For all our European visitors (and those elsewhere with extra cash),
StarCraft 2 will be playable at DreamHack this weekend!
DreamHack is the world's largest LAN party and it's held twice a year in
Jönköping, Sweden. Last year almost 13000 people attended from all over the world. A table seat this year would cost you €83 ($107 / 790 SEK), luckily though if you only want to get in and try SC2 a day ticket is just €10 ($12 / 100 SEK).
You've got until early Sunday to get there for a chance to play!

I hope you guys will enjoy it. I think it will be the Blizzcon version of SC2, so you won't experience nothing special. But for you shadowie, play as much as you can
#4 Undifty

I have an Associates in Criminal Justice
I am in the process of a bachelors in Emergency Management Technology
Then I am going on to my masters for public administration.
You shadowie??
#17 AUDIE
lol PiF and this is why your 42 and live in your mothers basement?
=P
#18 shadowie
The first two sounds cool but administration sounds kinda boring? But then again I find everything that deals with economics in any way really boring
It's pretty difficult translating titles internationally but I'm getting what most universities in the US would call a "Masters in Engineering" (in the field of Computer Science/Engineering), and it's not as boring as it sounds
#19 PiF
I'm not 42 yet >.<
My birthday's next month xD
#20 AUDIE
Yes Shadowie economics sound boring, but without them you have no strong military, resources to make games like SC2, and so many items that we use everyday come from economics.
So without economics all the small things we take for granite are in reality very precious things that we owe to a strong economic community. Economics is a good reason why the U.S. is in the situation it is in at the current moment.
So you can say, without economics or adminstrative practicies, you wouldn't be able to go for the degree you are going for in your country.
You see how this boring, yet important subject is a huge part of everyday life?

why I auda smack you

I didn't say that it wasn't important, just that I'm not into it. Like you say it's pretty much a man-made necessity to keep the cogs of society turning, just like we need lawyers, governments and politicians. It's all super important but I don't really get excited about it. Scientific discoveries furthering our understanding of the world and the universe on the other hand, that I think is really cool
Luckily we're not all alike because we obviously need people doing all those things
You mean in the middle of the worst recession ever?

Yes I mean ONE of the worse recessions ever. The depression was by far the worse recession ever. I agree I find that scientific space stuff to be awesome. I cannot believe how small our planet is in the big scheme of the universe.
The history channel hosted a couple of shows that took star wars and star trek in a realistic aspect. They had all the big name scientist in the world doing all these studies to see if any of the technology from either franchise could actually be possible in the future.
Fun stuff.
No shadowie, we dont need lawyers, governments, and politicians.
Like they always say "A dead lawyer and politician are the only good ones"
Amen to that

It doesn't look too promising considering the percentage decline and the speed it has gone down with (and the continued decline). For example: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Iu0GgLvzyu0/S ... -large.gif
We need them as much as we need economists, all grease in the machinery that keep society moving forward. A pure unregulated market economy obviously doesn't work, just look at what happened with the economy when banks were given a tiny loophole in trading mortgages. People are just too greedy and short-sighted to be unregulated.
#29 AUDIE
Well of course we need all of it for the big war machine to work, I agree. We need more regulation so we can make sure such loopholes do not put the world in a similiar situation in the future. We need to regulate how globalization and trade will effect the world community.
Unregulated things are sometimes good, even with trade, but I agree even if it is a free market society we need to make sure CEO's do not put the economy in such a bad situation ever again.

#31 AUDIE
it would be a global regulation, but the U.S. would obviously lead it because of the U.S. having the strongest economy in the world.
#32 Undifty
Followed by Japan!
#33 AUDIE
Yes indeed
