There is no way this is true that you will get a ticket for going the speed limit. Do you have some source for this? Everything I see says the opposite but can't find a great source.

“A vehicle driving in the left lane of a multi-lane highway slower than other traffic, but at the speed limit, is not in violation of the law,” says Erin Komatsubara, a public information officer for the CHP. Vehicles passing on the right of a left-lane driver who is at the speed limit would be violating the speed limit, Komatsubara says.

I think a big part that people overlook when talking about the simplification of WoW, is that WoW was always going for the simplification of MMOs. If you look back what pre-dated WoW (EQ, DAoC, UO), WoW took the basic game and simplified and polished it dramatically, big EQ fans complained back then that WoW was dumbing down the MMO genre which arguably they did. The trend of gaming in general wanted less time sinks and greater accessibility. WoW didn't only recently start "catering to the casuals" That's been their MO since day 1 vanilla.

Comment Re:Mythbusters show just how impaired you are at . (Score 5, Insightful) 996

You mean the same episode where it showed being tired or distracted by cell phones or anything else were actually significantly more impairing than the alcohol?
I don't think we should get rid of drunk driving laws by any stretch of the imagination. However, there are already plenty of distracted/reckless driver laws that exist. I just don't see the a need to create specific laws for every single possible way someone can increase their danger while driving.

Good luck using that character editor on a Battle.net character. Having built in character respecs is needed. 3rd party hacking tools don't cut it. I do hear this has actually changed in a recent D2 patch, but I havn't played in a good 2 years myself.

Yes, you will still be able to plan with your friends on the same LAN network as long as it is routed to the internet. The packets will most likely be routed through BNet servers over a custom game. Just like you could do in D2. The only thing that is gone will be a no true LAN game where the connection doesn't authenticate and route over the internet to a BNet server.

I have had this problem as well. I have found a work around and have never had any problems with my shortcuts after doing so.

Put the application you want to run as a shortcut in the start menu somewhere (doesn't matter where) and setup your keyboard shortcut from there.

Good luck.
