The fact that a group of players and greedy lawyers think they can scam Blizzard with this frivolous lawsuit about account security is hilarious almost to the point of absurdity. It’s like suing the police department because someone broke into your house. It is the responsibility of the PC owner to secure their computer and account. Blizzard cannot, and does not, force people to purchase an authenticator (which they sell at a loss, by the way), they simply encourage their use to help further protect your account.
The ignorance of people these days is infuriating and I love Blizzard’s response to the allegations:
“This suit is without merit and filled with patently false information, and we will vigorously defend ourselves through the appropriate legal channels.”
I think that’s legalese for “you’re stupid for even suggesting that this is our fault!” – I heartily agree. I haven’t seen where any of the names of the accusing parties have been given, obviously because they will be ridiculed to the end of their days by anyone with an IQ larger then their shoe size.
Come on people, there are better ways to make money. Try getting an actual job, that seems to be working out well for me.
I had this post ready in my head regardless of the outcome of the election. Both Barack Obama and Mitt Romney fought a very valiant campaign. In fact I’d say they were more cordial about their taunts at each other then most of the people on social media. Crass name calling and belligerent comments will only make enemies and will not rally others for your cause. We, as Americans, need to grow the hell up.
I am so frakking tried of all the political commercials and the party bashing. I don’t care what side of the fence you sit on, what is the damn point of the merciless verbal bashing of the other party or supporters of the other party. I’m glad that I have DVR because every other commercial is a political slander ad. I don’t even turn live TV on anymore and I won’t until November 7th when I know that I will be free of all the frakking ads.
Eleven years ago today I was at Purdue. When the first tower was hit, I was asleep but the alarm had gone off and the radio station was reporting the events. I was very confused in my half-awake state. I walked out and turned the TV on just in time to see the second plane hit the second tower. I couldn’t believe what I was watching. It was so surreal I tried to make myself believe that I was watching an excerpt from a movie. I remember wishing that it wasn’t real.
Its unfortunate that tragedy has to strike to unite the country. Here we are, less then 60 days until the 2012 Presidential Election and still both parties are spending more time trying to tear the other guy down. Instead they should be telling the American people what they are going to do to continue to make our country great and how to keep us all safe so this kind of thing doesn’t happen again. The American people should choose based on what the candidate stands for, not how much they insulted their opponent.
Since I received a laptop at work with an SSD (Solid State Drive), I have been considering the investment to install one in my home PC. I know that SSDs do not come cheaply so my conundrum is whether the investment is worth the return. I would be installing the SSD on my Quad-Core Windows 7 computer with 8 gig of RAM which I primarily use for gaming. I think the most noticeable improvement will be my boot time, currently it takes my computer nearly 5 minutes to boot (from clicking OK to logout, to fully logged in and loaded). It’s extremely annoying especially considering the tumultuous behavior of every version of Windows (ever!).
