To me, watching soccer doesn't seam like entertainment. Look at when a couple of kids are kicking ball at the school yard, do you see people watching the action? No, those who are interrested in the game wants to jump in too.
However, i DO enyoy watching Starcraft matches, to learn from the masters and to watch spectacular moves. There's definitely a market for theese events, perhaps even a bigger market than for minor sports like tennis or pool.
But still, stealing money in a game of monopoly is against the rules of the game. This guy didn't violate any game rules, so the money (worth about $200k on ebay (?)), was legally earned. In other words: Nothing to see here, move along.

Explosive will heat up the comet, leave pollution, and make analysis of the dust very hard....
In fact, it IS going to fall. The ISS is falling slowly as we speak...there is tiny air-resistance that slows the space-station down, and will make it fall ultimately unless it gets pushed back into orbit regulary by a spacecraft.
Couldn't they use muscle-power to help keeping the space station in orbit though? Throwing trash in the direction of the earth during spacewalks would give the station a slight upwards push...and the thrash would fall and burn in the atmosphere (would take a while though, and the the pushes would'nt be enough).
Another optoin would be to arrange the junk as a shield around the station, protecting it from debris...:)
So....you take lossy, encoded audio and run it through some outdated amplifier technology, and you get good sound?
Does this mean that my burnt food will taste good with a diguisting sauce?...Or that windows will run just fine on faulty hardware?...Or that ugly geeks get more chicks than people that are just geeks or ugly?
