Yes, grinding, dis enchanting, etc was boring and it seemed like I never made much money. Towards the end of Cata it seemed like I made more money selling materials I collected in the AH while grinding up to 80. I think connections and info

market PvP I think you just invented a new term that has lots of appeal to me. :) Just saying it: "I want to do some market PvP" makes me ... want? EVE Online probably comes closet to this ... but it reminds me of a prolonged Du

World of Warcraft's Auction House is similarly interesting. It can get really complicated trying to corner the market on different goods, although it's less integral to gameplay over all. It's more like an embedded minigame a

I liked Rainbows Edge because in addition to a nifty story, it felt like a blueprint or use case for the near future. Marshall Brane's Manna did something similar, even if you don't consider it fine literature. Charles Bukows

Rest assured that while the person responsible for the legacy design flaw is perhaps long gone, I'll be right there...waiting, oblivious.

The same applies to EEO offices. They are there to keep the school/company from getting sued by people who might be discriminated against.

When you say 'work' you have to be be explicit in what you mean. Do you mean 'work' as it has come to mean in the industrial capitalist revolution way? Or the kind of 'work' that, say, a forager/gather typ

>I apologize for any offense and hope things get better for you. Just FYI, that can also come across as being belittling. I am not being sarcastic and I can see the ambiguity would be confusing, but that seems like a polite way of saying

Others here are skeptical that just anyone can memorize pi to an arbitrary length. One way you can test if this has to do with you being 14 when this happened, is to memorize phi or e to 100, 200 or so digits with no mnemonic device. Or,
