Check the code to a normal add-on and then check thotbot's code to understand that I'm talking about.
My only point was that I would be wary of anyone receiving account info, not just thottbot/IGE. It seems to me that nobody cared about the obfuscated add-on until they found out it was owned by IGE.
it's called WoWReader
Thanks... I thought it was something else just for profiles the way it's sectioned off in the sidebar.
Sometimes parents do everything right and still end up with a serial killer.
By definition they didn't do everything right otherwise their child wouldn't have become a serial killer. And please name one serial killer who had good parents.
Parents should be the most influential part of a child's life. If a parent has allowed a video game, tv show, deadbeat uncle or whatever to have more influence, then those parents have failed.
The thottbot add-on is obfuscated, meaning that while you can still figure out what is being sent, you'd have to spend alot of time working on it to be sure.
This would be true regardless of who you were sending the info to. In fact I would trust IGE to not steal my account info more than Joe Schmo who has set up a similar site. IGE has more to lose if it is found that they're stealing account info.
Mine is that IGE collects information which allows them to farm better, and decides to start either holding back info to have a 'competitive edge' or worse, starts faking information. Yeah, people can start their own sites, and I consider Alkazam a better site anyway, but only if they know they need to.
This I agree with. In fact higher end information is oddly lacking on thottbot's site. Does Allakhazam have an Add-On I can install to update their info? I can't seem to find one on their main site.
1) Try Mandrake 2) Try to get dual displays working 3) Be interested in external drives 4) Even know what power management is
For the vast majority of PC users the OS doesn't matter until they want a piece of software that only works on one OS.
I'd guess that most people who might buy a $499 Dell or an eMac have never even heard of Linux.
And the statement "I no longer have to worry about my computer working because it just does" also applies to my Dell laptop. Reliability isn't solely the domain of Apple.
"I am pretty much solely responsible for that, since it was my pitch and my screenplay that got made."
He never wanted to make a Doom movie. He wanted to make a movie in the Doom universe.
It's like making a movie called "Marvel Universe" about a housewife's illicit love affair with her pool boy.
He's keeping the theme of the games minus the demons and minus Mars. So we'll get a Will Smith movie with a BFG thrown in. Good thing they're using the Doom license.
Who is justifying anything? The question was asked (as I understood it) if something was not worth paying for, why would you want to see it. I answered that question.
But you did get your chance to equate downloading a movie to rape, so I guess you win... or huamanity loses. It's a tough call.
No... a Pepsi is made available at no cost to me. I'll drink it.
A movie is made available at no cost to me.
I'll watch it.
The point wasn't that someone paid for something. The point is that people (at least me) assign different values to things. A Pepsi isn't worth any money to me, and neither is Bad Boys 2.
I'll gladly pay for a Mountain Dew, and I'll gladly pay for Spiderman 2.
Culture isn't exported as much as it's imported. There has to be a market for the "crack addicted black urban slum dweller" lifestyle. If that's what middle class Australia is all about, I'm sorry, but don't blame that on America.
I think you might have interpreted his statement backwards. I don't think he was implying that all geeks like Adult Swim, but that the majority of its audience (which is pretty large as far as late night basic cable is concerned) are geeks.
Would you disagree that MST3K is a "geek" show? It certainly didn't cater to a mainstream audience. Obviously not ALL geeks enjoyed it.
Eh, but this is all opinion anyway so what's the point?

I'm quite happy that BB chooses not to carry NC17 movies
Why? Are you unable to control yourself?
corporations and politicians only have as much power as the people give them.
Change that to "corporations and politicians only have as much power as they are able to take" and you've got it.

since your not going to find fish unless you have a handy sheet of gps coords of rock piles, or other structures that contain fish
It's a good thing we got that GPS thing taken care of before we invented fishing.
An M rating shouldn't be the concern of the school if the parents don't object.
Yes it should. Little Timmy's parents may sign off on letting him watch porno, but that still doesn't mean that it's appropriate for school.
Not to take anything away from the eMac, but Halo did come out a year ago and he mentioned this year's hot games.
And what did you mean by the CAT5 comment? Not owning an eMac, I'm not quite sure what you mean.
How many eMac customers would
1) Try Mandrake
2) Try to get dual displays working
3) Be interested in external drives
4) Even know what power management is

A family of five buys a Spider-Man 2 DVD. Two brothers want to play World of Warcraft. At the same time.
Ah... there's some of that division.
Did you read the letter?

You equated rape and copyright infringement all while missing the point of the discussion entirely.
If my calling you out on it is a personal attack, so be it.

By downloading it, you admit the desire to see it
No, I'm admiting that I want to see it for free.
I'll probably never buy a can of Pepsi. If someone gives me a can of Pepsi, I'll drink it. Understand?
Who modded this insightful?

it's about being able to confront many issues at once
Yeah! Look how well we've been able to handle both Afghanistan and Iraq! Oh wait...
People looking from afar don't face the same threats that we face in our own country.
You're right.... they've been facing them for decades.
