YOGURT: Merchandising. Come. I'll show. Open up this door. Ha, ha, ha, come. Walk this way. Take a look. We put the pictures name on everything. Merchandising. Merchandising.

These days, I think there's more spambots than players though.
They're not only annoying, they're badly coded. They enter a game, spew their crap and then leave in less than one second. Lags the game to hell, annoys all the players.
The worst part is: five seconds later, another spambots enters the game and spew the SAME crap again. And then you get a bonus spambot spewing crap for another website three seconds later.
Don't play the GameCube versions of Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 2. Get yourself the Metroid Prime Trilogy for the Wii. The 1st and 2nd game have been upgraded (graphics, controls, etc).
WMA is NOT supported on Apple devices. On Windows, iTunes will convert WMA files to something else (AAC, Apple Lossless, MP3) before transferring it to your iPod/iPhone/iPad.
Also, you can add non-DRM'ed video media. It just needs to be in either MPEG-4 or H.264, though you have to watch which compression features you use, not all devices support all features (ex: the AppleTV supports more advanced compression features than the first generation iPod touch, etc).
It's more about giving work to local businesses. And Montreal has more than enough bandwidth and ends up having a lower latency for the visitors who are mostly from Quebec and Canada (targets of our clients).
If you're American, would you buy Canadian potatoes or Idaho potatoes? Supporting your local* economy is important.
* local takes on a new meaning once you take the whole planet into account.
Ruby and/or Rails sucks because: 8. None of the local web hosting services offer it except in their most expensive packages, all we get for the low-cost packages is XSSI, PHP and Perl.
PNG only became popular well after the GIF patents were over. It needed proper support (i.e. alpha support) from the most popular browser (Internet Explorer) before people could use it.
The fact that Adobe programs add bloat to the file size of PNG files didn't help matters, not to mention the whole gamma correction problems between what Adobe added to the files and what the browsers supported.
If you use Mac OS X, ImageOptim is a great PNG tool for both reducing file size and removing gamma correction metadata.
H.264, on the other hand, is already used everywhere and has hardware decode support in a lot of devices. Those same devices probably wouldn't be able to decode Theora in software and even if they could their battery life would be so much shorter that people wouldn't even bother with Theora anyway.

Dying of hunger and boredom isn't suicide.
Never mind that. What's a phone?
Wait, never mind that either... what's a book?!
Actually the porn industry should sue the RIAA and MPAA since they keep screwing the end-users.
I don't like hosting stuff in the Cloud. When it's too hot in the summer the data just evaporates.
Only if the weapon is a xylophone.
But they make very good arcade joysticks and buttons (if it's the same Sanwa).

If anyone has been playing Diablo 2, then you know how annoying spambots have been lately.
Will this "revamped Battle.net" stop them or will they continue to rouin the game?
Okay, now THAT deserves a +5, Funny.
What's funny is that in racing, DNF means "Did Not Finish".

Wow, a huge three years between games.
You guys never played Zelda, Metroid, Diablo or StarCraft, have you?

You forgot the "local" part. In my case it needs to be in Quebec, Canada.

Surely you jest!
So, the NSA finally classified Sony as terrorists?
