1. You know you're living in 2005 when...
2. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.
3. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.
4. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3.
5. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.
6. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is
that they don't have e-mail addresses.
7. You go home after a long day at work you still answer the phone in
a business manner.
8. You make phone calls from home, you accidentally dial '9' to get an
outside line.
10. You've sat at the same desk for four years and worked for three
different companies.
11. You learn about your redundancy on the 11 o'clock news.
12. Your boss doesn't have the ability to do your job.
13. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see
if anyone is home.
14. Every commercial on television has a website at the bottom of the
screen.
15. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have
the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for
panic and you turn around to go and get it.
16. You get up in the morning and go online before getting your coffee.
17. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. 
18. You're reading this and nodding and laughing.
19. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.
20. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a #9 on
this list. AND NOW U R LAUGHING at yourself.

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
