    No I don't really think so, in fact I belive it just proves the point of the article more. Dictionary.com defines irony as such irony Audio pronunciation of "irony" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (r-n, r-) n. pl. ironies 1. 1. The use of words to express something different from and often opposite to their literal meaning. 2. An expression or utterance marked by a deliberate contrast between apparent and intended meaning. 3. A literary style employing such contrasts for humorous or rhetorical effect. See Synonyms at wit1. 2. 1. Incongruity between what might be expected and what actually occurs: "Hyde noted the irony of Ireland's copying the nation she most hated" (Richard Kain). 2. An occurrence, result, or circumstance notable for such incongruity. See Usage Note at ironic.

  2. Re:problem with assumption on PC Users Fight Distractions to Work · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'd have to agree with the fact people want to increase productivity when they buy a new pc. Working at a rather large ISP I get calls all the time from people who've purchased a new pc due to the slowness of the other and within a few weeks the new machine is running like garbage because of spyware etc that they want me to fix. Ad-aware/Spy-bot anyone?

    Hey HL2 looks great running on my nVidia 4800TI at 1024x768 don't see any reason why a new console shouldn't be able to do the same as that.
