Throughout the entire history of WoW all the way from release until today, PvP realms as a whole have been less popular then PvE realms.
Interestingly, with European servers the situation was exactly the opposite at least during the first year after launch. I don't know if it has changed since then.

During early 90's Purple Motion played keyboards in a band called 'Decoryah', who managed to release two full length albums. Some information can be found here : Unofficial Decoryah page. There seems to be his more recent work at mp3.com too : Jonne Valtonen
Some other FC members are/were working at Remedy Entertainment, creating Max Payne among other things. Some others were involved with Bitboys, a small company designing 3d-hardware, and topic of a couple of articles here in Slashdot too over the past few years:)
Well, a similar "tax" for blank CD/DVD media (and of course magnetic audio/video media) is already in effect in just about every other EU country. Except UK, for now... which is why I order my DVD-R's from there at the moment. I hope UK will stay that way for as long as possible, I don't want even an euro-cent of my money going to those greedy local RIAA/MPAA-equivalents.
Buying outside EU is also pretty much out of the question, since it means customes fees, sales tax, and if the package says it contains CD/DVD media, customs will add that media tax on top of it too.
Never had any problems with it, but when I was selling it I (and the buyer) noticed the brownish leaks, just like in the photo linked in the article. Board still worked fine though, and from what I hear still does... now I wonder for how long though.
Well, it's somewhat beside the point since fansubbing, while perhaps 'ethical' or 'for good purpose', *is actually illegal*.
And 'distributing to end consumer' in this case means usually for free, and if someone does charge something for them, well... then even the 'good purpose' won't justify it.
Actually, japanese people use ^^ a lot in online games... first time I ever saw that was around 98 in Ultima Online.
I could be totally wrong, but I always figured the original ^^ was meant to resemble 'hehe' written in hiragana (the character for 'he' looks pretty much like ^, at least more that than any other ascii char).
Offtopic, but the "Internet through your AC outlet" thing has been commercially available in several european countries (for example Germany and Finland) for a while now... and seems to be working fine.
For me, one of the saddest events in internet history, was in 1996 when the church of scientology managed to get anon.penet.fi closed. Back then it was a very popular and widely used (and pretty much the only one) anonymous remailer, with hundreds of thousands of users all over the world.
The events leading to it's closing can be read at :
The shutdown hit newsgroup posters worst, since especially many *.support.* posters were using the service (for obvious reasons). At the time there weren't really any other semi-anonymous web based email/news providers, and it took a long while until some other similar, much smaller scale, services appeared.
These days, it's hard _not_ to find a way to post/email more or less anonymously, but back then, anon.penet.fi provided an invaluable service, and the stupid courts here in Finland let the scientologists to destroy it all.
Actually, downgrading to an older version will fix the slowness... v57 was the last relatively fast one, and v56 is considered to be the fastest still working client.
Of course, some servers won't let you in with v56, but there are sites with constantly updated serverlists, with those you shouldn't have problems connecting to servers.
As a comparison, v58->v60 give me an average of 20-30 kB/s, v57 about 60 kB/s, and with v56 it's 90-100, _average_.
Two of my favourites are Dameware Mini Remote Control and NetOP. Dameware's remote control is a bit slow, and uses quite a bit of CPU resources on the server side, but that can be helped a lot with the options (force 4-bit grayscale etc). Still it's my favourite since you can just attempt connecting with it, and if it detects the remote computer doesn't have the service installed, it can install it remotely on the fly (provided you have admin rights to the remote server), and even remove the service upon disconnect.
NetOP on the other hand can't be remotely installed, but it's still the fastest and cpu friendliest of all remote capture programs I have used so far.
Offtopic, but the disappearing icons problem is often caused by too low registry size (the Maximum registry size can be set from the page you set swap sizes). Has happened with several of our customers' NT desktops... we usually set it to about 2x the amount the current size with default profile, that fixes it for a while at least.
And no, I don't like NT... too bad so many customers still use it...
Have you ran the windows 2000 registry fix, which prevents the AGP-related memory corruption with AMD processors? The fix can be found from the following links :
Check out Auric's Ultima Moongates, it has a huge Ultima music library in MIDI format. The site also has other Ultima-related material, but unfortunately it's very rarely updated, and many of the links won't work.
... that Purple Motion plays keyboards in a band, which has released a couple of full length albums?
The band's homepage (not sure if it's the official page though) can be found here.

I, for one, welcome our new S, B, P and Z(ombie) overlords.
during that same time period, the sea ice in the Antarctic, you know, at the other end of the planet, has been increasing.
However, ice levels have recently been decreasing on the Antarctic too.
A new study sheds some light on the actual process:

The vacuum cleaner people made a nice game too, hopefully they'll add some more levels for it someday: Telescope Game
There's also The Ball Game.

I had a MSI K7T Turbo (MS-6330 v3 w/ ide-raid).

It has Cydoor. But at least for now, they also offer a Cydoor-free version, which is the same client, no limitations or cost.

You can install Win2k without ACPI, or remove it (requires partial Win2k reinstall though). The following article tells how :
Q237556
I have 3 Win2k's running without ACPI just fine.. CPU temp is a bit higher, but it's a small price to pay.
