It's the .5 that makes me wonder....

I don't think there is fault in eating dogs, or maybe even cats. I think the real, lets call it problem, is that people will less likely eat something to which they are attached. I do not know what the ration of familly with a dog or a cat in asia is, but what I seem to recall from conversations with asian friends of mine, the lack of space is not too friendly to the keeping of pets in one's house.
So I would guess that asian would be less attached to pets like dogs and cats and therefor, more open to the eating of them. I guess we could compare the eating of horse in western society. If you'd be ridding a horse since you were little and would consider it as you pet, I guess you would most likely not eat it as opposed to someone who I guess never really ever touched or seen a horse in real life would absolutely have no "remorse" about eating it (I'm not counting vegetarians of course, the choice of eating meat or not is not the point of this post).

Couldn't agree more. I left FFXI exactly for those reasons. It would take at least an hour to form up a group (IF you had the maxed out equipment of the level you were with all the spells and all the skills and everything else pretty and shinny), it would takt about an hour to get to the place your group wanted to go, you'd play about an hour (if not killed or someone supposedly had to "go eat" or "go to work", and you had to reforma group, AGAIN), and then you'd have to stick around for another hour to sell the useless stuff you'd win at the lottery and buff up your guy with the new shinny things to max you out once again. So in all, on the 4 hours on-line, you'd have "played" only 1. Kind of makes you feel like you wasted you time.... And indeed, I also prefer to clear off a whole field of medium mobs and have the xp pour in than fight high-level, high-risk mob.

Now combine it with the new cooled LED technologie and you got a cooled OLED with less energy consumption and more efficienty.

That's exactly why 2012 is supposed to be the end of the human race. It all makes sense.

There's a few solutions avaiable. Take for exemple the smithy, you could give a player a weight limit or a "items carried" limit so that you can't go to the shop and run away with 50 swords or 20 chainmail armors. Neither could you run away from a bakery with 50 loaf of bread...

Like what the problem was, why fly in an engineer from 8 hours away (for a 35 mins job) and wasn't there any tech on site to at LEAST check if he could fix the thing first?

I know this might sound weird, but since the "extention" doesn't make much sense anymore, why use it? Just have it named by your compagnie's name. Web site would be reached by their name and that's it. Say you want to see Sony's site, you type in sony... Most compagnies buy the whole .everything anyway.
