The WoW client apparently checks what processes are running and what webpages are open, then transmits it back to Blizzard. If this is to prevent cheating, why do all realms know who the gold farmers are and what the dupes are? (hint: read the realm forums). Blizzard doesn't seem to stop this sort of activity, or any other actions that violate the TOS, so why do the spying?
On a side note; server stability is very bad. SWG had better stability, but a worse game. If this dosn't improve, I could see out whole guild moving on to other games.
I am tempted to use my mod points on this comment. As a parent of a teen, no way will she get a laptop before college. And no way in hell will I spend $126 a month on insurance on a laptop. Geez. That's more money than I think I pay for health insurance. If it's absolutely neccessary...maybe...maybe...she'll get my old laptop which will be good enough for her to carry as a status symbol and she can use her desktop for school work.
Australia has a somewhat more favorable copywrite laws. Take a look at http://gutenberg.net.au/ which has some texts you can't download in the USA *wink*

The sheep don't think all sheep all look alike. Else where did they come from to begin with?
"In a related story, the 1-8 Miami Dolphins announced that all player surgery will henceforth be performed in Japan."
No, what *is* amusing is the effort by michael to point to the previous article. He wants people to think he reads /, and doesn't post dupes heh.
