i remember when the pregame show was just an hour before the game started. then it grew to two. and soon it had reached six. that was starting to seem a little excessive. but this year, i think the pregame show started on wednesday. when is enough, enough?
Your missing the point. The reason that music cds are over priced is that of that $15 only about $1.36 goes to cover the physical stuff that you get and the money that the artist gets. it is the middle man that is getting the remaining $13.64, and that seems a tad overpriced to me.
"I also sent e-mails (and one fax) to the Representatives and Senators of my state (Indiana) on this same topic and received responses similar to those I had received from the others (terrorists are bad, mmmkay?)
Last week, in response to another request from the EFF, I sent snail-mail letters to my Senators and Representative concerning the SSSCA. This time I received a two page, snail-mail form letter reiterating that terrorists are still bad, which doesn't seem to have anything to do with the SSSCA."
They usually won't give you your money back (at least not at first), but most stores will exchange a defective cd/game/dvd for an IDENTICAL one. After returning the 2nd or 3rd copy of the same cd/game/dvd you tell them that it is a problem with ALL cds/games/dvds of this title and that you will go through and try and return every one they have in the store if they make you. Eventually they will give you your money back.

It is looking a little slow already. So in case it goes down, here is a link to the google cache.
hell, they even did this on MacGyver back in the day.
judging by the quick slashdotting, there must be a lot of unemployed geeks out there.
Not that it really matters. If they ever actually win a judgement, MS will just buy them.

i think it is just like skipping stones, it just requires more arm strength.

so, is this a way for all those afganistan boys to power their c64's they surf the web with?
I was under the impression that "concept" was only used to refer to molded plastic... but since i can't get to the article, i may be wrong.
you mean this story?
yeah, everything we ever needed to know about archaeology we learned from watching Indiana Jones :).
Yeah, a friend of mine once swung a mike stand (rather heavy base) at a monitor and it had no effect whatsoever.

He did snailmail his congressmen.
um, if you look at the story all of it is the submitter's comments (note the italics). none of it is actually cmdrtaco's comments.

I thought it was just another slashdot misspelling and he had meant to say philosophy.
