These discarded computers should be:
1. Sent to prisons for prisoners to refurbish; the benefit is helps teach prisoners a new skill they can actually put to use upon release.
2. Send the refurbished computers to low-budget schools and underprivileged families; the benefit is obvious.
This way the consumers aren't charged a discard fee, some prisoners may learn a skill they can use to get a job so they won't be out of work and tempted to go back to crime, and some children may be given an additional fighting chance to make it in the world so they don't end up in prison.

You get modded to hell for speaking your mind around here, as you can tell by the Offtopic you just got. Too many people abuse the mod system here so it should be abandoned.

One person doing this is probably a nut, but a whole family? I wonder if they may be exposed to something leaking from the ground like radon gas does. Maybe health officials should be making them go in for a thorough exam.
You should get a +3 Funny for your sig alone. But with the way people moderate around here, I'm surprised you didn't get -30 Flamebait. I certainly know how that goes.
I wouldn't want to serve under him. I'd rather serve under a captain that would attempt a peaceful negotiation than some hot-head that pisses off a god and gets us all killed.

Jonah, I fear I can't resist a spoiler. As you may recall, Jar Jar became a senator in the last film. In the new one, he refuses the Majority Leader's request to change a galactic rule that is being misused to deny Obi-Wan Kenobi a seat on the Jedi Council, and as a direct result of his cowardice is swallowed whole by Jabba the Hut.

Just a thought.
Great, I look like Keith Richards compared to these guys.
They require us to use FF at work for internet browsing due to security concerns with IE.

Ah, so that's how Emperor Palpatine/Bill Gates came into power.
That would explain the shitty holographic communications thingy.

At first, I thought you'd linked to fags.org....was like "wtf?".
I need CowboyNeal's mailing address to send him the shit I don't give about this.
Where's the fork and knife to stab my eyes and eardrums out with? Cleese and Shatner should just fuck each other and get it over with.
If it's Shatner, it's automatically funny.
Until you get to Hell and find out you have to spend eternity listening to him sing Stairway to Heaven.

Picard=Clinton
Sisko=Bush
Damn....who was that alcoholic captain in TOS? The episode that had the planet eating giant cigar. He was cool.
Hate to tell you this, Gigle was my last "excuse" to skip work. Ok, so it was the hangover Sunday.....Monday....what's today?

Holly was always like HALs young, lazy alcoholic brother that never did quite fit in anywhere.
Can't, its been slashdotted.
So he wears "Gatesux" t-shirts to work?
Hate to tell you this, but this has been a dupe since the 30's.
But on what computer hardware would that have been running on?
