Yes. That's right. Republicans want big government in your computer and want big government's hand in your wallet. Yes, but it seems a Republican brought our attention to this bill and the former Republican Majority Leader is complaining about it. Clearly a bolded generalization is in order here!
Brain Age's success doesn't come from being "ordinary," otherwise the myriad of chess, sudoku, and crossword games would have brought in massive sales. Its strength is derived from its accessibility and simplicity: not everyone has the time, energy, skills, or desire to learn complex building trees, resources management, or practice their trigger finger. Every man, woman, and child above the age of seven can add simple numbers, count objects, and match things. Further, the assigned tasks are short and mentally satisfying, not appealingly "ordinary."
No worries, man. If the sharks learn to burrow the substation chains should be able to handle it. Assuming Jeff Goldblum is managing those substations, that is.
the concept of getting paid to maintain a MySpace account is a complete mindfuck. At least to me. Are you really supposed to be paid $50,000 for confirming friends and doodling with HTML? Is this really the pinnacle of democratic civilization, the event we've been working towards for millenia? Have we finally as a species figured out how to defy the restrictive, natural order of things that demands work in exchange for food and effectively feed, clothe, and care for ourselves by clicking an "Add" button every once in a while?
If it runs on a computer, it can be hacked. If it can be hacked, it can and will be abused. This is an acceptable drawback for Slashdot polls, but elections have infinitely much more at stake.
Oh, for chrissake. I am getting so tired to people using that book as a political buzzword. Please stop citing it every time the government reminds you of its existence, I'm sure Orwell vomits a little every time someone uses "Big Brother" inappropriately (read: constantly).

"May Be Starcraft 2"? Yeah, it could also be "Starcraft Karoake Supernova Party" or "Warcraft Artbook Viewer Deluxe."
Seriously, who the hell put this thing on the front page?

Easy for you to say. You're on the outside looking in.
What about a dessert in the desert?
