    Also, it generally takes less than a minute to run back to your corpse so you are exaggerating in your example. It really isn't that big of a deal.

    Blizzard added new graveyards recently. It's under a minute in most cases.

    Way to miss the bloody point... Deliverer of Wedgie is to WoW Killer as Recipient of Wedgie is to WoW Victim.

    You didn't do very well on the standardized tests, did you?

    I think you're missing my point. You can't escape a wedgie, but you can turn off the game and do something productive if someone is ganking on in WoW.

    How were your reading comprehension scores?

    I dunno, as an admitted griefer, you're still someone I'd hope that Blizzard bans from the game entirely.

    And you're an example of why I keep doing it. Thanks for fueling my ambition.

    Personally, I LOATHE corpse runs like you mention

    If the one being camped (for more than a few kills), this is the time that you contact your fellow guild mates and reverse the camping situation.

    Or you just turn off the game and go do something else. That usually is what I do.

    Wedgies in high school had zero penalties. Why don't you pay me $15 a month and I'll come over and give you one for old times sake.

    It actually did. The person doing it would get in trouble with the school. You're comparing apples to oranges, sir.

    Who do you think posts all those goatse links?

    No, you see, that's how you get banned. The trick is to just troll and to slowly get close to the line of being suspended from the game or forums without crossing it.

    Having just pay-for-play sets a threshold. You'll still have annoying players, but not as many. I'd want a "Play at +1, ignore Anonymous Cowards" option for the "VIP" (for-pay) accounts.

    I'm a dick to people in WoW only because it's the last fun thing to do. Raiding? PVP? I'd rather just grief. Even with pay-to-play, you spend your $15 a month to play how you want, I spend mine to camp people, troll the realm forums, and do old content with friends.

    I, of course, do not ninja loot like some people or interfere with a guilds progression. That's where I draw the line.

    Well, in the Philly area, it's obviously illegal to use your turn signals unless you are *not* making a turn or changing lanes.

    It's also illegal to start driving the second that the crossing lane of traffic gets a red light before your light turns green, but it happens all the time in Port Richmond.

    On top of that it WASN'T free. There were advertisements which helped pay for it, and I was happy to view just to support them. You couldn't save the content to your hard drive directly from the site. I'm sure there are ways, though.

    On my Dad's computer the only way I got him to use Firefox was by deleting all icons to IE. The only way to run it at this point was by Start>Run iexplore.

    I don't understand. Was your dad unhappy with Internet Explorer? Why were you forcing one option on him over another. I don't care what technology it is, I make sure I give the user what they want. I biggest pet peeve is when an "IT" guy will come in and change someones desktop to meet the "IT" guy's need and not the users.

    This was before IE8 came out. Firefox 3 + Adblock+, along with the immunuzed system from Spybot will save me the trouble of having to clean his computer of virus' and spyware every few months.

    If you work in IT, it's difficult not to care about Windows when it's 90% of the market.

    Before people pounce on him like the lynchmob this website is, it's rarely the people in IT who want to stay with windows. It's almost always the PHB or CEO who has been sold on it because he went to a big conference and they had a Windows 7 booth that gave him a free light up pen. I want to move to Linux in the company I work for, but people in the various departments will always drag their feet and be resistant to it.

    B. Will this conflict with school policy? Ideally, the phone will be in silent mode during the school day, and my son will have enough discipline to not get himself in trouble with it, and have it confiscated as a result.

    Most school policies ban all cellphones. You're supposed to keep them in your locker, which I wouldn't do. I had a smartphone as a part of my internship from High School, I wasn't going to risk losing or getting it stolen. I kept it in my pocket at all times on silent, not even vibrate. I never had any problems. I would only take it out to check the time, nothing more.
