I had a bad 15 pin serial port on my laptop. I called support to have it sent in and repaired and of course I was run through a cue card session to make sure it was *really broken*. By the end of the call, the support guy had me hooking my laptop directly up to a printer (using the parallel port obviously), and printing a test page. I asked him what this had to do with my serial port and he said it was just a procedure we needed to run through. I grudgingly obliged and after I informed him the test page printed correctly (no surprise there) he says "Well ma'am, it doesn't look to me like there is any problem with the port on that machine" I had absolutely no response to give him.
I pay my monthly subscription fee, and even though I never have *any* time to play anymore, the teenager whom I let use my account gets far more mileage out of it than I ever did.... lots of high level characters and no homework getting done;)
Teenagers sometimes have a flow of resources.. their parents:)

hmm lets see.. 400,000 users total. each paying around $9.95 a month for their subscription... each having already spent at least $40.00 for the game and the three or four expansion packs that have been released. not bad.. not bad at all...
sad but true. it is all a bunch of sponsorship and political hooplah. try living in it. my $130 parking pass to the university where the opening and closing ceremonies are has been and will be worthless for about 3 months, and i'm sure tax payers will foot at least some part of the bill, besides the fact that it's impossible to afford tickets to anything, and we somehow need to hide all the homeless people that live downtown near some of the venues. oh wait, they are easing up on the liquor laws.... at least until the games are over 8P
Maybe they can turn that evil technology once held by Alex Krychek into something useful, something to save mankind even! And it's all controlled with a PDA...

WAR is defined as 2 a : a state of hostility, conflict, or antagonism b : a struggle or competition between opposing forces or for a particular end
TERRORISM is defined as the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion and if you then link to the word terror:
terror : 4 : violence (as bombing) committed by groups in order to intimidate a population or government into granting their demands
hmmm.... to me flying a commercial airliner full of innocent people into a huge, populated, symbol of american commerce DOES fit the definition of terror, in which the definition of terrorism follows, and this systematic use of terror has/will create a hostility towards whomever is responsible, and i believe most americans have felt antangonized.....
just my view into those definitions

i agree totally, how worthless you will be to consult with when all you know is copy-and-paste!

i did look up the words 'terrorism' and 'war' on the Merriam Webster Online dictionary.
