"Noone cares about your opinion" is not an opinion, it's a false statement. Now if you said "I don't care about your opinion" or "I think you're an idiot", that would be perfectly fine.

Oh look, another example of throwing money at a tech solution to the symptoms of a problem rather than the cause.

I use FireFox and IE side by side and there are 3 things that I don't like about FF: 1) Scrolling isn't as smooth. 2) There isn't an option to have links underline when mouseover. 3) The Slashdot render bug (supposedly fixed in versions after 1.0, but I still think it's amusing).

I used to have glass bottled coke all the time in Mexico- I thought it tasted better, but at the same time they loaded them down with like double as much caffine, so I was probably just addicted to the caffine. Mexican coke is made with real sugar instead of corn syrup. That's why it tastes better.

Flac is worthless for portable audio considering that 1) they're like 5 times bigger than lossy audio formats (which is a concern if you're going flash-based over hdd-based) and 2) the supposed better audio quality is pointless given the whole system isn't audiophile quality by any means.

Margo, druids don't suck but be prepared to spec out your character to be a healer if you want to be useful at all in parties. We can heal very well, and in a pinch take damage in bear form, but as far as dealing out any melee damage you can forget about it. Spell damage is another thing but if you'...
