I was hoping it was just dust on my LCD but nope, thats a booger.

I think its brilliant politicing on both sides. We get bin Laden and they dont look bad helping us. Everyone wins.

Osama bin Laden mission agreed in secret 10 years ago by US and Pakistan.

Yes, there is a setting where you can turn auto update off but others here have said that it just turns itself back on. Not sure how thats possible but there you go.

Im probably reading too much into this but is that just some percentage you made up or is that the percentage of losses suffered by England's population in WW1?

Well of course you either buy it or you dont but you would expect the game you already payed for to at least contain the minimum information to carry you to the next game in the series. When they retroactively add that information to an "optional" DLC its not really optional. Either you buy it or have a giant piece of missing cannon. If this information is somehow attainable in the next game of the series then thats ok, if its not, thats a big problem.

I havent played any of the ME series but I have to agree that adding plot critical cannon to a DLC sounds like a strongarm tactic to force you to buy the DLC.

Why dont you just leave the puppy out in the back yard?

From the Death of Osama bin Laden Wiki page: I can understand how they would be able to disrupt cellular services but how the hell did they disrupt electrical services? Id love to see what they had inside those stealh choppers. :drool:

Its interesting that the loophole of "buying it online" hasnt been clamped down on. I guess they just dont want the boxes on the shelves.

I was shocked to learn the special forces (SEALs) have a subset special special forces.

Thats why you teachers make the big money.

I dont think Ive ever seen a Hawaiian restaurant. Weird. The iPod2 was delivered on Monday. Its super sexy. My intention is to use it as an electronic "coffee table" book. Already loaded some fun little apps like Rhapsody, Atari (the entire friggin catalog for $14.99)(no, its not as good as we remember), Angry Birds, it even has an app that simulates my Comcast remote, etc... Fun little gizmo but nothing I would have owned if I had to pay for it (wife won it).

Whats the current level cap?

Reading the news, our gov is waffling on whether or not to release the picture of his corpse. Apparently it involves brain matter as he took the bullet right above his left eye. Would anyone want to see the picture?

That's a tricky question. First off, you get three active trees at once. So right now I have two healing professions and an offensive casting one. But then you can create other 'roles' which are like specs, where you have other trees active. You can switch them on the fly. It also doesn't seem to be as gear-centric as WoW, although I haven't played far enough to confirm this. It doesn't feel like it, but then, like Hurlie, I'm also pretty low still. And by "On the fly" he means "as the fight continues around you, channel a cast to change specs no resources lost" Hmm, sounds nice and OP like I like. Ill see if I can drum up the energy but the thought of leveling another toon doesnt excite me one bit.

You have an Ukrainian mail bride? Didn't you see the picture. It looked like my niece with an afghan hound sitting on her head. Are you pulling my leg or did that really happen? Because i'm very gullible. You guys wouldn't do all this to make fun of me would you? Here you go.

I played a Paladin in WoW to level 60, and I enjoyed the class, but I wouldn't really say I could heal or DPS anywhere close to a priest or a rogue/wizard. Is it one class with three specs (but you can only have one spec "active") ala WoW or are you saying your Rift Cleric can do all three jobs simultaneously?

It isn't the only difference, although it is a very visible one, as rifts open up all over the place. But it really isn't about raiding, it's about ease of grouping. You run up to a rift and you are suddenly in a public group, working with people to shut it down. These type of automatic public groups are commonplace. They are really going after the idea of massively multiplayer in the MMO name. Grouping isn't just easy, it is automatic. These groups often turn into raid groups when they get big, but there is no management necessary like in an endgame raid. The second big change is the class system. It allows for a ton of variety. I was upset that Blizzard never added new classes with the expansions (I thought the Death Knight was a bit of a cheat.) Rift allows me to really try some different types of characters, for example a cleric that can tank, DPS, or heal. It's also just a completely different universe. The story and characters are refreshingly new for me, they've kept me engaged. It's definitely a standard MMO, I just think it has elevated the genre by refining a lot of the mechanics other games have had. It's worth a try for anyone who enjoys MMO's. Sounds interesting. Im not a huge lore guy and couldnt tell you anything about the WoW universe even after years of play. Just FYI, the bolded part is called a Paladin in WoW.

Why is this the first Im hearing of "Dorchester armor"? Off to research!

Oh no you dont you tricky obyknven! Im not clicking that link.

http://video.mail.ru/mail/dima850/473/747.html It's Simple, Darling That didnt even penetrate the armor. I dont think there is a shoulder launched AT weapon that can defeat Chobham armor. Hell, tank rounds dont defeat Chobham armor. I have to admit, when I clicked that I was expecting a Rickroll.

I have serious doubts the Afghanis can take out an Abrams, much less five in one day. Thats more than we lost in the entire invasion.

So it sounds like, and correct me if Im wrong, that the only difference between WoW and Rift is that Rift allows day 1 raiding while WoW reserves raiding for endgame level toons?
