I have to agree... If your so opposed to google setting up their business and trying to comply with local laws, as they do the world over, then you should stop supporting the chinese goverment by buying their products.
Of course would anyone actually stop?
Lets face it we've become dependant on their cheep breakable junk. Its sad in a way, theirs no more quality or longjevity in things these days.
Now this I agree with Dyslexia has ruined part of my life, I can talk at a far higher level then I write when I dont stutter over a word that is.
The real problem for me as a dyslexic isnt that words come out back to front but that entire sentences come out in the wrong order.
Think of it this way, you have words 1,2,3,4,5,6 in one sentence now i could say those 6 words in the right order a few times then one time it might come out as 3,4,5,6,1,2 simply because my minds skipped over to the end before the start. Its happened to me when I write also, its extremely frustrating to write something and find that half of your sentence is simply not there because your mind went onto the next sentence you were thinking of instead of finishing the current one.
As to the lack of formatting in the original post I'm not sure why it ended up like that as I did format it in the comment box but it seemed to come out as one huge chunk after I posted it.
English is my native language thank you very much.
I dont use my dyslexia as an excuse I was just commenting on the irony of it.
And you know everyone makes mistakes especially in throw away comments on an internet message board.
Now you know who else makes mistakes?
The people who edited a book I just finished reading, they made 3 obvious spelling mistakes in 2 pages and I wasnt even looking for them.
Hi:)
I have to admit i'm not spectacular at grammer or well english in general but i like to think of myself as literate and fully capable of speach and comprehension.
Ironically i'm also Dyslexic yet i can outperform most of my fellow students.
I truely believe that its the way our modern over marketed society is heading, people are on the whole becoming dumber and dumber the basic jobs these days require less and less as their increasingly becoming more automated while the high end jobs are becoming more and more specilized to the point where a person doing one thing might have no idea about the other stages of their work.
And looking back into history its not hard to see why this is given that the entire premise of the education system was founded by industry wanting assembly line people to replace skilled tradesmen and artisans, they wanted mass produced people to push buttons not inteligent independant thinkers.
Uhm...
DnD has allways really been a tactical game, depending on how you approach it.
I remember playing ADnD and the DM putting out a massive (1mx500mm) grid on the table and drawing on it with washable marker and things, we used lil plastic soldiers for markers and so on.
Now i'm not saying DND is allways about tactical combat but it certainly is a core theme of it, given its origins.
All that aside i havnt seen this rule book myself, but it does sound interesting, the idea of a better/different armour system and also more powerfull "basic" non magical classes sound good to me.
Makes a big change from the "invincible" mages you end up facing so much:(

still.. better then before but no way i would get in one..
That said might be better then walking near one...
Did you ever consider, that this might have been a selling point to the chinese goverment when the company went to them ?
Think about it..
Stylish.. modern, american looking, AND it helps reduce the population!
I guess..
That this is what happens when you have EU based Saftey regulations for car design...
maybe you guys in the states shoudl strap some body onto a renalt and ship them off in place of some of the hummers ?
(i joke i joke:) i know you guys in the military recive much better vehicles then the civilian versions )
Uhm.. forgive me for being stupid here, but doesnt a 64 bit os require... 64bit drivers? Sure they may work with 32bit but unless its been made to support windows XP64 then i dont see how you can complain when a non certified non compatible bit of software doesnt work with a new OS.
Don't be stupid mate, nothing will turn people off "open source" faster then OO, it sucks, uses massive amounts of memory, and turns out things that don't allways "work"
But hey, open source, everyone go have a joygasm just cause its got open source at the front of whatever it is your peddling today!:P

Actually despite the sillyness perhaps switching to more power efficent chips like opterons would be a good thing.
