I understand your perception of this comment being too harsh. I even agree that we are all on the same side of that particular issue. The severity was calculated, as the utterer of the original offense was a/. principal and ougtta know better.
If I really thought it was all useless, would I be aiming at the cracker with everybody else here at the circle jerk?:)
That is why I won't do two shows a night anymore. Nope, won't do it.
So, what do you think the MK stands for in MKlinux? It's the Mach microkernel.
Yeeks, I'd be hurt if the punch had any force, aim, or was actually attached to an arm.
Pheersum obviously hasn't opened up Terminal on OS X. It's awful hard to claim that the 'nix is hidden when it's sooooooooo easy to get 'ls -la' on my root.
I love seeing otherwise intelligent commentators pumping a dry well. CmdrTaco, Apple seems completely unphased by your assault on it's supply of mouse-buttons. If that's the only resource that comes up short in your assesment of the new Apple HW, then I guess that's the kind of shortage we can live with. Microsoft itself has found that only 10% of users even use a right click AT ALL, EVER. Such a biting condemnation from a community that devotes space to such earth-shttering topics as hacking the Furby...
I guess you don't know how to use a modifier key? Ctl-click for contextual menus too complex a sequence for you to remember?
I admire the rest of the comments about Mac acceleration (newtonian, not processor), alternate booting sequences (the leather kind, not the startup kind), and the endless litany of lame jokes that reaveal that the Open-Source movement and the Slashdot crowd aren't above their own sort of bigotry. Why did you even post the story and link unless it was to offer a punching bag to the trolls? Are you just jealous that OSX is gonna do more to bring *nix to the masses than your 6+ years of obscure forum posting and mutual masturbation have? Can't bring yourself to admit that cool and stylish counts to some folks?
I look forward to being moderated down as flamebait. That seems to be the only way the moderators can respond to a true reflection.
As if there wasn't enough about b-net to be pissed over already.
This is just UO-"Death of Lord British" all over again. Yet another blow to online gaming. How many more companies are gonna step up and offer this for free if this keeps up? And, boy, wasn't UO a colossal rip-off anyway? You pretty much HAD to treat it like a job to get your damn money's worth out of that dog. I'm glad that noone else has attempted to put out a purely ol game since.
We now have one more example of why parents should just buy their snotty little brats consoles instead of P5s. Better yet, just buy them a pack of playing cards and watch them crow about their superiority through cheating at solitaire.
My real point is that I don't play with anyone online anymore. It's ALWAYS a fucking mistake and a bad return on the investment(time/money/stress). It's been proven on every ol game that unless you have someone supporting you so you can play 16 hours a day, you might as well forget having fun with anyone you don't personally know. Unless you can track someone down and kick their ass physically as a means of enforcement, there is nothing preventing them from using any number of means to thumb the scales.
Actually, I've found that even hacks don't need to be employed. All you really need is Google and the time and seediness to want to learn the bunny-strafe or the x-unit rush or the gold-multiplyer exploit or the mystery-vertex-glitch camping spot. And if your opponent is just up for casual play, well, he wanted to be meat. If he was serious, he'd be scouring the web as well. Since when did I need to be serious about a fucking game?
And ol guilds as a response/defense is specious at best, due to its status as more of a symptom of the disease rather than anything close to a cure. I bet T-cells in an AIDS victim have similar conversation threads as the PKK-guilds and whatnot.
Realms was a puss-ass attemp at a gated community, anyway. Well, freaks can still ride in through the front gate if they are in the parent's back seat. Or if they're employed by the residents. Or if they just plain have the time/energy/malicious boredom.
Of course Blizzard hasn't said anything. This activity negates one of the promises that made me even buy their software. They can't respond until they can close the hole. And they won't be able to close the hole for a good while(the next 12 hours would qualify as that). Anyone want to lay money on the security of their CD-key system now? Anyone want to lay money on whether the crackers were using valid CDs?
In any case, this is one more reason why I don't factor online play into any of my game purchases anymore. ol != fun^sum(players)

My manager once informed the web department that he was incredibly dissappointed in us because we weren't able to add (to him) obvious functionality to his copy of Acrobat. This moron actually thought we could just rewrite Adobe software. And we were HTML/JavaScripters, not C++ developers.
This is the same asshole who told me that my web palettes composed of blue and orange hues needed to use "more complementary colors".
Folks who've never coded ARE NOT competent to manage coders. Folks with not even a basic understanding of the fucking COLOR WHEEL shouldn't be evaluating designs.
'nuff said. sorry if my dirty words hurt your fragile little eyes.
