"Not alien as in ALIENS FROM SPACE."
Right, got that from the first guy who mentioned it.
BTW: "Belonging to, characteristic of, or constituting another and very different place." Sounded a lot like "Orcs from Draenor" to me.
Granted both 'aliens' are little green creatures, but I see the distinction, thank you.
"The horde isn't evil, they're just alien"
Um, the Tauren and Trolls have been in Azeroth for, oh, a while.
Tauren are one of the few races who actually care about the planet. Besides the Elves of course - oh except the Tauren didn't blow up the planet like the elves did.

I switched my sister-in-law's browser over to firefox from IE6 while I was doing regular maintenance on her computer( a POS Dell running XP home). A few days later I heard from my mom that my sister-in-law just couldn't believe how much faster her computer was running. I thought this was odd - I had installed XP SP2 and defragged the HD but I hadn't noticed any great speed increase when I was playing with it.
After talking to her about it I finally got the translation. It seems "My computer is so much faster" = "I can browse the internet a lot faster now". Heh.
Thunderbird will have to wait though. I installed 0.7.3 on my system the other day and wasn't too impressed. I'll give it another try when 1.0 final comes out.
"It is very buggy," Ingevaldson said. "It didn't even write information to its data file correctly."
Stupid question: Can you think of a program that was written to appear broken, but actually functions in a way that is not immediately apparent? The thought crossed my mind when I saw everyone writing this off as buggy code.
"Diagnosis is not the hard part."
How about a correct diagnosis? Not one that is 'not remotely in doubt' but the correct one. I'm sure years ago doctors didn't doubt their diagnoses either: "Fever, chills? Obviously Bad Blood - get the leeches"
You get Allie McBeal in the UK? Nasty. I secretly hoped that the worst American TV had to offer never made it across the pond.
I live in the US(GMT -6:00) and Futurama is on Sundays at 6:00PM. Which means that it's never shown due to overtime football games, infomercials, re-runs of 1980's sitcoms, etc. I think Fox is trying to kill the show.

SpaceAnts returned to Earth. Hastily dug, but severely weak tunnel systems collapsed. Ants all dead. What a bummer....
