Not to sure about the actual flying mounts, as being so high off the ground that you can bypass areas. One of the recent interviews mentioned that to travel to areas would require a boat, player made or wait for the scheduled one. If you could actually fly then that would not be required.
They also talked about how much of an adventure it will be for everyone as they will long travels between spots, if you could fly and bypass all that how much of an adventure would it be?
Go give EQ2 a try, they have a downloadable free access.
I was originally in WoW then switch to EQ2 and found it alot better. Soloing is extermly possible and there are also alot of quests that require groups.
I have it chaked up to that her adopted mother died and Leia had not been informed that he was adopted.
After all here adopted parents where rulers of the planet, since she was called princess you could assume that her adopted father was king, so why would you tell her of the adoption and allow that to come out. Considering who her father was, why tell her about Padme was and allow that to somehow spread?

It is not a matter of the definition of SPAM
on
Circumventing CAN-SPAM
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
Both political and charity based mailing are exempt from from the CAN-SPAM law; same as they are exempt from the Do Not Call list. So it is not a case of definition or a loop hole, they are specificly allow to do so.
What was really funny in the Florida case is that they guy had campaigned on SPAM and had pushed for tough anti-spam laws. Then to top it off they released a message saying "This is not spam. This is truthful, it's straight forward. We're honest. To be spam it has to be, under Florida law, defined as being deceptive." No matter how it goes that is all just funny.
BTW there has been a court case over the exemption for political and nonprofit organization, the FTC argued that they were less likely then for-profits to abuse the practice.
What put Galileo under house arrest were two fold.
1) He was going against all the mainstream scientist of the day and saying that Aristotle was wrong. Aristotle even had people killed or exiled for saying the earth moved around the Sun.
2) He could not prove what he was saying. He had opportunity to prove what we was saying was the truth but could not. The evidence and math existed to prove it but that was done by a different person, and Galileo had problems accepting work not done by himself. It was not until Newton that it finally all came together and a proof could be shown.
Back before the gateway store and when they were Gateway 2000 they were a great company.
Purchased a few hundred computers from them for work and 4 for personnal and family use, and they were great.
They use to have far better tech support, better prices and better technology used. Then they decided to grow huge in the consumer market and that did them in.
The other thing they were really good for was when you were purchasing newer technology systems, all other places would place a premium price on them, Gateway charge a fixed overhead and profit.
That quote false attributed to president Bush has been disproven so many times the only people who still use it are either very stupid or doing so on purpose. Which are you?
SOE manages matrix online, and planetside. Also NCSoft has Auto Assualt on the way.
Also you forgot Turbine, they have two big ones Middle Earth Online and D&D Online.
Doing a search reveals quotes such as "No, we've had no evidence that Saddam Hussein was involved with September the 11th," which predates thoses two speaches. Also that speach and that resolution do not say anything about Shadam helping with 9/11. It does mention that they were were present in Iraq. If you want quotes linking Sadam and al-qaeda check the 9/11 commissions report.
In fact Bush never said anything about Sadam being connected to 9/11, and has many times said it was not the case.
What is really interesting is the various survys where they asked the US population about it, the majority of people who do believe this do not classify themselves as Republicans. Also the surveys number of people that believed this increase as 'fahrenheit 911' gained in popularity, and it was not into Feb/Mar of 2005 when it decreased back to previous numbers.
You have 1/3 of the items right.
In a speech and in various letters released the reason Jacques Chirac and the French government gave were:
1) Economic, France was losing around 70% formerly legal contracts.
2) They were more focused on making peace between the palistians and Isreal. I am giving you credit for hte cause havoc.
3) That renewed inspection could be achieved and UN Resolution 687 could be enforced by some other means. France believed that Irak had WMD but that they could be found by inspectors and other means then war.
What freedom on speech in France? Let look at some recent court decisions
1) To call France a "slut" is an attack on the dignity of the country. The french rapper faces three years in prison and a fine of 75,000.
2) Enforcing Yahoo to make sure that servers based not in France must block French citizen from seeing nazi related goods. Whats good for china is good for france I guess.
3) Fined Reporters without borders for using a poster of che guevara to protest imprisonment of reporters in cuba.
My hunch is that modern USPS and overnight delivery services did the most damage, though."
In an interview I heard yesterday the reason Western Telegram gave was cheap long distance calls, cheap and easy to get cell phones and cheap and easy to get to e-mail.
They put a notice that for MS-SQL, and some other business software, they are planning to go on a 2 year release cycle and that the 5 years was far to long.
The basic reason most business purchase an upgrade contract for a few years and with it taking multiple years between releases people were not purchasing them.
EQ2 does work by creating multiple instances. What happens is that if one intance of a zone fills up it creates a new one, and then when you enter the area you have to select which one you want to enter. You also have dungeons that create an instance just for your party.
Microsoft did not even have an alternative to OpenGL in development when Microsoft pulled out of OpenGL.
No, the only way this is true is if you consider the DirectX 10(coming maybe with vista) is the Microsoft alternative to OpenGL. Microsoft pulled out of OpenGL in March 2003 by that time DirectX 9.0 had already been released.
Most? Try all. The exception would be countries like China who have made thier levels because they had no levels to make.
Germany is the closest to making it because they got to count all the old factories that operated under East Germany and with the unification most of htoses were closed down and the ones that are open have been upgraded. Even with all that Germany economy will need to loose alot more jobs before they can have a chance of meeting thier requirement.
