    Some of their GMs do talk like that. (wonders if they would pass the Turing test)

  2. Re:Of course, I didn't RTFA on Battle.net Accounts Becoming Mandatory For WoW · · Score: 1

    Possibly Blizzard will alter the way they do bans, so a ban on WOW doesn't ban SC2. Then again maybe not. Ive got two separate WOW accounts that are 'linked' by a common authenticator - would a ban on one account propagate to the other?

    You've got to wonder how many inventors have shown up at Microsoft's door to show them their invention...

    1993 to 1997? Seems a long time for them to maliciously copy something.

    It could very well be things in your diet. For instance I find that I break out if I eat salami and some other deli meats; I'm guessing that it might be the nitrates. .

    Ah. I always guessed it was the high fat content of salami.

    Dear Sir or Madam,

    The responsible Anti-Microsoft Troll that should have replied to this post by now is on sick leave and was unable to prepare a custom flaming reply to this particular post. In lieu of that, attached is our generic template which we use to write all our flaming responses.

    1. Make a general anti-Microsoft jab

    This may fall under #1, but I think "Make a Ballmer joke" should be on the list as well. Mention "chair" or "developers", etc...

    >>>Passengers should be banned, too. That increases reaction time

    You are correct. AAA performed a study about ten years ago and found the reason teen drivers have such high accident rates is almost-universally due to other teens in the car distracting the driver.

    Getting a BJ whilst driving would qualify.

    SO, it's legal to use a street directory whilst driving, (visualises holding street directory looking away from road, steering with knees), but not a GPS integrated into a phone.

    Hey, would it be legal to operate a GPS integrated into a PDA? (that might have a phone integrated into it too. (if it's the phone that irritates them, I could put it into airplane mode))

    If the manufacturers are serious about the post-rebate price, then let them make it the price they sell it for, and get rid of the rebate system.

    also, it doesn't have shit to do with using "two lasers", the story writer at PC Authority is just retarded. In addition, if I might editorialize, is this really necessary?
