    Nah. It's a "pretty much everyone but the USA" convention, unless you're talking about ovens for some reason. I've yet to figure out why my oven, sold in Canada, isn't in Celsius... annoying.

    I was finally able to upload a file, and yes, you can distribute links to individual files like you could on MU. So, yes, it'll be another MU.

    For every study, there is an equal and opposite study. That being said, I looked for the antithesis to your study and couldn't find one in a few minutes. I'm sure it's out there somewhere, and someone will be happy to link it just to attempt to prove you wrong...

    It really doesn't. Boxing was fine on Live back in the day. Some people prefer to have social groups. It makes the grind suck less. I mean, unless you're talking about rangers. Rangers are always obsolete. ~

    It isn't just the iPhone 5. It's an iOS 6 issue, not specific to the 5, and not happening on everyone's phone. But yes, I'd double-check to make sure that you aren't going to get charged for that. Sometimes the web portals are slow at reporting data usage.

    Looks like file storage for individuals a-la Dropbox. I've been trying to put a small file on it to see if they're shareable via permanent links but I can't manage to get anything uploaded. Either it's truly beta or it's under way too much stress right now.

    I get what you're saying, but there will always be cliques. Boxing doesn't make that happen -- gamers do. And, let's face it, some of us shouldn't really be allowed to talk to too many people, because it confuses us and makes us seem batshit crazy.

    Lance Armstrong To Confess?

    And then converted to Judaism. Don't forget that, because that's essentially what he's doing now. "I didn't have a choice, everyone was cheating. I trampled on a whole lot of people while I lied through my teeth, but I'm REALLY sorry, folks."

    Lance Armstrong To Confess?

    The "level playing field" argument is bullshit. Just because everyone else is doping, thereby removing your ability to win fairly, doesn't mean you get to jump into the pool (of PEDs) with everyone else. If he were the hero everyone had thought he was, he'd have attempted to win those races...

    Unfortunately, whether you're using the mobile network or not, most phones will continue to hop between towers while you're sitting in a poor signal area. Otherwise, there would be a (very noticeable) delay when your Wi-fi goes away and you switch to your mobile network. You may be right in that...

    No need to imagine anything. You've never done a cross-server dungeon LFG with some tool that rolls Need on everything and says "Oh, sorry, I hit the wrong button! My bad!" like 5 or 6 times?

    You failed your derail saving throw, sorry! Also, you forgot "both ways". I'm told that's vital when using the "uphill" argument.

    Hopefully they'll allow transfers off the PvP server, given that they shouldn't be cockblocking people from playing with their friends. I've never understood MMO companies making that dick move. If the ruleset doesn't allow you to gain an advantage by moving from one server to another, who...

    The problem with the genre, like so many others, is that it's attracted those people and is now "popular". We are the minority. These people, who want everything to be dumbed down because they're slow as molasses in February, are the majority. Game designers that want to get rich design for the...

    Depends on the version of Windows. If it's Vista or newer, possibly not. If it's XP or older, most likely. Are the two laptops similar at all? i.e. both Intel storage controllers? If they are, you have a greater chance of success. Oh, and if your laptops have different CPU brands (if yours...

    If she's that well connected, and not stupid, she'll use anything he says toward her as part of her game. So, no, not overthinking -- just saying, be cautious, she's clearly already manipulative and sometimes, people like that get off playing around with other peoples' jobs. Sometimes, it's...

    Yeah, that would do it. I'd turn off LTE, at least, it'll save you some battery from all the switching.

    Lousy signal will result in a lot of scanning and jumping between LTE and 3G. If you can't keep decent LTE signal, just turn it off, it'll save you a lot of battery. Same with Wi-fi... if you don't have it at work, just shut it off, it helps.

    Warriors are fun, but they were more fun before they could block like a lancer/zerker. That change cheapened them, I think.

    Pookas were the best tanks in the game. Especially hasted. Edit: There were a couple of SK tanks in LoS that did a fair amount of endgame shit, but yes, more often than not, warriors did the hard work. I think I remember us trying Overlord Mata Muram with SKs/Paladins once.

    I was a MT warrior from Kunark all the way through DoN (or slightly after that, can't quite remember), and can attest firsthand that your statement is absolutely untrue. Every guild I was in had Pal/SK in the tanking rotation, and depending on the boss, their snap aggro was a huge bonus as it...
