Q&A With Vivendi Rep About Bnetd
Colin Winters writes "War3pub.net managed to get some answers out of a Vivendi rep about why they are suing BnetD and what they hope to accomplish. Worth a read to see how Vivendi/Blizzard is thinking about the whole thing. They believe that BnetD is going to profit sometime in the future, and want to stop them now. Kind of like arresting someone because they might get in a car accident 10 years down the road. "
Oh No! Not Karma Whoring!
News flash (from one who can remember this long-past mythical time): karma was instituted to encourage good posters to make more good posts. The whole point was to encourage actions of which karma is the (imperfect) measure. Are people supposed to be fixated on their karma? Of course not. But that doesn't make the current bizarre meme that "public accumulation of karma is evil" right either.
"Karma Whoring" is, if anything, a problem of the moderators at times; it is not a problem of the author of the post. Especially not in this case, where the posts were dated 3 minutes apart, and thus it would have been impossible for this poster to have seen the other post in time to not make his or her own redundant post.
So: be an AC if you for some reason don't want to post under your account name. But don't accuse people that do post under their account of being karma whores. Maybe they just like to own up to their own comments, good or bad. Unlike yourself.

TRANSGAMING CAN USE BLIZZARDS CODE WHICH CHECKS THE AUTHENTICITY OF THE CD KEYS THAT CONNECT TO IT.
Thus Transgaming can solve blizzards piracy situation while offering BLIZZARDS battlenet.
So you see, Transgaming allows battlenet on linux, I never said an open source battlenet, I never said battlenet for Lans, I said blizzards battlenet.
People would still connect to blizzards server!
If you use Linux, please help development of Autopac
It's just like the /. community to mod down a post that they don't agree with. The above post ain't no flamebait. Geeez...
