There are other MMOs that are like that. For example, guild wars has many people in towns, but where you do most things the number is 8 (or 16 for certain missions). It is not as big as WOW but it has a good number of people. Guild wars has no monthly fee and totally online. No LAN based play.
As for batttle.net, if it is like the diablo II days, they are in trouble. It sucked back then.
They already do write down the mileage when you get the emissions checked. Not for the safety check I think. The info is in the DMV database. maybe the DMV database is so screwed up that the tax people do not want to touch it.
You can have a backyard pool and not have a fence around it? It is a law everywhere I have lived. If you have a pool you must have a 4 foot (or higher) fence around the yard or pool.
It may be different in other countries. The 6 US states that I have lived in all have had that law.
Was the RIAA around back in the days of the cassette tapes? Why did they not go after people copying those tapes? Did the RIAA know that the cassette would at some point break or wear out so it was not an issue? MP3s last a long time but not forever. I have copied my collection to a few different computers now and I have had to re-rip a lot of it. The songs started to sound wrong. They had pops and squeals and scratches that were not there before. If the RIAA left people copying cassettes alone since the cassettes would go bad for some reason, they same can be said for MP3s. At least for me anyway. It may take a longer time for the 'damage' to happen.
If this is for distribution, again why did the RIAA not go after the cassette people? I remember seeing one cassette player playing and 15-20 others recording the music while I was in college. There was a room setup for it. I really doubt that I was alone. Yet I never heard of the RIAA going after college students back then.
The other day I remember there being a lot of ads for mate one on CNN. The many good looking 'single' girls that are in my area ads from mate one were funny.
Mate one is a hook up site. Or see how many single guys you can get to respond to my ad site. I am not sure which. Cause the census of 20 25-40 year old people by me agree that most of the ads from women, are ads from guys pretending to me women.
I wonder if big sites are using ads rotation from another site, and that other site got hijacked? It seems odd that CNN or other big named site would let 3-4 big dating ads appear per page in news stories. In yahoo email, maybe, but on the search or main page, no. Could the ad servers been compromised? maybe.
Mainframes today pack a lot into a smaller space. This was not true in the past.
One could argue that the blade server design is a mainframe. The hot swap is there, smaller footprint is there. Hell even IBM sells them.
I have not worked with any windows data center edition edition server. I know a few who have. Those things to me are windows mainframes. A 128 processor with 512 GB RAM system* is one hell of a server. The data center version of windows may be able to run with these mainframe systems. All I have seen them used for is big database setups. I haven't seen any other use yet. The name mat of the version may be holding people back from trying. Not sure, where I am at we can not even think about buying one of those systems.

From the article: "From Friday through July 11, consumers in the U.S. will be able to buy an upgrade copy of Windows 7 Home premium for $49 or Windows 7 Professional for $99."
No ultimate and an upgrade not full though. But the upgrade from XP is a full wipe install anyway.
And I do agree with others who said that upgrade from vista ultimate should be free to win 7 ultimate.
I actually wonder what would happen if this can be made real? All that solar energy. Countries move away from oil. What happens to countries which depend on oil for revenue? Will the oil countries start a war to stop the other countries from making/using this solar energy from space?
I hope no war breaks out if this can be made into reality. But human greed says some kind of war will happen if space solar energy becomes reality.
If they were not reusing certain parts (the boosters and the big fuel tank) they could have used all metric. Since I can't see how noting on the designs that the rocket boosters are 6 feet/1.8288 meters wide (just an example I do not know the size of the boosters) would cost 370 million. A complete redesign is more likely behind the figure.
There are very, very few exceptions. Speeds are measured in miles per hour, but engine capacity is in litres. Beer still comes in pints but a standard spirit measure is 25ml. And anybody actually building something (whether it's hi-tech or a house) will be using metric.
Last I checked the houses being build around here: have all 16 inches (or 12 inches if you paid more or 24 inches if paid less) of space from center of the wall stud to next one, the house is so many feet by this many feet, the water heaters are 40, 50, 80 gallons. These were home build in the last 18 months.
Maybe in Europe metric is king. Not yet over here.
At least the schools are using metric for the science measurements. The university research programs are using metric. It is a start, all be it a slow one.
Some people cannot wait. They like apple stuff so much that even if they just got a new phone, laptop, or ipod, when the new one comes out they still have to get the new model one. often they sell they 'old' one on ebay or to a friend.
The area of the middle east was mostly nomadic tribal peoples. What often happened when two of these groups met? If one group wanted something from the other, often some kind of violent thing happened. There were trade routes and traders, but wars were fought over control of those trade routes.
There is a very ling history of violence in the middle east that has nothing to do with any other people other then those from the middle east. This is hopefully changing. I am all for nonviolent means for change to happen. There are those who do not understand anything but violence. It is also sad that in many places those same people are also in power.
How many artists have made it big totally on their own? The record companies made a system where artists need to go to them in order to make it big.
There are many artists who now have recording studios in their own homes, but when they first started out, they needed the record companies.
Personally I feel that if a song cost $1, then 50 cents goes to the artist while the rest is split up among the recording people and everyone else. Too bad it is more like 90 cents to the record company, 1/4 cent to the artist and the rest to everyone else.
With this verdict, the RIAA will go after more people. Imagine if the porn companies see this as a way to get more money. If they go after p2p users...
That bike trail that I cross over every day is not a good place to ride a bike?
And 'main street' is not the 6 lane highway. The 6 lane highway (495 or the beltway) is what most people use to get from point a to point b. But it is not what most people would call main street. last I checked there is not a place to stop and get gas or shop on that 6 lane highway. You need to exit the highway onto *gasp* smaller roads that some might call "main street" for the town you are in. Actually Most of the exits off of 495 are also major roads. Some do have shopping though.
Not to troll here, but is that actually true? It is a fact that the poles have shifted many times over the Earth's history. Are we close to it happening again? The changing of the pole would screw up a lot of things. Is it an instant switch or does it take a few 100 or thousand years?
Also remember that voting in Iran is not private. They watch you place your vote. Could intimidation be used? Well, what if they person standing there holding the big gun/knife moves their hands on said gun/knife if you start to mark the choice they do not like? I say yes, that was a very big possibility.
Would you trust 20 Iranian government approved counters? That could be the main issue. The supreme ruler wants person A. The election winner is person A. Surprise?
Wasn't this vote done with mostly paper. The reports of the voting I saw had people holding up some paper. Or was that just something that said they voted?
There are a few other people who are commenting the same way that I have seen. Is it some html edit that is missing? Scrolling down all that way to read a 10-11 character wide column is a really annoying. Or is that what you were going for?
Are the penalty fees still the same? last I heard it was the cost of the license with no discounts + (3*the cost of the license with no discounts) per machine. Say the license was $100 (to make the math easy) it would be $400 per machine. That can add up fast if you are a medium or large shop.
Most businesses have volume license XP keys. They do not buy XP at all. Well, they sort of do pay. They pay a yearly subscription to use those volume keys. Will all those XP keys stop working? Maybe. If microsoft does that, they will be inviting those companies to go to an OS other then one from microsoft. I think those enterprise volume keys will still work.

How many people still blamed Dell for those bad batteries?
Also a good design on paper/computer screen is not always a good design in the field.
It outputs video over the earphone jack?!? So the zune uses a sound out port for a video out port as well?
That seems wrong. I have to go look up the specs on a zune now. I try never to go look at microsoft's website.
