Its another corporate-America wank word. I'm in the UK, but its creeping into usage over here and I cringe every time I hear it. Its most usually used by the same people that like to 'touch base' with each other to discuss their 'synergies.'

I'd agree that 'to contact' is the underlying meaning, but try telling my old boss that.

WoW and every other MMO is nothing but a grind fest from minute one, so your point is?

Wow isnt any more though, and thats the point, Blizzard keep raising the bar. WoW a few years ago yes, grind-fest, but if you play the recent expansion its clear they've put a *lot* of effort into reducing the grind from the off.

It isn't the physical card. I couldn't give a rats ass about the card (Other than it's a cheap piece of shit, as you point out). It's the gigantic, interlinked database that will go with the card, which will track everything I do, and be accessible by almost every public worker you can imagine.

And don't worry about that giant database, all your data is safe in government hands. Very safe. As Jaqui Smith (Home Secretary at the time) said when questioned on its security: "It won't be connected to the internet, so it can't be hacked"

Coast, or Last night of the Proms (the whole season of the Proms for that matter). Probably 50% of the BBC2 output.

And radio: The Archers, Womans Hour to name a few - have you heard the state of commercial radio in the UK? Theres just no comparison to the publicly funded channels.

Journal Journal: Holy crap, I have mod points! 22

I can't even remember the last time I had mod points; it has been literally years and years. But today I see the moderation button. Maybe this is a subtle way to keep me from posting my noxious drivel in the main threads?
