    I'm pretty sure it's easier to get them mailed to you.

    And I say again: "ASTROTURF"

    Don't you have better things to do than comment on if people have better things to do than read why Netflix envelopes aren't square?

    The "very small rural town" on mine is Worcester.

    "Worcester is a city in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in the United States of America. A July 1, 2002, estimate put the population at 174,962."

    If you LAN at all, Renegade is actually in high demand. It's got some fun multiplayer.

    I have a TV hooked up to my PC, and sitting off to the side of my room. When I'm playing WoW, I usually have old episodes of Space Ghost, Sealab 2021, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, or some other great [as] show playing in the background.

    So, yeah. You don't have to watch what's playing.

    Hell, have you seen kids play racing games? We-- I mean "They" jerk the controller all over the place, and even lean in to the turns!

    Seriously, watch some people play.

  8. Re:Wow. Moral checkmate on a Libertarian. on Legal Restrictions on Cellphone Use Gain Traction · · Score: 1

    Stupid? Try freedom loving. If you can't handle your booze, stop drinking when you're near your limit. Personal responsibility. There's no real debate here. Be responsible for your actions. Less laws, more responsiblilty.

    End of discussion, Sally.

    And, what's the problem with that?

    The point where you're too drunk to drive isn't the same as mine, so who decides what "drunk" is?

    I've got a friend that drinks beer all day, and no matter how Shithoused he gets, he seems more sober than me (and I've never had a sip in my life). He's also a very safe driver.

    Like I said, please try to restrict my liberty further. That'd be great.

    Wow, okay, so it's been a while. I updated my data last November, but for some reason the data never got pushed to the web site. I've temporarily released a new Version 19.0 with some of that data, going up to approximately January. I'm going to try to complete a fully revised set of data and analysis as soon as possible. In the meantime, enjoy the new release."

    Please, restrict my freedom more. That'd be great.

    How about, if you are in an accident while using your cell phone, you accept the responsibility for your actions? Would that be such an unthinkable thing?

    Because we're trying to fix the problem, instead of letting the problem fix itself.

    So, we can't say "Wow, they should have x freedoms" but they can say "Death to the great satan" and try to kill us?

    If they're trying to change how WE live OUR lives, you can't say "Let them live however they want" because it's infringing on OUR freedom to do so.

  15. Re:I knew I was a strange kid... on Will Wright's Dream Machines · · Score: 1

    I was the same with games that had story lines. Starcraft, I read the manual like 200 times. The information in there was great. But for something like Smackdown vs Raw 2006 or EA Games Generic Sports Game *YEAR*, there's nothing in there you wouldn't learn in a better way by just playing the game.

    He did grossly violate policy by automating his playing. That's against the rules. There's no arguement here.

  17. My reaction.. on Shock Game Advertising · · Score: 2, Insightful

    When I saw that in PCGamer.. my first thought was "That looks like the chick from Sin City, I wonder what game this is?"

    If the ad makes you stop and look at it, they win.

    Weren't you the same people saying "Games aren't real"? Well, they're not. Stop bitching.

    And how is this any different than showing monsters being shot in the face area by our manly hero's giant gun?

    They say that if you break the rules you'll be punished. Right?

    Well, they also say they can punish you any way they see fit. Right?

    Botters get banned without any warning. The only thing worse than the botting is the kiddies using teleporters.

    No, not all of them. But my license has my SSN right on it.

  21. Re:But He Filled It Out on Torn-up Credit Card Apps Not So Safe · · Score: 1

    Getting someone's SSN is pretty easy. Up until a few years ago, the default license # was your SSN. There are also pay services where you can get all of someone's public information for like $19. Depending on the person's credit rating, $19 is a steal.

  22. Re:all that time leveling lost because of a keyboa on Banned From WoW For WINE & Programmable Keyboard · · Score: 1

    Botting is a "very serious" issue. If you bot, you're pretty much banned without the suspensions first.

  23. Re:It was most likely Wine on Banned From WoW For WINE & Programmable Keyboard · · Score: 1

    There's a bot that monitors screen position and auto-clicks for you. You can tell it where your chat box is, and if it detects the whisper color it will reply with a message (or messages) that you set.

    It's really scummy, but I got from 25-45 with it while I was at work over 2 weeks. :)

  24. Re:Why was it WINE or keyboard? on Banned From WoW For WINE & Programmable Keyboard · · Score: 1

    the GMs, upon receiving a complaint about someone botting will whisper them. If they get no reply, they try a few more times. If that fails, they teleport directly to the character and try to interact with them. If that fails, they teleport the character to somewhere else, and if they still don't change their behavior, you get disconnected and investigated.

    I used to be a botter. :)

    You can install OSX on your PC already. I've got it on my laptop. No wireless (yet) but it's fun to play with. It's also why I'm getting a Macbook Pro (when the Rev B comes out). I love OSX from my limited use of it. And if I could put Windows on there too? That would be great.
