    They problem isn't supply. The problem is that they would have to pay what they consider too much to access that supply.

    IOW - they just want cheap labor.

    If they did that they would not be getting all this free pr. This is nothing more than a stunt to get free PR.

    When CC was made legal in Texas the crime rate fell. States that have made hand gun permits almost impossible to get have higher rates of cun crime than states where it is easy for lawful people to own a gun.

    They will try. Hell, the US has 20,000 gun laws and the areas that have the most gun laws have the highests amount of gun/violent crime.

    It doesn't have to make sense, it just has to transfer money from the taxpayers to who ever donated to those that sponsored this.

    Sunlight is increasing on Earth

    By Nic Fleming, Science Correspondent
    (Filed: 06/05/2005)

    More sunlight is reaching the Earth's surface than it was 15 years ago, scientists reveal today.

    American researchers say there has been a four per cent rise in the amount of solar radiation reaching the planet's surface since 1990.

    Several studies have shown that up until the late 1980s, four to six per cent less sunlight penetrated the atmosphere than during the 1950s.

    Researchers believe the shift could be explained by the varying quantity and composition of aerosols, tiny solid and liquid particles suspended in the air.

    Other theories include changes in cloud cover or in atmospheric transparency caused by volcanic eruptions.

    Scientists believe that an increase in the amount of sunlight reaching the Earth's surface could add to the greenhouse effect, the warming caused by the build-up of carbon dioxide and other gasses that trap heat in the atmosphere.

    Many believe the effects of these trends are already being seen in the melting of polar ice and glaciers.

    It isn't at the rate they ADVERTIZE. Their website said/says that they will add new content monthy but they are way behind in doing so.

    I guess moving entire level 60 guilds to new servers then threating to ban people who talk about it is more important.
