I am not sure if this has been mentioned yet (no time to read all 330+ comments). But how about progress. People want to feel they have progressed in the game. Levels is one way to achieve this feeling.

The same way in a sense, that RPG characters, level up and get stronger, you progress.

So without any levels, you might have an unsatisfied feeling after you finish the entire game.

Users that are logged on to Gmail and click on a malicious hyperlink, can become the victim if the site sends the task "multipart/form-data MAIL" to the Gmail-interface and this injects it into a filter installed by the victem.

The Blog of Petko Petkov seems to be offline or slashdotted.

AkumaReloaded writes "The Bush administration actively censored reports on the environment from the World Bank. This was discovered by the Government Accountability Project (GAP). Apparently Paul Wolfowitz was actively engaged in this censorship. How does this effect the deminishing credit of the World Bank. And can it lower the faith in the Bush administration even more?
