Tell that to Mojang/Microsoft concerning Minecraft.

Can you imagine an Ambush Bug movie? And the main villain is Argh!Yle? Or a movie based on the Heckler? So many possibilities exist, yet here we go with another variation of Superman and Batman...

I understand collectibles and limited editions, but $666 for a box set that doesn't even include physical copies of the game (for PC) - but for some reason includes 40-year-old cassette tape technology - seems like a definite rip-off.

...1.2 billion monthly active buyers...

That's 15% of the world's population. I feel like maybe that's not an accurate count.

Yes, Jabba was mentioned by name during the conversation between Han and Greedo:

"Yes, Greedo, as a matter of fact I was just going to see your boss. Tell Jabba that I've got his money."

You are correct that he didn't appear in the original release.

The link to Stallman's katana highlighted in an XKCD comic is wrong. The correct comic is located here: https://xkcd.com/225/

I think you raise a valid point. In the world of IT, we're accustomed to the logical and obvious nature of everything. Since we don't think of the subconscious or unintended results of areas such as design, we tend to forget that it still has an effect on the users.

For a minute there, I thought you were talking about me...

Evidently, there's also not enough spellcheck programs to help you, either.

I own a "dumb" phone. I also own three desktop computers and a laptop. I figure the primary use for any cell phone is to make calls, and if I need to make sure I'm connected to the Internet while I'm away from home, I have either my laptop or any other number of possibilities (i.e., local library, Internet cafe, friends' computers, etc.) to get connected. I use my cell phone to make calls, because that's what it's primary use is.

But not as impressive as this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0_nuvPKIi8

I still need to finish watching season 5 of "Sliders".

Considering the two sites mentioned in the synopsis, the first thing I thought of was that these were sites that were supposedly no longer listing copyrighted materials. So the question to me then became, "Is there copyrighted material being shared under fake, non-copyrighted names? If I download 'Nasty.Old.People_2009_TS3.dvd.iso', am I really getting the Creative Commons-licensed movie, or am I getting 'Toy Story 3' because I read on some hacker site that the fake name is just a way to distribute the copyrighted movie?"

Why don't we all ask VH1 how this idea worked out for them?

I think, perhaps, that you may be the exception instead of the rule. I checked my router's MAC address and the response was a town northwest of Seattle (I live in southeast Wisconsin). Chances are that many of the results will be the router's origin: the manufacturing site.
