Just imagine the "ammo" this would give anti-game violence arguments. They shot civilians in game to practice shooting civilians in real life!

I can't believe I'm actually posting on a WoW thread :P but have you actually tanked or healed seriously before? My main was a warlock way back in the day (vanilla WoW) and I played as a priest/warrior/druid in BC (main tanked 20 man raids, healed 20 man raids, solo healed a couple runs of karazhan for fun:) and while you are right about being "judged" almost solely on your DPS.. that is because your task is so much easier that all you have to do is damage the right target as much as you can without pulling aggro. Also, if you think tanks don't take shit from healers for not mitigating enough damage or not building enough off-target threat to keep every mob's attention then you're just in the dark.

Do minorities get better internet access? Balls.

I don't know what up-converting a DVD has to do with frame rate, but those 120/240hz features on TVs do it by "faking" frames and I think that is why they appear unnatural. I haven't seen anything professionally produced at a higher frame rate but hold out hope that it will actually look good. It will definitely take some getting used to, though.

Hey guys, PopeRatzo is right. I mean, come on. Yeah, come on!

I wonder.. did you go to Iowa State, or is that a common thing for universities to do, or is it a common rumor students make up to excuse their guilt for walking on and destroying the grass? :)

Your first clue is that you refer to them as "users" :)

You mean you're a QUALITY ENGINEER, right? This comment brought to you by Caps Lock!

ActionScript isn't like JavaScript? They are both based on ECMA Script, they are very similar as languages.

I've (unfortunately) written a lot of both and they are extremely similar to each other. Yes, there are a lot of features inside that bloated Flash runtime, but that doesn't mean ActionScript is not like JavaScript.

The answer is because the only time their Android phone nags them is when their is a new update to install.

Perhaps for computers that are shipped as appliances and use a web app to configure them. The company I work for does touchscreen kiosks that run Windows and would probably be interested in turning that ability on. That is a slim use case, for sure, but a valid one :)

I thought it seemed pretty obvious that it was a bluff. The lecture was pretty well delivered and I liked it, but he was clearly nervous when he was talking about finding and punishing the cheaters where later he became clearly angry. Anyway, the bluff obviously did its job. Do you think people that would cheat on an exam would have the logical reasoning to know they couldn't be punished based on statistics due to the repercussions of punishing false positives?

I love Mac OS X, but let's be honest. 10.1 to 10.4 they were really just fixing performance from the extremely sluggish beta OS. Since then, I haven't seen much improvement personally, while continuing to buy new hardware. It's not a bad thing - they are adding new features without making the OS feel bogged down by them. Also, much improvement has been seen in the past 6 months on the gaming side of things as well.

No, *you* get off *my* lawn! Do you think SC2 is somehow different than the original in this regard? The game is not simple enough for it to even be possible to make a perfect chain of actions. There is human error and 90% of the player base doesn't care to read about genetic algorithms. In the case that an easy-to-copy build comes up like this 7 roach rush, Blizzard will patch it so roaches take longer to build or move a little slower. You're just getting older and gaming in general can lose its appeal. Games are still fun, don't doubt it ;)

Oh, thank you for explaining that to me. You must be one of the smart people. The whoosh sound is at such a frequency that smart people cannot hear it. ;)
