  1. U.S. Department of Labor says the same thing on Battle of the Ages; Stereotypes Collide · · Score: 3, Interesting

    http://www.bls.gov/search/ooh.asp?ct=OOH

    Pick just about any job and in the listing you'll find something like this:

    Employment of XXXXX is expected to grow about as fast as the average for all occupations over the 2002-12 period. However, job opportunities are expected to be very good because a large number of XXXXX are expected to retire in the coming decade, creating many job openings.

    Does anyone truly believe this? No. The only group of people that typically exploit this figure is someone trying to sell you something.

  2. No thanks to Verizon on Report: Broadband In US Homes Nearly 20 Percent · · Score: 1

    Contractors broke a gas line this weekend laying cable in Tampa. At least it wasn't sewage this time.

  3. Re:Low end market on AMD Releases Sempron Earlier Than Expected · · Score: 5, Informative

    Why start now? It's been well documented that 1.6 Durons are better performers than Celerons for half the price.

  4. Re:Dish will get sued and lose on Viacom and DishNetwork Battle On Air Over Contract · · Score: 1

    I was quite annoyed with the black bars too but my view is that if Viacom has a gripe with it they should pay for commercial time instead of scrolling their complaints every 10 minutes.

  5. Re:RIP Personal Responsibility on Take-Two Interactive and Sony Sued Over GTA · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Aren't games that are rated mature supposed to be only purchased my adults? Can we then safely assume the childrens parents bought the game?

    I've actually heard a mother in EB say something along the lines of "I'll be mother of the year when I buy my child this game" when buying GTA3.

  6. You forgot "Great Brain Robbery" on Cheapass Games On Being Cheap And Good · · Score: 1

    Got to play it last friday with a bunch of friends. The only bad thing about some of the Cheapass Games is that with many of the games there's a strategy that will almost always let you win.
