Remember, Mitt Romney is currently trying to win the Republican nomination, not the presidential election. As such, he has to out-Republican all the other Republicans. If he wins, then he will change his strategy (and rhetoric) and try to appeal to a broader audience as he tries to win the presidency.
This implies flip-flopping. Unfortunately, it seems to be a very effective campaign strategy (perhaps because people have short memories?) and about the only way to win a presidency these days. The question is, what will he say after he wins the nomination?
Automatic Seat Belts. These have largely gone the way of the Dodo bird by now, thank goodness, but I still have a Mazda that has them except that they both quit working so now you have to sling the seatbelt over you as you get in the car. When they were working, they'd often hit you as they were going by. Bad idea.
There's a Simpsons episode where Homer sells something to Ned Flanders and the next day asks Ned for more money because Homer has since raised the price. I wish I could find a link. Very apropro.
"Anyone have some other feature they think might make online gaming better?"
1) Make a PC version. I much prefer a keyboard and mouse when playing first person shooters.
2) For the PC, make a text swear word censor feature. I don't want to listen to other players, but on the PC I would like to type comments and read comments. The user could create a local list of words they consider objectionable (like "shit" or whatever), and those words would appear censored, like "Holy $%#!".
I've used Total Recorder for years and I love it. I have used it to create unprotected versions of protected songs so that when I lose my license (which always happens), I don't lose the music.
Finally, someone said it! It bugs me to no end how programmers call themselves "Software Engineers" when every other kind of engineer (except maybe the guys that drive the trains) had to take a test and work under a licensed engineer for a certain period of time before assuming the title.

I'm going to be the first Earth sandwich maker in the USA by visiting "French Southern and Antarctic Lands", and Northern Montana. Looking for sponsors for this important trip. Please send money (cash only).
Luckily we have the Democratic party - motto "Having someone else wipe your arse for you is your constitutional right" - so hopefully this won't be an issue for long.

That's levitation, holmes!

Those without net connections will have to first pop in their internet on CD and then download the Wikipedia CD.

See tags for this negative article on Linux. Slashdot's anti-Microsoft prejudice is pathetic.
Their flash animation that is supposed to explain how psiphon works has got to be one of the all time worst flash animations EVER.

Dude, you're like the love god man!
In other news, the movie "The Return of the King" is released, thus completing the Lord of the Rings trilogy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lord_of_the_Rings :_The_Return_of_the_King
If you consider that comets cross the orbits of all the planets, then none of the planets qualify.
Cool! Where do I send my money?
