I only have this to say about Tyson: He has no one to blame but himself.
Tyson lost that fight straight up. He wasn't even a threat. Whether he's gotten lazy, older, jaded, or whatever, it affected his performance. The Tyson in that ring was NOT the Tyson of the 1980's and 1990's. Perhaps vintage Mike could have beaten Lewis (I can almost guarantee that, as Lewis was pushed to eight by a clearly inferior opponent), but on that night, it was no contest.
Thoughts?

What the hell? Why designate a crime as a hate crime? Why can't it just be a... crime. You start calling things hate crimes and you'll start needed thought police to keep people civil to each other. Total bullshit. Hate crime? Blah. Why do we want our justice system judging what is and is not "hate?" That's so incredibly subjective... it will lead to thought police, ala Minority Report. Blah.

All I can say is their lame ass registration system sucks the big one. After waiting to register (which was 30 minutes or so behind schedule) I was confronted with multiple server errors. Finally after about 20 minutes of frustration it appeared I had registered...but wait! I get home from work the next morning (8 hours after I initially registered) and find an email stating "there was a problem, please go to... and confirm your registration" So now I'm #275 on the waiting list. Bastards.

...I told Donovan that earlier that day I had seen a 9-year-old boy blowing away guards with a shotgun in a preview version of State of Emergency, an ultraviolent Rockstar game that encourages players to smash shop windows and assassinate executives in an urban street riot.
He froze. "That's not cool," he said flatly. "We're not about cute games for kids."

I love computer games, but ... I need something else to do -- I focused my life pretty intensely on programming for a long time (reading about it, doing it, etc). I spend too much time on the computer and need something else to open up my mind a bit, especially for when we are in crunch time. So.. whats a good hobby for a married, 22 year old programmer who doesn't have much time? Fairly cheap would be a benefit. :)
