As it should be IMO. They provided a service and were paid for it. Why do they deserve to get paid in perpetuity?

But Im not talking about depreciation. Lets say Blockbuster (movie & game rental chain in U.S.) bought 5000 copies of for distribution to their various locations. They paid for those 5000 units so why should ALSO profit from anothers business model? You know, thats part of how capitalism works.

What on gods green earth makes him think they deserve money from used game sales and rentals? Its already been paid for per copy so he feels they deserve to get to re-sell it every time? Wow.

Fun link.

Are you just musing or do you think there is some easy solution?

Whats with the "age verification" stupidity popping up on certain websites? DA does it even though it nor any real information have been released yet (yes, you have to pass an age verification just to READ about the concept of the game), this link does it...what the crap? Has anyone, ever, put in an age under 18 (or whatever age is the minimum), got rejected, and walked away? No, you hit refresh and do it again with a earlier date. Stupid waste of time so the company can play "cover your a$$". /rant

You know, I always wondered how AU avoided a Japanese invasion IRL. Just too much land to try to hold?

Oh yeah, I totally forgot about the grenade. You're probably right about it being a prequal.

I am Legend 2? How is he in it what with dying at the end of the first? I cant remember, do you rise as one of them if they bite you or something?

I hope I get out of work before the snow hits. Were expecting another 2-4" between 3pm-12am and after that "blizzard conditions" with wind gusts up to 35mph and -20F temps with the wind chill. F-ing yay.

Eh, just sounds like the WoW formula. Pick a class and pick a talent tree. IMO thats an excellent approach, I like being able to see where Im going wrt my build.

Nope, they werent allowed until the last 15 years or so and I remember it being a BIG deal back then. In the runup to allowing them on combat ships we all had to go through sesitivity and sexual harrasment classes. Then they sent a detachment of women out for a 30 day workup and the whole ship was in an uproar. You see, we were used to a sausage party for six months at a pop so letting women on board was like throwing bloody steak to hungry lions. They even went so far as to post watches on the womens dorm and tell us if anyone "turned up pregnant" there was hell to pay, lol.

I cant speak for the other branches but I remember as far back as 1993-94 the Navy had started letting women on combatant ship (like the carrier I was station on at the time) instead of just support vessels.

Hehe, not learning the game per se, but finding out where someting is. No non-MMROPG is anywhere close to the size of a MMORPG.

Alt + Tab is a life saver for me. It allows me to minimize WoW to go to thottbot to look something up, lol.

I dont think so. When I run dxdiag I see this under the "sound" tab; Name: SoundMAX HD Audio. Is that by Creative?

Whats the difference? 100% of Israeli women must serve so even if they arent currently active duty, they were at one time.

Look awesomeness, your town's in the news:

Neither of those worked. Everything was already "on" in regedit and Im pretty sure Im logged on as Admin because I can install stuff all day, if I manually navigate to the launcher. Oh well, not really a big deal, more an annoyance.

XP, yes, and thank you for the research. You rock. Ill try it out tomorrow when Im back in the salt mine.

Big snow coming in?

90% of my WoW gaming is solo. Im in a humungus guild but I really dont chit chat with anyone. Im not anti-chit chat, I just tend to be too focused (oblivious?) to pay attention to the goings on in the guild chat. Im really only even in a guild for the benefits it affords my toon. Im much more conversive with random passer by's and almost all of my instances are done with PuG's.

All 6075 of you?
