A fair amount of closed source software I have looked at recently, that has had Linux support, has supported just Ubuntu and maybe Gentoo, having a package for each. I'm guessing enterprise software would support RedHat. It seems like a good way to narrow the number of distros while reaching a large portion of users.
It will be a pain in the ass to do, especially keeping it up to date. As a matter of fact, if there is no "open realm" system that would mean there is no server built in to the game, which would make it terribly complicated to do.
If I'm gonna get a 'Skeleton Case' I don't want it to be tiny and cluttered, I want it to be open and easy to fiddle with. That case looks cramped as fuck. My 20.6" x 8.1" x 17.8" case is cramped with cables already.
Wasn't this done... by that company that makes printed models of your WOW characters using ink printed onto thin layers of plaster? And wasn't that in color instead of white?
It really bugs me when women use their sexual organs to build an accurate scale model of a 17th century cathedral. Is that what you mean by this? Even though it bugs me, I think they should be free to do it.
The issue being referenced was abortion.
Vaccination police on standby. Alert! Alert!... What the hell are you talking about?
I was referring to those campaigning to prevent HPV vaccine approval for those under 18. Because "if they can't get HPV they will have crazy promiscuous sex!"
Bob and his baby sister can't get married now? I mean, Bob's already married to 3 other women and engaged to his mother, but we should respect his choices, right?
The issue I was referring to was gay marriage obviously, but hell... as long as Bob isn't sexually abusing his baby sister what business is it of yours? There you go deciding what is best for Bob... I guess you know best.
In the USA, we have the best health care. Some people merely complain it's expensive.
We have the the best? Is that why EVERY COUNTRY with significantly nationalized healthcare except for China, Thailand, and India have significantly lower infant mortality and longer life expectancies? If you mean, the best income given unlimited disposable income, well you could apply the same standard anywhere: I hear China has excellent personal freedoms! The top leaders of China get to do ANYTHING they want! Some people merely complain that the other 99% of the population have very little in the way of human rights.
Sorry, I do not trust every single person on the road to drive safely at any given speed. I think a vast vast majority of people in the United States wants speed limits. The federal speed limit was enacted in hopes of curbing a national oil crisis.
Several items in your list seem to be describing full on Communism in Soviet-era Russia or China, as far as I know no 'big-government elitists' in the USA have tried to dictate "where you should live, where you should work, how much you should be paid, what you should buy, what you should eat", except that you cannot live certain places zoned non-residential, and how LITTLE someone can be paid.
As for how long you should wait in line... if you think you ever get to 'make a decision about how long you wait' you are delusional.
Granted, there is plenty of paternalism in our government, but it is not directly connected to elitism and it is not all generated by the 'big-government types'. Elitism stems from a belief that people are unfit to run their own society, and is embodied by laws the general populace disagrees with. Paternalism stems from a belief that people are unfit to take care of themselves personally, and is embodied by laws protecting us from ourselves. Plenty of paternalistic laws, such as drug laws, have great support from the general populace and therefore could not be termed elitist.
Still, it is an interesting observation that what the OP wrote is almost identical to what the prevailing attitude has been for most religious people through history. "Round up and kill the theists" isn't that strange/shocking a thing to say at all, with proper perspective.
Now you are arguing a totally different point. You are claiming that being pro-government is inherently elitist. The argument before was about representing the people versus being dictatorial. If it is in the peoples best interest to increase the size of government, and the decision has support of the people, then to do so is not elitist.
Kings may not care what their people do, as long as they (said kings) get to line their pockets with 'tax reimbursements' that favor them greatly over the general populace, no-bid contracts to companies they are heavily invested in, etc.
On the other hand, the Republicans want to control what women do with their sexual organs, want to prevent parents from getting their daughters vaccinated against potentially life-threatening diseases (cancer causing HPV strains), and want to create laws dictating whom you may or may not marry in order to enforce their religious beliefs.
By the way, some of by far the freest countries in the world have nationalize healthcare, and it works EXCELLENTLY.
I do not see how "no cliffhangers" logically leads to "simultaneous release".
If you remember Starcraft 1 at all, you should see how easily the game could be broken up like this, and yet how badly is would affect the story telling to force it into cliffhangers. Part of what was great about StarCraft 1 was how the different plot lines wrapped together.

But Anglush Sharp is cross platform! Atleast... they don't prosecute people who try to port it (Mawno). Yet...
And, it today released Flash 10 for Linux concurrently with other platforms.
It's okay. I just read the tags too.

Just what I've always wanted, RealPlayer on a computer that I own! Can we have QuickTime too?

Google is number 2 to Google? How long till that new upstart 'Google' takes number 3?

Its a 20-organism daisy chain! Damn hippies and their group sex.
You and your infinite improbability keyboard!

Contentious != flamebait, mods.
Considering there was a best-seller with this basic message.
Profound and disturbing, mod up please.
Oh, I almost forgot. FUCKING EXECUTING PEOPLE is very enlightened and nigh unheard of in feudal states yore! Freedom to be killed by the government!

Okay! Get the idiots in the press on it ASAP!

Tags are too verbose for me. I only look at the topic picture.
Hey, Hoodoo and Voodoo are totally different.
The Diablo series is about Hack-and-slash. Removing class distinctions makes the game more strategic and raises the barrier of entry for players.
To hurl chunks, please use the vomit bag in front of you.
The chemical composition of kryptonite was already known - sodium lithium boron silicate hydroxide. And it exists in nature too!
