iollow: Tarrick: Perhaps he could have worded it better. If you made it square in such a fashion that each side of the cover is larger than the diagonal of the hole it covers, then the size of the cover would be unnecessarily large.

Right, a circle is the most efficient cover, in terms of how much of the cover is sitting on the lip.

You're thinking in two dimensions. It only needs a lip thicker than the width of the cover. Man hole covers are round primarily because they always have been. Most likely because it was more convenient to measure and cut a round hole than make a square cover fit perfectly.

iollow: Incidentally, you CAN create a square man-hole cover that cannot fall into its own hole. You simply make each side bigger than the diagonal of the lip that it sits on. Even round covers are bigger than the holes they cover.

quick, how much smaller would it HAVE to be?
turns out, that it is QUITE a difference, which is why "most" are round
not exactly sure the electric company uses square ones.
maybe to get equipment in and out of the "pit"

and this saves on costs
largest opening, with least amount of cover

I bet this guy has to carry a stick around just to beat the hoes off of him.

HarpuaMM: WoW what an idiot

Came to say this. Thanks.

Gyrfalcon: Since 9/11, tolerances are very very low about people saying they're going to hijack planes; it may not be right, but it's how things are

nah, it is the right level
"FIRE!" in a crowded theater? BOOM, jail for you
"I got a gub and I am going to rob this bank!" BOOM, jail for you
"I got a boom, or PLANNING on hijacking a plane" ....

plus, someone reported him to BLIZZ
blizz took a quick look and said, farking calling the cops
IMAGINE the PR and LAWSUITS, if it was a REAL threat, and he killed people??

look at columbine and 9/11

plus, and this is the VERY VERY best part, one less FARKTARD in trade chat !!!!
WOOOT

Mr Guy: You're thinking in two dimensions. It only needs a lip thicker than the width of the cover. Man hole covers are round primarily because they always have been. Most likely because it was more convenient to measure and cut a round hole than make a square cover fit perfectly.

you are not thinking like a teenage boy on a hot summer night, who thinks it is funny to dump all the square covers into the sewers

/think of all the cars with broken axles

I am going to blow up a plane next week wh . . . . hold on someone is at the door.

Meesterjojo is quitting, whisper for free gold!

You know, both Newton's and Einstein's gravitational equations are just theories. Maybe this guy should put them to the test. There are plenty of unguarded ledges around the Grand Canyon for him to jump off.

I'll even buy him the accelerometer. Heck, he could test aerodynamic theory as well vis-a-vis teminal velocity. What a bonus for science!

FFS, I live in Greenwood! Why do all Hoosier stories have to involve some slack-jawwed, booger eatin moron? Wait, I think I just answered that. Nevermind.

OMG NO WAI i was just reading about this on the wow forums, but everyone thought the linked source was a keylogger so we were all like wtf ever noob.

wow.

Dude was probably mad i lobbed 3 straight 10k crits in a row at his head.. I is destro lock, let me melt your face.

valar_morghulis: HAHA, how much you want to bet that it was a Night Elf Druid or Hunter?

Stupid Alliance, always with your wars of aggression.

hey hey! not all alliance are bad. some of us are just in disguise waiting til the faction transfers.

I guess the FBI didn't realize how useful WoW could be for terrorist communication. Maybe we should shut down all servers for our own safety.

Note: 18 year old kids are stupid.
They don't think they are, but they're stupid.

thomps: stupid n00b authorities don't even know that "blowing up an airliner" is l33t speak for shiatting out 3 straight meals of cheetos and surge after a particularly long raid.

He should have just blamed the botting program he was running.

You wanted to test your theory with an experiment, kid; now shut up and collect your damn data.

Shakespeare's Monkey: So if I actually pay the 18,000 gold for a Traveling Mammoth, how much of a dork does that make me?

It doesn't matter if you buy it or not. Just asking the question means that you have maximized your Dork Quotient.

I don't know what's more retarded, the feds actually V& a guy for spewing bullshiat on farking WoW of all places, or the fact that the guy thought it was a good idea.

Plenty of fail all around.

The Indy Star newspaper went on you identify him as one "Leeroy Jenkins".



/seriously, not one mention of Leeroy Jenkins? Man, Fark is just......different lately....

so, i just today got my rogue to 80. after reading this thread, i'm seriously rethinking how i spend my time....

so once they have faction transfers, are we getting all the farkers to transfer to one server and one faction?
or will we have to split the libtards and goptards by faction

/darkiron alliance
/plus, serious, faction transfers? doesnt that spell the END of alliance and pvp servers??

I'm glad. I like that WoW is so controlled that someone talking about something stupid like this will be caught. WoW's a fun place, I don't want it used for wrong.

And For the Alliance

/see profile for my main.

Wow. After skimming this thread, I don't feel so bad that I started playing this game again.
I'm a huntard, though. At least it's not a DK, right? Right?

Leprechron: I guess the FBI didn't realize how useful WoW could be for terrorist communication. Maybe we should shut down all servers for our own safety.

The massive amounts of nerdrage that would come from that would spark something nasty...or at the very least, a million man march of some sort.

ranak: LFG H Flt 1934 out of Dallas. PST. No DK's.

I LOL'd

He was probably Alliance.

/Horde FTW.

reading that email further up the page actually made me cancel my WoW account on the spot.

vertiaset: Hey kiddies. Here is a public service announcement. You are NOT anonymous on the internet. Just ask that channer who hacked Palin's email and got indicted. Proxies can be traced. Also, you are responsible for your actions.

That is all.

It didn't help that he didn't use Tor at all (or any other anon proxy) and advertised the password as "popcorn", when he's the son of a famous Senator KERNEL.

You can be anonymous. You can prevent from being caught. Easily. You just need to scramble your MAC, use a public WiFi, and hop on an anon proxy or two. If your proxy is in China, it's not like the US can do jack about it, right?

3 80s (1 is pretty much BiS from the Naxx days, others are decent)...and then ::thinks:: 7 alts 67 or higher...

And two multiboxing teams...3 on 1, 5 on another

And I haven't actually signed in in almost a week...work's been a little hellacious lately...

namatad: valar_morghulis: Night Elf Druid

night elf druid is redundant
just saying

How so?

Night Elves can play classes other than druid, and druids can be played by races other than Night Elves (Tauren).


/I need fresh air

Sadly I just started playing again a week ago after a years absence.

I forgot that WoW GMs do not tolerate racial slurs very well....I deserve more than 2 warnings.

justtray: A little more elaborate than a "thoughtcrime" I would say. He specified a city and a time... You're not allowed to cry fire in a crowded theater either.

God I hate it when dumb people misuse the "fire in a crowded theater" line. Was the guy on a plane when he said his piece? No? Then it wasn't an "imminent threat". The proper solution: check to see if the dude has bought a plane ticket, if not he is blowing smoke. If he has a ticket pull him aside for "random special screening", if he has no bomb or stabby thing have the air marshal watch him.

In a free society people can say stupid shiat and not get intimidated by the powers that be. The fact that some of you think this waste of tax dollars is OK means the public education system has succeeded in devaluing freedom as an end in itself.

Wait, was it Popcorn Mariachi who hacked Palin? I really liked that guy. He could identify the inside of a vagina from thirty paces blindfolded, and his collection was magnificent.
