With this news coming out now, the question is who in their right mind would buy a 2010 V6 Mustang (or the V8 even)?
No, you still have to buy the key (purchasable at honored for the corresponding heroic)

HH/Thral - HF
Cen. - Coilfang
Lower City - Auch
Sha'tar - TK
Keepers of Time - CoT (which by the time you do the quest chain, you are honored anyways)

The only exception is Mag. Terrance. You have to do the quest to kill KT on reg first, then you are "keyed" to Heroic
There are no female orges, so they are all clones. That is how they respawn so quickly :)
I find it interesting that these regulations are counter productive.

Cars are going to be *forced* to meet better MPG rating. (which is done through "less" car/materials or more expensive materials)

Cars are going to be *forced* to meet all kinds of various crash scenarios. (which is done through "more weight" or more expensive materials).

So basically these regulations are going to force cars to be even more expensive. When sales are already bad. (Yes I know these don't take effect right away, but still......)
The roller coaster ride of bear tanking near the end of 2008 was a CRAZY ride.

NEW FOR WOW IN 2009:
BRAND NEW ROLLER COASTER FOR BEAR TANKS!!!!!

Yes, I am still bitter about the crazy itemization/gear sharing for bears (and it sounds like we are in for another ride). I almost have a pally at 80 I am will be tanking with, and my worgen will be a warrior. One of these days I will get a DK to 80 (ironically I levelled a pally to 70 in a month, and I can't seem to get into the DK and he is stuck at 60). I would like to have an 80 (85) of each tank class :)
I have faith that Blizzard is WAY smarter than Sony.

I left SW:G after the NGE to come to WoW :)
When I first read about the changes, I thought, "No way is all that making it to live, and if it does, it will be nerfed." The refreshing of SW:P can really affect SP DPS. I usually cast as one of my first spells, but when my trinket is maxed (10 stacks of 20 sp, so 200 more spell power) and the other trinket procs (765 more spell power) for a combined total of almost another 1k spell power, I recast SW:P and make sure it stays up the rest of the fight. By having it be affected by haste, might actually bring the DPS of SW:P up to say VT or DP amount of damage. The refreshing and casting of SW:P is what I think is a class defining trait of SP.

Personally I think shadow priest could use a small buff, but not nearly the amount from what was originally planned. My SP's gear score is 2502 on wow-heroes, and I can hit 4-5k DPS (single target boss) on the live servers. I really should log on the PTR and see what I can do.
I have owned a 07 Titan 4WD LE for over two years now, and I have only had two problems.

Mirror heaters did not work (which was fixed on first trip to dealer, plus they washed/detailed it for me) and the driver seat squeaks when turning. This one keeps coming back, so I need to figure what they are "WD40-ing".

I really don't have any complaints about the truck. Now granted I am not a "off-roader" or hard core truck user, but it does get a fair amount of "truck" use. We even use it for camping (bought a tent that sets up in the bed). The fuel mileage was definitely a pain when gas was so expensive, but it's a huge 4x4 truck. I never expected more than 13-14 mpg (which is about what I get in mostly city driving).

I think Nissan made an excellent truck, but I would rather see it cancelled than letting the platform age way past expiration (like the Ranger) or it becomes a rebadged copy (which you usually can get the "original" cheaper). If I could go back in time would I buy it again? Yes, I would. Now granted I might have waited for about a year (when gas spiked to $4/gallon and got it even cheaper :D)
The plane ticket from NC to LA is actually cheaper than a ticket from NC to Vegas. I just looked it up on orbitz.com

(cheapest tickets)
Charlotte to LA - $268
Charlotte to Vegas - $368
As far as I know yes, all the diesels in America come from Germany (VW, Audi, BMW, and MB).

I have always been a fan of diesels, and the new Jetta we bought earlier this year (wife's car) is fantastic. It gets great mpg and is a hoot to drive (we got the 6 spd). Remember, it is much more fun to drive a "slow" car fast, then a "fast" car slow.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"All of these new nettops have me intrigued. I'm looking for a small, quiet and cheap PC to replace my aging tower in my home office, and all it really needs to do is load Microsoft Office, check email and surf the web. Is there a particular nettop that's better (or a better value) than another? I know it's a rather new segment, but hopefully someone has taken a chance on one already. Thanks!"
