Well, the leader of the scourge is a human ex-paladin, that would be prince Arthen, who killed his own father. The necromancers that propped up the scourge were humans. The scarlet crusade willfully work for the burning legion just because they hate the undead.
I also don't understand the knock against the orcs. They were dominated by a far superior enemy and used as pawns in the outlands. Finally thanks to Thrall they broke free and the PCs that you make in WoW are part of those "good" orcs. Yeah so the Darskpear Trolls used to be cannibals, I guess you don't have to trade fine cuisine tips with them.
This is mostly due to the faction population imbalance present on most of the realms. This will be improved in the expansion by the addition of the blood elves to the horde faction. It turns out that people like to play good looking races and that the horde did not appeal to them.

Personally, I expect SED to win over the high-end because it shares the strenght of CRT televisions with the large screen size and small form factor of LCD/Plasma. The middle-end should be split between LCD and the better DLP projections, while the low-end will be the cheap DLP projections and whoever can put out the smaller tvs for the best price (read: who gets the walmart account).
Anyways, they should have at least mentioned it to make their story complete from a 2006/2007 point of view.
They build machines that have wireless and bluetooth, and fast hard drives and such, and if you want it, you buy it, if not, there is no crap, 500 laptop. They dont waste your or their time. Sorry kids....
You're just plain lying, kid. Every single pentium M laptop dubbed "centrino" has had integrated wireless for the past what, 3 years? Let's check a Dell Inspiron 6000. Base price is 799$, comes with a 1.86GHz pentium M. Bluetooth is a 39$ option. A 7200 RPM drive is a 150$ option. Big total? 990$.
A little shy of the 2500$ for the 1.83GHz MacBook Pro, kid.
Like everyone saying that IBM PCs are better than Macintoshes. Pretty soon (if your advertising budget is large enough) you have everyone using IBM PCs and thinking Macs are crap whether or not it really is true.
Here's a better example : Because Macs cost more, they must be better, right?
By the looks of those photoshop benchmarks, you must be right!
That's your opinion. I've spent hundreds of hours on skype (mainly gaming) in the last year, sometimes in 3-man conference and lag has never been an issue. Then again I'm on a very good cable 5.1 Mbps cable modem connection with 50ms latencies to the servers I play on.
Maybe the problem is your internet access/provider, and not skype.
Hitting a deer is pretty bad, depending on your speed, but mostly non-fatal. Hitting a moose is much, much worse, most cars are too low and just take out the legs (and then the body takes out the occupants).
But wait, there's more! Now you can look forward to hitting A FRIGGIN ELEPHANT! Anyone see a problem here.
It's like being totally comfortable, like being submerged in warm water with the lights off, and no external stressors. Only the occasional bird, the sound of the ground underfoot, and the rustle of the wind keeps you company.
Wow that "nature" sounds like a great place! Does it have wi-fi?
Top marks, that is exactly how I ranked them. Russia was definetely there to be last, and Iraq was a secular regime, but with the large number of practicing religious people in its countries you have to put it higher then Sweden and Russia.
If the list was a top 50, the US and Iran would still be in the top 5.
That North America glorifies cash as the ultimate goal of everything. If you've got 2 phds and are leading breakthrough research for a modest wage, you are considered less of a success then high-school dropouts who are making 6 figure (or more) salaries. Think of all the College drop-outs running amok in the billionaires club, you think for a second they respect the intelligent researchers that make the breakthroughs for their company? Think again, they think they're the smart ones.
I hear all the time on the radio. The talk-show jocks will mention that they didn't go to college and are making a killing, will take calls from people who started a roofing business or whatnot and are raking 250k, and laugh together at the college graduates making 35-60k a year.
Not that this is a new phenomena, the history of science is filled with geniuses that contributed monumentally to science but lived modestly.
That flat panel CRT you're mentioning is the SED technology, brought to you by Toshiba and Canon. News on the progress of manufacturing and marketing are pretty slow about it, I google on it every so often and it's always the same old sources that come up.

After playing this game for 50 hours, I can only say this: COR BLIMEY!
(I just wish I knew what it meant)

Fisticuffs? Did you just buy Dragon Quest VIII?
Hell, I'm sure the "Sony Consumer Electronics" groups has regular disagreements with the "Sony Music" group.
If they don't significantly outsell the PS2 and Gamecube this holiday season it will be a horrible failure.
This is not only good for pirates, it also should be helpful against Utsusu Mojoro. /first thing I thought off.
Vancouver isn't exactly the best testbed for "harsh winter conditions". Send one down to Yellowknife to really test it.
The Fire Emblem you speak off as not being a sequel is actually Fire Emblem 7, the first one was on the NES in 1990...
And how about Basketball? Not enough action for you? A couple points every 30 seconds seems pretty good to me.
It's pointless to watch anything but the last 2 minutes of a basketball game.
No, that's my: other auction...

Consider it done.

Class these countries from the most religiously fanatical states to the least: Unites States of America, Sweden, Iraq Circa 1985, Iran, Russia.

Nah, skeletor will be a coin-toss between Lindsay Lohan and the coked-up Olsen twin (I don't care which one she is).
