Don't you have some newsletters to be working on in your moms basement about how we never landed on the moon? How do you have time to raise a child?
Seriously? If your sat/cable TV goes out, you're so desperate for TV that you switch to OTA?
Wow.
Tell me why I should care again?
I'm sure if you had a friend that wrote a cool new game and hadn't released it yet that you'd require compensation from them for testing it too, right?
Some people enjoy playing with new things, even if they're not finished yet. They also like providing feedback about how to make such things better.
Just because you think you should be compensated for doing something besides posting on slashdot doesn't mean everyone does. Maybe you'd like slashdot to pay you for your posts too?
