It's just a shame, because Mists of Pandaria was the best expansion since Burning Crusade, in my opinion.

You may have missed the fact that Warcraft is filled with jokes and RL references.

Most leveling is done solo nowadays in WoW. You will participate in dungeons with other random people, but you'll likely never see those people again in your entire life, so you don't really care. Even while leveling, most players you meet will be from other realms.

Most of the socializing happens at max level, when you play in the high-level zones, organize groups for challenge dungeons or raids, and with your guild, most of which happens at max level.

In fact, it would appear the two aren't independent.

There has been research showing that the same genes are present and active in both geniuses and schizophrenics. There does appear to be some relationship between the two "conditions".

Indeed, what's new in recent research is that "men and women are the same", and that most psychological differences aren't caused by genes and hormones, but cultural differences.

I seriously believe everyone should read "The Brothers Karamazov", that you cannot be a complete human being without reading it.

I also recommend waiting till you're in your twenties before doing so.

You seem to forget that the banks' "insurer" was AIG. And they insured total crap in huge amounts, essentially betting against a collapse of the housing market (collapse which was pretty much assured thanks to the banks' practices). Oh and they also let people "insure" other people's property, giving the banks additional incentive to make their practices worse and WANT a collapse.

I still consider The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time to be the best video game ever created.

People with no job conspire and fail in trying to shave off a few millions out of a bank's billions?

Get arrested, thrown in prison for years.

Work for a bank, conspire and succeed in destroying the global economy and cheat your customers out of trillions of dollars?

Get the government to give you even MORE money.

Not saying these guys here should not have been arrested. But the worst crooks in the story are working inside the bank, not outside.

Indeed, what was it that made those 1400 deaths so much worse than the 100 000 previous ones?

I'll support your suggestion too, I've been installing Zabbix for a lot of my customers, especially since version 2.0 came out it's a really strong product that does everything you could want from a monitoring solution.

Oneof the major issues wit 4.0 was how they switch the video drivers to ring 0 for better performance, but most video drivers in those days were total crap. Things have gotten better.

DLL hell wasn't as bad in 2k and XP and is almost entirely gone now since Vista thanks to SxS.

This is mostly FUD.

Regarding external certificates, most certification agencies (at least those that are members of the https://www.cabforum.org/ have stopped issuing certificates for invalid domain names for any date posterior to November 1st 2015. They put this policy in place on Nov 1st 2012. Any such certificates that might be marked as valid beyond that date will be revoked on October 1st 2016.

Now, there may be a concern with internal certificates for such domains, but that is for the internal policy of businesses to fix in time. It should be easy to implement redirecting policies to new domains for any internal web site or system that could collide with gTLDs before they're actually implemented. It is certainly NOT a serious security concern in my opinion.

You talk as if the "government" was a monolithic entity. Its left hand very often doesn't even know its right hand even EXISTS, much less care what it does. Even worse, it may very well be that they don't want other government employees to patch those systems so they can spy on them, too!
