Let them come

I am not afraid of Snow!  I only fear those who fear snow and still drive in it.  

I also fear those who do not fear snow and do not respect it and drive in it

Respect snow, dont fear it.  Drive with caution, not panic

But, But
I was born on the Opening weekend of StarWars!
StarWars is mine!  It is the Film of my Birth
I will keep it!

The driving yesterday reminded me of something....
I hate humans

I play alliance on Skullcrusher.  
(look me up, Human paladan named Eorl)

I often find a que when I try and join in Prime time.  Last night it was 127 but I was on in under 4 minutes.  

Durring an outage, we (My Guild) Rolled some Horde on Gorfiend (Low populatiuon East Coast)
(look me up Snaga, Scatha, Narash)  
We never see an issue with Gorfiend

I guess WoW is a victim of too much sucess too fast and bad load balancing
(FFXII Got around this by requiring you to go to what server they told you to use and earn a "world pass" to invite your friends onto your server)

I think that the best option would be to offer the opportunity to move your Chars to Low pop servers and keep your level/loot Offer it for 1 week only and to SPECIFIC Low pop servers only.  

Then again, The disruption in game economy/databasemanagement and interface design for such a process would probabaly take as much work as fixing the servers as they are... so I could be wrong.  I wouldnt know unless I got a chance to see the environment

Yeah, I was telling my wife how the book really ends.. With the scouring etc...
She was upset that they still had junk to deal with when they got home

Just so long as Bruce Boxlitner gets a role

Prehaps I would be satisfied with My deffinition used in legal cases.... When the crime of Terroism carries a higher penalty.  
Your broader deffinition would be seen by the general populace as Terroism in the circumstances you describe,  So the dictionary deffinition would fit the broader standard.  
So I guess you are right.  

According to Gus Martin (I think it's funny that an academic is named Gus -- he sounds like a gas station attendant), "unrestricted terrorism" is defined as "indiscriminate force against noncombatant targets".  That probably clears this up a little.

But then we are back at the academic’s secret code issue...
If we just take the term as it is given, w/o knowing who the hell Gus is, or what he has to say, we will assume that "unrestricted Terrorism" means something else... My first impulse is to say it means "Terrorist acts committed in a permissible climate" (Like a large number of nations IN THE UN)
As an example, if an Israeli interest was bombed in Syria and the Syrian government ignored it.... I would call it "unrestricted terrorism" Completely unaware that Gus had already chosen that term for something else.  

There IS a growing disconnect between academia and the lay-man, it’s as vast as many of the other polarizations in this country.  We should be encouraging the Academics to come half way, not draw the gap wider


sorry I was out for most of this discussion, work expected me to.... work.  THE NERVE!
