I quit after playing for 6 months for all the above reasons as well. If EVE had a scriptable UI I would have stuck around, but it was so -awful- that I couldn't handle it anymore and ended up going back to WoW.
Unless you PVP in a truly throwaway ship the losses can be crippling for a new player starting out in PVP, not to mention that EVE PVP really boils down to a massive game of rock paper scissors, except instead of 3 elements there are about 10. If you're not setup to counter a specific offense(Damping, jamming, sniper/blasters etc) you're dead in the water. Really, you can get away with a high learning curve -or- a punishing loss system. Not both.
If you can't get people to follow simple rules, kick them from the group/guild and recruit people with brains.
You cannot make a cake out of horseshit. Likewise, you cannot make an achieving raid guild out of kids with ADHD.
I find it rather amusing how as soon as there is some sort of scandal or mud to be thrown, republicans get their snouts deep in much. Clinton's blowjob is a perfect example of this.
As soon as the reverse is done, its always "Those darn liberals and their lack of morals, get mah gun." Personally, I care more about a politicians policies than who is/has sucked his dick.
I was surprised by the lack of comments on this thread, but then I thought 'Its a satellite that watches the ocean all day and stuff.' Kinda hard to get excited over.
I never got RSS either until I used Google Reader (http://google.com/reader). I tried it a few times in the past, but it never really clicked until I used Google's implementation.
Certainly this will arouse someone's 'Google knows too much' rant, though I don't see the problem with them knowing my browsing habits.
So, by the same logic Martin Luther King wasn't a hero. Surely someone else would have done his great work eventually!
I think I just hit level 5 in the 'Strawman' skill. Sweet!
Apparently, if you don't support the murder of palestinians, you must clearly support the murder of Jews. If you're not 100% pro-israel, then you'll hear the bloody curdling screams of "racist nazi holocaust 911" until you relent.
There is really no way to win. Sucks, but there it is.
Personally I think this attitude is the leading cause of anti-semitism in this day and age. People don't like to be pidgeonholed, and when they do some of them pidgeonhole back...
Although your post is obviously a joke, Windows did a fantastic job of getting the PC into the lives of average people. This is something that Linux is only beginning to do, IMO.

There are even Facebook groups about boycotting Facebook... /facepalm
> After all, look what a great job keeping civilians disarmed is doing in Darfur.
Look at what a good job its doing in most of the Western world.

If you RTFA, its people who have drug-resistant HIV who are being experimented on.
I read this and am pleased because its saving lives, and advancing medical knowledge.
Yet I know people will think this is evil because its 'playing God' and 'saving fags'. Hell, Fred Phelps is probably making signs already...
How sad.
Not to mention that the weather was AWFUL in Melbourne and Adelaide that day. I don't know about the other cities, but it was miserable where I live.
So I stayed inside. I figure with all the geeks at the march SOMEONE had to keep an eye on the tubes.
And I for one feel his computer usage habits make him, and his views increasingly irrelevant.
Don't forget the people who will tell a pollster they'll vote for a black man, and then vote differently on the day.
Its been an observed phenomenon in US elections. I forget the name of the candidate it happened to...
Don't forget Australia.
Better medical, education and welfare programs just work. I say this as someone who has never been on the dole, and has private health insurance.
All of these 'socialist' programs make the country safer, smarter and healthier.
Nonsense.
Direct from the lyrics, again:
Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
They were using the song in a doco to promote the theory of Intelligent Design.
Perhaps Yoko was hoping to stop John's message being used for the wrong ends?

Damn, why didn't I think of that. Its the perfect solution. A breakup you can ENJOY!
A father and his two kids were killed by illegal aliens?
Sounds like a case for Mulder and Scully!
Charisma. Its not always a dump-stat.

Google bombs don't destroy information. They just push it to page 2. Or page 54.
Isn't one of the tenets of politics -not- giving the voters all the information?

Don't "forget" step 3.5. Put lots of "quotes" around "random" words while writing about it.
