I also miss the look on the faces of sales people when as a kid in the 80's I'd buy a game for my 2600 using an assortment of nickels, pennies, and dimes.
The allowance of months for a Combat cartridge!
I too spent pocket change on cartridges, but not until my high school days. Overstock and reject games could be found at the Dollar Store for 99 cents, $1.04 after tax. I easily doubled the size of my collection for less than it would take to buy one of today's games off of the bargain table.
Mod parent up. It's probably one of the most telling replies so far.
That being said, I'd bet that pure hits for a phrase mean absolutely nothing. "Life is short, play hard" is a corporate motto. This should be static just by its very nature. Unless you check the FULL CONTENT of each and every page, you won't be able to tell how much a site has really changed.

Actually, the real point of the device is to keep kids from walking off with Mommy or Daddy's Palm and dipping it in a jar full of jelly, or putting it in the fish tank to showy Goldie what they drew.
Not every IT Dept. is perfect- Lord knows ours isn't, and at least 3 virii have made it through in the past 12 months, causing a complete shutdown of the email system here for a total of 7 working days. Since there is tangible damage, and tons of lost time and money are spent fixing it, it no longer is a "scare." It's the real thing.
Move the "In response to a complaint we received under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, we have removed one result(s) from this page. If you wish, you may read the D.M.C.A. complaint for these removed results." notification to the TOP of the page.
... in the private sector, but now you too can have your very own civil service job!
(Disclaimer- does not include complimentary Krispy Kremes or roller hockey on lunch breaks. May require excessive time spent in dimly-lit basement cubes or former janitorial closets.)
From the number of nasty replies, I have to wonder how many ppl are at work as they reply to this, while I sit home on my PC with the NHL playoffs on the TV in the background.
Simple fact is, everyone needs a little break now and then. Look how many people spend hours a day here on slashdot. Gaming or looking at slashdot- either way you're still not doing "work", so get off of your high horses already.

"This paper reports our experimental work in using commercial secure coprocessors to control access to private data. In our initial project, we look at archived network traffc. We seek to protect the privacy rights of a large population of data producers by restricting computation on a central authority's machine. The coprocessor approach provides more exibility and assurance in specifying and enforcing access policy than purely cryptographic schemes. This work extends to other application domains, such as distributing and sharing academic research data.This paper reports our experimental work in using commercial secure coprocessors to control access to private data.

FWIW, the Overlord messages of which you speak-
"Les sanglots longs des violons de l'automne
Blessent mon coeur d'une langueur monotone."
(which roughly translates to
"The long sob of the violins of autumn
wound my heart with a monotonous langour")
-are from Verlaine's poem "Chanson d'Automne" ("Song fo Autumn").
He covered that base already-
"DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present inventor has created, through experimentation on a standard swing, a new and improved method of swinging. The swing is of the type described above, in which a seat is suspended between two chains that are hung from a substantially horizontal tree branch. As is apparent to those of ordinary skill in the area of swinging, the chains could be replaced with ropes, cables, or the like, or the tree branch could be replaced with another substantially horizontal support such as a metal bar or pole.

About a week ago, I was greeted with a DL popup when accessing Yahoo!'s fantasy sports pages.
"You are downloaing the file
pop from media.fastclick.net"
Needless to say, I hit "Cancel", and have been doing so for the past week when checking my hockey roster. Our league will definitely be moving elsewhere next year.:-P
After the legal threats/. received about some of the Microsoft and $cientology comments, and a recent incident on another reefkeeping board, I think it's fairly safe to call it a trend.
It'll prolly get/.'d, but here it is- http://216.168.47.67/psw/Default.html
As an admin of another (unrelated) aquarium board, I find the trend disturbing, especially after some of the flamewars I've seen bashing suppliers on our and other boards.

Software giant Microsoft is no longer allowed to describe its operating systems and Internet browsers as "secure".
If they were truly smart, they would have sold banner ads before one of their employees submitted their site to /.

divine's press releases page is proud to announce that they're the "Named Fastest Growing Company on Network World 200". Their divine in the news page mentions none of this either. They are hiring I wonder if all of those jobs start at $60,000.01?

Umm, wouldn't someone like Angelina Jolie be a better choice?
