"Prince, whose Purple Rain sold more than 11m copies, also plans to give away a free copy of his latest album with tickets for his forthcoming concerts in London."
Considering how much concert tickets cost these days, and how little it costs to burn a CD, I would say free copy of the album with concert ticket purchase should be standard, but then they would just jack up the price of concert tickets another $15.
I was with you right up till, "who gives a damn if there are no p tags in a post?" I was all ready to accept the idea that you merely overlooked the fact that HTML formatted is the default and failed to use the preview button. Then right at the end you gave away the fact that you knew exactly why line feeds weren't interpreted as paragraph breaks, yet you did nothing to make your second post more readable.
If you don't care what someone thinks about your literary style, why be so defensive and insulting to them?
Or, for a more historical example, did Thomas Eddison patent the concept of a device which emits light when electricity is passed through it, or did he patent the actual light bulb with the carbon filiment and the air sucked out of it?
(It sounds like a rhetorical question, but technically it isn't because I don't actually know the answer)
Close, the point of democracy is that people can CHANGE the government when they don't like it. Change means more than just complaining about something.
I would hope Blizzard would have the sense not to put adds in game... Would you care if they put a little banner add on the forums? In game behavior profiles could easily be used to target adds to forum users.
To take it a step further, they could associate the IP address you login from with your user account. Then combine your in game behavior profile with other data related to your IP address. Then sell the data to other companies that might use IP address to target banner adds.
