Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yeah I found those a couple of days ago. They are doing one helluva marketing campaign for this movie.

Johnny is right, in terms of music. From my observations, bands such as Lost Horizon, Hammerfall, and their ilk have been putting out some quality music, akin to the bands of the 80's with a similar sound.

On a related note, I have been on an 80's hard rock/metal binge the past few days. ^_^ Nostalgia FTW!

At the risk of jumping on the soapbox here, it seems some folks have some odd values here. In my experience of running a charity, one axiom I tended to run across is "You don't 'need' pixels!", which is quite true. Outside of Gaia, these pixels should have no bearing on your well being and quality of life.

Still, with that said, I do agree with Angel's assessment that scamming and hacking should be construed as theft. Even before the rise of the Cash Shop, collectibles were obtained with real money by way of giving Gaia $2.50 IRL a pop. But now, this is even more true with more real life money going into Gaia by way of the shop.

Sure, I do stand by the point that you don't "need" pixels. But, it is the principle of the thing. When one hacks an account that contains things obtained by real life means, it is indeed theft.

Elvis could have chosen to spend his real life money any way he wished, and he chose to support Gaia, and obtained the items he had as a way of thanks from Gaia. As a paying customer, I feel that elvis is entitled to get no less than the best possible service that is within the power of Gaia's employees and staff.

With that, here's hoping that the problem will be solved in a speedy, professional manner.

Phew ... *steps off the soapbox*

You know, even if that speech hadn't been partially about me, I would still agree with it wholeheartedly.

elvis: Thanks. ^^ As I said, it's the principle of the thing.

Angel, Itachi: Yes. Tesla seems to have been a man of serious genious. Edison did him pretty dirty, too. ._.

Really? surprised

Happy birthday, Missing!

The man had the means to create free energy for the world.

The reason he didn't was because he feared it'd fall into the wrong hands.

Sadly, the modern will not attempt to complete his goals. If they can't make a profit off it, they won't do it.

Just further proves that greed alone is insanely devastating to a worldwide utopia.

Go, Missing! It's your birthday!

It is, too.

On a darker note, I must agree with Angel, as greed seems to be the way of the world. ._. One can only hope that someday, a philantrophic person will discover his works, and apply them to the betterment of mankind.

And, on that note, one thing I once saw in a star trek movie is a scene in which Picard explains something about how there is no money in their world. Alas, it's been some time since I've seen the movie in question, so I forget the particulars of the explanation of how this worked.
