topic is kind of old so I suspect it to be a lot cheaper now. If you drop windows 7 it would be $547

I played it for a good thirty-one minutes before my friend had to go.

Man.

We had a duel, and I gave him my white magician staff when he won. 

You played with someone? What kind of dark magic is this?

Once a year or so I get all desperate for change and install linux, I end up trying to use WINE with everything because I dunno how to do stuff, and within a week it breaks. Last time I broke it installing steam with WINE. Also I have an ATI card and they aren't supported very well, if I had an Nvidia I'd give it another shot. The sudo thing is pretty awesome though I won't lie, it's fun just trying to type in random apps you want and see if they work, some of the times it surprises you and gets it. I think one time I typed in like sudo get-apt openttd and it installed it.

Why would it be "short" for the United States of America? The reason they call it that is because it is a country comprised of many states formed into one, and they are within the landmasses of North and South America, which together they are called America or the Americas. It really does not make sense to call the country the same thing that the two continents are called when viewed together! I may be ignoring what this loving world calls this nation, but at least I'm being logical about it.

Well actually both continents together is The Americas, also there isn't any reason people would ever use the word America except to refer to the United States of America, as each content has its own name that is used, North America and South America. It is actually illogical to have a word for both continents, I mean there isn't a word to refer to Europe and Africa at the same time, when you want to talk about both you just say both.

Here is what would be logical:
North America refers to North America
America refers to United States of America
American refers to people from United States
South America refers to South America
Canadian refers to someone Canadian
Mexican refers to someone Mexican

Don't loving tell me to "lurn2" something. Currently, the Overseas Territories of Britain are not part of the United Kingdom itself, so they don't count toward population or area.

America is the same as saying Americas, which refers to both North and South continents. It's laziness and unwillingness to find an actual name for U.S. Citizens that makes people call them "Americans."

You think that because America is a word in North America and South America, American and America have any relation to them. You couldn't be more wrong. American was a word created to mean people from the United States, and America is nothing more than short word for United States of America. American only means people from the United States. There is no implied meaning that we are the only people of North America and South America, but we are the only Americans, and by Americans we mean people from the United States. We don't have to create a new word for us because some people are too stupid to grasp this.

My map is fricken huge though, I go up to like 1500 souls and have to stop because it starts to lag up, and it still looks barren. It takes me like 15 minutes to scroll from one side to the other.

You're in like, Middle school and you have a playground?

Also, I don't get recess anymore.

15 would be 10th grade. Definitely lied about being 15 on his profile, and probably about being female.

I hated goup stuff, I would always do most of the work and then when I was done with 90% of it while the others were still doing a measly 1% of it to finish up the teacher would walk by and be like "Why aren't you helping?" and I would get a bad grade, if I tried to explain everything I did usually the groups would be like "No we did most of it" to try to boost their grade.
