I didn't RTFA, but how exactly did the police get involved in this whole thing anyway? I mean...If I felt I was wronged in an on-line game I would notify someone associated with the game, not the police. I just don't get it.
I read only those responses that score a 3 or better, I meta moderate, I moderate, and all of that seems to work well.
When I have mod points, I'll read posts with lower scores. I don't typically issue a point to someone who already has 3 or better. Those are the commonly read posts that could very well get to 5. I like to try to find those hidden gems and mod them up for the public to see!
I'd never actually tried google maps in IE before, but it's actually better than google maps in Firefox; The zoom is interactive, and the route is drawn much quicker in IE as well.
Granted I didn't RTFA, but, I just put them side by side.. and other than the route drawing quicker in IE (VML vs PNG), they appear identical to me in speed, look and functionality.
So... who wants to take bets on how long until the WoW servers will come back up?
They won't leave it down for long... Time is money regardless of people cheating.
And will they refund their customers for the days of server outages?
No.
Also... what is going to be done about all of the gold and items duped already before they took down the servers?
All you can do is delete obvious dup items. Nothing you can do with the gold. Sure, alot of players will have gotten away with cheating. But its in Blizzards best intererst to have had players cheat than to piss off and lose loyal paying customers

Who needs labels? Are you looking at the keyboard or the screen when you're gaming?
It would be sweet for new games, where you're unfamilar with the keys, to see what all your options are. Once you know the keys, you won't need to look.. unless you just had a brain fart and can't remember which key arms a granade vs flash bomb. I think its a very cool idea.
Side thought.. One could create a Simon-like game with that keyboard. 101 button Simon.. yay!Could make people type out stuff like:

I don't mean that we should adopt every new technology even if it's only marginally better, but we shouldn't cling to old technology when there are clearly better alternatives out there.
I know someone who just bought a VCR for the first time 2 years ago. To her, it IS new technology. I think the primary reason people hang on to VCR's is because it allows them to record their shows and watch all their old home videos for very little cost. I don't own one anymore personally.. I love my DVR:)
I've never used Ubuntu before, but have heard many good things about it. I hope they do become the next Red Hat. Red Hat used to be THE distro. I was a user since verion 5.2.. but when they did the whole Fedora thing... I was doing nothing but chasing down bugs and installing endless updates and quickly got fed up and went looking elsewhere for a distribute simular to Red Hat.
Installing gentoo sounded too difficult... Wasn't interested in the "old, but stable" philosophy of Debian.. could't find iso's for SUSE at the time...Installed Mandrake and it worked for the most part, but i got annoyed that everytime I rebooted, the windows key on the keyboard stopped working. Heard about Xandros being simple, so I tried that and sure enough, it had by far the best Linux desktop environment i've used to date. Was also impressed that it was only 1 CD, installed in under 20 minutes and pretty much everything was setup as default the way I had spent a good hour or so setting up mandrake as. (firefox as default browser, Thunderbird, OpenOffice, windows short cut keys, etc)..BUT they put limitations on the CD burner (2X max? WTF?!?) in the free version. I don't think anyone should HAVE to pay $90 for linux no matter how well setup it is. I'll be more than happy to donate time and/or money if I like the distro.
so.. I hope Ubuntu becomes big. I hope they become the next Red Hat.. be the #1 player in linux desktop and server market and make lots of money... but please, please, please...don't follow in Red Hats footsteps and forget who got you there... users who like their software free!
Yahoo has some cool services (The fantasy football is one of my personal favorites), but not all of yahoo's offerings work in firefox. Just try to watch a music video on launch.yahoo.com. And wasn't yahoo's search powered by google for the longest time?
Whats most annoying to me is that if you goto one of Yahoo's chat rooms, you'll get pounded with instant messages from bots telling you to go sign up to see a webcam show. And there's no OPS to ban them. I don't know why Yahoo chat got more popular than IRC. Felt good to kick-ban bots. Maybe Yahoo created/distributed those kiddie scripts that wannabe's used to bring the IRC servers to a halt. "Hey, our chat rooms suck, but at least you can log in!"-Yahoo Chat
I just think its hilarious that this poster decided it would be great to pimp off where he works...

Um..Why?
And why haven't you had a job?

I agree. Ratting someone out isn't cool. ESPECIALLY if they are your friend. Noone likes a tattletail.
Remind me to never be friends with you.

MIght be you, because I thought about that indentity theft commercial.
Exactly what I was thinking.

I had no problems with Mandrake when I ran it. I run Xandros now, and lovin' it.
I just think its hilarious that this poster decided it would be great to pimp off where he works... and took the company site down via slashdotting. GJ!

Probably doesn't work there now
it would be released in the media as proof of alien civilizations, then a day later it would be "proved to be a hoax".
