're investing more the expand the business, it happens all the time." So, this morning I got a phone call..."hey, remember when you said not to worry?!"
Here is some hot news for you...almost all of the inventory is going up on eBay for pennies on the dollar.
1. My dad has one and hates how he feels "tied to his office."
2. A co-worker was very annoyed when her husband was checking it for mail while on vacation. A desire to "see if it can be skipped across the Pacific" was expressed.
"...but they could also be used by a governments or other entities to 'dust' crowds or areas, easily tagging anyone present without their knowledge or consent."
Because someone (probably on Slashdot) will inevitably complain that MS publishing their own manuals unfairly cuts into third party competition, naturally! See: web browsers, media players, antivirus, firewall software, etc.

I can already envision Mario banging his shoe on the podium at the next E3.
On the other hand, this opens up a whole new world of cat Photoshop opportunities on Fark.com.

Wow, I would kill users 2 through 49,494 just to give you a Funny mod point.

"That's probably because that judge knows a load of bullshit when he hears it."

The judge was probably pissed because his regular delivery didn't arrive

They want it to be this way by design.

Yeah, but who's going to start off an auction at $0.00?

If Wil Wheaton had made this post, Taco would have upped the Funny mod up to 6, just for him.
There is no such thing as an "unfinished" product. They're defective out-the-door.
So you must really be getting a kick from this thread.
Can you blame them?
That's true, but he was spot-on with the Bill Hicks quote.

As we all know, you can't dust for vomit.

That's $472,675 per year, or, in Google's accounting terms, $0 after rounding to the nearest million.

Hmm, thinking in terms of absolutes? That's Sith-thinking right there, sounds like you're well on your way!
