This is/., so I would have guessed that the Best Console Controller of All Time would be the one between your legs - guys *and* girls - though it probably only controls the video games in your head...
I'm not sure how it would rate against the following point though:
What controllers have not left your hands cramped after a marathon session of gaming?
I'm a 42 year old Unix Admin and Software Engineer, so I'm comfortable with technology. I do have a cell phone, but almost never use it. I pay $10/month and have it for emergencies or occasional use.
I'm not interested in being available all the time, or talking while driving, eating, or whatever. People who need to contact me have my work and home numbers and can leave a message if I'm not there.
While I'll agree cell phones can be useful, their (general) necessity is overrated.
...I would say that heavily serialized shows just aren't everyone's cup of tea, because they require committment.... Watching a SF show like BSG, Firefly, Babylon 5,...
I was punished for using a Linux LiveCD to login to their computers without using a password, even after I told the admins how to disable booting from CD-ROMs. They refused to update any of the computers and as such I was using the same tactic till the day I graduated.
I'm sure you were violating some rule or terms of use, but because they didn't physically prevent you from breaking said rule, you though it's OK to do so anyway. Just because you can break a rule, doesn't mean you should.
I guess if I leave my front door unlocked, you'd think it was OK to enter uninvited? I think not.
People, please don't berate about my responsibility to keep things locked up to keep them secure. I'm talking about his personal responsibility, as a good citizen, to voluntarily follow the rules of his society or school.
You know, "do unto others as you'd like them to do unto you"...
Researchers from the IBM Almaden research lab and the University of Nevada have created a simulation of half a mouse brain on the BlueGene L supercomputer.
I would imagine a Beowulf Cluster of these, but I want to be able to sleep tonight...
Rigel's bored, "Wormhole. Normal space. Wormhole." So instead, and considering slashdot's current technical problems, how about something more obscure.
Ask and ye shall receive...
Towns, rivers, palaces,
all mixed up in an inextricable whirl.
Over there, Miss Honeychurch,
the villa of my dear friend Lady Laverstock,
at present busy with a Fra Angelico definitive study.
And, on your left - no, just there -
Mr. Henry Burridge lives.
- A Room With a View
Merchant-Ivory fans will need no explaination, but in case the relevance isn't obvious, the scene is an open carriage ride through the country with Mr. Emerson showing the sights to Miss Honeychurch, "...and on your left..."

May he go to that special hell reserved for child molesters and people that talk at the theater...stocked with a shiny new Blu-Ray player and a stack of Sony discs that just won't play.

...but every time I see a story about Estonia, I always think Elbonia. My apologies to both Scott Adams and the people of Elb^h^hstonia.
How much to donate books? I can get my hands on few by Ann Coulter :-)
Wouldn't you know it; the most important story wasn't even listed!
It all started back when +++ATHSHHSY&#^^# NO CARRIER
Do not try and list the patents... that's impossible.
Instead only try to realize the truth... There is no list.
I'm not sure how it would rate against the following point though:
Bender, is that you?

Now stop TXTing on my lawn!
Or Farscape.
I'll take "Animal Genitalia, Audio Clues", for $600 Alex.
[Thank you Colin Mochrie, Who's Line is it Anyway?]
I predict many will taste like chicken (including us). :-P
[ Now picture Jon Stewart saying this while :-)
impersonating either Sen. Ted Stevens or President Bush. ]
Of course, he means 4.3BSD.
[Now get offa my lawn youngster!]
Why don't you tell this story at your next job interview? Let me know how it goes... :-)

I'm guessing Digg won't hire him to handle their HD-DVD articles...
Unfortunately, I hear the surviving test patients all had strange cravings for "brains" after reviving. George Romero was called in to consult...
It's called a stage play. Check one out; the 3-D is *amazing*. The special effects, not so much...
I would imagine a Beowulf Cluster of these, but I want to be able to sleep tonight...
