Star Wars Galaxies, anyone? My master dancer/mediocre pistoleer had a good time there. Then came The Change, and she no longer was proficient in any weapon. Now what? Pew pew with level 1 stuff when I'm not dancing? Thanks. Cancel. No, nobody can have my stuff.

The Dranei's got some serious bootage. It's about time, given there are no damned waist (tiny) or booty (ample) sliders.
They've even got their own built-in high heels, so to speak. (The heel/ankle is really that 3rd joint in animal legs, before it evolved down flat to help a toddling human walk. Er, I mean, before God designed humans that way, in a way that just looks like it evolved from that, as a test to see if we'd continue to believe in Him.)
SO your theory is like String Theory, M-Theory, or Religions (with omnipotent gods who can and choose to deliberately hide): Adds no information and is not disprovable, even with theoretical experiments.
4. Weight slider as fat as possible to amp the booty, just until the waist starts growing, about halfway or so
5. Bikini 2 bottom. Make it light gray.
6. Flame or some other tops-with-skin top, black
Now you're running around behind something that would make JLo jealous. The gray on the bottom makes your mind think it's a sheer black bottom to go with the black top (light, almost-white or white skin works best with this.)
That doesn't work on the lesser MMORPGs where you don't have that level of customization, and especially not when you have no choice as to costume because of "drops".
I play women only in MMORPGs. I prefer to run around for hours a day behind a woman's ass than a man's.
Thanks for playing, 'tards. People who think it's some kind of gay weirdo, I am not even of the same species as you, you intellectually stunted freaks.
That the wrong result is 100,000 even is mighty suspicious, too.
I wonder if, internally, different chunks of code are fighting over whether to truly convert to floating point or not. Something sees "77.1" and says, "sure!", while another says, wait, if we multiply it out, it is not really a floating point.

I'm fine with smartassery, really. However, do you really want to bet which community will have a fix actually widely installed on its community base first?
This may be true, but remember that, from the salmonella's point of view, the object isn't to kill its host.
The goal is to reproduce and spread. Therefore I predict this salmonella would quickly evolve back to the slightly more dormant variety, and rather quickly.
The bacteria isn't "winning" by killing it's host faster and faster and faster. This is a disadvantageous mutation from the bacteria's point of view. One needn't worry about it "getting into the wild".
Or perhaps public employees + unions + (elected mayors and Congress and presidents as bosses) are an unholy triumvirate of sloth.
The elected officials know (or believe, anyway) they will lose more union votes harassing their millions of government employees than they would ever gain standing up to them (not true, Reagan did quite well, but there you go.)
So government employee unions get a rate of success that private sector unions cannot and never will.
There is nothing good about this situation. It's not even something to be proud of. Woo hoo, our jobs cannot be lost to other countries. No pressure whatsoever to reign it in.
It's no wonder nobody likes unions anymore -- except people in those very unions.

I hear the respec quest is quite an expensive, protracted bitch tho'.
I'm the only one I know of who says that, but I don't know you.
You know what this means? Proof that at least two different men prefer to look at women's asses!

Given your appearence, I see no reason for you to buy one, either.
Proving they're ugly should be easy. It's proving their strong or brave that's the tough issue.
This is possibly the stupidest thing I've heard.

Or maybe they can send some Apple executives to jail instead.
I prefer that solution.
Not so fast!

That is all.

Hmmmm. Have they been any more effective in tracking the legal activities of citizens for nefarious government purposes?
If they're smart, they'll do a second controller you strap onto your other hand so you can do force push/pull/throw on things.
If they could do a package like that, with a saber and some back-of-the-hand strapon (shut up!) I'd buy it.
