Put up a site outing the names of every lawmaker that ever votes in favor of such a bill, and allow visitors to sign a petition pledging to vote against anybody that does so. Show the count on the site, and forward a list of those who signed to said lawmakers a week before any major vote on the issue. That should make them sweat.
Different strokes. I use mine on a fairly regular basis to perform administrative tasks using VPN, ssh, Remote Desktop, etc. It's not a laptop replacement, but when you're in the middle of nowhere, and suddenly have a database or web server spitting out errors, it can be a life-saver.
Granted, I've got plenty of games on there as well.
Try something else. Maybe that thrill will come back some day, but if it doesn't, have a plan B. You can stay in IT, but it doesn't need to be straight-up coding. There's always database design/administration, OLAP, etc.
But sometimes I get sick of it too. Then I come back after a month or two of focusing on other objectives, and whee!
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if that were really the case. (As far as the timing of the announcement, at least. I'm sure there are various reasons behind the decision.)

We made a toaster dance with it.
That's actually the prelude to I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream. AM was simply a pissed of Zangoose.

...All they wanted to do was play Angry Turds.
For example, I'd much rather find out that our database server failed at noon on a Sunday, as opposed to 8:00 AM the following Monday.
"Well, none of them got HIV, if that's what you're asking."
We simply send the monkeys out into the wild, and the ones that encounter large doses of radiation come back and tell us all about it.

You have to admit, finding your vehicle destroyed by an 18th century weapon would keep things from getting dull.
