New tax set to raise costs of digital downloads {WoW}
Feb 27th 2009 9:26AM You are paying for something with your tax Oo, you are paying for the police, firemen and all the other stuff the government is covering. Taxes are a means of generating the income needed to keep a good infrastructure going.. obviously some of it gets wasted along the way but hey ;) cheers from socialist Norway i suppose

Every NES game ever on eBay {Engadget}
Jan 28th 2007 9:04PM The reason it's selling for so much is because of the people out there who want stuff, and want it now. They don't want to go around searching 20+ stores for that last game they are missing, also they can't be bothered with going through the work of actually gathering it all. They see an Ebay auction for [every nes game etc] and they know that's what they want. They take a look, and end up deciding to give it a go, see if they can get it for a price they deem reasonable. Even though a lot of people are collectors few people are dedicated enough going around searching for them because even though they know a local game store could have a lot of them, they believe that the store can't have all of them. Gathering a collection is hard work, having that tossed in front of them is a dream come true.
WiiBot cuts other Wiimote hacks down to size {Engadget}
Jan 28th 2007 8:24PM This would actually be a viable solution for any military operations biggest cost, humans. Don't want to be all ethical and stuff, but what actually drives the common person is her(or his) personal feelings. Most people would not care about the Iraq war if soldiers from the west were not dying in there. Take the 9/11 movie done by Michael Moore, he is obviusly trying to play on people's personal feelings on a touchy subject. Ask yourself this: "Would you care if it was 2 african countries fighting, or maybe even 2 european countries, how about eastern european countries?". Most people would say yes, but how often dont we hear about these things in the media and dont care. And now to go away from that very long path down ethical road.
Robots like these could mean that a lot of dangerous duties (patrolling f.x) could be done with these robots and still have a human controlling it and using it. Since nobody wants A.I. going around wiping people from the earth. Something along the goliath from StarCraft or those really similar [read: identical] things from matrix 3, is what most people have in mind.
Thus suffering less casualties. Not only would this mean less people fallng over to the "against [Insert war]" side but also more people would come back and support the military for their work. Also, who stands the best chance against a sniper? A soldier in uniform? Or a big lumbering robot thingy? They dont even need to be able to walk for most of the guard duties.
Now the point of this rant was basically: The military could actually earn quite a lot from making these robots, tho i can imagine that the price would be enormous. But the way things are going now, the only way to get the money you need for things is keeping people happy. People dont like their friends getting killed in some foreign war.

Caption:
1. a title or explanation for a picture or illustration, esp. in a magazine.
It's not supposed to be long now is it? Sure you might not like the joke but i didnt decide to win, i just entered with whatever i wanted. Was no rule against entering was it? So flaming me (@12 and 15) does not make sense. K thx bye
