Yeesh. A post about Canadian Piracy, and no one's mentioned The Arrogant Worms yet? Shameful.
A bridge outside of Moosejaw spans a mighty river;
Farmers cross in so much fear their stomachs are a-quiver;
'cause they know that TRACTOR JACK! is hiding in the bay;
I'll jump the bridge and knock;em cold and sail off with their haaaaay!
It's all in how you market it, really. If you just say "book burning," people shy away. But if I was offering to "thermally reduce your books for ease of storage," it doesn't sound so bad!:D
It was all about "Third Planet from Altair," what with the co*spoiler*ke*spoiler*ca*spoiler*n on the last page. Sure, it's predictable now, but it blows your mind when you're four!

That's not one of the ones coming out again... is it?
I worked for a certain ISP signing people up for service, and if we were having computer problems, like a crash or something, we were told to tell customers that we were "upgrading" our system to provide "better customer service in the future". Which of course is a lie, because the network just sucked and was slow as crap, and the computer would crash and reboot all the time.
Nonsense! "Working" is definitely an upgrade from "not working."
But yeah. I'm not sure how they're going to manage to get IE7 to completely replace IE6 on an XP machine without it going into Explorer. Maybe IE6 will just have its named change to "Explorer component 6" or something when you install IE7. So yeah; spin.
People more persuasive than I could try to argue that writing a check for money that you don't have (even if you will soon) could constitute fraud. Strictly speaking, you're supposed to have the money in the account when you write the check, which is a promise of money.
Z4 didn't just disappear. He'll show up again as Player X! And, after every race, he'll say something obvious, like "Z5, I'm not sure *who* your brother is."
I worked at a Maryland-area Gamestop when the N-Gage came out. About 3 weeks after the release, we had our first visit from an N-Gage rep. He seemed to have quite a bit of energy, and spewed the typical "we rule, Game Boy sucks" speech, with little acctual details. Within another month, he was gone, replaced by this woman who reminded me of Hyacinth from "Keeping Up Appearances". By the end of the year, she was replaced by this thin redheaded guy of near-40, who was very timid. He straight asked us what *we* would do, if we were Nokia, to improve the system's image.
The specs on the system didn't kill it in my mind. The unimpressive games didn't do it. It was the fact that the Nokia representatives, who had an abnormally high turnover rate, seemed to rapidly grow more desperate. It was a pathetic sight that officially killed the system for us.
(Addendum: I kinda feel sorry for the 12-year old kid who traded in his Xbox and PS2 to pre-order an N-Gage, but he seemed to have no regrets...)
Wow. 11 full posts devoted to knocking a man's spelling. That's... speicial. -- (intentionally spelled wrong)
But yeah; something does appear to be a bit rotten around the land of the Danes. It doesn't seem off-the-wall that HP would need a bit of a push, wither; it's been quite awhile for both books and movies. Attention grabs like this aren't out of laine. = Also intentionally spelled wrong.

Maybe its a misprint, and it's supposed to be 600 ft/min?
I'm holding out for Sanctimonious Sloth, though I may break down somewhere around Insensitive Iguana.

It shouldn't be too hard. You'd pretty much just rig up the switch to a target, and fire away.
(If you really want to, you could also shape it like an animal/person, and fill it with stage blood.)

Now where's that Offtopic mod...
...when are we gonna start seeing book burning kiosks?

The 5.4 million years ago figure is definitely inaccurate... make it 5.4 minutes.

I dunno about you, but I already develop strong hands watching porn.
Mind you, it's April 1 in Europe, I think.

Nono, I understand what he was saying; he more-than-loves Mozilla. Y'know... since 3 is more than 3 . Brilliant!
Wait... AIME/MSN isn't ko0l? ...damn.

Doritos are overrated. I'm using a Pringles 64 3200+ (SourCream build). It rocks, and only set me back $2.39!
Actually, 1 yen is closer to 83% of one cent, not 83 cents. I also like mooses.

It's true. I was Mr. Dursley. :)
