  1. Re:CLEAR PRIVATE DATA DOES NOT WORK. on Fear of Porn URL Exposure Discourages Firefox 3 Upgrade · · Score: 1

    The "Awesome bar" does not get cleared out!

    What I found to be totally evil is when you delete items in the location (awesome bar) it also deletes the bookmarks...

    The firefox people have KNOWN about this for well over a year and choose to ignore it and try and force everyone to like it... and yes I use firefox and it pissed me off to no end. Try having the wife or boss standing over you while you type in a url and have no idea what crap is going to come up...

    The business day is not complete without a little bit of theft, even if it's just a ream of printer paper

    A ream? o come now really? At least go for the entire box and a few office staplers... How do you ever hope to move up the ladder thinking so small? I mean people probably wouldn't even notice a ream of paper missing so who are you going to frame and have fired then?

    Ugh in my day we raped the receptionist and stole no less than 1 box of paper, 4 staplers, 3 boxes of #2 pencils and 1 light switch EVERY day! You kids today with your paperless offices and male receptionist... Plah... makes me sick.... And to think some of you work with hundreds of thousands in computer equipment.. I'd at least cut all those Ethernet wires and make the junior slave SPLICE them back together... Yes SPLICE them, not replace them, and he best be sure he makes it look professional or he's out on the streets and I'll have my bank friends take his house and car the VERY same day...

    It's based off the Sephirotic Tree of Life. I blame too much evangelion for this sort of knowledge.

    I'm aware of its origin as well as the many other places one might come into contact with it, except, I really wasn't aware that it was being popularized in cartoons, err I mean Anime....

    Wasn't really looking to discuss that stuff here on slashdot for obvious reasons...

    Just clicked on the main site and was somewhat surprised by the layout. I don't think I've ever seem someone use that pattern for a website before.

    Yeah, that's why. Whine and cry and then pirate a game because you don't get your way. You sure showed them, they'll be positively clamoring to give you everything you want next time!

    No you really don't get it. The whining is to give them a heads up that a large number of people are NOT going to be giving them money. The pirating is for those among us who can't go without. They aren't clamoring to give us what we want now so I really don't expect that to change until they notice they aren't making enough money. Then I expect them to whine about it and how pirates are hurting them. Then I expect them to be laughed at and reminded about posts such as this one.

    Therefore I am going to be a petulant child."

    I totally agree but that is "The Americana Way". We get what we want or we fuck you in your ass until you give it to us...

    Good luck with that. Whatever moral justifications you try to shroud it in, you're just a self-entitled brat crying because he doesn't get his way.

    I think it's pretty good justification. You don't do what we tell you then we don't do what you tell us... Shrug... No LAN, no pay, plus we will take it from you anyhow seems like good motivation for a company. It's sorta like the guy who brings a gun to a knife fight and everyone bitches about it right before he laughs and shoots them all in their heads.

    You want to make a point about how important LAN play is to their game? Don't play their fucking game.

    I agree but this isn't a perfect world. A large number of "petulant children" as you called them don't have the will power or self control to do as you command them to, so instead of buying something that is fucking them in their asses, they will choose to NOT buy thus fucking over blizzard.... It's really rather simple logic that any child can understand.....

    You are living in a fantasy world where people do what is right... I'm just calling them as I see'em... Blizzard is acting like a child and a large number of people are going to return the favor...

    They aren't going to and all the whining in the world isn't going to change that. There is only so many times you can whip a dead horse before it just becomes nothing more than a pile of bloody meat.

    I'm getting fucking sick of hearing it over and over and over whenever the topic comes up.

    Well maybe you should ask Blizzard to put the LAN back in so people will stop bitching about it then?

    This is slashdot, just because you are a fanboy with your mommies credit card numbers doesn't mean the haters are going to stop bitching...

    Yeah, yeah, we get it: you enjoyed that feature in the past game. But is it really that big a deal? Is this really the number one thing you base a purchase decision on? I mean, I'm not going to go as far as saying "get a grip," since, at minimum, it's at least a much bigger deal than the idiotic Fallout 3 complaints, and frankly I don't know how big LAN play is. I do know that I've personally used it... once? Ever?

    Yes it is a big deal son.
    Some of us really liked getting together with other humans in the real world and playing Starcraft and are rightfully pissed at the growth of DRM and built-in-obsolescence.

    I took my OS class at CSULB and was in the last class that did the kernel project in HP 1000 assembly in 1986.

    Yeah I was born in 78 so you are ahead of me a few years.... I tried finding a book on assembly when I was around 14 because I really wanted to learn how to mod save game files and understand how things worked better after learning basic then turbo pascal 7 but I couldn't find one anywhere. Checked the local book stores, libs, etc... no damn books at all... this was before I could order offline being I was 14 and my parent didn't know how to turn on a computer let alone was going to type in a credit card....

    I'm still looking to learn some assembly some day so maybe it just impresses me because I missed out on the lowest level stuff and feel like so much is MAGIC when it comes to hardware level type programing....

    I just read through the entire Vista EULA and they don't have a single provision relating to taking your licensed software across international lines.

    You still have no point. There isn't a cheap British version of VISTA so why would it have such a provision.

    We will wait and see what is in the EULA of Windows 7 'British Version' and then we will know if Microsoft is going to try something underhanded... Well... honestly we ALREADY know they will do that but you get my point. Or, you probably don't which is sad...
