    But it looks like he gave it to Paypal, then gave his Paypal info to Skype.

    So now Skype can do whatever they want with his money?

    Well, that's the first browser-based game I've tried to play that isn't cross platform.

    Hence, rendering the whole facility useless, and causing you extra inconvenience.

    Disabling an insecure security feature is not an inconvenience.

    He knows attractiveness better than people with both interference from emotional attachments and good reasons to lie about their opinions.

    Again, bullshit. If you think attractiveness is or can possibly be objective, you never got tired of talking to a beautiful but incredibly stupid woman.

    Yeah, everyone knows the superior cosmetic enhancement techniques all involve acid.

    Yup. You take some, and don't worry about your looks anymore. Compare Michael Jackson.

    With 25,000 of work, she could probably look like a movie star.

    Why do people still think knives are instruments of beauty? Can you show me anyone who looked better one year after their surgery than they did before?

    The chances of your wife being 'deeply beautiful' are almost nil.

    If that's true, you fucked up. Why the hell do you marry someone in the first place?

    And no men don't gradually find girls they live with to be more and more attractive over time.

    Bullshit.

    On the other hand, women find men they like to be more attractive than they really are.

    So now you know attractiveness better than the people whose opinion actually matters to each other? How is this crap Insightful?

    does that imply that change has not been constant in other times?

    Actually, it's an inherent property of the universe. You know, quantum physics and stuff.

    IRIS[1] stands for "Integrated Raster Imaging System", and was the name of a series of SGI hardware.

    When has democracy been anything other than the will of the majority?

    Most of the 'lag' in Warcraft comes from the user end, as opposed to any server creaking.

    And I find it a bit ironic you trust pirates of all people to deliver you a product free of root kits and trojans.

    Like Securom or Sony's crap? Yeah, I trust the pirates more than the original.

    If you're really worried, look at the feedback for the torrent. Or look for names of groups who pride themselves on the quality of their cracks. There's an entire subculture based on that.

    And if the whole release is a .avi, there's not much to talk about anyway.
