So after NOD lapsed and I was too lazy to go hack it to not be an issue I got some manner of trojan upon my system. Of course during the two or three days I was being lazy I also had all of my gear on my Paladin, Warlock, and Priest vendored and sent off to some lucky winner elsewhere. Twenty-Three days later I had my issue resolved and I believe ( Read more... )

I was reading through Talk Origins as I do when I have questions about evolution. It's basically the most comprehensive and easily accessible collection of evolutionary knowledge I've seen on the net to date.

Reading up on Bush's head speech writer from 2000 to 2006, specifically his self agrandizing antics, led me to find his repository of Washington Post articles.

The topic of games, or more specifically World of Warcraft, coming between couples has been something I've been a party to my entire life. I've been a gamer since I was five or six, transitioning between consoles, PCs, fields, and card tables at various points. Recently a woman outlined her issues with WoW here. Basically she echoes what have been ( Read more... )