You complain about co2science by using realclimate???
realclimate is run by the same PR firm(Fenton Communication) that gave up the alar scare and many more of that nature. They use to just hire people make up stuff like realclimate, but people starting pointing back to them so they got smart.
With realclimate they run the server but the don't send a paycheck to the people who put up the info, instead those people are get money by being hired by to give speaches, testify,etc. If you can get a job with them to put up web site content for free do it, the money will roll in.
Apple seems the most likely to pursue an MPEG-4 standard-based approach -- not surprising given that its technology forms the base of the MPEG-4 specification.
I was tring to advoid MS-MPEG4 because of it one of thoses standards that micrsoft took and then added thier own stuff which made it compatable. Depending on the time you purchased stuff you had to make sure it specificly supported MS-MPEG4 if you needed that capability.
As for Microsoft having the first MPEG-4 codex I will take your knowledge on that, not sure why since you have proven multiple times your knowledge is worthless, what does it matter? The public release of MS-MPEG4 was incompatable with the official standard for a long time and when brought up to standard was serverly lacking in capability, since it is not in Microsoft's direction to support it but instead they want people to use thier own formats.
Got learn some basic stuff about computer history, kid.
Stac vs Microsoft had nothing to do with incompatabilities, DOS 6.0 released with Stac code, Microsoft lost lawsuit, they released 6.21 with NO disk compression, then released 6.22 which was rewritten to advoid using the code they had stolen.
Other companies dealing with Stac does not matter because it was you that said that Microsoft had never stolen other peoples code and was not know for doing so. Both of them as previously shown are false.
Your killing your own argument with the examples you mentioned.
Excluding the current license of the defragger Microsoft has purchased all thoses companies, and modified them to support the Microsoft standard, dropped support for other platforms and standards and the only nice thing lowered the price of them. It does not disprove the assertion that microsoft sets its own standards and then makes sure others defacto and dejure standards will not easily work. The OP examples are not disproven. So ask yourself, how much do you really know about Microsoft and what technology they have EVER stolen or taken or recreated.
3 quick ones where microsoft has stolen/taken other peoples technology you could almost write on book on all the examples: Eolas: Allowing Internet Explorer to use plug-ins and applets, Stac: Disk Doubler, Syn'x: Used code it had stolen.
Microsoft is very much known for stealing from others, and factors that into thier costs. They are currently at around 50 lawsuits where they are charged with stealing technologies. If you have spend any time looking at Microsofts dealing with other companies it is a well known thing that they are going to do 1 of 3 things; purchase the company, use your ideas, or delay you while they develop thier own product in secret.
Also MPEG4 is based on quicktime architecture not microsoft. Also microsoft has been doing everything it can to kill it off, support for it is very poor and extremly limited. Microsoft wants you to uses its standards not mpeg-4. And your comment only applies to the first divx codex where yes they took the microsoft codexes hacked them to allow stuff microsoft had lockout, the new stuff is all clean room written stuff.
Yes microsoft has submitted alot of ideas to various standard groups but the real question is how many of them have they implemented? IE7 sure is not going to be supporting alot of them, even thoses microsoft submitted. Try taking stuff that microsoft is releasing now and applying the standards that Microsoft has submitted, they are not compatable.
Finally your example of highlght a word in any application, and change the font, or copy it now it was not a micosoft idea it already existed in lisawrite which was predated by Xerox Star which had some of that capability. Microsoft does get credit for innovating a talking paperclip.
If you go by the 2004 presidential election results that is not the case.
Between Bush and kerry they were statisticly tied with thoses voters who had a college degree, and bush had a far high amount of thoses with no college degree. Where kerry had high numbers were with thoses with no high school degree and thoses with postgrad studies.
The oreilly/stewart survey was interesting until you see the median age of the viewers. For stewart it is mid 30s, prime salary period and they grew up in a time period when a college education is considered rather standard even for "blue collar" type jobs. For oreilly the median age is mid 60s, retirement and lower salaries, also they grew up in a time period when they are less likly to have require an advanced degree, especially females.
However for the late night crowd stewart's audiance does have a political knowledge ranking over leno or letterman, but less then nightline.
The no deaths in North America to wildwolves changed last November. Up in Canada some student was killed by a wild wolves while out in a forest. There have been more deaths from captive wolves.
However the basis for fear is not just thoses ones you mentioned, the main thing is the passing down of europian stories, like little red ridding hood and others. In Europe you did have a large number of attacks from wolves in the far past. In one area of France you even have records of over 60 deaths in the 1760s.
I guess that depends on what your definition of paid off is. No matter what howling mad Dean says numerous Dems accepted pay off from Ambramoff. Check into Byron Dorgan of North Dakota and Max Baucus of Montana for just two of many.
Both parties were very happy to accept money, it was just that from 2000 to 2004 of the millions of dollars given republicans received $127,000 more.
The ACLU very much supports the right to freely exercise one's religion.
That is not really the case. Was reading of theses stupid lawsuit web sites and they had a lawsuit that the ACLU is helpping to file where they are sueing a local council member. This crime, he sent out, using his own money and time(his wife made them), Christmas cards that showed the Statue of Liberty and a cross on them to friends and acquantices. They are claim it was illegal since he has a seat of authority that it is an official endorsement of a particular religion.

I have it chaked up to that her adopted mother died and Leia had not been informed that he was adopted.
After all here adopted parents where rulers of the planet, since she was called princess you could assume that her adopted father was king, so why would you tell her of the adoption and allow that to come out. Considering who her father was, why tell her about Padme was and allow that to somehow spread?
