They pretty much force the TV subscription on you these days. They pretty much forced a TV subscription on me even though I'm an Internet-only user since it's actually cheaper to have the cable package than the Internet package alone. I haven't even opened the cable box they sent me.
I bought WC3 for the sole purpose of playing dota which I played at a LAN party a few times. I know quite a few people who have also done this - this leads me to suspect that the makers of dota have generated a nice bit of profit for Blizzard.

Yeah but since a large percentage of the community (let's go with 84.3%) doesn't R the FA then most of us will never know. But of course since there are so many informative people like you who post the stuff we care about then I guess it's a moot point.
So what you're saying is that you don't like PvP, so you didn't very much like a PvP-oriented game. I'm shocked.
That being said, I love PvP and I love Warhammer, I find that playing that same piece of content repetitively DOES get boring if you're playing against the computer (which is why I got bored of WoW). But throw in a human element and suddenly it's an entirely different experience every time you play a scenario or take/defend a keep, even if it's the same one. And by the way I love Mourkain's Temple.
The youtube video was interesting, and if what he states in there is still accurate then it's not quite "mandatory", but it still feels rather intrusive to me to make government funding for schools contingent on developing service programs (if I understood that correctly).
The $4000 tax credit for college students that do 100 hours of service didn't seem all that unreasonable to me.
while:noh is the "correct" way to do it, I find it a lot faster personally to type "/asfe". I suppose the best solution would be to just map it to an F key or something.
I don't understand your logic. You seem to be claiming that the fact that they have a bias (which everyone does to at least some degree) they are suddenly excluded from ever having a valid point or opinion.
Your argument that they are more of an opinion network than a news network seems unrelated to me.
This whole idea that people who don't share your same political view points are all idiots, liars and baby eaters is what has really turned me (and I suspect a lot of other people) off from trying to have reasonable political discussions with people.
While you can clearly say that banning guns doesn't cause more gun crimes, the rise in gun crimes that the GP has mentioned is evidence that banning guns has been rather ineffectual at preventing gun-related crimes.
For the love of all that is holy why did they teach it to play that song?! I've been spending all of my years since high school band trying to erase that song from memory after playing it over and over and over for hours on end.

Thank you for playing.
You could have totally made that up and I doubt many people would even know. Including me.

I don't know but I'm posting also to see if posting in this one works.
I think he meant 'Fire' as in the kind that's preceeded by the words 'Ready' and 'Aim'. I think.

I think that's the point he's trying to make..
He must be a real programmer

Yeah especially since all of them will have biodegraded by the time it comes out.

I've got one mod point left but I can't seem to find the "paranoid" option in the drop-down box here..
Look, I came here for an argument! Oh, sorry, wrong story..
