I have bought like 3 different copies of the first game. BECAUSE IT'S LAN READY!!!
It's one of the ONLY games that still sells DECADES after it's been released BECAUSE of it's LAN popularity.
And now Blizzard is taking that away?
What if you don't have the best bandwidth and you just want to play a bunch of your friends in the same room???
WHY?
This is the worst decision since limited installs DRM.
This is NOT going to effect pirates AT ALL. Just like limited installs didn't effect pirated copies. Blizzard is just punishing it's customers for no reason.
GEEZE. I was so looking forward to getting two copies of this game to set up for the video game tournament.
Now?
Well it looks like I have no reason to get ANY copies of this game.

Jeffererson Bible prompts fascinating debate.
Amazing really.
The bible is such an interesting collection of books. It's sad that "true believers" in this country really don't know that much about it and atheist minded people dismiss it out of hand.
The Jefferson Bible book prompted some interesting mini-debates in Digg.
http://digg.com/educational/Jefferson_Bible_reveals_Founding_Father_s_view_of_God_faith
The "Jefferson Bible" is basically a bible that he cut up and pasted together again omitting the miracles and keeping the moral lessons (he was a Deist).
That prompted this comment:
"I wonder if he included Revelation 22:19: "And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.""
That in turn prompted the following comments:
"Too bad plenty of words have already been taken away due to multiple translations."
"This passage refers to the book of Revelation. Revelation was written in 96 AD, while the Council of Nicaea put the Canon (the Bible) together in 325 AD. The writer of Revelation had no clue that his letter would be included in the Canon (or that there would even be a Canonizing) , and therefore was not referring to the rest of the Bible."
"You guys beat me to it but you are correct - that passage refers ONLY to the Book of Revelations. The New Testament itself is a collection of writings by different authors selected by a counsel of religious elders (not God). The Bible in essence is basically like a "Reader's Digest" of early Christian writings, prophesies and gospels that were deemed to be divinely inspired by the elders of the early Church."
Lol at the Bible being called a "Readers Digest" because honestly that's pretty much what it is.
Someone else tried to pull out another quote pertaining to not changing the Bible which others noted was clearly aimed at Moses and the Ten Commandments not the Bible which was put together a good deal later.
...it's somewhat sad how some people view the Bible. It's NOT the actual physical word of God. It's something HUMAN BEINGS actually wrote down. And Human Beings can easily twist things around for their own benefit and make mistakes. Especially when you consider how many changes and translations that book has gone through.
Do we really want to miss out on the real moral messages of the book though?
Jefferson tried to make sense of the thing in his own way and edited it. Nowadays, people recoil from that because they put the value of a physical book over the ACTUAL IDEAS that are in that book. The vast majority of ignorant people in the USA who say they cling to traditional values of this country and religion know very little about the founders of this country and the book they worship as the divine truth.
Isn't that sad?
Isn't that a huge step back?

Nikola Telsa
What a guy.
http://www.cracked.com/funny-284-nikola-tesla/
It pisses me off we all learn about that hack Edison. It's pretty much because Edison was good at self promotion, marketing and such (including copyrighting stuff). Telsa definitely contributed more to society.
Telsa came up with Alternating Current! He is the reason you are able to power your computer and read this!
Plus he might have built a death ray...
All this and he was celibate to boot!
