If you buy this game you are essentially going to work for Blizzard except you will be paying for the privilege. Blizzard is taking a cut of each auction when it is posted and again when it is sold (real money). So, you pay Blizzard to play the game (where you search for treasures) then you pay Blizzard (in real money) to trade/buy/sell these things you paid them for the opportunity to find. This is a digital diamond mine and you are a fucking slave.
I was a hardcore D2 gamer, almost failed out of college because of that game, and I've been looking forward to D3 Very Much.
Maybe you are the one who needs to do the rethinking. D2 almost destroyed a very expensive education/life for you and you are looking forward to letting it try again with D3??
Who cares? The courts have already proven that they have no teeth against corporations. Hopefully this will hit them where it really hurts by demonstrating what a heap of shitheels these people are and they lose massive business which will impair their ability to buy political power in the future.
I guess you are blissfully unaware of the conditions that Bradley Manning has been kept in. Years of torture like that is much more gruesome than a swift, violent death.
Also, Manning did not betray this country. He betrayed the Bush and Obama administrations.
Which checkbox in the user settings do I have to check to get an e-mail update when the story comes out about Lamo finally getting his skull caved in with a steel pipe?
Except the U.S. spends an unfathomable amount of the taxes they collect on UNNECESSARY SHIT:
- More ballistic subs
- More nuclear missiles
- Outrageous pay and compensation for "public servants" (i.e. congressmen/senators)
- Unmanaged and out-of-control federal programs that are constantly way over budget, late to deliver and don't get even get fielded or launched many times. (i.e. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trailblazer_Project)
If there is a list of IP's that host children under 13 being sexually abused then why are they not being shut down instead of being put on a blacklist???
The tax battle is such a distraction from the real problem: Defense spending.
While the news is baiting the general populace into a fury by arguing about one group raising taxes or one group lowering taxes our government is funneling the GDP of world empires into useless defense spending.
Sorry to interrupt but you can now go back to bickering about the bikeshed.
Actually, it isn't. The government does this every day with consumer automobiles. If they don't pass safety standards, the company is told to go back and fix it. This is the same thing except the CONSUMER is telling the company to go fix their shit and stop being so fucking lazy.
This is unfortunate considering what lulzsec is currently doing for the IT job market. These attacks are getting incompetent people fired and making companies go out and look for competent people to hire in their place. Also, it is forcing them to actually invest money in their IT infrastructure instead of just slapping some servers together and letting some clowns straight out of a degree mill run them. People need to realize that this is a net good thing because if a 19 year old with no formal education is ripping servers owned by multi-billion dollar international corporations then the Chinese have already been there. A company would not even know about the Chinese intrusion much less publicize it once they found out so what lulzsec is doing is shining the light on how poorly these companies that hold your data are run.
In their defense, if this person is convicted on the crimes sentencing will be much lighter than if he had done it for some more nefarious reason like financial gain...see: sentence mitigation.

No wonder they implemented a filter!
Let's keep arguing about cutting Medicare and Social Security benefits while this $700 billion dollar waste of cash silently slips by!
The distraction is working.

I guess the moon still doesn't get television or internet yet.

Go ahead and feel free to start writing checks to your local government if you feel you have cheated them out of taxes from buying DVDs from Amazon.

What was he doing all that time?
Reading the man pages for aircrack-ng?
Or you could just sit in a free wifi area or use your neighbors wifi (down the block), boot backtrack and fire up nmap/metasploit.
You can either:
1. Get 1 day of jail and a fine for contempt of court.
OR
2. Get 15 years for felony mortgage fraud.
Is this really difficult?
Also, "forgetting" does happen and is more likely to happen to an individual under extreme stress...a psychiatrist can testify on her behalf.
Burn hydrocarbons. Lots of them.

"It" == "trial account limitations"
"It" != "the trial accounts themselves"
Your reading comprehension grade: F
Maybe you should demand the same quality out of your education system that you demand from your game publishers.
I have uploaded some pics of the bacteria in the Martian atmosphere:

Enjoy.
And their nonsense with hacking into porn sites and trying to publicly shame people who visit them made me want to strangle them with my own hands.
Anyone who pays for porn on the internet should be shamed. Seriously.
