  2. Re:Windows and gaming on Blizzard Asserts Rights Over Independent Add-Ons · · Score: 1

    I think that you just might have missed my meaning on that one..

    What I meant is\was Windoze itself, not any other apps that you might choose to run on your OS.
    Blizzard has developed the game to provide a certain experience, and they don't want anyone modifying that too seriously. Microsoft on the other hand have not designed Windoze to be more than an OS. Yes, they have tried to cram certain applications down our throats. But that's not what this discussion about. MS does require you to operate within certain parameters of the OS,and we all know what happens when someone writes shitty code. I could have just as easily said Linux isn't entertaining, and been just as correct.

  4. Not at all... on Blizzard Asserts Rights Over Independent Add-Ons · · Score: 1

    In the first place I think you would have to be nuts to pay for an add in for a game. It's not like it's an expansion pack or anything like that.
    Then there is also the fact that the game does belong to Blizzard, and is run at their expense, yes, you pay them to be able to play it. They still have the right to control the gaming experience.
    The comparison with Microsloth Windoze is flawed, in that what Blizzard offers is only a game, and there is only the one reason for it - entertainment. When was the last time you found Windoze entertaining?

  11. More of the wrong stuff... on Internet Could Act As Ecological Early Warning System · · Score: 1

    I could be a little off base - it's happened before, I'm sure it'll happen again - but this sounds like a load of shit.
    We already know there's a problem, what we need to do is fix it.
    I don't think that looking into articles on the internet is even close to a solution. It just sounds like a group of people that are good with data trying to cash in on some grants or corporate funding. We don't need more spin doctors.
    They need to get off of their asses and do something useful, like take part in some recycling.

  12. Re:Is anyone surprised? on Taxpayers Fund AIG Lawsuit Against US · · Score: 1

    I actually can't believe that they were given any bail out money. That goes for the auto makers as well.
    If I squander my money and don't save any for a rainy day the government just tells me to suck it up, be a man.
    I seriously think that these companies should have been told the same thing.

    I have seen the same shit go on in Canada with Air Canada as well as Canadian Pacific(a rail carrier). They should have just been allowed to swirl the bowl a few times and then prove Darwin correct. Somewhere, someone with a better business model will step up and do it properly.

    Was it just a dream, were you so confused
    Was it just a giant leap of logic
    Was it the time of year, that makes a state of fear
    Methods were the motives for the action


    And did I hear you say
    My country right or wrong


    Did you save your face
    Did you breach your faith
    Women, there were children at the shelter
    Now who can stop the hail
    When human senses fail
    There was never any warning, no escape


    Did I hear you say
    My country right or wrong
    My country oh so strong
    My country going wrong
    My country right or wrong


    I hear you say the truth must take a beating
    The flag a camouflage for your deceiving
    I know, yes I know
    It's written on your soul
    I know, we all make mistakes


    This is not a case of blurred vision
    It's a case of black holes, pocket holes, soul holes
