The joke is on you. I work in a shop that basically sells HDMI cable for less then 1 EUR per meter, goldplated.
If you factor out the greed, prices can go down by a large amount.
Well, in WWII it was not uncommon to use German POWs as an expendable force to remove mines from heavily mined areas. The Germans are pretty much the only nation in the world who had the right system to map minefields and that came in handy. And yes, a lot of Germans lost their lives during the process.
I expect all Slashdot verbally abusing this guy for being a neocon and an enemy of freedom and a paranoid lunatic but the fact is this guy actually got threatened. This means that somebody has tried to intimidate him and state that he will hurt him/his family. Since no biker gangs have done this but a gamer did(you can never tell how dangerous these people are) he is absolutely right that gamers are scarier to him than biker gangs.
Then comes the internet and blows this totally out proportion and saying that this guy thinks that gamers are generally more dangerous than bikers in order to discredit him. I find that incredibly lame and it reeks of an attack campaign against the Australian Attorney General.
Good job loser(s), you just ruined your credibility. In the meantime this guy has got some arrows on his bow to fire at gamers. Congratulations again, you just helped your opponent by giving him media attention.
On hand hand this is malignant censorship, the forebode to a society with no free information. On the other hand, this is 4chan.....

"The NFL Saints can trademark a specific design - like gold, with black and white borders but they can't trademark the fleur-de-lis itself."
Guess what, these fleur-de-lis are almost always following heraldic conventions. That means that only certain combinations are possible. For example: Yellow(gold) on blue or red on white but never yellow on white. Due to the limited amount of heraldic colours there are basically a number of permutations you can have with a fleur-de-lis, the symbol of the kingdom of France, on a field. Therefore the creative input can be stated as almost minimal(all the thinking has been done for them) and it should not qualify as an enforcable creative product.

One RPG would get Sea Sheperd a quick mark as a terrorist organisation and would totally destroy the organisation and the legitimacy of the organisation and by extension anti-whaling operations.
It would also give whalers the argument that anti-whalers are terrorists and would only help them.
"Otherwise you'll not be utilising the future-thinking operational motivators of time-shift market deployments, and that can seriously anti-creationalise your interstabularistic practicalularisation performocarbunkle cheesewozzles."
Won't someone please think of the cheesewozzles!
That's hardly a strange name. Not if you know that the Dutch have a seperate "vowel" which is i and j combined (ij) and sounds almost the same as "y" in "why". Do the Dutch word dijk becomes the English word "dyke". The word "afsluit" is equivalent to the English words "close down". In essence it means "a dyke that closes down" and it's a reference to the sea inlet called the Zuidersea (or South Sea) and turned into a lake. Yes, the South Sea was originally the other connected to the "North Sea" until we pacified its rough waters. It's a source of engineering pride for us.

Yeah, imagine that the Sun would output harmful radiation. Wouldn't THAT be stupid.
Finally I can post this link and not be offtopic:
