Russia closed down its casinos overnight as gambling was banned nationwide, a move the industry says could throw a third of a million people out of work. The July 1 ban shut gaming halls, from gaudy casinos crowned by extravagant neon structures to dingy dwellings containing a handful of slot machines.

The Kremlin plans to restrict gambling to Las Vegas-style gaming zones in four rarely visited regions deemed to need investment, including one near the North Korea border, but nothing has been built and critics say the zones will fail.
- Shey
Though gaming establishments knew the shutdown date for at least a year, few thought the government would go through with it, but officials moved in overnight to close them down.

Yeah, but it's Generation X's fault that we have to look at all those "Y"s... We(they?) started it. (I get a little confused. I'm 30, so which side of the fence am I really on?)
- Kamilah Gill
Kamilah, I'm in the same boat. 31, and every definition says I fall between the X and Y cracks. Which, in light of this post, kinda grosses me out.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
LOLZ Tina. I guess it's the shadow effect of my parents being a little too young to be true Boomers. I'm a little too young to be Gen X

According to that, I'm officially an Xer. Once again, I apologize on behalf of this entire generation for the saggy pants that refuse to go away. We though it was cute. Fun. Temporary.

I'm Generation Y. But my butt-crack is firmly concealed. Unless I'm at home...

It's hot and summer and what better place to relax than on a yacht - especially one with a striking design. Here is some ‘inspiration' for what you might buy.

I haven't seen a difference yet. Maybe I am too skeptical.
- Valley
I do see a slight difference -- but I wonder if it will still whore memory like the last version
- Shey
Much faster on my PPC Mac. I've been using it since Beta 1.
- Chris Baskind
For 1 the javascript engine is supposed to be much faster. I notice a big difference. Also they now have implemented a lot of cool HTML5 features which is also cool
- alfred westerveld
haha, good question, tried disabling all my addons and confirmed that ff3.5 is still faster (esp. with javascript)

From the page: "I have a lot of respect for what Mr. Arrington has done, but does he bother to read comments on TechCrunch anymore? If anyone writes anything even remotely controversial, blog comments become interesting at best but typically devolve into a bunch of name calling. This is the internet and the way it works. Get used to it."

Why can't spammers spell? What is with that? Premature ejection from school? Ineffective spell checker?

who knows martha. i am impressed by teny's interaction though. this is high-quality spamming / trolling.

I'm having a hard time deciphering TenyJ's unique grasp of the english language. But maybe you should sleep with her/him, Shey. ETA: Creeeeeeeepy feed. Shey gettin' cyberstalked. I'mma write a Lifetime movie about you. Regina King can play Jasmin. Not sure who can play you.

...thanks Shey. i've been in need of some energy lately. Anika, you got anymore of that popcorn? .LOLz
- .LAG liked that
Wow, in the 90's, I used to let the guys on IRC assume I was male in order to avoid comments like TenyJ's first one. I did assume she was joking, but what a 180.
- MiniMage (FakeLifePerson)
@TenyJ... but we needs our energy, and popcorn is non-fattening... crunch, crunch! .LOLz

Yeah, Baroness, whts wrng wit her english huh? *dead* I'm popping MORE popcorn y'all.

Yeah, I thought the rock at first, but I wasn't really feeling it. And I think Ice Cube's too old. I don't think Shey's even 30 yet?

No, I'll wait until I have to buy a new computer anyway and Windows 7 probably come bundled with it.
- Morton Fox
I'm going to make my company upgrade my laptop from the Vista abomination it currently has on it. As for personal stuff, I can't see myself buying Windows 7, since I'm a Mac home.
- Joey Gibson
@Joey How did you even convince them to install Vista? (Not that I'm a Vista-hater, I just don't see the business case for it)
- Shey
Waiting to get a new comp doesn't make nearly as much sense moving from Vista to Win7 as it did from XP to Vista, as Win7 is sooo much better than Vista, and runs great on machines that choke on Vista.
- Christopher Carr
no. after Vista, MS has permanently lost me. i'll use XP Pro until it won't cut it anymore and then move to linux full-time. hopefully there will be more music production apps for it by then.
- Dead Silence
Already there. I haven't booted into XP since I loaded the RC. Smooth sailing so far.
- Adrian Culici
Dead: Win7 is light, clean and stable; it's worth giving a chance -- and I've used Linux almost exclusively for the last couple years.
- Christopher Carr
@Shey I'll be updating to Snow Leopard and Win7 to dual boot. I still occasionally do some Visual Studio / SQL stuff, have a Zune and some games.
- Andrew Smith
Win7/Linux Mint 7/Snow Leo tri-boot would be sweet.
- Christopher Carr
I haven't had significant problems with vista, but I'm probably going to put 7 on all my computers.
- Richard Lawler
I avoided the VISTA mess and I may be milking XP until it expires then go to Win 7. I still have 2002 and 2005 projects in VS/SQL Server 2005 running sbs.
- Melanie Reed
I'll most likely upgrade to Windows 7 for my PC and also on my Boot Camp partition.
