here here, i concur... (parent deserves more than 3 imo) blizz have always had some problems, but any company does. for example, compare blizz to EA, blizzard care about their customers and support them. i mean heck, i cant imagine that they would be earning much by selling starcraft anymore, but a couple of months ago they released a new patch fixing a few exploits and the like. this all being 8 or so years after the game came out! now take EA into account... they stopped support for Generals: Zero hour in just a few months... (after their initial sales i presume) they only got 4 patches into the game, and none of them fixed the major multiplayer exploit (some of you may know as the scud-bug)... now you cant honestly tell me that blizz dont appear to be the good guys in the gaming industry...
does this quite not immediately come to mind? - "Why!? Why was I programmed to feel PAIN!?!?" (as a side note, i got this "Lameness filter encountered. Post aborted!
Reason: Don't use so many caps. It's like YELLING." i kinda thought that was the point)
You have a very persuesive argument.... yes.... no... yes.... wait NO!! its a mind game! you see, its a very persuesive argument.... exactly what lawyers are paid to do..... so the obvious conclusion is..... HES A LAWYER!!! GET HIM!!!!:P
exactly like me (as i AM a kid after all), that their social interactions over IM programs is for their eyes alone (and the person on the other end). Personally, i feel more worried my parents are going to get sucked into scams, get viruses, etc etc... parents are looking out for us, i just dont think most would have the knowledge to do it properly (with exceptions of/.'ers of course). I think a better option would simply be to talk to your kids, and they should get the idea...

"the average number of in-person interviews for each candidate offered a job has declined to 5.1 from 6.2" - how can you decline upwards?
