That is completely wrong. There are in fact real dollars behind all the ISK in the game. Real money was "lost". Just because you can't (legally) convert ISK to Dollars doesn't mean the money isn't real. There are quite a few people who convert Dollars to ISK by buying PLEX (Pilot License EXtensions) in game and selling them on the open market. The economy in Eve is a real thing. Some people (Such as The Mitanni) actually make a living off the game and no longer work. Me, I'm satisfied just making enough ISK to buy those PLEX's and not have to pay for my game in terms of Dollars.

That is a really bad sign. That makes giving them classified message traffic treason, which is punishable by death during time of war. This does not bode well for Bradley Manning.

I see it just fine without TOR.

If EVE counts, then I'm in the last category for sure. I play on the train into work, I do some things that don't require a lot of attention at work, I play on the way home, and until I go to bed. It's an amazing game.

We have a saying. When a player leaves Eve Online for WoW, the IQ of both communities goes up.

I think stupid people get what they deserve. No more, no less. Would I have done that? No. Should she have known better? Yes. Should he? Likely also yes. The difference is, the tattoo artist had a signed release, so as real world trolling goes, he's the winner here. The Dentist comes in second since she's now being investigated for malpractice.

Then again, I'm one of those people who spends most of his waking hours in EVE ONLINE, where people are SUPPOSED to be dicks to one another. :-)

I'm not sure, but I don't think this quite beats the guy who tattoo'd a huge turd on his ex's back. He after all got away with it. :-)

What's wrong? Sad that a black man is in the White House? Why not move to Germany or South Africa, and reminisce about the good old days with the other sad racist fuckers? We certainly don't need your kind here.

It's the only way to fly. :-)

It's rare but it does happen.

In Illinois, you periodically have to retest, as well as pass an eye exam.

is using both hands, and getting proper training. With a requirement of classes, proper training, and recertification - you know, just like we do with driving - this wouldn't be such a huge problem.

I think you are secretly trying to determine who reads what you write, but doesn't post often. ;-)

Rather than slowing things down, set up a real alt, not using one of your two spare character slots. If you're making that much, you can buy two plex's a month in game, right? Train the other one to do cool shit, but take your time. One of my corp mates has an alt that he's done _nothing_ with except train core cert to elite. Now that he has core at elite, all he has to do is train up whatever skills he wants for whatever ships and weapons. That doesn't take all that long.

Or, go whole hog and train up to fly a titan.

Use the GO version of Open Office. It rocks. Never had a single problem with it.

That's possibly true - and totally cool on the reordering of things - that makes more sense. Tom Petty is actually a bit of an asshole, but I agree with him on this, and not just for political reasons. As an artist, I would be horrified if someone took one of my songs and used it to promote a different message than the one I had intended.
