As always, we are talking about those who show these traits beyond the norm.

So typical the american government/courts to admit shit they have no understanding what so ever about. This is what happens when you bring in morons to make decisions above their competence after some agenda-driven jerk has spewed bullshit over them for hours.

So true.

Surrender your mysteries to Zoidberg!

Oh no! Professor will hit me!
...but if Zoidberg fixes it, then perhaps gifts?

You just have to love the lobster's brilliant reasoning!

There are at least two reasons this shouldn't be possible.

1) Firearms (or knives for that matter) should never be reachable by children. If you don't keep your arms locked up and the key hidden (where your children cannot reach), you are incredibly reckless.

2) A 3-year-old is way to young to play whatever game using a gun as a controller.

I somehow find it ironic to find one of you allergics on /. of all places.

Now, as tinnitus is typically caused by trauma in young people and age related hearing loss in elderly people, I find your statement very hard to believe, as it would mean this allergy is something you can 'catch'.

Best fitting explaination is still that this is a psychological condition. That however, doesn't make it any less of a problem for those affected.

Indeed. Tethering is possible with an iPhone in its original state in most countries in the world.

This seems like yet another case where the USA and the world got mixed up.

If my wife has pants, does that make her a man?
And furthermore, does that make me a homosexual?

If so, does it work the other way around as well?
Would a man dressed in womens' clothing qualify as a woman?
Would that in turn make gay couples were one part dress in womens' clothing heterosexual?

Sigh, if only Douglas Adams were still around to sort out the logic behind all this...

No, no, no. There are plenty of people without high speed connections, you obviously live in, or in the vicinity of a city. (In a country with an Internet infrastructure not consisting of snails and mud.) Many people in many countries have crappy DSL-connections at best. Many still connect through dial up-modem. (I know this is hard to believe for someone born on the Internet through a 1000 Mbit connection.)

This gives, as many has already pointed out, a situation where you could have 8 guys connected to a 1000/100 Mbit switch. Lovely, no problems at all.

Or, the same 8 guys, with 8 great modern computers could be connected through that same 1000 Mbit switch, but then linked to battle.net through a 8 Mbit down/1 Mbit up connection! This is nothing short of madness.

Some of the best LAN-parties I've ever been to has been in cabins in the coutryside. It's peaceful, we disturb no one and no one disturb us. Obviously, Blizzard think we're better off playing something else nowadays.

To throw out LAN-support as of 2009 is not just a mistake, it's a god damn disgrace to the gaming industry.
