    I'm sorry, but your analogy is garbage. You did not PAY MONEY for the document that you are editing in Excel, and Excel documents can be backed up. Items on MMOs cannot be "backed up."

    The code that Slashdot operates upon, the "Slashcode," if you will, has implemented the breaking apart of long strings to prevent any kind of page widening exploits.

    In other words, it was added by the medium, and not the author.

    While that looks like a great game, I don't believe it's actually a MMORPG per se, in that there's no persistent environment. It appears to be a game more along the lines of Diablo 2, where your characters persist, but the groups you play with are not "massive."

    Paying a monthly fee is really become fairly standard for most massive games ... although most older ones are hideously inexpensive now, and usually are a free download with a trial period or a bargin bin buy with a free month included.

    If you're too miserly to pay for a current MMO and the subscription, why not try something like AO, or UO, or AC, which are cheap as hell.

  22. The Republican Party is dying on Libertarian Badnarik an Election Spoiler? · · Score: 1

    It is official; Netcraft confirms: the Republican Party is dying

    One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered republican community when IDC confirmed that republican voters have dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of all voters. Coming on the heels of a recent Netcraft survey which plainly states that the Republican Party has lost more members, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. The Republican Party is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last in the recent poll of registered voters.

    You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict the Republican Party's future. The hand writing is on the wall: the Republican Party faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for the Republican Party because the Republican Party is dying. Things are looking very bad for the Republican Party. As many of us are already aware, the Republican Party continues to lose members. Red ink flows like a river of blood.

    Log Cabin Republicans are the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% their homosexual fiscal conservatives. The sudden and unpleasant departures of long time Log Cabin Republicans Jordan Hubbard and Mike Smith only serve to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: the Republican Party is dying.

    Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.

    Republican leader Theo states that there are 7000 members of the Republican Party. How many members of the Log Cabin Republicans are there? Let's see. The number of Republican Party versus the Log Cabin Republican posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 Log Cabin Republicans. Wacko right wing christian posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of Republican Party posts. Therefore there are about 700 crazy right wing christians. A recent article put insane religious fanatics at about 80 percent of the Republican Party constituency. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 Republican voters. This is consistent with the number of Log Cabin Republican Usenet posts.

    Due to the troubles of Walnut Creek, abysmal sales and so on, the Republican Party of California went out of business and was taken over by RNC who sell another troubled platform. Now RNC is also dead, their corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.

    All major surveys show that the Republican Party has steadily declined their constituency. The Republican Party is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If the Republican Party is to survive at all it will be among platform dilettante dabblers. The Republican Party continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, the Republican Party is dead.

    Fact: the Republican Party is dying
