Flights China – US

The most used Dutch-language site to get updates on the latest news is nu.nl. But although they are quick with their reports, they regularly do a very shabby job in terms of research for their articles. The latest example was an article that I read this morning during breakfast, titled (translation) ‘First non-stop flights US-China‘.

I first thought the header was misleading to lure people to read the article, but also the text of the article says that United Airlines will get the first direct route between the US and China. Of course this is totally wrong, there are many direct flights between the US and China. The article should have read that one additional route was added, and that United won the right to fly this lucrative route (Washington DC – Beijing). A one minute Google search learned me that 3 years ago there were already 54 direct flights per week, why did the author of the article not check his facts? I would not be surprised if the un-edited article will end up in several other Dutch papers and websites.

  1. If you don’t understand the gravitational wow powerleveling of an MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game:wow power leveling), I’m going to enlighten you with just a dozen words about world of warcraft power leveling: you get to pick what you look like and what your talents are in world of warcraft powerleveling.

    That’s the real beauty of it with maple story hacks. The first thing you do in the MMORPG World of Warcraft is design your own body to take final fantasy xi power leveling and decide what your strengths will be without maplestory hacks. You pick your race(ffxi powerleveling). What could be more seductive than that with wow gold, the ability to turn in all of the cards without world of warcraft gold you were dealt at birth and draw new ones from a face-up deck? If you have friends who’ve gotten sucked into the WoW black hole and you don’t understand why they never talk to you any more, this is wow powerleveling. I remember being a chubby teenager with bad skin, wow power leveling and astigmatism and pants that didn’t fit and wow power level quite right. What would I have given to be reborn as a strapping warrior with rippling pecs and armor of hammered silver to wow powerlevel?

    Hehe, Rushu of dofus has gone into the video game equivalent of the Great Depression. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer in comparation of dofus kamas:
    F2Ps cant get a profession above level 30 in dofus, so gathering dofus kamas is slow, and such crafting professions take longer to gain the resources. Also crafting professions can’t get up to a level high enough to make anything costly, or become a magus.
    Equipment hunting in dofus isn’t worth as much anymore, unless you’re hunting a Gelano to earn a great amount of dofus kamas. This is because before if you got, for example, a 1/1 prespic lining it was worth next to nothing. Now, if you get a 1/1 lining,you get someone to mage it so its higher, so there are more better linings, so the price goes down. Even the ones that have more stats that is normally possible aren’t worth as much as a perfect lining was before the magus system.
