I'm sorry to hear about your problems; I hope you give it another shot.
However, to be fair, if everyone had to install Windows themselves, also, I think the majority of the population just would never use a computer AT ALL.
I can tell you right now that so-called 'commercial support' is often a freakin' joke.
My company paid buckets of cash to use Weblogic. The support? HAR HAR HAR. We have to work around bugs today that we reported to them 2 years ago, and they've done -nothing- about.
I can't say this about -all- commercial support, but it seems that a lot of it is there just so the PHBs can have a nice squishy feeling that they're getting something for their money.
OF COURSE the 80% of Americans who are Christian are being persecuted.
Every day, I see Christians beaten and left to die on fenceposts. I see churches being banned and forced out of town. I see scientists trying to force churches to teach evolution. I see those Christian bookshops being ransacked daily. There isn't a single Christian with political power. There aren't any Christian TV channels, or any on TV in general. I even see a major political party trying to pass a Constitutional amendment banning Christians from being married!
Man, they sure have it tough! It must be tough to be Christian in American these days.
What I'd like to see is more short instances for lvl 60s. Strat/Scholo/UBRS gets kind of old, and can often just take too much goddamn time. Something that takes, say, an hour or so with a decent 5man group, with an interesting boss fight at the end would be great. Think Stockades for 60s, with a fun fight like Archaedas to finish.
These mini-instances would fit with the game well, if they nerfed the drops and upped the coin drops. That way, you discourage equipment farming but let a casual player make enough money after, say, 10 1-hour runs to buy equipment comparable to what you might expect after a 4-hour raid. Personally, I'd love that; my tank's at 60, there isn't much left to upgrade w/out raiding, but I don't have the work schedule or social schedule to raid much so I'm stuck. I can easily find many chunks of an hour or two here or there, but anything longer than that is mostly unworkable.
Randomized instances would certainly keep things fresh, too.
Azhol Nerzub (meh. Misspelled) has been smooth since shortly after 1.10, also. Blizz seems to be able to do something about the problems, it just is taking them awhile to get all the realms up to speed.
My only current complaint is the freakin' auth server. So far, tho, the waiting time has been less than the time it takes me to go outside and have a smoke, so it all works out for me.
Should the service on my realm regress to where it was 3 months ago, tho, I'll cancel. My patience is thin and the weather is finally getting nice.
Moreover, the DMCA is the law of the land. If you are working against it, you are pursuing an agenda that goes beyond the protection of rights. It might even be a good agenda, but it has nothing to do with my rights and everything to do with your ideology -- an ideology that most Americans disagree with.
Volcanoes are also sources of water vapour and carbon dioxide, but their contribution to the global budgets of greenhouse gases is very small. On the time-scale of decades to centuries, greenhouse gas emissions from volcanic sources cause negligible climate change.
However, volcanic emissions of gases such as sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide and hydrogen fluoride are important compared to human-induced sources. These gases have effects on climate (cooling), on stratospheric ozone and possibly on global cloudiness."
So, it specifically mentions that volcanoes have little effect on possible global warming; in fact they should have a cooling effect.
The wikipedia link -you- specifically mention talks about 'Long Term' changes on a matter of a few months or years, including red sunsets (from crap in the air) and cooling (again, from crap in the air). It doesn't say a damned thing about greenhouse gases, so your link doesn't support your argument.
I was telling the parent that one high year 8 years ago doesn't invalidate whole chart. Looking at that chart, how can you NOT see an upwards trend? Argue all you want about the cause, but I'm right that there is indeed an upward trend.
Perhaps it's coincidence, but you have to consider that this chart just happens to coincide with the Industrical Revolution, and that the temperature change has been accelerating upwards for the last 20 years, which about matches the Westernization of some Very Large countries in Asia.
Again, could it be coincidence? Perhaps. But I'd rather be safe than sorry, and work under the assumption that humans are, at the very least, adding to a naturally occuring warming trend. If I'm wrong, the worst that's happened is that we developed some cleaner energy sources and (most likely) reduced our dependence on foreign oil. (this was written from the perspective of an American.)
So, the fact that the Republicans (who tend to disbelieve Global Warning) have been in power in Congress since '94 and have been writing the appropriation bills means that the guys getting the grants have been influenced into leaning TOWARDS believing Global Warming?
I'm not saying that OMG GLOBAL WARMING IS GONNA DOOM US ALL! But I -do- think that humans are certainly affecting global temperatures to some degree, and the end results could be, ah, problematic.
Read "The Blind Watchmaker", or some other good book that explains what probably happened.
Fuck, man. Just because you're too lazy to go inform yourself doesn't mean IT CULDNT HAV HAPENED ITZ 2 COMPLEZX!
Besides, claiming a Divine Creator just pushes the question back a bit, but doesn't solve anything. If GOD created life, where did GOD come from? Something as complex as an eternal, all-powerful being surely couldn't have just popped into place.
A lot of chatter on the guild chat channel is "Hey, how ya doing?" "Oh, not much, just got back from dinner with my girlfriend/boyfriend" Blahblahblah.
Anyway, a LGBT guild would be guaranteed not to have other guildies then going "OMFG U fagortz pAt rob3rts0n sez ur dizeezed!". In other words, a good way to keep from getting harassed by juvenile pricks.
So, it's not asking for SPECIAL rights. It's simply a way of avoiding idiots. What's wrong with that?
There's a recent article in Scientific American about the possibility of Mars->Earth transfer of organisms. It turns out that it isn't that far-fetched at all. (Meaning that it -could- happen, not that it -did- happen).
I'd have to agree with you that exchanging organisms between solar systems does seem rather far-fetched.
Look for content, not just the 'sound'. DK's lyrics are relevant (even now, X years later) and meaningful. I haven't heard -any- punk that gets radio play that's had any meaningful content.
Ya know why? Political music makes people uncomfortable, so radio stations don't play it, unless it's some guy singing about the US sticking a boot in someone's ass.

"I'm just happy to see the Democrats now running amok and raising taxes... "
Yeah, because actually PAYING for infrastructure improvements (the viaduct, light rail, the monorail, the 520 bridge, etc) through taxes is liberal hogwash. Everyone knows the real way to do things: Just borrow the money and let your grandkids pay! BushCo has shown us the way.
If conservatives want to have low taxes, they need to start actually picking specific gov't services to cut, instead of just bellyaching about generalities. When you start talking about specific, real things to cut, people balk and don't want to do it. Until you can convince people to accept cuts in services, stop bitching about taxes.

What the hell does this mean? (I've been out of town for a couple of weeks, and may have missed a news item.)
"Free market" referes to the level of government involvement, not the number of companies involved. In a capitalist market, any high-barrier-to-entry field tends towards monopoly, and diamond mining certainly fits that qualification.

Er, regarding possible Global Warming, one of the other responses to the GP (my post) pointed out this links:
2 000e.htm
http://www.cmar.csiro.au/e-print/open/greenhouse_
which discusses volcanic effects on climate.
The link says this:
"Gaseous emissions
Volcanoes are also sources of water vapour and carbon dioxide, but their contribution to the global budgets of greenhouse gases is very small. On the time-scale of decades to centuries, greenhouse gas emissions from volcanic sources cause negligible climate change.
However, volcanic emissions of gases such as sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide and hydrogen fluoride are important compared to human-induced sources. These gases have effects on climate (cooling), on stratospheric ozone and possibly on global cloudiness."

Umm. Sure.
Yes, because one data point invalidates a 140-year upward trend!
As someone else pointed out:
