That's dates as in "When was Christopher Columbus born" not "Take me in your strong arms and make passionate love to me"?

Getting to level 50 isn't the point of the game.
For you.

"Should" according to...?
Those who stop playing again because it takes too long to get anywhere.
been playing WoW for a couple months, very casually, because I have a four-month-old baby to take care of;-) and I'm level 25 (almost 26!) which seems about right to me.
Thanks for reminding me not to try wow.
Now, if you have no life, and play 40 hours a week in long uninterrupted blocks, you might make 50 in a month. But I wouldn't want to be you, if that was the case.
And since i want to be me, i want them to change their games;)

All those games have a content problem, its repetitivt and boring - getting to next level is the only amusing thing.
Just seemed odd to me that they wouldn't support Windows, seemed like spite. But if they made it for their own system first, i suppose its natural they haven't gotten around to Windows.
Because Bin laden essentially said "Even though you started this I'm willing to stop if you are"
OSAMA BIN LADEN is a murderer
So is Bush.
he targeted the World Trade Center, a CIVILIAN INSTITUTION. The World Trade Center was never a military building, it had nothing to do with the US military.
Civilians in a democracy are responsible for their what their government does - if it chooses to sanction the killing of civilians in other countries they should be surprised if some of them strikes back. And if they don't have a mega big army they are going to blow up smaller stuff.
Being "at war" is NO EXCUSE for targeting civilans. NONE.
Which is indeed what the UN said to Bush, don't go in because you are going to kill a lot of civilians - but he didn't care.
You say 15k civilians in Iraq were killed
Actually its more like 100000 civilians were killed because of Bush's illegal war against a country that hadn't anything to do with Bin Ladens attack. A lot of children are without parents down there right now, they hate the US and when they grow up they'll probably strike back in 10-15-20 years - I'm sure there lot of idiot voters who then will whine "why are they after us, we are so innocent"
How many people were being tortured, starved and gassed by Saddam when he was in power??
Very few in later years, people stopped fighting him. Infact in later years more people were starving to death because of the US backed sanctions.
Don't get me wrong, I think Bin Laden is dangerous lunatic - but then so is Bush and everything he has done the last few years makes the world a more dangerous place, and now the world is stuck with him for 4 more damn years!
Oh we weep for the bad education of the americans.
Actually i think its more a case of you being in denial, but if you want to use it go ahead.
Oh wait, I forget, this is/. Of course not. It's easier just to throw rocks.
Nobody is throwing rocks, i'm just pointing out that you can't block "the evil people" because they just pick a random service provider like everybody else.
Without numbers or anecdotal evidence it's all just opinions...
No - its intellect. They are hardly likely to have IP's which resolve to names like "crimefighter.mpaa.com" so any IP's banned will be based on what some teenager thinks is suspect - true or not.
They aren't. There is no way in hell you could determine if a connection is from a laywer on job or a lawyer just wating the latest episode of Enterprise.
Good question - mostly because the suits are always behind the times. Remember the VHS - they tried to ban it and sue people because it was "stealing their profits" - then when they lost some young bright spark thought about selling/renting prerecorded movies! And made billions.
There is no reason not to do it, and eventually someone will

Not troll, just because you don't like the facts.
Where it takes a real time year to get from level 1 to 50? (As opposed to a the month it should take)
Don't forgot that the European observers were not allowed to enter some polling stations - somebody hiding something?
Just seemed odd to me that they wouldn't support Windows, seemed like spite. But if they made it for their own system first, i suppose its natural they haven't gotten around to Windows.
Of course if you have a 3 digit IQ you know that's not the case.
This alone makes it a commercial failure now already.
HOW THE FUCK IS THIS POST +5 INSIGHTFUL??

... because that day the american voters decided that human rights are only for those they choose to call humans.
It's not "stealing" you can't steal something which is not there ;)
It was very dark.
Sorry, but that's just an ignorant statement

When Bush won he sent a thought to Europe and they thought "Right back at you!"

don't really know how effective they are
They aren't. There is no way in hell you could determine if a connection is from a laywer on job or a lawyer just wating the latest episode of Enterprise.
And that's why copyright infringers should use something else. Because it is sub-optimal for stealing.
Not that copyright infringement is stealing. A crime can be a crime without it being theft.
You were just stormtrooped ;)
Oh its a beautifull langauge, the timber, the lilt, the sound of the fjords!
