Fuck that!
Feel free to mod me down; shrug. I'm serious: the above pisses me off enough to stop me from buying a dvd for a good amount of time. I know it's not real, but it is true. *growl*
Just wanted to insert a link to Webwasher, great windows ad/javascript/self-proxy program. For IE only...it's the sort of thing to use on your parent's computer, etc.
I don't know about any of you, but when I loaded up their site in Moz 1.0.1, their welcome page just flickers about 2 times per second as it tries to reload itself over and over really fast! It looks like it must be using a horrid amount of bandwidth. Bwahaha...

I don't play EQ but I do play DAoC. If two players with equal character types using equal spells with equal stats are one level apart, the higher level character will win every time, without any doubt.
True that only 1 level doesn't make as much difference as three levels, but that is not my point. My point is that the level based system sucks and the usage-based skill system is superior to it for the reasons posted in parent.
UO is the only popular but unique MMOG out there! EQ, DAoC, AO, blah blah etc. are all clones of the same "leveling" concept, while UO has a sweet usage-based skill / stat gain system. UO is a game where a "perfect" char with top skills can only beat a medium char if he knows what he's doing. A medium char can destroy a weak / unprepared / stupid perfect char.
Unlike the EQs where anyone one level above you is completely unharmed by anything you do to them, and they can kill you in one hit. Bah! UO rocks compared to that BS.
As a player of UO, I can confirm the above posts stating that any newbie who buys one of these premade characters is going to be decimated if he tries to play with the big boys.
In fact, a newbie using such an account will probably be at a disadvantage - for never learning how to gain skills, and never experiencing the improvement of his UO gaming skills over time. And UO remains more awesome than EQ etc. *because* character skill only counts for half of your ability...the other part is your personal experience with the world and its quirks.
Veterans like me on the other hand can buy an account to skip over all the boring newbie skill-gaining stuff that we've done a million times. These chars for sale would save me ~10 gametime hours, and 10 hours of my life is worth a lot more than $30 to me.:)
Mass is irrelevant, but...

This is because inertia increases with mass, *not* because of air resistance. Air resistance is totally separate from the mass/resistance argument, it is merely friction! Like the other guy said, you drop an apple and a car at the same time with no air resistance (like in space, on the moon, etc) they will fall at the same velocity, and hit the ground at the same time.

I've lived in So Cali for two years, and have not felt one earthquake. I didn't move here specifically to be in earthquakes, but still I feel cheated:(
"You feel free to give them $.99 to sell you an MP3 of a song you don't know by an artist you've never heard of. I'd rather just keep asking my Congressional representatives to sponsor legislation prohibiting copy prevention and guaranteeing consumers the right to copy and format-translate any music or movie that they buy."
That sounds just like what *they* are telling us! They would rather just keep asking their pet politicians to sponsor legislation promoting copy prevention etc...
As consumers we do have power, the power of the dollar. Why not use it? I want downloadable CDs for sale, and this crappy song is at least a good start in that direction. Support it!
$1? Make a statement. I'm DLing it right now, for $1 I don't even care *what* the song is. I just want to wave my dollar in the face of this company, to show them that I have dollars to spend on DLing songs!:)
