When I played, it always seemed that the Horde were the adolescents who just wanted to play as a bad guy, all the while deriding the Alliance for choosing characters who look pretty. And that was the attitude from day -14 or so. Personally, I didn't care, as long as the stats were there for the class I chose.

Time to change the name to end that joke once and for all. I propose we name it 'Urectum'.
It's good to know. I got KOTOR2 for Christmas last year and have just been procrastinating playing not, never knowing that it was an incomplete game. Now I'll just have to procrastinate a little longer.
USA readers: check your bills for purchases at Walgreens that you didn't make. A local drugstore chain I previously worked for was recently bought by Walgreens. My fiance was purchasing things for her job with her bosses credit card. Swiped the card, expected them to have to sign something.... nothing. She swiped a card with a man's name on it, and they didn't ask to see ID, didn't ask her to sign a receipt, nothing.
With PERL, someone could probably do it in a one-line script. In the shape of a camel. That will also cook you toast. In fact, I think it's already on CPAN.
I am getting laid, in fact. And I'm getting married next year. I plan on having a child or two, but I would most definitely not bring a child into this world if I could not afford to feed it, clothe it, and give it a chance to survive and prosper. Hence the statement I made about my family suffering for 50-100 years.
A lot of people mention that you can just move if you can't afford to live where you currently are, but that costs money. It's hard to get up in move when you've got debts accrued and you're just starting out with real jobs. And it's especially hard to save money while paying debts and paying the cost of living.
I don't only care about money. I love tech. If I had no other worries in the world, I'd probably sit around and program all day. But when I can't get a house because I the companies don't pay enough to afford one where I'm living, then I have an issue with it. That's my prime issue.. not having enough to live on.
I really don't care about the 50-100 year scale. Is it a little selfish? Yes. But on that scale, it means that I went to college for no reason, since I could have gotten a low-paying job right out of high school. It would have skipped the few years in college and the few years working in the business only to have my job moved to somewhere the people will work for cheaper.
In the best case (50 years), I hopefully won't be working. But if I'm working low-paying jobs because the ones that I studied for are moving away/getting much more competition than anyone ever hoped for, I probably still will be working at that point, as I doubt that the cost of living will drop as quickly as the jobs move away.
In the worst case (100 years), I'll be dead.
So, no, I really don't care if the world becomes an equal playing field after 50-100 years if it means 50-100 years that my family and I suffer trying to make ends meet.
Nintendo's "casual" games aren't really for a casual player. They're more for a non-gamer to get addicted to. My fiance used to play Animal Crossing (both versions) religiously after work. She always quits in the summer, since it's easier to get out when it's warm. She feels guilty when she starts up Nintendogs and her dog has to take a wicked dump and needs a bath and food (but not guilty enough to actually play it more often).
Everyone knows that Shadow has way more attitude than Sonic. Then again, Sonic does have a theme song proclaiming his attitude, and the fact that he's the fastest thing alive.
A little history: There was once a plan to bring about a fascist coup d'etat in the USA. It was planned by the Dupont family, the Remington family, J P Morgan, and General Smedley Butler. The plan was to assassinate FDR, impose martial law, and put a government like that of Adolph Hitler in place. Their patron was Fritz Thyssen who help Hitler come to power. Prescott Bush was one of Thyssen's loyal servants in the USA. Prescott Bush is George W Bush's grandfather.

And we need to know why the PS3 will totally suck! And why everything from Microsoft is evil, except Xbox!
How did Zonk manage to post a PS3 story without turning a cheap jab at Sony that consisted of one sentence in the article into the entire summary?
I like how Firefox originally started as the slimmer, less resource-intensive version of Mozilla. And look where it is now.
That must not be your first UID. I don't ever remember a ton of rational discourse, on-topic discussions or error-free spelling.
MPAA is movies. RIAA is music.

Likely because Microsoft says DX10 is not being backported to Windows XP.

So, slashdot is reporting on Kotaku reporting on a Shacknews post? Are there any more layers we can go through there?
Exactly how old are you? I'm 23, and my first hard disk was 20MB. I wouldn't consider myself to be old.
My mom's into it. Then again, she was into Zelda and Mario games many years ago.
USB.

Does this mean I can finally start my own television station on UHF channel 62?
