the governments are totally and all inclusively in fear about the freedom equalization that the net brings to citizens

and when they want to take this and that from us, THEY DO AS THEY PLEASE. with little fight from us, usually.

we should at least realize it, too.

and stop looking to the system to help you. the system IS the problem, don't you see that?

So we should just accept this and lay down and do nothing?

all of those freedoms existed in laws in other countries (example: England) - but they were written down in Latin or French and buried in vaults where only legal scholars with the right education could read them.

I've never heard such a claim, so I can't dispute it. But it seems kind of far-fetched to me. In the interest of enlightening those of us who have never hear this, could you provide resources supporting this information?

After having bought out and/or squashed a lot of good competition, you'd think that Microsoft would have a superb office suite.

Buying and squashing the competition is the very reason they have crap products - what's the point in worrying about complaints about your product, when you're (nearly) the only viable solution on the market?

You make a good point about replayability. A game doesn't have to have infinite configurations so it can be played differently each time, to make it a good, replayable game. All of the HL games are like this - for me, at least. I've played all of the single-player games in the series countless times, but every time I play them pretty much the same, and even though I always have to go along the same path to the next goal, they're replayable because they're fun, and they're big, and the scripting is excellent and the gameplay in general is so good that I like to have that experience many times in the same game.

Say goodbye to life away from your TV/PC. I have. I got it via Steam and was able to start playing at 11pm last Thurs and I've already put in 30 hrs of play time - and I'm nowhere near completing the main story line!

Absolutely no comparison to Oblivion - Skyrim is lightyears beyond Oblivion.

Long range hybrid?

My 2006 Prius gets 350 to 450 miles a tank - usually right around 400 miles.

No plugging it in, it charges when you coast and break or when the engine is running and is putting out enough power for moving the car and charging the battery. Plus, when the car is stopped the engine doesn't just idle, it stops - no pollution when the car is stopped.
