The Supreme Court of the United States, the highest federal court in the country, doesn't have the jurisdiction to challenge the NSA? What kind of bullshit is that?

I think you missed the point. They're not saying doing things at the bleeding edge today is easier than the bleeding edge yesterday, they're saying doing the things bleeding edge yesterday are easier today.

Not me. I've been very proactive about avoiding G+ (not on privacy grounds primarily but because I have no interest in having pointless social network profiles floating around). My youtube account isn't associated with a G+ account at all.

Maybe it's because my Google account is essentially tied to their domain services and I have all G+ stuff disabled on their dashboard. Trying to go to G+ at all presents me with a nice "Google+ is not available for your organization" message.

Don't be upset because a multiboxer killed you in a battleground 5 to 1. He's not referring to stomping on individual players in a battlegrounds when he talks about challenge.

Your example isn't really relevant here. The things being botted in Wow are akin to simply moving all your pawns forward and taking any pieces you can happen to take in the process. Wow bots do not play even close to "half-way well." Wow bots brute force the absolute easiest parts of the game with minor or no combat in the most inefficient manner possible for marginal gain because that's all they're good for. There exists no wow bots that can play like a player could, and there likely never will due to the complexity involved in such a task and no one willing to work it out.

I really hate this mentality. An account I had since the game launched became very loosely associated with botters a few months back (I was buying large quantities of herbs for a discount from someone who could have been a botter) and my account was permanently banned a couple weeks later for being associated with botting accounts. There were no blemishes on my account prior, but Blizzard didn't want my money enough to keep my account alive.

Clearly they do ban users for being in the botting scene (and apparently even those who buy unspecified quantities of materials from bots knowingly or not [guess we're just supposed to know deals are too good to be true or not, even though in retrospect I don't think the deal was that great at all])

The email they sent me sounded like a joke, at first, or a poor phishing attempt, because it basically seemed to allude to the idea that I didn't personally do anything wrong, but because I was, quote, "associated with World of Warcraft licenses that were closed for participating in exploitative activities", I was a threat that had to be put down as well. At the end they state "Engaging in or associating with exploitative activity violates the World of Warcraft Terms of Use." which means they can and will ban people who simply buy things from bots. I guess I just bought enough herbs from one that finally tripped Blizzard's threshold on my reasonable disbelief that the person wasn't a botter.

Whatever the case, I no longer have an account I had for 9 years and have spent a great deal of money on the service and supplemental services. If they didn't care about losing my business, I really doubt they care about losing others.

There was even a "<3" at the very end.

They sound like sociopaths to me. Not a kid coping with what happened.

Just make sure you don't pick those frogs that can switch genders.

Only..?

27? What part of my comment got your panties in a twist, there?

I made no such implication. I merely called him out very specifically on an untruthful argument he made. Even if you want to make the argument that he has been conditioned not to even try checking in the first place, that really is just a cop out. It's not as though AMC actually released them all under cloak and dagger. Their online availability had been alluded to a number of times during the shows progression.

Your bullshit is readily apparent here. Breaking Bad was sold per episode and season online almost instantly after initial broadcast. You probably didn't even look before you whipped out your favorite torrent site. Not surprising at all, really.

So you ask a really dumb question in the subject and then you preface the message by listing basically all the things that people traditionally use the service for as something you don't care about.

Why do people do that? It's great you have no use for the service but your needs are not the needs of everyone.

People still use barbers? Don't care about fancy shampoos and conditioners. Don't care about different hairstyles. Cut my own hair in front of the mirror. At that point, barbers very quickly become pointless... etc.

Streams found through Google are rarely worth the trouble of watching. Most don't even have the decency to be any higher than 360p. It's gross.

No kidding. The boxes Time Warner gives its customers are the purest grade of crap. They can barely handle their own OSD without the damn things overheating and lagging to hell.
