I would prefer this than regular messaging. When you see the words being typed, it means the other person is there, right now.
No more lags as the person you're typing to gets bored and starts checking out web pages or IM other people. Keeps the conversation flowing and total time MUCH shorter.
It's a real eye opener when the game you've been pouring time into for virtual stuff disappears one day.
You realize that it's all nothing, that the items you've spent time and effort creating, "CCP can simply change a number in a database and suddenly have 1 million of the item"
Casual gamers won't care. But EVE online isn't a casual game. You can't just hop in your spaceship and advance, you have to put some serious effort into it.
Instead of just reading stuff that conforms to your worldview, college has taught me how to better analyze different points of view, the evidence behind it and draw my more accurate interpretations, while understanding the limits of my own knowledge.
Debating on the Internet in good faith taught me that.
Also, at what point did it become a good idea to buy illegal drugs over the Internet? What exactly do you plan on doing when your 10k in Cocaine doesn't show up at your doorstep?

Well then who ran into Iraq and gassed it's citizens with weapons of mass destruction?
Oh yeah. Iraq did. They actually took credit for it.
It's amazing how no one has heard about this.
Look for the Halabja poison gas attack.
You sit around for 2000 years not advancing and waiting for the next fisherman to show up.
How do you know being a racist that sleeps with underage women isn't the height of enlightenment or saintly behavior?
Increase in share price would be a reflection on MS's ability to grow.
There's is no where for MS to grow anymore.
Imagine them being a power company, that has already extended everywhere. Short of banning birth control, you can't make more customers.
Did you find out their power needs and then figure out how much it would cost to buy, move, and install those solar panels?
Did you even figure out how much space they would all take up? Or if solar panels in places which have sandstorms

is a good idea at all?

What about non-game products?
How about a language translator you need for a 3 day trip? Then when the trip is over, you return it.
What about a VIN number researcher? And when you're done, you return it.
But when are those 28nm CPUs coming out?
Mostly for your ATI video cards. The heat output of your 6000 series is incredible. Love the industrial fan though.
You know you can take those classes right now? Colleges still accept money.

If everyone who didn't have a job, gave up looking for one, we'd be at 0% unemployment.
I want to do things that are easy. Is it...just me and Johnny? I thought it was was of those "Being alive" things.
Huh. I thought their problem wasn't the price. But that they weren't building them.
I kept on reading about Tesla. And I wondered how they could go so far without actually delivering cars to buyers.
Oh wow. Imagine what a Beowulf cluster of $5 wrenches could accomplish!
Huh. I like to eat, and I spend hundreds of dollars on food every month.
Looks like I should just go steal the food instead.
She is someone who is a role model, and has lead a good life.
There are people who can't stand that, it reminds them of how little they've done. So they try to tear it down.
You can run two wallets???
Sure, it started out to stop drunk drivers and prevent accidents.
It's now being used as a way to bring prohibition back.

How is the dollar backed by the US government?
Can you go to the US government and have your dollars exchanged for gold or land?
