They would still have governments. Hehe, I meant "are funded by the Federal government". Pretty much. There are a few examples of resources but no population to speak of (Alaska) and of a high population but no resources (New York) but rare is the combination or resources and population in one place. The "South" could do it with agriculture? Nope, that didnt even work 142 years ago. The midwest with its manufacturing? Possibly. The giant void of nothingness strecthing E-W between Illinois and California? Good luck with that.

Some, yes, but most large scale projects (roads, schools, etc...) are funded by the government. Couple that with small population states (low tax income) that have zero natural resources and they would become third world dumps in under a decade.

Like you say, California could probably survive as well as Texas (oil) but everone else would fold up like a beach chair as soon as Federal funding was pulled.

Update. Went into Karazhan for the first time last night and the first boss drops some epic bracers for me! Also got a new boom stick (wand) in Shattered Halls.

I guess its all in the eye of the beholder. I very much enjoy the graphics and effects from WoW while greatly disliking the "realistic" graphics of NWN2.

Huh, I wonder what ever happened to LC.

Peter seems to have full control of all his abilities now and

Meh, mkreku's current blonde bombshell leaves the redhead in the dust by a wide margin. My weekend was pretty mellow.

^I hear you. After 10 or so years of craptitude, Im hesitant to get too excited about Dallas' 4-0 start. I keep waiting for the bottom to fall out.

Scalping is illegal here in Illinois. How do they prove you were scalping? If you sell the ticket for more then face value, its scalping (you are allowed to sell it at face value). They will often have plain clothed officers wandering around outside of the venue and they will approace people trying to sell their tickets. If the sell price is higher then the face price, I think, they will confiscate the tickets and write you a fine.

^Try the back flap of the manual?

Whats that symbol for your 4th party member supposed to represent? That's a bat. Like a familiar or a summon. Ah, I see it now, thanks. Looked weird on this work LCD, like a normal hand holding hands with a gauntleted hand.

Fascinating. I didnt know guns were only banned in the UK in 1997. I had assumed guns were always banned there. Firearms (Amendment) (No. 2) Act 1997

Yeah, that does look cool, and quite fleshed out. Never played a SW or space sim game before so maybe Ill give it a go this weekend.

^Thanks for the summary. I had almost forgotten about Perrin!

We know

Huh, you learn something new every day.

Why does Blizzard even care whos driving the avatar so long as they get their monthy fee?

When did Atari become European and no longer Japanese?

Not to call you a dirty rotten maker-upper of stuff () but I dont recall ever seeing Sylar fly. To do so he would have had to kill another flyer. Would you happen to recall which episode that was? I have almost all of the webcomics and would like to see that.

astr0 is talking about the boy Claire met in her new school. At the end of the episode we see him floating outside Claire's 2nd story window peeping before flying off.

Thats true, good point.

Yeah, OZ is pretty hardcore. Once you get past all the butt-rape it is an excellent series. I watched it from premier to finale although it does start to suffer in the last season from
