Having to come up with fixes for yet another broken browser is most definitely sad. I can tolerate them taking baby steps towards standard compliance, but before they reach some level where you don't need another whole new set of CSS for it, they shouldn't push it onto people in the form of Windows Update.
A whole ball could actually hold at least a few thousand digits if not more. In a lot of places in China (usually near tourist attractions), there are artists who write your requested messages on rice. After some googling, I could only find these two pretty badphotos. The first seems to be not as good as most I've actually seen, the second just shows an artist working. Another one can give one a real idea of what the masters can do: 42 US presidents on rice.
That's nothing.
The 9th, the company that operates World of Warcraft in China, has a filter that censors anything that might direct business away from them. Emulated servers? They banned the word "server" (which also affected common words like "cloth" and "service"). Hacks? They banned the word "trainer" (which affected the word "hang" that's often used to describe death in a game in Chinese).
And as of a few patches ago, they officially banned their own name...
Why does Microsoft NEED to enter the AV market? Whether they want it or not, their monopoly on operating systems is going to give them a huge, and probably unfair, advantage. They could have simply devoted the resources now used on OneCare to make their OS's more secure; and no one would have a problem with it (not new problems anyway).
And that's probably the real ID proponents' strategy.
By making the concept as ambiguous as possible, they can easily construct the illusion that they have more popular support than they really have.
The motivation to group with English-speaking players should be enough evidence that one is not a gold farmer. They are called GOLD farmers for a reason. They sell gold, and the most effective way to get gold is by farming solo, especially when compared to a P.U.G. In a group, people's objectives usually are to get quests done, or to do instance runs for items. Compared to the gold farmers' usual killing mob's non-stop in Tyr's Hand, being in a group would be a complete waste of time for them.
And on the point of it costing less and better speed and native language, you only got 1/3 right. Sure, it's somewhat cheaper (if you don't play too much every month since you pay by minute in Chinese WoW), but better speed? You have no idea what kind of lag you'll get at peak hour on a server with medium-level population (Chinese medium, not North American medium). At least two people I know has come to play on North American servers because of this lag. And you say native language like it's a good thing. I personally consider that they did a pretty good job translating WoW into Chinese, since it's a lot better than most MMO's which look like they're translated in less than two weeks by a single person suffering from multiple personality disorder paid by minimum wage with only third-grade English education. However, there are still a lot of really annoying errors/quirks. For example, "Private's Tarbard" is translated as "Pirate's Tarbard". Admittedly, I'm probably a little too picky, but I most definitely won't be the only one to choose playing on an English-speaking server just so I can get the original experience.
P.S. Just to give you an idea of what kind of population you are looking at on a Chinese server, here's a screenshot. (Taken on a medium-sized server called Anvilmarr when they were doing the Anachronos memory event)

So did the said jerk rep imposed a quota upon him/herself?
I would think that the only blame lies in Japan with Sony.
Um.. I think Yuri is a perfectly valid Russian name. At least the first man in space has it.
Not to mention all the different chipsets for 775 that are not compatible with all 775 CPU's.
Well, at least if that happens, it would pressure people into developing some alternative to styrofoam.
Because it's just stupid, and full of lies.

They can't have it both ways.
That's probably because they don't want to compete with the toilet paper industry.

People forget, and they always expect things to be different, for the better, this time around. Unfortunately, that's not happening.
From TFA, Patterson does not know if the device has damaged his hearing, said his attorney, Steve W. Berman, of Seattle.
Are those screenshots real? The second one seems to have at least two Windows icons in it...
