With blizzards initial money from other games, on top of 50+million a month, they could have legitimate servers that can handle more than 3k per server, and more than 100 people per 'area'
That example has nothing to do with this. That guy murdered her parents, from what I remember, because they wouldn't let him be with their daughter. Censoring the things she does would not have stopped their relationship, nor the subsequent actions that HE and noone else performed, resulting the loss of 2 innocent people.
Words are words, 'worse' words convey stronger meaning. I use the word dumbfuck because, guess what, if you put out all your info and willingly enter situations where you are likely to be molested, assaulted, or raped, note I said WILLINGLY, then you are a dumbfuck. If you can think of a better way to convey the same meaning, please tell me of it.
No, that's not too restrictive, and as long as you're teaching your daughter not to be stupid, then yeah the restrictions aren't bad. But a lot of parents take the hardline approach of restrictions only without any actual effort put in teaching their kids not to be idiots online.
Setting out rules to 'protect' your child from being a dumbfuck, is, in my eyes, censorship. You teach them not to be a moron and post provocative pics or hook up with guys they meet online cause they are gonna get raped, and they won't do it. There's nothing wrong with checking up on her and such and seeing just what it is she's doing, but putting in all sorts of rules and regulations on what can and can't be done just opens up the whole 'she can go to someone elses house and not have any restrictions' problem. You kill the problem at its source and you havea no more worries.
I'm sorry, but straight out censorship is the wrong way to go. You TEACH your children not to be dumbfucks, and you won't need censorship like that. Censorship promotes dumbfuckery as I like to call it, and is a major problem with kids today. If you remove the source, ie, you teach them NOT to be idiots, then you don't need to worry at all.
Yeah man, girls NEVER got murdered before myspace. They NEVER got raped before myspace. They NEVER EVER had sex with older men before myspace. /sarcasm off
Parents need to get on the ball and start doing something about their kids.
You know, things like teaching your daughters: Don't meet up with MEN you don't know. Don't go off with MEN you meet ONLINE using sexually provocative pictures of yourself. Don't fucking put provocative pics up period.
It's obvious these girls parents haven't taught them shit and would rather not do their jobs as PARENTS, the first and foremost of their responsibilities in life.
"3) Licenses for anti-spyware.
4) Licenses for anti-virus."
Ouch.
3) AdAware and Spybot S&D, or any of a variety of other FREE alternatives.
4) Free alternatives like McAfee or Housecall or a variety of others exist as well.
Was so tired when I typed that.
FF7 Advent Children was an AWESOME movie, I've watched it nearly a dozen times with subs and without subs, mainly cause it's a 2 hour action sequence of the utmost quality.
And to everyone talking about watching dubbed anime: Stop watching that shit. Watch the fansubbed version put out by various groups, as american dubbed anime is editted and literally raped to hell and back and for the most part are nothing like their original forms.
FFVII Advent Children > All other movies, fo sho
and
Fansubs ftw, fuck watching dubbed licensed shit, they ruin EVERY anime that gets dubbed in america.
I'm sorry, there's a difference between volunteerily (spelling wrong, but whatever) taking a job for shit pay, and being forced to it. Please stop with the propaganda bullshit.
Geometry Wars is one of the simplest and most fun games I've played. I played it for the first time tonight and played it for hours fighting off my friends from using the 360 cause I got hooked on it so fast. I'd have to say the 360 Arcade is an EXTREMELY good setup, and a very good reason to get a 360 on top of the games you can purchase at the store.
Like another group of people jumping on the litigation train to get some free publicity and maybe some free money for something that's become a mainstay symbol of health/healing in the gaming industry.
I have no problems with any group, don't get me wrong.
What I have a problem with is people who FLAUNT that difference as if it's so fucking important, and then bitch when someone tells them to stfu about it or just gets sick of hearing about it and tells them that. How can people preach for equal rights, then constantly flaunt the fact that they are different so everyone HAS to know about it, even if we don't care?
How am I trolling? Most gays don't bring attention to the fact that they are gay, and therefore noone gives them shit. The majority of gays who are discriminated against BRING IT ON THEMSELVES by constantly flaunting their homosexuality in front of others and making sure everybody knows they are different.
I can't put it any other way.
Minorities, or anyone different from others, need to shut the hell up about their differences. They cry when they are discriminated against, yet flaunt their differences constantly? I'm sorry, but if you flaunt the fact that you are gay, lesbian, transsexual, anything a lot of people find morally wrong, you are asking to get discriminated against and need to stfu when it happens. They bring it on themselves in most cases.
It's pvp is fucking SHITTY.
It's class/level/gearbased, and like.3% of it is based on skill.
The #1 pvp game is/was Asheron's Call, the one skill (player and character skill) based game out there pvp wise. Since Throne of Destiny and the year or 2 leading up to it the game has become shittier and shittier, but it will always be the #1 pvp game to have come out so far. AC:Darktide was the pinnacle of MMORPG Persistant PVP Worlds, and the most dramatic and amazing fights/politics in the genre occurred on that server.
Try watching the final episode of 2nd gig in original japanese. The Tachikoma's Song made me feel so depressed/brought tears to my eyes without me even reading the words, and I know absolutely NO japanese. I doubt if it were sung in english it would as emotional.

Sorry but WOW servers were originally maxed at 3k, and never changed from that max since.
With blizzards initial money from other games, on top of 50+million a month, they could have legitimate servers that can handle more than 3k per server, and more than 100 people per 'area'
Can't wait for Darkfall!http://www.darkfallonline.com/

I live in a small CT town as well. I lived in 2 others before. All 3 had sexual classifieds.
Yeah man, girls NEVER got murdered before myspace. They NEVER got raped before myspace. They NEVER EVER had sex with older men before myspace.
/sarcasm off
Open up a newspaper
Go to the classifieds
Read the ads
You will eventually get to the singles/sexual ads.
Welcome to the real world, enjoy your stay.

The dvd's are like 15 dollars per 10 episodes.
I am not paying upwards of 300 dollars per show.

That's why I know people who made thousands of dollars per month playing MMORPG's and ebaying mass stuff.
