I would mod you up if I had points, but I don't, so I will reply to the "Off Topic" Post.
I agree with this post. Granted we are starting to see people start to care about the environment a bit more. That's nice. Even if they are doing it for the wrong reason, the benefits are good. Less pollution over cities, less health related problems. I could care less if the polar bear sees a difference, I care that my daughter will have clean water 20 years from now and not have to wear a mask like those in China or Japan or where ever they do that.
Clean energy for us,; not for the super rare 3 footed, red breasted, living in a 2 square foot environment, no one cares about Preebles jumping mouse that we have to build the highway 4 miles away from.
I wish they were all text based browers. All those damn pics are clogging the interweb tubes. And never mind the movies, that just makes all the magic gnomes backs hurt carrying those to all corners of the world in the tiny tubes.
I bet in about 200 years, as long as CERN doesn't kill us all, they will find out that protons and electrons really are there own unique universes, and that our universe if just some photon floating around, along with n+1 more photons.

Router sits next to modem, which sits next to the cable jack, which sits next to my tv, which sits next to the Xbox so I don't need wireless = FREE. Network Gaming = $78 for 26 months, I concede this point, I pay $50/year. PSN and Wii net is free.

Well, there was a story late last week about a judge throwing a case out because the arresting cop listed his status as devious and posting Training Day as required watching for all cops on his MySpace page? Social network turning legal policy?
A new policy that says you leave facility equipment at the facility. Laptops stay on site. No more working from home. Productivity drops a bit, but lost information stops getting lost. I'm sure the workers would like to not work at home.
I agree with your point whole-heartily. To add to it, maybe the cause for rapid increase of autism in industrialized nations is the ability to know what it is, and have resources, medical and scientific tests, and the means to pursue current treatment methods, and tracking/statistics. I'm pretty sure third world countries have more to worry about then trying to identify youngsters with autism, because they are dieing at age 2 from malnutrition and other diseases.
In America, it is LEGAL to wave a pistol around, as long as done so in a non-threatening manner. The police will be called and a scene will be made, but it IS legal to walk around with a pistol. If it is holstered in a visible way, no special permits required. If it is held, no special permits required. If it is concealed, permits may apply.
Swords may be different, as they are "long knives" and there are laws limiting the size one can carry around. However, it is still an "arm" of sort, and should be legal to carry.
It was enacted sometime in 2005. That's 4 years, giving a few months. There are signs at Wal-Mart, K-Mart, places that sell TVs, the post office, on TV itself, I get flyers in the mail on it. For 2 years. If you can't save $60 in the 2 years of advertising, or 4 years since this went into law, then watching digital signal TV is the last of your problems. I agree with the house, lazy slackers.
I promise to end all the bad stuff that person A did. Become president, become privy to information that's super top secret president level stuff. Oh, um, we learn lots and stopped x number of bad things in a quasi-legal way. Oh, the stuff we stopped, it's super top secret president level stuff, I can't tell you. Sorry about making a promise on a uninformed issue that only 3 people know about.
I guess they thought having easy access to the service tag number was more of a hassle. With the New York Dept of Education, they have thousands of of 2002-2003 Dells with service tags written in "not a latin based language" on the back so small it takes a microscope to read it.
I want someone to crack the Ninja Gaiden engine, and infuse it with light sabers and force powers. I know Force Unleashed looks awesome, but I don't know if it will be on par with the Ninja Gaiden combat system.
Indeed, it's very nice to see people openly carrying a firearm. If people all start to have issues with conceled carry, then open carry is a better option. Would it be that John Doe "might" be carrying, I might still try to harass him into giving me his wallet. If I "SEE" John Doe carrying, I might be inclined to not only not harass him, but not harass anyone in the area, for fear he might change from carrying a firearm to shooting a firearm. Cracks me up that people bitch and moan about conceled carry. In Colorado Springs, there is a retired individual who likes to walk around with a very open hip holstered firearm and a shotgun over his shoulder. Went to city council meetings as well, flauting the fact that he can carry his firearms onto city property. Made city council nervous, so they made an ordinance that would prohibit the practice during council meetings. Now, I'd find it funny if they tried to tell him he couldn't take a picture of something in public. Course, the fact he open carries, make people leave him alone.
The proper purpose of a tax is to help fund the city resources that go into dealing with the problem caused by this issue. Does this $0.20 tax goto city garbage collects to offset costs? Does it go to consumer education about environmental issue? Does it go to the general coffer to offset healthcare? How is this 20 cent tax used? If it's not going back to subsidize trash collection to lower rates for all, or for environmental clean-up efforts, then the money is being wasted on city pet projects.
I for one am one of those people who will never use realplayer, or just about anything by RealNetworks. The last experience I had with them was probably back before Napster was started. Realplayer would take over every aspect of media on your system, without asking. It would also install itself in your taskbar, toolbar, quick menu, and everywhere else for "ease of use", all without asking. It would also start-up with the system, and any attempts to disable it would cancel out with reboots. It was the most annoying piece of junk then, and has left a bad taste ever since. But alas, grandma's all over the world don't know any different, so just kept on downloading and using it(they didn't have a choice on use), thus RealPlayer would never go away. Thanks Yahoo, I'll take my refund now, if I had ever used your bloated service anyway. Mark as flamebait if you want, but I agree with OP, RealPlayer is junk.

In general, yes, you can cancel your contract free of charge at that point.
To hell with the Bush years. This should be done every 8 years, regardless of who's in charge, and should have started in the 30's.

Finished the FOCC. They had a smoke after.
I so want the Horn version, only problem is, I don't think my living room has enough space for a 12 foot horn.
So, one tracker went down, 12 more will open in it's place. Or, April Fools.

I love achievements, it gives me purpose to pointless things.
My workplace went offline for about 4 hours, turns out they forgot to turn the server back on.

Only 4 cosmonauts have died, that we KNOW of. The Russian government isn't the greatest at telling the truth, and is really good at PR bending.
And as soon as there support lines are ringing non-stop, and they start losing some of thier bigger customers, that will stop pretty soon.
MTV still plays videos? When do they find the time between have sex with my parents and next and guess who's a hochie tonight and other crap?
When has MTV mattered after the 80's?
