  1. Re:Wireless Mighty Mouse on Bluetooth Versus Wireless Mice · · Score: 1

    In case anyone wonders why this is important, the best way to move in WoW is by chording and moving the mouse to turn, like an fps but with the chord replacing ws. Of course, ad are remapped to strafe, and the game has very poor click-to-move support. Edit: One downside to moving using another method besides chording is having to wrap your hands around / for walking and NumLock for autorun.

  2. Re:Wireless Mighty Mouse on Bluetooth Versus Wireless Mice · · Score: 1

    If a tank on WoW wiped the raid at 1% with no mouse, then they need to learn to use asdf and not click their abilities: 6523434- repeat.

  3. Re:Yeah, except on Windows Security and On-line Training Courses? · · Score: 1

    My university standardized on Firefox and uses Blackboard with no problems. The only time it's ever complained is when I sign on with a nightly it doesn't recognize the user-agent from, but it still works perfectly fine.

    wait what not everyone has water? ;) You're forgetting that some city dwellers are unfamiliar with life beyond the 'burbs.

    So wouldn't that be your fault for not managing your quota?

  10. Re:Nothing new here - A School PR Stunt on Students Call Space Station With Home-Built Radio · · Score: 1

    The sad thing is that Humber is the college attached to my university. This is really embarrassing: we should be able to do better, y'know?

  11. Re:Beautiful names... on Why Do We Name Servers the Way We Do? · · Score: 1

    Why, because she might have been a Greek prostitute? I don't really choose names based upon how "bangable" they might be, but their appropriateness as engaging imagery.

  12. Re:Beautiful names... on Why Do We Name Servers the Way We Do? · · Score: 1

    Thinking about it, I should really name my AP in my dorm room. It's currently named nevermind's sister (nevermind being the AP at home). Hmm...Aspasia? ("welcomed", from Greek)

  13. Beautiful names... on Why Do We Name Servers the Way We Do? · · Score: 1

    I keep a list of womens'/girls' names I like around for various reasons, and I pull names with appropriate meanings from there. Currently my laptop is Melantha ("dark flower"/black laptop), my PS3 is Integra (as it's hard to get the thing not to act as a media convergence device), and my new (silver) iPod is Seraph. My last iPod was Siren.

    Do they have people hired for balancing still working on the game?

    After 3.0.8, I wouldn't assume Blizzard has that for WoW itself!

    Oh my god. I'd mod you up, but I'm out of points. Love their bands to bits, but you've got the track record dead to rights.

  21. No Pay on Google Wants You To Be Its Unpaid Muse · · Score: 1

    Muses by definition are unpaid. If anything, they might be seduced instead of outrightly raped by the "artists" once or twice. Welcome to feminism, folks!

  22. Re:glaring ambiguity in your post on Review: Wrath of the Lich King · · Score: 1

    Blacksmithing's boe items are fantastic, especially for tanks. The Titansteel Shield Wall's better than anything until Naxx. As a jewelcrafter, I have a series of epic rings at 440 to look forward to - and they're worth the effort once I get there.

    Also, the lack of bop items is intentional - Blizzard didn't want people to take a specific profession for good gear for their class. All of the professions can make interesting things for any class and most any spec now. This also ties into the boe thing - means you can make the best gear and sell it at a profit, instead of the old case where all the awesome patterns in SSC amounted to nothing gold-wise.

  23. Re:God, please let this be true. on Prescription Handguns For the Elderly and Disabled · · Score: 5, Interesting

    It took awhile, but I eventually figured out why I am not generally in favour of programs against gun ownership. Simply, if I support the rights of individuals to own property for their own reasons and to conduct themselves as they see fit according to their personal morals and philosophies (classical liberalism), then I cannot say that someone cannot own a gun, because my reasoning for that would be "Because you're only going to use it to shoot someone some day." That's inflicting my viewpoint on their life and lifestyle, and I don't have the right to do that. And before you go jumping down my throat, I work for a magazine too leftist for the campus it's on (which in and of itself, is the most left of all Canadian campuses.) Communism? sure. Socialism? Hell yes. Anarchism? Go for it. Anti-gun ownership? No thanks.

  24. Re:Meh on Integrating the Web Into Games · · Score: 1

    unfortunately, since then (that post is two expansion packs ago) paladins in wow have come into their own as viable solo characters. both retribution (since january 2007) and protection (since two months ago) have been far more than seal, judge, white damage, tending more towards the holy lawnmower angle. holy though...yeah, it's still the get-off spec. If you really want to be able to do something other than WoW while playing, pick a frost mage and drop a rock on your frostbolt key.
