Mine will spawn and instantly decapitate any player that start overusing "net slang" like ROFL LMAO or intent to use the word gay as pejorative slang.
Exemple:
Player 1 : Meh, got a gray item this is gay.
Monster : *Pouff* *chop* *chop*.
Player 2 : Ha ha! pwned ROFL LMAO!!111
Monster : *Pouff* *chop* *chop*
For what I know you are the aggressive shill who is trying to push your opinion down the throat of everybody. Also according to his Slashdot serial he was already here when you were just discovering the intarwebs on your AOL connection.
(By the way my fancy word is more interesting than yours but keep it up you may impress one of your little nephews one day and who knows, maybe even sound intelligent! )
From TFA:
This isn't the first online community site planned around World of Warcraft. In July, an online dating site titled "World of Datecraft" invited night elves and others to mingle and find matches for some offline romance. The site has since been taken down.
"You don't think that the media might respond somewhat critically to the idea of an MMO that makes the opportunity for war-rape one of its attractive features, do you? Naww...."
Maybe. And if it happens it will be a wonderful free marketing campaign for WAR.
"Trying to stiff the person who created a cash cow for you is not exactly conducive to a harmonious working relationship."
It makes me think of what Sierra did with Valve (Half Life games). After Valve made the two hugely successful cash cows that are half life 1 and 2 Sierra decided to try to screw them. It went to court and in the end Valve won and then dumped Sierra for Electronics Arts. How stupid do you have to be to act like that with your successful business partners?
That's exactly what I was thinking 1 month would have been a nice round number. It's not specially the playtime they lost but more the insulting harsh email they sent in the first place. Blizzard only started moving because the users organized in the public forum of Cedega and because Slashdot made the case public, if it was a group of less savvy users, they would have lost their money and accounts.
"Why is it that you don't hear about NBA stars disconnected from reality? All they do is live in their celebrity. They live, breathe, and eat basketball. When the day is done, they go out to clubs in expensive cars and live the life of a celebrity. Are these people just as disconnected from reality?"
Good question, my answer is: because people are normally afraid of what they don't understand. Sports are easy to understand, every idiot can understand sports. But looking at strange code on a computer screen or playing games is not familiar to older generations and they react accordingly with fear and accusations of witchcraft.
Another alternative is to make a complain at the "Better Business Bureau", this will damage their rating and smack them where it hurts. Even better " The BBB will try to mediate the dispute [against Blizzard] through their complaint process"
I just got an idea. It would be cool if eventually there was a web site with the aim of creating and donating content for those kids. If we knew what kind of pedagogic material they need I am sure that many people would be happy to write eBooks or educational software about mathematics science or any other subject (or even donate material already written ). I prefer to donate time on those projects than money that would probably go directly in the pocket of some rich warlord or dictator.
Of course, open source and open content already exist but if the aim was to directly help kids in developing countries, the content created would be more suitable for their needs and maybe more people would volunteer.
"I encourage all Canadians voting in municipal elections tomorrow to make your feelings about e-voting (especially on Diebold machines) known to the organizers"
I agree with your statement and will probably talk my municipal elected official. Now I want to add that our federal voting system is right now perfectly good in is paper ballot country wide form. If any party, Conservatives or Liberals, try to introduce some of those shenanigans blatant imitation of democracy, I really hope that all Canadians will stand together to say that we don't want that shit. Please fellow Canadians don't let it happen.
Yeah that's what the guys who sells crack to kids normally says. "If I wasn't doing the job someone else would do it and maybe would sell bad shit to those kids! Would you like that those kids take some bad stuff? I am just helping them!"
According to the Warcraft lore, they are supposed to be addicted to magic and nothing else.
"...Blood Elves revel in the magic that they wield and show little regard for much anything else aside from their beautiful homeland..." "...Their hunger for magic is so intense that nothing can satisfy the addiction; a primary aspect of Blood Elven culture is to master their addiction before it consumes them..."
