Not WoW it is free to play but with quite crippling limits, I think what's really hitting WoW numbers most is the rise of the free to play model amongst other MMO's none of which have anywhere near as crippling limitations as WoW take a look at the free to play on steam section and there are 4 MMO style games all of which are free with microtransaction support that offers a substantial boost but is not required to actually participate even at high levels with no problems.
Compare that to WoW where you can get to level 20 and have severe limitations on your character and i'm going to gravitate my time and effort towards the free to play game that for sure.
The one i've been spending most time with is Spiral Knights, very simple persistant world game that's remarkably fun and you can do excpetionally well in without spending a single cent.
IANAL but from what I recall the libel law in the UK is horrifically broken and needs amending and the following is true;
1) If any part of a publication is printed or reprinted in the UK you have a case for libel, and whilst the definitions of printed have changed so it includes electronic media this crazy system has not.
2) You are under a reverse burden of proof, if I say David Blaine is a gitwizard it's up to me to prove that he is indeed a gitwizard, he can just sit back smile polietely and I have to do all the work.
3) Indeed even if I can prove David Blaine is a gitwizard I might still be fined for having caused damage.

I am quite intrested in the feedback between Ashes to Ashes which just concluded and from what i've read about the lost finale has a similar sort of motiff but managed to give a very satisfying conclusion to Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes explaining the world, the charactes and motivations and just what has been happening.
Contrasting this with Lost which sounds very much like they were trying something similar but didn't dedicate enough time to make it forfilling and as rewarding as the final for Ashes to Ashes which even after watching a second time left me feeling drained but satisifed.
During the Mcafee issues recently a CNC machine without a CD drive had it's SVCHOST file qurantined, so it couldn't get onto the network and the RPC service was disabled because of this so we were unable to use a USB stick.
Floppy disk to the rescue.

What you will find is what you always find however, the extremes.
I personally know a few friends in the States that are doing really not so well just now because they have pre-exisiting conditions and can't get insurance so they don't mind that they have fingers falling off because they can't afford to do anything about it.
But again that's at the extreme, obviously for you the system of health care is working quite well, I believe that one of the main purposes of this bill is to extend that system to those who it isn't working out so well for.
Having RTFA I'd be more intrested in how he obtained this advanced copy of the game for distribution, was it as simple as importating it from another region where it had been released or was it a lapse in security that enabled him to get hold of this game?
However, I would love if President Obama showed the world how good he is by refusing to accept it stating he has so much more work he still needs to do. However isn't Will Smith giving out the award? I don't think I could refuse an award by Will Smith so I can't blame President Obama if he reluctantly accepts.
For what it's worth I still think he is worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize, even this soon in as long as he can deliver on the good strong start he has made.
I still like the Now Show idea, becuase the BNP can't actually stop ethnic minorties joining (The equality comission said so) get as many people to join as possible then force an AGM to elect a new leader of the party, one of these new ethnic minorities that has joined.
At that point most of the BNP "true" member will quit and leave and you keep the initals BNP but change what it stands for, no longer the British National Party but the Blue Nosed Pteradactayls, mostly as it'll upset many of the "true" BNP supporters as they won't figure out why Pteradactayl starts with a P...
Michael Savage was recently mentioned by the UK papers as appearing on a list of "undersirables" people that would actively be denied entry to the UK based on the grounds he is;
"Considered to be engaging in unacceptable behaviour by seeking to provoke others to serious criminal acts and fostering hatred which might lead to inter-community violence."
The Guardian had a full list here
I can understand that the activity all happened within the US but i'm not quite so sure why there is the instance on extriditing him apart from presumably that a guy on his mom's computer managed to hack into supposedly the most secure computers at the time leaving them with egg on their face and a great deal of embarrasment.
The computer misuse act in the UK is pretty strong and would come with fines and imprisonment for up to 10 years.
"Doesn't the United Kingdom have a Bill of Rights-type document?"
Nope, nothing like that at all.
It's quite likely however the people that have been disconnected were doing something wrong, we aren't talking about the old granny who doesn't have the internet being served by the RIAA here this will be people that will have been using torents (possibly legally more likely however not) and have broken the service agreement with Karoo.
Thus they were disconnected.
I'm not hugely impressive really look at the lumbering old Star Wars Galaxies (6 years old soon) that not only enables you to switch faction (2 week waiting period) but also enables you to completely change your career, bored running around with that glowstick just go speak to a dude and become a Officer or a Smuggler.
It's not perfect but it beats grinding up an entirely new chracter.
The pen and paper RPG used a varient of Phoenix Command including the excitement of 1/2 second combat rounds as you "roleplay" the trajectory of the bullet passing through objects (skin, bone, organs, etc...) it was pretty good game from what I recall but very 80's.
Perhaps a cost/benefit analysis with pie chart, here's the cost of sending out these e-mails, here's the number of folks that the e-mail will bounce from, here's the number of folks that will block us, here's the number of folks that will report us and this tiny little point here is the number of people that will continue to shop with us.
So how about a Kite instead?
3 ton isn't that heavy, a nice big power kite could supplement the craft speed really well.
Then you just stick a dynamo onto the wave powered bit, a battery and an outboard electrical motor.
Sorted.

You didn't multiply each side by 9. Step 3 should read 9/81 = 0.9999999999999999999999...
"fewer than 40 people killed by terrorists in the UK" 52 people died in the 7th July bombing attack alone, I call into question your numbers here.

If the top speed is 5 knots, a sail would be faster at some points, I must just be missing something...
So until now everyone was just measuring the radius of the Milky Way?
