Isn't the point of DRM to stop piracy? If they blame lost sales on piracy, they are admitting the DRM isn't doing anything anyway except piss off customers.
Using loose as an antonym of win is due to a misspelling of the word that was intended. It's not at all the same as giving or assuming a new definition for a word or phrase.

Why did you include Israel on that list? Not to stereotype too much here, but Jews have to be the most fractious People in history. Even the Bible (whenever and whoever you believe wrote it) is at least a few thousand years old and says as much, repeatedly.
If free speech against the government were punished, there wouldn't be anyone outside of jail to run the country.
The point of a bicameral legislature in the US is a compromise between equal and proportional representation of the states. One side is that all states should be treated equal, the other side is that population matters. Thus one house has the same number of reps for each state (Senate) and the other has a number that varies by the relative population of each state (House of Representatives).
When you appear intelligent on an online forum, it doesn't really mean much, as anyone can Google or visit Wikipedia. However, looking like an idiot online generally indicates that you're really an idiot.
I have to disagree with Diablo II. I played Hardcore exclusively, and you really don't get much more of a death penalty than losing your character. And there were plenty of times I didn't have anyone set to be able to loot me, either. I still never stopped playing because of that.
Of course, in a game where you can get to level 40ish in a single night and be able to solo Baal on Nightmare in an 8 player game, it didn't really matter all that much.
As for tagging mobs, it's a hybrid. The first to tag is guaranteed loot rights, but xp is split amongst those who contribute to killing it. Unlike both DAoC and WoW, healing counts. Also, for quest kill credit, first tag wins.
The classes are based directly on the WH lore. I'm sure there's plenty of material out there for that.
As for no hybrids? Archmage, DoK, Shaman, Warpriest. All of those are healing/DPS hybdrids. You even have a split between melee/healing and caster/healing.
Pet classes? Engineer and Magus have non-moving pets. White Lions and Squiq Herders have moving pets.
No CC? Almost every single class has CC. The only thing that doesn't exist is mezz/sleep. All melee have snares. Most casters have roots, those that don't have snares. There's knockback and disabling (stuns). What else do you want?
As for complaining that a BW uses fire... again the classes are based on WH lore. You are upset that the graphics aren't different colors depending on spec? Casters can focus on different types of damage in WAR, just as they can in DAoC or WoW. You can go ranged AE, PBAE, CC focus, better pets, etc, depending on the class.
As for the game being focused on RvR, well yeah, look at the game it is based on. The ONLY thing to do in Warhammer, the table top game, is war. That's kind of the point. You don't have to like RvR, and that's fine, but to decry that a game based on total war is all about war is just being an ass.
If I thought WAR PvP would have been anything like WoW's, I'd have lost interest ages ago. However, I have played DAoC for 7 years. I knew WAR PvP would be more like RvR, and it is. Scenarious are a bit too much like BGs for my tastes, but I consider those an aid to leveling and not the purpose of the game at level 70 (and soon 80). At rank 40, I will be sacking cities. Try that in WoW.
I understand that Judges are basically all party shills and that the law is meaningless when the Party is in danger, but how can one reasonably say that a candidate on the ballot has no standing in this case? If not Barr, who could possibly have standing to bring this case to court?
Yes. Anyone who votes the party line is like a small (minded) child who must sometimes have bad things happen to him to show that life must be dealt with as-is and not how one wants it to be.
If both Mccain and Obama missed the deadline, it should show that both are arrogant shits that do not care about proper Law and procedure. No one who smugly assumes he will win should in any way be allowed a chance.
This is based on what I hear versus what I know from experience, so please don't flame me for being an ignorant American. I already know I am:)
What I've heard about the situations regarding Moslems is that the Moslems do not accept the culture they are surrounded by. It's one thing to maintain one's own culture (I am an Orthodox Jew), but it's quite another to try and force your new neighbors to cater to your prejudices.

Friday the 25th? KY must be on a different calendar too.
It's just as likely that you don't have a clue either. Any idea what "cache" means?

The 1st-party is in reference to the provider, not the receiver.
In what way is Objective-C dynamically typed?

The only purpose of language is communication. If one is able to communicate, nothing they do to the language is incorrect.
And people DO "steer a tad away from there" all the time. That's why gay is now a slur instead of a compliment.
You are an idiot.
And just where does this "freshmeat" come from? Hmm?
Libel is libel whether or not it is also parody. They are not mutually-exclusive.

It has nothing to do with checks and balances.
No.
RvR. It has been keeping DAoC alive, even though DAoC has severe flaws that can't be fixed in-place. WAR fixes those flaws.
I predict that you will find yourself ostracized for being a complete and total idiot.

WAR is not DAoC. It's DAoC done right.

Unless you play an Open server, there is no PvP in WAR. It's RvR. If you haven't played, say, WoW and DAoC, you may not understand the difference.

If it's missing, how do you see it?
I grant that you could see where it should be, but I won't say that because I'm not a grammar Nazi.

Are you talking about the US? The Federal government's power has no limits in the US.
