I did the same exact thing. The time played was just too much, and I reached a point where I had to say enough is enough. I took two characters to level 60 in a relatively short amount of time. And was working on my third and fourth when reality set in. I don't know if the expansion will bring me back though. Here's a way for all you addicts to celebrate hitting level 60 though.
Well, if you're doing it on your own site you're profiting from fraudulent activity. I believe when you place google ads on your site, your agreement says you can't do this. I believe that's how it is illegal.
Yeah, but you don't need itunes to do that, and shoutcast doesn't compare to the services the other stations offer. Have you ever tried any of the other services radio/streaming options?
Yes, but you don't need iTunes for it. You can't choose the artists you want to hear. It's of lower sound quality than the paid services. I see it's a public station but I don't know if that means it has some station breaks and other interruptions of the music. I stand by my statement.
Which is pretty annoying. The wma files I download or purchase from Napster I can at least play in MusicMatch, whereas the one I purchased from Wal-Mart crashed MusicMatch.
I'd say I'm paid a fair wage, but I'm self-employed.
You seem to be arguing with someone else with your response though. You seem to be arguing that minimum wage is bad, and athletes aren't overpaid. I don't have any arguments with those theories. You ignored everything that I said. Not that it really matters, but it just seemed strange.
I guess I just don't agree with your definition of overpaid. You say that as long as an employer pays the salary of the person then they aren't overpaid. You seem to think that a manager knows and monitors the salary of each and every employee, every second of every day. In the ideal corporation this would be the case, but that's not the real world.
Summary: apart from coercion, no one is overpaid. There are two possible outcomes when an employer gets buyer's remorse: either a salary renegotiation, or the employee gets fired.
Well forms of coercion can be very broad and exist in today's world hence my assertion that you're talking about an ivory tower model. An employer may not like conflict so he doesn't want to fire somebody. An employer doesn't want to fire a family member. An employer is a poor manager and doesn't know he can pay his employees less. Are all these cases coercion?
Even in broader terms. A new machine can make human employees worth much less. Are they fired instantly? No, they aren't.
This may be because he has determined that he can get the same services for less from someone else, or it may be because he has decided that the quality of services performed by the employee are poor.
To pick even more nits, the moment he decides this isn't the moment that the employee is fired or the salary changed, so until that time the employee is being overpaid.
You're talking about some model economy that economists use to teach classes. Salary changes don't react immediately. You're speaking theoretically. I'm speaking realistically.
Ideally that's correct, but there is no such thing as a completely free market. The US certainly isn't. Even in a mostly free market it takes time to correct imbalances so you could certainly consider some people overpaid.
You pirate software, music, movies and don't view ads on websites, not because you are incensed about having a business model forced on you, but because you are a cheapskate who likes to freeload.

Well HP recently rewrote windows to make their drivers compatible.
Who needs EGA? I'm still waiting for this card with text game acceleration.
for Apple's Windows based Mac later this year.
Sorry I wasn't able to change the image in time. Looks like he's gotten rid of it.
I wonder if it's the same code they used in their digital camera rootkit.
I'd boycott especially after Sony's rootkit on their digital cameras that stops you from sharing photos.
Au contraire, a recent article shows that their new antispyware software removes intenet explorer.

BBspot (my site) already reported on the next generation of iPods a few weeks ago.
And don't forget their new search results ranking formula.
Here's a review of BuyMusic.com. Some of the reasons for it's unpopularity are pretty obvious from the review.
Yeah, but you don't need itunes to do that, and shoutcast doesn't compare to the services the other stations offer. Have you ever tried any of the other services radio/streaming options?
Yes, but you don't need iTunes for it. You can't choose the artists you want to hear. It's of lower sound quality than the paid services. I see it's a public station but I don't know if that means it has some station breaks and other interruptions of the music. I stand by my statement.
I found the streaming choices on iTunes to be worthless. You may disagree.

Why do you feel you need to shame your child into not learning about something that is completely natural?
Most of the women on porn sites are not completely natural.

No, you can't
Yes, I can.

No one's "overpaid" in a free market.
Ideally that's correct, but there is no such thing as a completely free market. The US certainly isn't. Even in a mostly free market it takes time to correct imbalances so you could certainly consider some people overpaid.
No he couldn't. First of all he wasn't the person I responded to. Second of all I was speaking in general terms.
I'm not making a statement that everyone does these things. Why would I need to talk to your lawyer?
You pirate software, music, movies and don't view ads on websites, not because you are incensed about having a business model forced on you, but because you are a cheapskate who likes to freeload.
Amen, I'd love to exclude Dave Matthews from my station.
