um... treating us well? We've only been waiting what, 6 years? Its not like an HTML based replacement was standardized and implemented across all browsers in roughly the same time... oh wait, that's not true either.

I don't even want flash installed on my browsers now. Its the land of ads and malware and battery drain. no thank you.

Submitter also doesn't seem to realise .NET isn't a language, it's a platform (more akin to an API than a language), and you can code for .NET using many different languages, and you can't code "in .NET", since there isn't such a language. I presume he made the common beginner mistake of conflating "C#" with ".NET", and I'll infer he meant C#.

I've deliberately omitted .NET — I have no desire to do the Microsoft languages.

They said languages. The bundling of .NET is a bit confusing but not entirely incorrect.

Also, there are plenty of options of languages and job markets that excluding .NET doesn't seem as poor a career decision as everyone is making it out to be.

Runaway Mobility Scooter Carries Off Woman 2

87-year-old Eileen Bishop was saved from a scooter kidnapping by police when they managed to stop her mobility device 5 miles from her home. Eileen and her husband were on their way to church when the scooter sped off with her. Her husband said said the scooter, which "hadn't been going that well," was set to three-quarters speed. "Suddenly she passed me at full tilt," Mr Bishop said. "I shouted after her but she is a bit deaf. I couldn't chase her as I've had a triple heart bypass. She just disappeared off the radar." Officers found Mrs Bishop after a motorist reported a mobility scooter "swerving" across the road near Pendown Cross, five miles away. The scooter was taken into custody but had no comment.

You know... this sounds strangely familiar. Oh, that's right. Its the same comments heard last time this happened. I hold no illusions about Blizzard anymore. They have long since stopped being the lovable Blizzard North of my youth. In fact, I probably just didn't see it back then.

Blizzard is a company. They're job is to make money. Its not to make you happy. I should be clear as to what I mean by "you". You, a linux user, are such a small portion of their market that they could completely alienate you and they would still be billionaires at the end of the day. If it makes their margins a little smaller because they don't have to spend as much employee time looking at possible cheating attempts then why would they? They are trying to make money.

Thanks the breaks, when I finally get banned I'm not going to dual boot or complain or whine. I'm just going to make a post somewhere documenting I've joined the masses of banned linux WoW players and move on to a better game. It wasn't worth it in the first place.
