Seemingly this game is what happens when trolls actually participate in the community.

No, you've just stumbled onto a community of trolls. I've been playing the closed beta since early last year, and while I give mad props to the developers for supporting Linux (even 64-bit!), I don't feel motivated to buy the game. HoN isn't fun unless I'm playing an in-house game with people I know, because the rest of the HoN community is too worried about their precious e-peens.

Except that "updates coming automatically these days" can itself be a serious timesink for your sysadmin, as he has to check every patch that's automatically downloaded to make sure it's not going to BSoD someone's box. It's easy to say "Oh, updates are automatic" when it just applies to your computer at home, but when any computer going down in any office across a large business is your problem, a crash caused by a single automatically applied patch can have a massive effect on your workload.

I know the countries you speak of, and if you look at policies passed / proposed in the past year, you'll find that Obama has emulated them wonderfully.

So what you're saying is, "THIS LOOKS LEFTIST. I CAN TELL FROM SOME OF THE LAWS AND FROM SEEING QUITE A FEW LEFTISTS IN MY TIME." Got it.

Comment Local News == FUD (Score 1) 396

I can't watch local news anymore. I'm tired of hearing about the next plaything that might kill my baby or the poison I've been drinking out of my tap for the past 20 years. Every story is designed to get me worried about something new, and I've already got plenty to worry about as it is.

To be fair, WoW does allow Dual Talent Specs. There's a world of difference between how you'll gear/play your Paladin if you spec for both Holy & Protection or Retribution. I've heard of Holy Paladins in cloth for better Spirit & Intellect bonuses.

Except that doesn't really change the dynamics of the class, so much as the regen/damage effects that class has. You're not re-specing into a rogue or re-specing into a warlock, you're just becoming a slightly different type of Paladin.
