Are you kidding? They would choose B in a heartbeat. If they had that, you would have to register your copy. Your name, address, etc and what media you own is beyond golden to them. $.50? Heck, they would give you a new copy free if they had access to everyone like this.
All the kiddie jerks that play the MMOs that trask talk, l33t speak, etc that just ruin the games. Percival Role Play server in DAOC was simply the best place I have ever seen for any MMO. All the kiddies stayed off of it. Too bad Mythic just ran DAOC into the dirt.
You are correct. I've been a web designer for a long time, and I have always hated designing for netscape. With IE I could design just about whatever I wanted in Photoshop, break it apart and make it work in IE. With Netscape it was a lot of teeth pulling and redesigns.
I don't agree. You obviously did not roll on the PvE server, which is made for you.
I play an hour or two a night, sometimes more on the weekends, sometimes less. I have 2 chars at L47 and I have played since launch, one on PvP and one on PvE. With rested xp bonus it's very very easy to progress with only an hour of playtime.
I have played MMOs for years, with wife + kid. Hour or two a night, sometimes more (and less) on the weekend. Zero complaints here.
And common. $15 a MONTH?
I spend more than that on coffee at Starbucks in a week. And for what, 50something cents a day you can't beat it. Lowers my stress level, I have fun and it's better than watching TV.

This will not be a 'cure' for cancer. It will be another 'treatment'.
I used Dirtcheapdiamonds.com. Dont let the name fool you, they are the best quality and simply amazing customer service. My diamond came with all the papers, a jewelers eyeglass, a book, and a very very nice diamond ring case with a light inside when it opens. I saved about 3 grand on my diamond.

An inspiring story from the pages of the Yale Daily News:
The "Harvard Pep Squad" ran up and down the aisles of Harvard Stadium at The Game [between the Harvard and Yale football teams] Nov. 20. They had megaphones in hand and their faces were painted as they encouraged the crowd to hold up the 1,800 red and white pieces of construction paper they had handed out. It would read "Go Harvard," they said.
But the 20 "Pep Squad" members were actually Yale students. And when the Harvard students, faculty and alumni held up their pieces of paper--over and over again--they spelled out "We Suck" in giant block letters the whole stadium could read.
Yalies Michael Kai and David Aulicino, both of whom are to graduate next year, had to overcome great adversity to realize their dream. They originally planned to do this a year ago, and rather than handing the pages out, they taped them to the seats. "The prank derailed when security guards, trying to clear the stadium out during a pre-game bomb scare, asked Kai, Aulicino and their cohorts to leave."
In the year since, they rethought their plan:
They created a system to have the Harvard crowd pass out the 1,800 cards themselves. The "Harvard Pep Squad" went to each row and handed out a pre-ordered stack of the red and white papers. In five minutes, Kai and Aulicino said, all the papers were passed out.
It took a great deal of planning, however, including a road trip to Boston. Kai and Aulicino attended the Oct. 9 Harvard-Cornell football game in Cambridge, simply to scout out the stadium and count the number of rows.
They also created "Harvard Pep Squad" T-shirts and even fake Harvard IDs. "It was almost sad," says Dylan Davey, another Yalie who joined in the gag. "There were all these grandfather and grandmother types--and they all had big smiles, saying, 'Oh you're so cute, I'm so glad you're doing this.' I felt bad for about two minutes. Then I got over it."
#1. For those of you who live down in the desert what happens to Las Vegas when the Colordo river stops turning the turbines in the Hoover dam - the flow rate was down 70% below average last year and we have had 2 wet decades and are now entering into a dry era.
What heppens? They import water. Canals are built for a reason. Then, just like now, they have adapted and go on with life.
#2. All of our fertilizers and pesticides are derrived from oil and natural gas. 90% of an Iowa farmer's costs are directly and indirectly related to the cost of fuel. Every pound of beef produced uses 2500 gallons of water and 16 pounds of grain. Talk about unsustainable.
Unsustainable? You mentioned nothing about not being able to sustain this. Every year advances in farming make everything easier, faster and better to produce.
#3. Right now is a very precarious time in American history and I think war is the last...
Ahh now we get to the heart of your post - Anti Bush. How about staying on topic?
#4. When gas goes up to $7.00 a gallon I don't think you will be laughing as hard.
You must be new here (Earth). Gas used to be 34 cents a gallon when I was born in 1970. What do you think ol Dad and Mom would have said if you told them then 'When gas goes up to $1.90 a gallon I don't think you will be laughing as hard.'? Guess how much MPG my Dads car got back then? 68' Firebird, about 17MPG. Funny, I get 38 in my Toyota Corolla. You can buy a car right now that gets 60mpg. You can build a house right now that gives electricity back to the electric company instead of feeding on it.
#5. Now, I realize that all this ranting does nothing.
"From The Independent: The global warming danger threshold for the world is clearly marked for the first time in an international report to be published tomorrow - and the bad news is, the world has nearly reached it already. For the full store, see this article."
Cool, I can go to this article for the full store. If I went there for only half of a store, I'd be pissed.
I can only vouch for myself and my wife, but when we fast forward *anything* in TiVo we are watching the whatever is being fast forwarded to know where to resume play.
Any banner ad will be 100% ignored simply due to this fact. I may not be watching the commericals, but I am watching them in fast forward to know where to resume play. I sure as heck won't be reading a banner ad.

Exactly. Hardly any company wants to cure anything. It's all about treatments.

Cures are not profitable. Treatments are.

No? Then I dont want it.
It doesn't matter how the thing was made. It doesn't matter what it is. It doesn't matter where or even how it's displayed.
Does whatever it is invoke a feeling in you when you see/hear/touch/taste it?
If so, it's art.
Me too
Nice try.

Well, whatever it is - I sure doubt Blizzard could fix it.
Didn't bother with your second paragraph since you are obviously wrong. I've been in groups and battles far larger than 50 in DAOC with no problems.
I don't know anyone that tried and liked it during its short preview. I was bored to tears. Even free I won't consider playing it.
...but only if you have a security clearance.
That doesn't mean the college doesn't have every students SSN on record.
Yeah, well, I thought eBay was a stupid idea also.. and before that AOL.

"They buy products, apply for rebates, return the purchases, then buy them back at returned-merchandise discounts."
Go ahead. Try this. Apply for the rebate (by submitting the UPC symbol) and then return the product. You can't.
Crap detector going off big time.
