  1. Re:That's *it* for me and Blizzard, man!! on Diablo 3 Banhammer Dropped Just Before RMAH Goes Live · · Score: 1

    "Old games are repetitive"
    that's your argument for Diablo 3?

    Now, I love me some Diablo, always have, but I think the "click faster" dungeon crawl is pretty repetitive.
    and this is the third time.

    I think that the thing I'll focus on is how much better Diablo looks and plays compared to the great old Amiga games.

    yes.
    I'd shell out $100 for a PS3. It looks like a fun toy and I don't have a BlueRay player.
    But they want a LOT more than that and then they go out of their way to make it less attractive all the time.
    Next, I'm going to have to have it plugged in to the Internet all the damned time?
    pass.

    I didn't buy a PS3.
    I don't see a need for a PS4.
    I do own an Xbox360 but it is mostly used for streaming movies to my TV from my Desktop.
    and let me guess, it's going to cost $900?
    no thank you, Sony.

    No. Fire them. File charges of official misconduct. Take their pensions. Ruin their lives any way you can.
    They did not "forget" to do some thing. They deliberately did something WRONG and tried to hide it.
    The "to lazy to change his password" equation doesn't fit. More like he changed his password to "password" told every one and had someone else punch him in and out for work.
    Counsel them on how to pick up trash and buy them matching D.O.C. jumpsuits.

    Being smug just makes you less informed than some one who watches TV.

    so, I should shell out between $500 and $830 to read in bed?
    It's going to need to replace more than a paper back book to separate me from a whole paycheck.
    I mean, my phone doesn't do that either but I think you need to come better than "reading in bed"

  18. Re:SSNs? on New Jersey DMV Employees Caught Selling Identities · · Score: 4, Insightful

    normal day to day employees can probably read them because we have become lax about where we use our SSN.
    Want a phone? SSN
    want a rental? SSN
    want credit? SSN
    talk to someone at support? SSN

    Once upon a time these were supposed to be a Secret number that you only shared with the government and an employer.
    Now it's how you prove your citizenship and credit worth.

  19. Re:What about a film polaroid on Polaroid: This Time It's Digital · · Score: 2

    did you ever have one of those Polaroid instant cameras? Ever buy the SX-70 film/battery packs for it?
    I remember 10 or 12 pictures to a pack at a cost of dollars per picture.
    I'm sure that the "Special" paper will be a similar deal and take off like a lead ballon, but it's been the way Polaroid does business for a long time now.
    It's also the kind of thinking that will probably not pave a golden future for the company.

    now, get the hell off of my lawn.

  22. Re:I wish they would... on TSA's VIPR Bites Rail, Bus, and Ferry Passengers · · Score: 1

    No, no catch-22. My point is that I AM getting off the train when and where my ticket says and if they want to impede me they will have to arrest me.
    Making me stay on the train is kidnapping, false imprisonment, or extraordinary rendition.
    Do any of those sound like good advertising for bus or train service?

  23. I wish they would... on TSA's VIPR Bites Rail, Bus, and Ferry Passengers · · Score: 4, Interesting

    ..try to search me before I get off the train.
    If I refuse? are they going to prevent me from getting off the train?
    isn't that kidnapping? I mean they can search me before I get on with the threat that if I'm not searched, I can't board, but can they really keep me from getting off at a domestic stop?
    If they touch me with out my permission isn't that assault?
    I know that my response to it will be classified as assault.
    It's bad enough that they have made air travel unbearable, do we need to let them mess up this too?
    I'm sure that it will help create jobs by discouraging americans from traveling at all.
