"Helm's Deep, involved cutting many skills for all classes, with a only a handful reclaimable through the new, 1-dimensional trait trees."
Welcome to Hell, buddy!
Sounds like this is a change towards "Action MMO" design, with reduced powers and complexity, oriented for console implementation.
You're supposed to beat the keyboard furiously with a handful of powers, rather than some deep strategy of executing carefully-crafted characters in deep ways. This asininity is the new gameplay shoved down our throats.
It keeps growing even as flop after flop is released.
It makes WoW look beyond epic.
Why oh why couldn't the Perfect World/NCSoft axis of evil sell City of Heroes instead of kill it? These things are hobbies. It's like some model train company closed, so they came into your basement, took all your engines and railroad cars, and tore out your plaster mountains and smashed your model buildings you spent years crafting.
Sigh. Start using multi-antibiotic cocktails, especially with drugs that operate on different methods such that a single mutation to cover all of them is highly unlikely.
If you can do that and keep the side effects down, you can win. One antibiotic at a time is how you go about evolving resistance.
Put the math to work for you. It exponentiates the chamce of resistance. If it takes one of a quadrillion bacteria to develop resistance to one (covered by millions in billions of people) then a single one mitating two ways simultaneously is in the one in. is in the one in nonillion range, and three is the one in. whatever the hell 15-illion is. This would also require worldwide use lest stupid countries ise the cocktail drugs individually.
There is work to be done but it can be. Stop being idiots and put the math to work for you.
Certain people have stock interests. You didn't think a big national media report on Taser deaths coming out the week before Taser stock went public was a coincidence, did you?
I'm waiting for the day political organizations engage in astroturfing with concerted efforts to silence critics of political positions they don't like by swamping it with sheer numbers to generate a false consensus.
This is independent of any natural give and take in debate.
Companies will still flee, it's just that voting with their feet is their only option. Who wants to plan when the local government can lie out its ass, then jack up taxes on you to just under what would drive you away? With no way to get the city to contract with you over certain tax rates...

Mission Director: Orbit achieved. Launch the Air Force satellite!
Operator: Launched...and away, sir.
Mission Director: Release the CubeSats!
Operator: Releasing...all launched.
Mission Director: How are they doing?
Operator: All 28 read nominal.
Mission Director: Good. I...
Operator: Oop. One just went offline.. Wait, another just did, too. And another.
Mission Director: What the Hell...?
Operator: Another...and another! Every two seconds, one drops offline. They read a sudden temperature spike, then nothing. OH, that's it, all 28 are gone.
Air Force Guy: That sux for you. My satellite just completed its 28 tests with flying colors.
If it improves over gas, it improves over gas. Look at it in a medical outcomes sense, "hard outcomes", like death, heart attack, stroke, used to analyze treatments (like that niacin-based drug that did what it was supposed to -- raise HDL or good cholesterol -- yet hard outcomes remained the same.)
This car = far fewer fires and deaths per car, per person, per mile, per whatever.
Look for similar things with fully robot driving cars: a bunch of hoopla over accidents, nevermind deaths will plummet vs. idiotic biological organism drivers. Look for lawyers to sue and suck up profits of these risky projects.
Or Christopher Walken: "Yeah. I'm collecting data. On you. So you turned the setting. Off. What of it? Make a fuss and I'll stab you in the eye with a pencil."
The only thing they could arrest him on was bribing the guy, er, girl. I was pissed off at Assange, too, but we've been down this road before with the Pentagon Papers, and rightly so.
Distrusted cloud services get abandoned, which costs them money, which costs their stock prices, which costs millions of middle Americans stock price, which drives a stake of fear into the hearts of Congress.
If people with panels end up powering their neighbor, then let the neighbor's bill mostly go to the person with the panel, minus upkeep fees for the utility, and some small profit bonus for the utility. This fee may also cover any extras necessary to keep the flow stable.
We all assume the net effect is it would pay for itself, even if just barely. If it doesn't, it's a whole game of waste.
The fact they are feeding back into the grid should pay for it, and that should be included in the rates the utility is required to pay the home owners.

Happy Birthday is copyrighted, so you better get permission or you'll get a good education on numbers with lots of zeroes.
The Internet already transfers illegal stuff, and everyone, including ISP owners, knows it. Yet they are safe because it is not their responsibility to do packet inspection. Indeed, it may (and should) be illegal for spying reasons. So there is some safe harbor stuff going on already.
People have the right, in the US anyway, to encrypt stuff as part of free speech. Outlawing a highly-protected thing like speech because it can be used illegally, which also squashes legal use, tends to fall on deaf ears at the Supreme Court.

My Droid phone wants to be a pilot, too, but I said no. It's not that it can't handle it, it's that it's still stuck under this Verizon contract.

I believe that was what he was suggesting at the end -- that the new law needs to have RFID added to it.

Depends how you measure it. Subtracting the average number of lives before and after each donation, sperm is looking pretty good vs. blood.
If it improves over gas, it improves over gas.

Let the money issue work *for* you.

That's 5% of my awesome Verizon monthly data cap!
I mean **only** a **mere** 5%.

Your boring Carter was happy with stagflation, as were the two Republicans before him.
I'll take a guy like Reagan, for economics, at least, over the Nixon-Ford-Carter-Bush, Sr.-Clinton-Bush, Jr.-Obama business as usual anyday.
People forget Clinton threw up his hands and said, "I give up. Massive deficits as far as the eye can see" just before the Internet boom rescued him.
