Parent is basically right. Having read nearly all of tthe comments there seem to be 4 main themes
1) get a console
2) get an emulator of a console, MAME or old-school platform
3) get a PC version of a console game (DDR, Lego Star Wars is one I recommend)
4) get a life
According to Wikipedia,
"The entire human genome occupies a total of just over 3 billion DNA base pairs, and has a data size of approximately 750 Megabytes[2], which is slightly larger than the capacity of a standard Compact Disc."
Don't put it on a CD when it's mapped! DMCA pwns all the numbers!
Sometimes imprinting goes awry before birth, leaving a normally silenced gene "on" or silencing one that should not be. ...
Now a question is how imprinting may be changed to reactivate an imprinted gene after birth.
a message that says AT&T doesn't really need Apple despite the iPhone's success
Pscht, yeah right... AT&T need Apple way more than Apple need AT&T. Apple's whole business model is built around early adopters, they have shedloads of goodwill from the whole iPhone rebates debacle, and this won't hurt their business one bit. AT&T are the ones who really stand to lose out.

According to Wikipedia, Switzerland has 7,500,000 inhabitants. If calc.exe serves correctly, 50,000 is less than 1% of the population - (assuming they all have the vote). How cool is that?.
Now, how do we get that without all the very suspicious gold, crazy women and high levels of gun-related domestic violence...
Er, yes, because this is not the main Google page for your country. It's a subpage.
Wow, http://www.google.nl/maps doesn't have an "I'm Feeling Lucky" either. Oh noes!
Heh. I once worked on servicedesk for a well known gases company, with global IT operating out of the UK. The servicedesk was exported to India.
A few months later I noticed in the news that the Indian firm to which the servicedesk had been outsourced had purchased a call-centre in Northern Ireland. My guess is the Geordie, Scottish, Worzel Gummidge, Scouse accents were too confusing. Oh, to listen in to some of those conversations...
Apparently that company has since brought IT back to the UK. The price of trying to save a few pennies...

Well, to quote the Wikipedia article on broadband, "Broadband is always a relative term, understood according to its context." So by definition if the context changes, the meaning will too.
Back in the day broadband was..? "Not dialup".. but times have changed. News: somehting is new! Wow..

What's that, mention Linux in a completely irrelevant context to get modded up? Yeah we know.. Uh, Microsoft sucks!
