Now, if we just harness this transistor's energy to the warp drive, we can produce a warp bubble 3 times the size. And with just a few modifications to the quad-polar phaser array the computer will be able to crash much faster!...
Instead of playing video games, let them play online gambling for a while. Then they'll see the real value of money (which they will loose of course, but for a good cause!), and as a result will WANT to study harder and better so they can earn more money when they grow up...... and then spend MORE money on online gambling.
So, you are telling me there is no gambling problems in Europe.
No, that is NOT what I'm saying. Of course there are people who are addicted to gambling and that's hurting them and the people surrounding them. But the general public doesn't think of gambling only as a bad thing, they also see it as entertainment.
Let me exaggerate a bit, and compare gambling in Britain to drugs in the Netherlands. Around the world, drugs are considered bad and wrong, no matter what kind of drug it is ("Drugs are baaad", said Mr. Garrison), but in the Netherlands there are laws the permit the use of certain drugs under certain laws. Of course there are still those who suffer from drug addictions there, but there are those who use them in a sensible way for fun.
Why does the American government insist on being different from the rest of the world? Why do they try to be so self-righteous?
In Europe, online gambling is very much accepted, and doesn't interfere with all the land-based casinos that spread all across Europe. They make enough money as it is.
888.com is very popular in Britain, for example. And people there don't see it as an addictive thing that should be banned, but rather as a way to get some entertainment. Instead of going out to a movie and dinner, you can enjoy a quick game of blackjack or roulette, and make sure to limit yourself to $50 or whatever your budget is. If you lose it - you lose it, and that's it. It's just like spending the same money on some other form of entertainment.
A monkey controlled by scientists via a banana-operated helmet, will attempt to swim all the way from Europe to the States in 3 days, with a bag of potatoes in his mouth.
This is done as part of a project to develop self-sufficient monkeys that will deliver groceries for old ladies on the future colonies on the Moon and Mars
Hey, maybe those stupid aliens just never heard about viruses. Maybe their species aren't as greedy as ours, so they don't need to create viruses, and then create the anti-viruses to sell to the public, like we humans do! =)
Cheating at roulette is a myth - Xena is more real than that.
Instead of trying to cheat, I recommend first applying a few simple methods that will increase your odds.
I say - let them approve this device. It won't work anyway...

I'm just saying, it's something that I'm gonna remember for ever! Well, at least until I'm senile.
Bad memories are memories too, you know! They have rights!
I'd hire Bill Shatner to sing me a "happy birthday" song. Will be worth every penny (or quatloo)!

But it will still be full of viruses.

Oh, forgot - online gambling is now illegal... nm then.

By the way, Italy is apparently about to legalize online gambling too, so how about that?

I don't know. Seemed... logical :-P

Point taken :)
Where is the law in these cases?
I'm sure there are ways to know who the hacker is, so why don't they use the information to catch the criminals and put them on trial?
As I said, this is a matter of personal convenience. I find their interface easy to use and their search quick and efficient.
It's one of those things you just get used to doing, and it's hard to move on to something else.
I actually started using Torrentz a while ago, but I couldn't get used to it's interface.
It's like when AltaVista was THE search engine and then came along Google. It took me some time until I really abandoned AltaVista.

Wait until Gates hears about this. He will then offer $5,000,000 for whoever brings him the best plan of getting rid of Open Source fanatics :-D
