Actually, they're quite consistent. They don't allow the discussion of sexual orientation in any way. This is in keeping with their desire to maintain a 'family safe' environment.
They most certainly do allow discussion of sexual orientation. People casually mention their girl/boyfriends in chat all the time. Couples play and are affectionate with eachother both in and out of character. A queer guild would allow people to casually mention their same sex partners or the cute new boi they met last night without receiving a ration of shit. In essense it provides a place where queer people can enjoy the same social intimacy that straight folks enjoy in the rest of the game.
Thus, it'd be hard to recruit for a GLBT guild without discussiong policy-banned topics. In the end, it's their game, it's their policy, and if someone is playing, they've agreed agreed to it. If someone doesn't like it, they're always free to not pay them to play.
Just call your guild "Stonewall Warriors" or similar. Don't advertise at all or advertise within a separate queer community that has nothing to do with WoW. The people who belong there will find their way in. Politely decline people who try to join the guild cold in-game.
I think bliz is trying to discourage people running around in Ogrimar shouting "Come join our gay guild!". While I don't agree with their policy, I can understand how they would rather bury the issue ala the army rather than confront it.
Some of the pictures used in the fully zoomed in view on Google Earth are pretty old. I know the last time I looked up my house, it was some USGS photo that was 20+ years old (I believe it was dated 1982). I wouldn't be surprised if what was depicted in some of those photos differs from what is there now, but I wouldn't take just that fact as sole proof that the photos are faked.
Windows has a seldom-used feature that allows multiple streams to be associated with a single file. Now I have no idea if this is what they are using to implement their metadata feature, but you could have a document.txt that had the default plain text stream and a document.txt:meta that had the metadata stream. The two streams show up as a single directory entry called "document.txt", and the:meta stream follows the document.txt file around. Kinda like a resource fork on the Mac.
Example:
C:\TEMP>echo hi > foo.txt C:\TEMP>echo there > foo.txt:meta C:\TEMP>more < foo.txt hi
C:\TEMP>more < foo.txt:meta there
C:\TEMP>dir
Volume in drive C has no label.
Volume Serial Number is 6886-DD2A
If you're having trouble find jeans that fit you, try going to to a brand store that just sells jeans. Places like Diesel or G-Star will usually be happy to order your size for you to pick up in store, assuming they have it in their catalog. You'll pay a premium, but it's worth it for clothes that fit.
Terminator 1 + Predator line up in several places, including the monster in each getting crushed at the same time.
Also, I have a friend who really haes Tom Hanks, so at one of his birthdays, we setup 5 TVs playing The Green Mile, You've Got Mail, Saving Private Ryan, Philadelphia, and Sleepless in Seattle. You had to drink whenever he made a self-rightious speech or cried. If both were going on at the same time, you had to slam a beer. I think at one point he was doing one or the other on all 5...
Shit, I was thinking of buying an HD set exclusively for games - I don't even have cable or satellite. Although with the GC not being HD, I might rethink that.
Not true - I'm paying $1400/mo for a 1000 sq ft condo in Jamaica Plain that I bought last year. I have a friend staying in the spare bedroom and she kicks in money for rent and brings home free food from the food co-op where she works.
Before that I was renting here for a year and a half @ $1200/mo in a four bedroom 2 living room full floor apartment. Split with 3 other people that was $300 for rent! That bascaly gave me the spare money to save up my down payment.
Before I knew any better I was living in the studenty part of Mission Hill and splitting a tiny 3 bedroom for $1500, and even that wasn't so bad.
Commute is 30 minutes door to door to my work downtown by T and that includes a 10 minute walk to the subway.
Boston's only expensive if you want to live in a snooty neighborhood or student ghetto. There are plenty of regular-people neighborhoods in JP, Roxbury, Dorchester, and Southie that are quite reasonably considering the pay scale in the area.
I guess it helps if you grow up in the area and know the city and what you are looking for. Just remember heating costs can be as high as $400 a month during the bad part of the winter.
No, no, in Ikari Warriors it's A,B,B,A. Use the code after you've lost your last life but before the game ver screen appears. You can use the contine code as many times as you like, but you have to advance the screen a little bit between each use.
To beat the game, you have to find the hidden entrance to the fourth level. After you blow up the octpus boss thing at the end of the third level, throw grendes into the shadow under his dias (it's in a different location every game, but that seems to be were it usually is). A hidden ladder will appear. Boss of the fourth level is a huge face that shoots bombs out of his mouth.
This was sorta possible in the first game. You could play a really evil god, but have a good creature. You could train your creature to perform good miracles and generally take care of your town while you were busy hurling fireballs, boulders, and generally smiting the enemy towns.
The game still became pretty dull and repetative though.
You most certainly can get charged with a felony as a minor. Examples include possesion of drugs, gaffitti (no shit), fucking with mailboxes, etc. For the most part, you can get your record expunged when you turn 18. I have friends who've copped to the above and it didn't ruin their lives, they got a suspended sentence, paid some fines, maybe did some community service, and they're perfectly fine now. Of course, it's better if you don't get caught...
People don't use it [SMS] because unlike most of Europe, it is cheaper to talk than to send a SMS.
Really? I would say the opposite. I get 10-15 texts per day durring peak hours, because most of my friends worry about using up their daytime minutes. Most plans can add unlimited text messaging for less than $5, so durring the day we text, and at night we call eachother.
"I do not agree that the dog in a manger has the final right to the manger even though he may have lain there for a very long time. I do not admit that right. I do not admit for instance, that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia. I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race to put it that way, has come in and taken their place."
He also had no problem with using gas to put down uprisings by colonized indigenous peoples. I'm not saying he's a saint, just pointing out that popular leaders tend to get viewed through a rose colored filter.
Nvidia and ATI have yet to really address the MythTV crowd with a passively cooled, inexpensive (who cares about 3D specs for their myth box?) AGP card that can do all the heavy lifting of decoding HD MPEGs.
If you want a passively cooled 2d card, just take a 3d card, disconnect the fan header, and refrain from using any 3d apps. Worked for me with an old GeForce 2.
If you setup SSL on the web server, they should be able to check out just fine using an https:/// url, as the firewall will have no idea what PROPFINDs are flying around.

As an earlier poster mentioned, if you heven't invented, or can not manufacture ball bearinges, then lots of gears and axels look pretty good.

What's wrong with consensuated? It's a perfectly cromulent word.
On Firefox it's View / Sidebar / History

Good luck!
Dude, wait a few years and you'll want every single one of those years back...

Lots of sites run a web farm with a proxy/SSL accelerator in front of it. This configuration is potentially vulnerable to the attack.
So one could almost say that it's like a passport that allows you to "log on" to lots of different sites...
And why didn't he just say, "Yeah. Black is the new white."?
Because pink is the new black... duh!

Especially since he played a heroin-addicted gangster on the Sopranos. It's kinda hard to picture him as a straight-shooting detective.
...the artists, coders, and designers whose work makes up the game? Why do they deserve royalties any less than a voice actor?

Get TargetAlert for Firefox and enable the "New Window" alert. It'll put a little new window icon next to any link that will open in a new window.
There was a Word 5.0 for the Mac. It shipped around the same time as Word 2.0 for Windows. Some people still consider it to be the best. Word. Ever.
And some pretty questionable ones:
"I do not agree that the dog in a manger has the final right to the manger even though he may have lain there for a very long time. I do not admit that right. I do not admit for instance, that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia.

Agree about MPEG decoding, though.
