The closest aspect to "community" I saw on eBay was in their messageboards which are buried somewhere on the site. I discovered them wen I was looking for info on being a seller.
At first glance, the messageboard (at least when I looked) was more of a help board with discussion peppered here and there. However, I've looked closer and looked back a few times and there's definitely a set of regulars who discuss their auctions and whatnot.
I would imagine if you were into something kind of esoteric, you might run into the same few buyers & sellers during the auctions.
I think the best way to describe the community -- from what I've seen -- is kind of like the neighborhood coffee shop. For many people, it's just a door they walk in, buy their coffee, and take off. However, if you go much, you'll slowly meet some of the regulars and perhaps befriend the owners. I would imagine that's a fair analogy of how eBay and its community emerges for most people.
I may be totally wrong, though. Half the auctions I buy through these days seem to be stores having auctions online instead of individuals.
Mizzou's can't-hack-it major was communication. I don't know anyone who would willingly change majors to something that would involve them spending as much time as possible in Middlebush.
Because if you scroll down farther, you'll see that they use this point to claim that using these not-CDs in your computer is "misapplication of the product" and that damage caused by not-CDs isn't covered by warranty.
So while it's great that they call out the manufacturers, if your computer gets hosed by some disc, you're the one who's SOL and any repairs come out of your pockets.
You don't fear the reality distortion field enough. Not only will OS9 not run tonight, your computer will melt down unless you boot into 10.1.4 and make an iMovie about how great OS X is.:)

Gee, don't you just love copy protection?

"O" is the icon for Photoshop 7 - it's a screw-in lens filter that's been on the main Photoshop box & splash screen since at least version 5.0.
Obviously, you never played an Origin game. Bugs galore.
They've been asking the same thing about Ultima IX for nearly two years now.
