How does it change every few years? I'm not sure I understand.

I'm guessing it has to do with how German has billions of compound nouns? Would be curious to know the real answer too.

Is there a way to manually set what 8 websites are on the chrome's newtab interface rather than most popular?

Basically, roughly every 10 years someone thinks that something is weird with the german language, and randomly changes something.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_orthography_reform_of_1996
Obviously the english version of the article has a lot less details than the german one. But after the reform of 1996, they re-reformed it again in 2004 and 2006. I am assuming the next re-re-reform is going to happen rather soonish, after all we can't have all those germanistic professors feeling useless, they have to justify their existence somehow. This obviously needs to most people except those germanistic professors not knowing which of the multiple spellings is currently correct.

What's the name of the character that causes change? Without this character nothing would happen to the plot. This character is the one that initiates an event. I forget the name of the role.

There's no character that causes change. Anything can cause change. The protagonist is the main character and is necessary for a story. The event that causes change in the plot is called the turning point or the inciting incident.

Probably because you're reading this in a window.

Well one guy seemed to want to play a standard game. 10 minutes later he was not impressed that his spore crawlers and hydralisks died to my one battlecruiser.

How bad is the flaming on SC2? I never really laddered, so I don't know, but I hear a lot of complaints about how everyone on the ladder rages, especially at Protoss.

Not terrible, but everyone seems to 'know' that they are right. I tried to explain to a terran player that being far behind on both workers and army value against a protoss that had superior tech meant he has pretty much lost, but he was certain that he had not lost the game was over. And I could not convince him at all that he was dead from the 8 minute mark until the game ended at the 17 minute mark.
