No, I've seen some that are really funny. But they were made years ago, and they came up with funny stories and good jokes. This episode is just pandering to fanboys by throwing out as many references and injokes as they could in 30 minutes.
Like that closeup of the keyboard with the key permanently pressed in. I don't play world of warcraft so don't know what that's referencing, but I can just picture a million nerds ejaculating when they saw that.
That's supposed to be funny? A three year old could have come up with that joke.
I pine for the days when South Park, Family Guy, the Simpsons etc were still actually funny, but that era ended years ago. Now they just live off reputation, with fanboys fawning over every crap predictable joke.
What's funny about it? As a non-world of warcraft player all I could see was a load of references and jargon. All the jokes about how lame mmorpg players are were pretty predictable and obvious.
I suppose the warcraft players were creaming themselves in awe that their game was on TV, but if you look at it from a non-fanboy perspective it was a pretty crap episode, with a rather uninteresting plot and not many jokes.
I had more fun playing Goldeneye on N64 than I did playing any PC FPS. But then I'm more interested in actually having enjoying a game than spending all day configuring keybindings and optimising framerates.
If a school took advantage of the poor, another school who cares for the income would step up.
Each school can only take so many kids. Even if this 'another school' stepped up, once it was full, all the rest would still have to go to the shitty schools.
Anyone is free not to buy a PS3, or to make and sell a different console. In fact rumour has it there are two other companies making a similar product...
Yes, social interaction, atmosphere, making friends etc.
Not to mention, being able to look at any part of the field you want, not the very small section the director wants you to look at, or a closeup of some celebrity in the crowd, or some commercials, or an irrelevent replay from ten minutes ago, or some talking heads, or any other crap that gets in the way which is avoided by actually going to the game.
You can have the biggest resolution TVs in the world, it still won't count for anything until they invent a technology which allows you to see the entire field, all the time, completely uninterrupted. And no announcers.
It is their place to detain the person in question, using the absolute minimum amount of force necessary to get them tied up and in a car and off to proper judgement.
When you're dealing with scum like that, force is part of the detainment process. I see why no reason why they should use the absolute minimum force. When dealing with someone violently resisting arrest, you use the maximum force possible. You have to hammer them hard enough so they have no will left to resist.
It's simply not up to police to deal out punishment in a way they think fit.
With the way the court system is these days, the kicking in the van is often the only punishment these scumbags get.
Well merchants/manufacturers whatever, in a free market if they don't want to sell or maintain an old product then they have no obligation to do so. I don't see Ford selling Cortinas anymore.
In a free market, Windows XP would become cheaper and due to the fact that it's battle-tested, will probably be more desirable for some time, than Vista.
In a free market, a merchant can choose to stop selling something if he wants to sell something else instead.
Just how long it will be until a developer of one of those Open Source apps you love decides to utilise a cool element of the Aero interface, forgetting momentarily that not everyone has it.
You can't blame Microsoft for poor amateur coding. Oh wait maybe you can! But seriously it wouldn't be the first time an open source developer had forgotten or neglected something, and it's not the fault of anyone but said open-source developer.

1. Write down a load of world of warcraft references and in jokes.
2. Add a couple of toilet jokes.
3. Profit!
How does Westerners subsidising their own farmers stop third world countries producing enough food to sustain themselves?
Developing for the wiimote will add a lot of complication to game design.
Would there be room on that iceberg for all the people who watch it?
If the bits are of no value, why do you want them?
If for instance, a copy of Windows is worthless, why do you want to use it, why not write your own operating system?

It swims, it's got fins, it lives in the sea, yeah it's a fish.
I don't know what people at Pittsburgh would know about the medieval period, considering that town wasn't founded until centuries after.
1600 isn't medieval.
Except Linus generally keeps to himself, whereas RMS is constantly seeking attention.

A free market is about being able to trade your own good freely, not other people's!
Erm, no they can't, it's called trademark/copyright/patent infringement.
Well merchants/manufacturers whatever, in a free market if they don't want to sell or maintain an old product then they have no obligation to do so. I don't see Ford selling Cortinas anymore.
What is exactly forcing you to upgrade?
