I genuinely don't think it should be illegal to put my face onto porn in Photoshop. In fact I don't think anything you can do with legal images in Photoshop should be illegal.
Considering the bug is also in Firefox doesn't your ridiculous caricature also apply to them? And yeah, it's so easy to write code that doesn't have a single bug in it. Examples of huge apps with zero bugs ever found are:
About 90% of the criticisms you see towards IRV are directed at variants where you can opt not to fill out every box, i.e. give preferences to as few or as many candidates as you like. This isn't possible in the Australian thing, meaning problems with (for example) no-majority winners and issues with wasted votes due to only being given x numbers to use when there are x+n candidates don't apply.
the point is that HTML already uses indenting to some degree, and has rules that make sequential whitespace unimportant in most cases combined with stylistic constraints like not line breaking inside attributes. embedding a langauge where whitespace is significant inside a markup where whitespace is insignificant is retarded. what happens when you want to invoke python inline in an onclick for example, and need to start a new line? you cant use the HTML's level of indenting because python needs its own, so what do you do? break back to column 1? in a multi-line quoted string? what about when a script tag starts at a certain level of indentation?
Levelling is fun when you're doing quests and instances, but way too much pre-60 levelling isn't do either but running from point to point all over the world map. Quests in Shimmering Flats tell you to go to Booty Bay then to Grom'gol then back to Shimmering Flats. I won't even go into the 'epic' levelling quests like Shaman totem quests, Warlock pet quests, etc. In those days the designers though, the more of the world you cover, the harder or more rewarding the quest, In actuality it's just running around for 45 minutes to kill 3 mobs. Not fun at all.
Also, getting an instance run on a pre-60 instance is near impossible on an old server because at any given point in time, maybe 5-10% of the players online are pre-70, and even fewer around your level. There are maybe 2-3 instances you're gauaranteed to be able to run (Horde side say WC and SM Arms/Cath), anything else, good luck.
There is also the problem of relatively underpowered characters when levelling. At 70, even in greens/blues, it takes maybe 10 seconds to kill an even con mob and you'll lose almost no health/mana doing it. Grinding is very fast-paced with decent rewards and very little downtime. Pre-60 killing an even con can take 30 seconds and 30% or more of both your health and mana depending on your class. It's a much more frustrating experience when coming from the 70 game.
The fact that other MMOs are even more punishing is unimportant, most people who play WoW don't other MMOs, at least any more, for that exact reason. But within WoW, there's a massive difference to the way characters level before and after Outland, and I tihnk anyone who's played Outland is going to be spoiled by how much better the design there is when going back to the old world.
no single game designer has had anywhere near as much impact on video games as miyamoto throughout his career. i dont know what miyamoto had to do with starfox assault but one mediocre game means nothing. even 10 mean nothing when you've been invovled in as many games as miyamoto has. also "TWP" as you call it is an excellent game thats judged 10x harder than any no-name game simply because it's zelda and it has a legacy of one of the greatest video game series of all time (if not the greatest). i'll gladly acknowledge wind waker didn't meet expectations but at the same time it succeeded in turning a video game into a cartoon more than any game ever has before or since, it basically puts to shame any and all other attempts at "cel shading" thanks not only to its excellent execution of that but also its equally amazing and consistent animation and other visual elements.
if miyamoto's overrated i'd like an example of one person you think is more important to video gaming than him, and i don't mean one-shot wonder accidents like whoever invented space invaders but people who have been consistently creating excellent games through something like 5+ generations of gaming platforms.
If only the psychiatric profession had as much insight as you! We could just tell people to "get over it" and everything would be fine. Suffered years of psychological and physical abuse? Get over it! Shot in the leg? Get ov... oh wait, sorry, you're a victim.
It's already been done. The guy was sent a 'please stop doing this' letter by Google if I recall, which I think he went along with. No formal suit or anything, but they didn't like it. I'll be damned if I can remember the link, I think there was a K5 story or two on it though.
I agree that the keyboard UI could use some improvements (e.g. being able to capture keystrokes instead of making you spell them out, alerting you on conflicts without having to manually search from them yourself), but I don't think it's nearly as cryptic as you're making out
You must have some strange browsing habits, or are exagerrating severely. 50% of sites have Opera issues? Please. I haven't had to open another browser for compatibility reasons in a week.
When you learn to use it it makes sense, but if you refuse to do that you can just edit the.ini file for keyboard shortcuts. It's basically plaintext. Even still, I can't believe a slashdot user can't in five minutes figure out how to use a simple two-column list of keystrokes and commands (searchable and with sections).
I see. So, monopolies are bad and competition is good, but there's only allowed to be ONE competition with the leader at a given time? Your argument can just as easily be applied to eliminate Firefox. Why should you have to support TWO browsers when 90% of the population uses only one (IE)? Firefox is damaging the internet by forcing people to support more than one browser!
Please. This is why we have standards: so the can have both competition and compatibilty. It's not perfect, but no competition is even worse.
Except that Firefox doesn't "believe in" the digital signatures that protect IE users from problems like this. It's not "open source" enough for them. So their users get infected with viruses like this. Some ideology.
Because I find Opera much more stable and reliable, much faster and just a lot easier to work with. To give a random example of something I consider really essential that Firefox does not have, where is the unified keybinding interface? Some (very few) keys you can change, sure, but at least 50% of them are hardcoded into the core files and basically impossible to edit meaningfully. To me this is just ridiculous.
Because tagging someone for life because they've commited a "sex offense" basically says that "sex offender" are impossible to reform, which is obviously bullshit. You're a "sex offender" if you're 19 and sleep with a 15 year old. Should a person like this be tracked for life after his (hopefully very short) jail term? Stamping someone as potentially guilty for life based on nothing other than the little legal tag that goes along with their crime is nothing but ridiculous. If for some reason we have a known and unrepentant child molester being set free, who proudly states he can and will molest children again, okay, maybe tagging him is some sort of solution to this. But tagging someone just because they're a "sex offender" is just as stupid as giving out the same sentence to everyone who commits a crime with the same name. The severity of the punishment has to match the severity of the crime, and there is a GREAT deal of ranges of severity under the title of "sex offender".
these people have already served their time in jail?

You can still play on any server which does not run VAC, it is after all an optional system for server admins.

basically you're a moron.
Only makes sense. Speculation about a price cut means more people hanging out for it and not buying more profitable (for Sony) PS3s today.

You're right, he only lost CA$165 or so, plus auction listing fees.

You're right, Opera doesn't have rich text editing yet. It's coming in the next major Opera release, 9.0, according to developer blogs.
But the DS doesn't support regular old GB and GBC games, whereas the GBA and GBA SP do.
Except that Firefox doesn't "believe in" the digital signatures that protect IE users from problems like this. It's not "open source" enough for them. So their users get infected with viruses like this. Some ideology.
Also, that is not a split infinitive. I don't think you know what an infinitive is. A run on sentence isn't an error either.
