You have to realize that Llanfair PG created that name soley for the privelidge of having a very long name.
And regarding your sig as it currently is, Homer looks like Krusty because originally there was going to be some sort of plot about how Bart didn't respect his father, but respected a clown who looked just like him. Didn't pan out, but they kept the character.
There is no official way to make a word part of the English language, except that when people use it people tend to not mind or be confused. Although the OED accepting it is a pretty good sign that it's a strong part of the English language.
Wikipedia has a history feature. The history will not change so just add the date you accessed it on. Something like:

Frodo was 51 when he began his quest, like Bilbo, but he had had the ring preventing him from aging (at least partially) since he was 33 and thusly looked younger than Bilbo did during "The Hobbit."
The comparisons to ruining a painting or wrecking a car would be comparable to this, yes. But you never really "own" your character or your equipment in a game. It's all imaginary and thus you never own anything at all except the PRIVILEGE to use it. Unlike the car or the painting, which you do own yourself. Having your character and all your items deleted by an admin is something you can't do much against, considering it's their computer and their data.
What's own? Property is a social construct. Nothing more. MMORPGs are comprised of a bunch of other social constructs, although ones which are far less binding than those of the "Real World."
Yes, but there's other variables than just the mean monetary payoff. (Which is usually negative.) For one, some people get an inherent pleasure out of gambling itself. Secondly, some people value "a million dollars" more than a million times the value of "one dollar." Which isn't entirely idiotic, because cash value and true value (or utility) are not the same thing. (A sack full of 500 pennies is not worth the same amount as a five dollar bill.)

You control your muscles with your thoughts. And yet people don't just randomly flail their arms around. Clearly, the robotic stuff would clearly become an extension of your body after a while.
Yeah, okay, that sounds about right. It's just that in the introduction to the comic, it says that the comic book artist wanted to change it to Cel Phones to update it, and Adams told him off. Ahh... maybe Adams just isn't keen on people "updating" his stuff.

Wicked is grammatically correct, although slangy. Wicked is an adverb in some areas, notably New England. See American Heritage Dictionary.

Do not confuse Fox with Fox News. They are different. Fox has the Simpsons, Fox News has Bill O'Reilly. Both are very funny, but very different.
Well, he was guessing, but OEMs pay a lot less than J. Average Consumer. Bulk pricing and all.

No, command.com emulates DOS. cmd.exe provides a shell for Windows almost but not entirely DOS-like.
But yeah, CLIs have been around for eons.
And Homestar Games.
Or, more practically, XFree86 of, which, as it happens, returns no porn.
Now, either porn sites have something against prepositions, or Microsoft is doing something funny.

Intuitionist Logic is for people who want to troll sci.math. It serves no other purpose.
OH NOES!!!11 T3h storie is ten days old! We are doomed!
Pfft. Who cares? It's still news to us. People seem to care. What's the problem?

And what's that site running?
It looks like FreeBSD, although until today they've running IIS 4.0 on Microsoft NT4 or 98. Which is... interesting, to say the least.
Akira too. The Matrix is clearly just a live action recreation of about four Anime.
Ctrl+Tab/Ctrl+Shift+Tab, at least in Windows. But Ctrl+PgUp and Ctrl+PgDn also work.
As Douglas Adams has pointed out, no one writes jokes in Base-13.

I don't see what Douglas Adams's problem with digital watches was. They are slightly cheaper, easier to read, and capable of having alarms in them.
Yes yes, of course. I was trying to remember that movie when I was writing that post.
Some characters make sense to be given American accents. The hip playboy President of the Galaxy is one of them.
Be fair. Jim was good in The Cable Guy.
