Why are all the screenshots from iPhones?
Android phones account for 51.2% of smartphone sales, with iPhones trailing at 43.5% [1].
So how likely is it that out of a sample of 10 screenshots, all 10 of them would be from iPhones? Seems suspicious.

Except WotC did save D&D... by coming up with the OGL license, which enabled the entire OSR/retroclone movement.
See the MondoNet project for an implementation of this idea.
*whoosh*
People like Al Gore fill your minds with this propaganda so that you'll go out and buy their *green* light bulbs
so you prefer the propaganda from people like exon who want you to go out and buy their gasoline?
1. Volcano's and things alike emit more C02 gas then the entire human race.
sure do. and for a long time, before the advent of industrialization, the climate has experienced only moderate fluctuations even with all that volcanic co2. then along came escalades and coal plants and massive human-engineer deforestation projects that when added to all that volcanic co2, it tipped the balance to a general warming trend.
2. The Earth heats up on a cycle. It just so happens that in this point in time were on the warming part.
of course the earth heats and cools on a cycle. no one is claiming otherwise. the concern currently is the amplitude of the cycle and the speed at which the general warming trend is expected to occur... not the existence of the cycle itself.
If we were going into an ice age, I'm sure Al Gore would be saying "Save the dingos from the ice" instead of "Save the polar bears from the heat".
uh, yes, of course he would. people who are opposed to climate change, which so many here seem to call "global warming", are not by extension in favour of global cooling. they're in favour of a global climate that is stable within the normal and natural rates of fluctuations.
Just my two cents.
and fair value at that price.
Why not encourage anonymity?
Because it also encourages the lack of accountability that goes along with it.
it's only been six weeks since the u.s. election -- and already people are forgetting the importance of anonymity.
in the united states, indeed in every western democracy, ballots are secret. no one questions this anonymity -- indeed, it's mandated by law.
the reason we have secret ballots is simple: the framers of the constitution (any western constitution) realized that people could only truly vote their conscience, express their political preference, if they could do so without fear of reprisal or ridicule. anonymity is a cornerstone of a free and democratic society.
it's kind of a shame that ms. dyson doesn't realize that.
witness my band. we suck. people hate us. no one comes to our shows. so, we release a cd. since we're not big enough to be granted an exemption, we pay the cd-r tax on all the blanks we use (and, yes, we used a legit duplication plant). of course, our cd sells miserably and we get nowhere near the beak-even point.
which means.... we lose $300 putting out our cd, and the tax we paid on the blanks goes straight into the pockets of a big-name canadian act. perhaps avril levign. that's right: levign makes more money off my artistic creation than i do.
thank you socan!
