(ATTN! compare to watching football with you buddies and sipping beer) through your anniversary helps, too.
That is why my wife and I got married in May - we both loathe baseball, and the NBA since jordan retired for the third time. Hockey is ok for us in small doses. But we both love football. so trying to plan a wedding during football season (late august - superbowl) was just nuts. Given that both our families are huge football fans.

At what point will they give up on the whole micro-transaction idea? When we have to pay one slip of gold pressed latinum every time we enter someones house or sit in a chair in a waiting room?

Some sources say that over 80% of desktop computers are infected with a virus called Windows.
It was 90% ten years ago. Virus removal takes a very long time. Just ask Symantec
Comment Keeping it secret? (Score 3, Insightful) 455
I understand the need for people to show off their hard work. In this case however; they could have easily kept it internal/quiet, until the mod was released.
Once out in the open C&D letters aren't even worth the time for a lawyer to write them up.
Will this(among many others) start a trend of keeping these mods/hacks secret to avoid C&D letters?
Of course in a perfect world SE could have offered them a big fat check for all the new material.

How much would Google save if they actively removed duplicate videos? I for one find it highly annoying to find 1000 search results of the SAME thing! Not only does that muck up search results; but the "related" section also; I find to be flooded with either the same video, or something entirely not related to it.

What of those big full page ads in the yellow pages? They don't give those away for free. I don't think phone book companies deeply screen their entries.
I do like the phone book analogy.

Jack Thompson will come out and say that the bad juju from violent video games is whats causing the surge in autism?
Besides, I was under the impression that it was the combination of vaccines before the age of 2 (36?) that was the leading factor. Specifically MMR+Chicken Pox combination.

They should field test this in Chicago. With so many damn pot holes on the road, they could get years of lab testing done in about a week.
Submission + - Ticketmaster Sued for Scalping
inflamed writes: "After years of charging excessive service fees on tickets, Ticketmaster has finally crossed a line and is now facing a potential class-action lawsuit after a Toronto man sued Ticketmaster for $410M US. The lawsuit alleges that Ticketmaster sells tickets at a higher price through a subsite called TicketsNow, offering sold-out tickets at inflated prices in a practice entirely reminiscent of scalping. It comes as no suprise considering TicketMaster's apparent complicity in selling other scalpers large blocks of tickets. Why it took them so long to get into the scalping game themselves, anyways?"
Submission + - Sega 3D classics once again on these screens (kingofgng.com)
KingofGnG writes: "There's no doubt about the fact that ElSemi take his time when it's about updating his Sega Model 2 arcade board emulator, but it's similarly true that any new Model 2 Emulator update offers such an amount of improvements to give meaning to the time gone-by between a release and another. Seven months after the last revisions, therefore, the talented Spanish coder has in the past days delivered the 0.9 version of his thoroughbred arcade emulator."