Seams that Blizzard just gave them a steroid and bodybuilding addiction as well.:)
"...As a disclaimer, let me say that I'm one of the technical reviewers of the book and I have been working with Lua since 1993, most of the time interacting with Roberto Ierusalimschy, even when not working in the same projects as him..."
"...I really recommend this book to anyone interested in learning Lua, and also for those who already know how to use Lua but would like to fully master its way of thinking, the so called "Lua way" of doing things. The book has been considered by many as an excellent guide on programming, even if one is not interested in Lua in particular..."
So in other words, he recommends the book to:
1 - People who want to learn LUA;
2 - People who already know LUA but may want to know more about it;
3 - People who don't want to learn LUA (or simply the rest of the human race).
After telling us how close to the project he is, the third reason sounds to me like: "Oh and by the way in, case you don't need the book at all here some random reason to try to convince you to buy it anyway." In the same vain he could have said:
The book has been considered by many as an excellent base ingredient to make"papier-maché" scultures , even if one is not interested in Lua in particular."
The book has been considered by many as an excellent cockroach crusher, even if one is not interested in Lua in particular."
The book has been considered by many as an excellent way to make a fire in case you are stranded on a tropical island after a plane crash, even if one is not interested in Lua in particular."
"...Yeah, because it's a reasonable assumption that someone will hunt you down and beat you with an axe handle for something you said in a chat room..."
I know, I hate when it happens to me.//By the way, if trolls where speaking face to face with ramdom strangers in the streat the way they speak on the internet, they would go instinct in no time.
Det Sgt Jean-Marc Bazzoni, of Essex Police, added the case demonstrates the importance of protecting one's identity on the internet.
"It demonstrates how easily other users can put two and two together and also shows how children could also find themselves in danger."
No, it demonstrate the importance of acting civilized and how people should stop acting like savages just because they are not in front of the person they are communicating with.
Considering the huge amount of code and media we find in computers these days I'll bet anything that if it was possible to audit the provenance of anyone computer we could easily find programs/content produced by pedophiles, murderers, scammers and even RIAA lawyers.
Is that a reason to throw the computer to the garbage? I think that corporations would only throw away the code if it become and issue popular in the media, otherwise just changing the name of the project will be enough for any company.
"..."I think the secret to the future is quantity," Lucas said..."
Because he worked so hard on "quality" in the last three movies. Maybe he should just aim get someone competent to write the scripts. I think the guy have very good story ideas but he is also very good to screwing them up when he try to tell then himself.
That's a project I have since some time. I think a stationary recumbent bike is the best for that because it's much more comfortable. I don't play video games lately (since I quitted cold turkey WOW) but with that setting I'll have a good excuse to play each day. Did someone saw a plan or some ideas for that somewhere?
"one bulb is equivalent to taking 1.3 million cars off the roads"
"I think you mean *110 million bulbs* are equivalent to taking 1.3 million cars off the roads."
All this confusion is caused by the fact they did not used the journalistic standard system of measurement. I am talking of course of libraries of congress and/or football stadiums.
There is no way he did by "mistake" he did not just change colors but also cloned buildings. Well the good side of it is that he can now go participate in Fark Photoshop contest!
Unfortunately after looking almost all the real money links I found no site that appear to be mainstream enough. However many of the play money ones seams fun and it cost nothing to try so enjoy!
Very useful information you gave here, I will probably try it. However, what you said about the liquidity of the market is what I was fearing the most and that's why I was trying to find the most popular one (with the most volume).
Is this the most popular site of its kind? Is there a bigger competitor somewhere? I'll keep looking and post it if I find something in cases anyone wants to know.

I admit this was not 100% politically correct proof, here my second try:
The only problem is that historically, the gun owners (who may be nuts or not) are normally less incline to dissent with the Republican government.
The only problem is that the majority of the gun nuts are the ones following the government.
