This is the case in sweden too, if you sue someone and loose you'll have to pay the defendants legal fees. Which is pretty nice because it really cuts down on suing in general.
How about the people who think that the only way to make the 24 series justice is to watch it in one sitting? They will have no problem watching the 3 LOTR films in one sitting.
This is basicly what was done, all those internet friends these people had was suddenly ripped away from them. Considering the fact that they might not have had the phonenumbers to these friends in various countries around the world, they had no way of contacting them. Also their hobby was probably something like online gaming so that was ripped away too.
I used to be this way online, but when it started having a negative effect on my life, studies in particular. I cut down on my internet use a lot, however there was no real withdrawal effect because I did it by my own choise and I still could go online and chat whenever I felt like it. It would still suck to be without internet because I do have a lot of friends online.
Anyway if they still have the choise to go online the feeling of being disconnected wouldn't be so bad.
You have only scratched the surface of the masterplan. Remember the box for the PS3 you kept somewhere because it looked cool. Well seems to me like you just added a hiding place for Solid Snake in every home!
Lets just hope they picked something smaller than WinXP.

Lots of companies are putting lots of effort into developing these batteries. First cars that will see these batteries are probably cars that get used by companies in several cycles / day and stand in a garage in the night.
Like the postal companies cars, and other delivery vehicles for the local area.
Also vehicles that need lots of power will get hybrids. Diesel engine + electrical engine, that combo is MAD torque.
I believe it's sarcasm. Irony in itself isn't sarcastic, but sarcasm often includes irony.
He was obviously trying to make the poster look bad, mostly making himself look spiteful and easily offended.
sarcasm n.
1. A cutting, often ironic remark intended to wound.
2. A form of wit that is marked by the use of sarcastic language and is intended to make its victim the butt of contempt or ridicule.
The thing is, schools are starting to realize they don't "need" new computers for what they are teaching. Unless they are having classes that require lots of computing power. Most school computers get used for, writing papers, surfing the net, learning basic computing and in some cases a bit of programming. Universities and colleges are another matter though.
As far as I'm concerned it's a good thing the money can be used in other areas.

Duke Nukem!
come on. zip back 8-10 years and remember the blizz of playing that game.
It was too awesome!
I wish I could have a good old duke nukem match in Red Light District or the first map.
*calls some friends*
Makes you think twice about if your claim is valid or not doesn't it?

Mooseografy.
Well, duh!
Dr strangelove flashback in 3.. 2.. 1..
Quite possibly because Jackson is adding content, not altering their favourite scenes.

Beer? geez. Coffee lots and lots of coffee!
Better yet, IVs with caffeine! You would get an army of zombie coders!
That and a bonus program of strippers for successfuly completing milestones.
That's sad, all I hoped to do was make someone smile.
I do agree though duke nukem forever jokes have been done to death, but in this case I think it was pretty good.
Haha, yeah that's the stuff :)
You would be Duke Nukem, Forever!

There where undead slashdotters crawling around your ceiling?

I think it just went up quite a bit since the hosts realized their servers had been slashdotted.

Could be that exporting the kilowatts gives them a better price for them than selling them at home.
What are you talking about? He had a full 12 hours left to do lots of things!

A book can't really crash and nullify hours of work. It could of course contain faulty information.
I think he is thinking more along the lines of the breaks of a car malfunctioning. Someone is bound to get sued because of that.
It's like "I made this, but if it malfunctions it's not my fault, it's yours for using it."
He mentioned regional VP so my guess would be, BIG.
