The tagging system is a nice idea, but in the current incarnation it seems that the primary function is to collect the most common (and therefore trite) snide comments that people make, and post them at the top of a story. I see absolutely nothing wrong with this. I can't count how many laughs I've gotten out of reading the tags that get associated with articles. That's not how they were "intended" to be used? Oh.
I'm very sad that I just used all of my mod points in other articles as this was infinitely more funny than were any of the other things on which I spent points.
I've been using Bitstream Vera Sans Mono for almost a year now, at work. I find it a lot easier to look at for hours than Courier and something about Consolas bothers me. Don't judge it by that huge example on the site I linked. Install it and try it at 10 point.
There's a big difference between integrating created words using real suffix rules to do things like squishy->squishyness or effect->effecter and integrating created words that are based off of a real misunderstanding of spelling or english constructs.
My favorite (read: the one that makes me plan to burn things) is "should of" in place of "should've" or even the more extracted "should have". THAT, Captain, is unacceptable.
I see no problem with taking poetic license with words when it's in the name of making speech more colorful. One might even say that people who do that are effecters of a more colorful language.
Furthermore, if people are thinking enough to put suffixes on words to make them suit their meaning, I'd say they are pretty exempt from this whole discussion of people who can't write coherently anyway.
1. Make sure there is a ridiculously powerful class/race combination in the game that requires absolutely no skill but that (with only five buttons) can do 350 damage per second perpetually at enormous range against other classes that have no defense whatsoever.
After this I figured you must be talking about hunters versus some cloth which I assume to be mages.
But then:
5. Give spellcasters the damage mitigation equivalent of a WWII destroyer.
...and I wondered.
Which class exactly did/do you play?
If it takes 120 hours to reach a specific level, just say 120 hours and don't convert it to days. I don't know many people who can stay up for 5 days straight, playing a game or not.
If your parent plays WoW, as he says he does, he probably put it that way because the game's response to a time played query (/played) returns it in _d, _h, _m, _s-type format. We're used to referring to our/played in days.
For the record, Diablo 1 and StarCraft and AFAIK Warcraft 2 (bnet edition) are still playable online. Blizzard is not wont to turn off their services because of a decline in use.
If I want radar, http://wunderground.com/ has nexrad which blows everything else away (storm tracking, angle adjustments, configurable maps)
I haven't found anything (at least as far as radar and other animated maps go) that was more useful and comprehensive than this one: http://www.rap.ucar.edu/weather/

How does you running in limited-rights mode make his statistic "wrong"?

I can't wait for my Gaussian Blur to time out and my Levels adjustment to 404.
Not quite, Captain.

Yeah. I pretty much turn my speakers on after I've booted up and off before I restart/shutdown.
