So, safety issues and warning aside, what is the practical application for this thing? Is it an incredible night light? Can I cook chicken with it in half the time? Does it make a house full of popcorn pop? Seriously, what is this needed for, besides being amazingly cool?

@YakovFox: This might win Darwin comment of the year.

@Augure: Guns don't kill people, people kill people.

@Pressure: Heh, that's what I was thinking. Maybe it's because Hong Kong's pearl industry is large and vital?

@FrostByghte: You couldn't be more correct in my opinion. Stifling the spirit of adventure in America's youth is going to do a ton of harm long-term.

So is the Remote Desktop update just the Server 2008R2 RemoteFX or is there an update to the Remote Desktop client as well? I have some minor issues with Remote Desktop right now and I'm hoping this fixes it.

@Jonathan Huang: That's probably a worse indication than the tattoo. The guy with the tattoo could be retired and working for Black Water or some other mercenary group, and not necessarily directly for the USA.

@batersquadzero: LOL Slapping != Educating, no matter what a Catholic School headmistress tells you.

@AmishJohn: This sort of happened to me. I flipped to the oldies station and heard The Clash's "Should I Stay or Should I Go" and Don Henley's "The Boys of Summer" back to back. It was quite the reality check.

@timoreilly: I wanted to approve this comment, but there's no approve button for this thread. I don't have an answer for you, but now that others can see it you might get an answer.

@IvanDashSmith: I haven't bought the first map pack yet, and haven't been booted out of a game yet in MW2. Yeah it happened in COD4 and W@W, but it doesn't work that way anymore.

@Paul Eunson: The hype is low but intense with the people that have scene it. I badgered everyone I play XBL with to download the videos on the MP, and most everybody is looking forward to it.

@Mandre: Heh, I have a bag of chicken defrosting in the fridge on the top shelf as we speak. I thought I was going to get to it tonight, but I'll have to cook it tomorrow night. Luckily it's in a pan so the juices don't get out of control.

@diffcomputers: And I find Macs the same way. Apple completely lost me when I had to drag an icon of an image to a text box in their built in reimaging tool. How is that intuitive?

@the_DECk: 5 years ago "Bling" wasn't a real word either.

@Komrade Kayce: Ahh that would explain it, I only used the aiming mechanism when absolutely necessary. It's the only part of Dead Rising that I disliked.

Bayonetta is sexy until she opens her mouth. Her voice is like a less extreme (hence less ignorable) version of Dr. Girlfriend's.
