Is "driving force for the ditch" some kind of sick joke? I love it.

Walmart Overcharges Soldiers Stationed Abroad For Shipping
For those who are interested, there are a few things that people have written in the comments that aren't true. I work in the military postal system and deal with all of this daily.
1) You don't have to ship Priority for packages to not go on a boat. Sure, since this is our busy season, it helps. You can ship it SAM (space available mail) and it (usually) won't be on a boat unless it's big (108+ in) or heavy (35+ lbs). Like the name implies, it will just sit in the states waiting on a flight. Once it gets to us over here, we send it out as soon as it's sorted, regardless of class.
2) You CAN use delivery confirmation. However, the package won't be tracked to its final destination, and since we simply don't have enough people, it might not be entered as delivered when it does get there. However, if it's sent insured, it will ALWAYS have a record on file at the post office it was delivered to for a minimum of one year. If you're worried about it, save the receipt you get at the post office to prove you sent it.
3) Theres no 8 week minimum wait for mail that goes on a boat. It's usually only 4.
4) You don't need to blame the USPS or Congress. They've already made the appropriate legislation to keep people from needing to pay more. The USPS delivers it to one of the hubs, and the military pays the tab the rest of the way.
On a side note, I don't know anybody who hasn't waited an unusally long time to get their package from Wal-Mart. I don't order from them just because it does take so long. Now, I have even more motivation not to.

Sony Exec Calls Nintendo Products "Babysitting Tools"
I had a roommate with a PSP...but he only hacked it to play old Nintendo games. I haven't owned anything Sony since the PS2, but I still have all my old Nintendo consoles.
