Yeah I'd hate to be the child of the guy up there saying that any 9 year old could pass this test, if the parent just forced them to learn it on flash cards. Potty training is going to be rough in that house.
When the discussion is weather or not to make jokes and laugh about a topic like this, the decision to ban assholes becomes simple to me. We're not talking about a debate about the merits of string theory here....
I don't see anyone asking for a national day of mourning. We just don't see the need to act like total dickheads about it on the internet. I know it's a hard concept for someone who can't even figure out how to register an account, but it is what it is.
Okay, so you're honestly trying to say that any 9 year old could pass that test, if their parents simply "forced" them to learn it by flash cards? Get a grip, indeed.
So in other words, no human life has value, and we should just shrug our shoulders and move on. I hope on the day someone you care about dies, no one follows it up with insults and a "lighten up, Francis!"
You don't understand because you're just a useless little twirp with no real life experiences. No one asked you to care, we're just puzzled why you feel its time for insults to her.
Those posts up there do not strike me as "dark humor used as a coping mechanism", from grieving people. It seems more like the work of a bunch of asshole trolls who hide behind the AC label.
I think it's about time/. gets rid of the AC policy. If you can't be bothered to make an account, why should you be able to constantly stink this place up with the sort of bile we see in the first few comments to this?
The Tea Party was all about being "Taxed Enough Already", and they were out there actively protesting for the rights of billionaires to keep their tax cuts. It was an astro-turf movement, and that's why you don't see it anymore. The wealthy people bankrolling got their tax breaks, and moved on. The reason I pointed out what I did, is because the Republican party is the one that says they're for "smaller government", and yet they've had plenty of chances to prove it over the decades, and they don't deliver at all.
Yeah blame us, when Tony Blair signed the damned thing. I have a newsflash for you guys in the UK: Your country is becoming a corporate controlled fascist state, just like the US, so stop thinking you're better.
Look, I know you're proud to have worked on BGDA, but those game were mediocre slash fests that watered down the D&D brand. *That* is why no one plays them. D&D fans didn't want a Diablo clone with better graphics.
It's sad how the enterprise users posting here act as if Mozilla owes them something. They give you a free browser you're using to make money on. If you guys want the perfect browser, develop one...
Diablo 2 came out in June 2000, and DA came a year and a half later in December 2001. I'm not sure why you're comparing the engines, as they didn't even come out on the same generation of graphics hardware... Diablo 2 was also a much better game than DA, and people actually still play it, so they must have done something right.
RTFA, if it's not too much of a fucking brain teaser for you. There is a little nugget at the end.

It's simple to ban an account. Not so for a free-for-all AC account.
You find it amusing because you're a sick fuck. I'd love to see someone like you try this bullshit in a real world setting. Have a nice life, asshole.

Everybody does die. Why haven't you?

You continue to prove my point.
Spoken like a true armchair warrior. That's all you do is act tough on /.
And people like you are why we aren't much better than them, these days.

Notice how the Republicans are fine with Big Government, as long it is to the benefit of corporate interests.

MSE doesn't have pop up advertisements urging me to buy a full version. That's why I dumped Avast a few years ago.
Oh you mean the same users that made IE6 entrenched for a decade past its prime?

Let's not forget that Diablo had a Playstation version. The sky is not falling.
If only there were a medal for those being most proud of their own ignorance.
