I live in a town where I have to travel half an hour to find a Taco Bell and KFC. The nearest Burger King is 45 minutes away. I've never even seen a Popeye's.
A delicious mix of herbs and spices that makes music better?
I don't get it.

I don't know if you've ever installed a pirated copy of Windows, but I.. have a 'friend' who has.
Here's the fun in all this: With XP Pro Corporate Edition, you only need to throw in a legit looking key and Windows will install, but you can't get windows updates unless you go out and find a WGA enabler every time they change WGA. With Vista, you install one program that acts like a driver and you have a 100% legit OEM copy of Vista activated and able to download updates and even the "supreme super duper special" stuff that only "Ultra-Ultimate" edition can get access to.
Reinstall Starcraft. I did. The video looks AMAZING compared to the original SC, and you know what? The original SC doesn't even look that bad once you get into it.
Actually, Blizzard has said that they've learned not to announce things until they're almost done. They've said themselves the only thing left is tweaking the balance between the sides. The engine is polished, the physics are polished, they have voice acting done in at least 2 languages that I know of (Korean and English). The game has been in development for four years now, and rumor has it that we'll be seeing it either holiday season this year or early next year. Blizzard has stated SC2 will be out before the 10th anniversary of the original coming out.
The SC2 engine has been built from the ground up. It has NOTHING to do with Warcraft 3's engine. And hey, if you're bored with the presentation, go play Peggle or something.
The trailer isn't "customized" for the Korean language, it's english CG with dubbed korean over it. They're aliens, ffs, they don't speak English OR Korean!
But, if you yanked your head out of your ass long enough to COMPREHEND the original post that you replied to, you'd see that he was only insulting the Dodge Neon 40' Wing crowd, and not your people.
something is wrong with the average slashdotter. Whenever someone posts saying "Yeah, x is nice, but I've been using Y for a while and I like it for the same reasons." some asshole always pipes up with "LOL URA SHILL ROFL FUCK OFF SLASHVERTIZMNT LULZ"
Honestly, it wasn't like this 2+ years ago. What's the deal?
Second, the cars you're defending are usually first gen Dodge Neons painted in "ass kicking" primer color and they don't go over 55 mph unless it's down hill with a STRONG wind behind them.
You did geek out a bit more than a Star Wars fan after hearing Vader called "Kirk" but that's ok, you're on/. and we're your people. But, dude. Chillax. He didn't stab your mother.
Well, Maine and New Hampshire are rejecting RealID right now, and there may be other states doing it as well. Some states are realizing that they don't need to be fucked over by the government constantly.
If you don't like the language or behavior of the people playing... go play something else? Or, leave the general chat. Or, only talk to people in your guild. Or, go play a RP server (blocking the griefing nubs who bother you when their server is down).

Don't forget that most of the articles in the May edition of Magazine were written back in March.
I'm going to call this Bradley's Law. It's like Godwin, but with GWB.
No, it's considered 100% legit by Microsoft.

Vista is EASIER to Pirate and Crack.
You just asked for Warcraft 3.
Reinstall Starcraft. I did. The video looks AMAZING compared to the original SC, and you know what? The original SC doesn't even look that bad once you get into it.
Except that it has a physics engine. And the units are almost TOTALLY different. And the graphics are about 10 years newer. Yeah. Other than all that.

You're crazy as shit.
But to address your points..

And people wonder why Russia can't pull itself out of the gutters..

Mr. Elitist Nerd, maybe you're the one who should be on his way out.
And you can keep your membership cards.
First of all, tl;dr.

Any man who liked "Dirty Work" is OK in my book.
A cellphone, not a smartphone or a pocket PC type deal?
Well, a "high end cellphone" costs from $49 (with contract!) to $499. This is 3x the price of a high-end cellphone.
You didn't even read the question. He asked how to explain his job to his kid. Not how to raise a child.
No, you don't have more rights than I do. If the Management isn't doing anything about it, go do something else.
You're the same brand of asshole who got smoking banned in BARS.

Well, I fucked that up. I gotta learn to preview, the quote was "gb2gaia"

When Megatron transformed into a gun...
From what I read, they did the exact same thing for the movie. They wanted realistic space taken up by vehicle and robot forms.
