So I've been reading down this thread, and I'm having a hard time imagining how you've managed to post to slashdot, since you have to have some kind of webclient capable hardware, and internet connection, an education, and enough food and shelter to live long enough to get to the point where you can post on slashdot... all of which are dependant on living in a civilization. I guess you don't drive on roads, because those are an imposition on individual rights. I'm also assuming that you refuse the benefit of the various social services that you feel shouldn't exist, right? The fact is simple: individual rights, as you define them, are anarchy. Anarchy is the opposite of civilization, you can't have both and have a modern lifestyle.
If you want to give up toilet paper, police, 911 service, and internet access... well, more power to you. But I suspect you'll continue being a hypocrite, leaching off services from the government that you think other people shouldn't have. Typical pathetic selfish Randfill.
It is actually more cost effective to tie heavy weights to them and drop them into the deep ocean. Of course, maybe giving Cthulu access to lawyers isn't such a good idea...
Yeah, what brings Bush to a new low is that instead of the ends justifying the means like with Lincoln and FDR, for Bush there is no justification, no logic, no sense, no idea other than party first, most, and always.
So where do you draw the line? Is a custom virus designed from the ground up to inject gene therapy payloads into human cells a machine or a virus? Ok, a virus isn't considered alive, so its a machine right? Now what about when we take the next step and manufacture a phage to kill Staph? Is that a machine or alive? There are more things in heaven and earth...
Spliced? Jesus, are you mainlining the koolaide at this point? Please tell me the edited out question which gives context to her answers and makes them make sense? Do you think maybe Katie Couric asked Palin, "Please, could you just spout some gibberish for us for a minute or two, mix in some half-formed talking points, and change the subject several times in each sentence. Its just a little game we play in the main stream media while our crew calibrates the MSM Filter?"
Your desperation and fear are pathetic. Oh and guess what? Your guy is gonna lose.
Smart enough to get elected governor of a state that also thought Ted "Tubes" Stevens would be a great Senator. Alaskans are obviously excelent judges of intellect. Almost as good as the people of my state, Texans. Of course, no one can hold a candle to the legendary mental acuity of the people of Louisiana...
Yeah I'm having button mash fever on my rogue and mage in 3.0. My hunter is still overloaded with buttons to mash too. My paladin is exactly on the edge, I have just enough buttons to have all of the important abilities within quick push range, and the change of a bunch of abilities to instant cast makes things actually smoother. You play something like a first person shooter for a few days though and you quickly wonder why Blizzard can't figure out a way to make the gameplay that seamlessly simple.
Try playing there. Its not empty, but there are only three BT level raiding guilds on windrunner horde side, almost no one does tier 5 content, and no one is doing anything but trash runs up to the first boss in sunwell. Take it from someone who plays there, the loose estimates from warcraftrealms don't even come close to relfecting the real story there.
Of course its nothing compared to some of the ghost town pvp servers.
You played through the content first, now everyone should have to play exactly how you did? I'm not sure how things are on your server, but right now on the server I play on (Windrunner - Horde) there are not enough people to support raiding tier 5 content long enough to catch up with the people who have been raiding tier 6. Without badge gear and relaxation of attunement requirements, newer players would be stuck at Karazan until the new expansion comes out. By relaxing requirements as the life cycle of content passes peak, they allow newer people to join the game and come play with their friends without having to drag an entire guild of 25 people to older tier 4/5 content to gear them up. Its good for the game, and they end up attracting more people (more people = more fun) that way than if they were to give in to the raiding snobs and keep large portions of endgame inaccessable to anyone who hasn't been playing for more than a year.
Hell yeah. The original diablo on PS1 was really fun to play with friends. Though my friend liked to complain that I kept shooting him, even though he'd run into my line of fire!
To the WOW crew (Tigole and whoever else has an answer):
Do you ever plan on increasing the appearance customization for characters in the game, where not all (for example) tier 6 hunters look almost exactly the same? Perhaps by letting us choose to substitute existing graphics from other pieces of gear for those found on the "tier" sets? I know there has been a repeated wish on the part of the devs to make it easily recognizable what level of "progression" someone is on by looking at, for example, their shoulders and helm, but wouldn't it be equally desirable to allow players a chance to customize based on their own personal tastes, instead of wearing whatever has the best stats, without giving up the game mechanic advantages of wearing the higher powered gear?
Its hard to toss an example when its covered in steaming shit because you just pulled it out of your ass. Dude is just another zombie repeating talking points he heard on Rush today.
Well, you CAN fight them, just not in court. Isn't it funny how we've set it up so that assymetrical power can be exercised from the rich to the poor, but not the other way around? Seems unsustainable over the long term to me.
I must agree! I, for one, believe that Shroedinger's closet must stay closed, so that anyone inside can remain both gay and not-gay simultaneously, thus preventing a collapse of the state!

As in Ayn Randfill. Garbage of the mind.
You're not supporting individual rights. You're the grasshopper leaching off the ants.

So... you're saying, the planet is being pulled by some sort of space train? Stop the presses! Scientists have discovered space trains!
Ironically, I just realized I was also describing the contents of my toilet bowl shortly after I woke up this morning...
A big blob of dark matter wrapped in something nice and baryonic?

In this case, "Charm" comes in the sizes: A, B, C, D, DD, etc...

I worry about diablo 3 for the same reason.

I believe the game you're looking for is called "Progress Quest."

Sorry I couldn't parse your triple negative.
Any idiot can see this is just viral marketing for next summers big Hollywood circle jerk sequel cash-in, Ocean'ss 535, where Goerge Clooney and his wacky gang disguise Matt Damon as Ben Bernanke and convince everyone in congress to vote to give him 700 billion dollars. Plus its just a rip off of the superior French version, Océan cinq hunred trente cinq. Sigh. Wait till you see the fucking McDonalds happy meal collectable tie in.

Hmm... that gives me an idea. What if I took sonics, and put them on a screwdriver...
Nah it'd never be useful.
