They are a deterrent. But should not be the only deterrent or last hope for us all. There are things called U.S. Marshalls. And bounty hunters. etc... We can track people down and arrest them in safer situations.
Sounds more like these cops may have wanted to be a big hero catching the gangers in the middle of something and jumped their guns.
Also don't we live in a surveillance state yet? There should be no need to chase when you can just be waiting at their run down shack in the slum.
P.S. I'm not judging the perps. Though by killing an innocent bystander through negligence they are no better than the purported force mongers. I say put em all in the same cell together.
I think I can safely assert that the printing of money is definitely not in my hands. Not that I think it should be. But hey... someone else obviously is in control and knows how much money we all exactly need =)
*super sarcasm alert.
By the way it seems like the monetary systems everyone is using are inherently flawed. We aught to think about a better system.
This is a good start towards something new. I been thinking of something like this for a mars rover.
All I see is people complaining why can't the reach people do it themselves.
Well my response to that is, maybe they want to stay rich. Because if your not rich in this country you are a godamn slave.
But that does not lessen the fact that this is the right step towards doing off planet exploration without the government muddling things up. Opening it up to everyone not just the elite top graduates of select universities and pedigrees.
I think we have the science and technology to figure it out to some degree. It would require a bit of engineering and a lot of investment. And possibly a few governments working together. As well as marine biologists, engineers, and probably some types of scientists.
But I think on a scale of 0 to 1, its closer to 1 =)
The Luclin models were outsourced out of the country. it was one of the first big mistakes SoE made. And they were extremely poly in-efficient compared to what they needed to be. Not to mention the animation was shoddy. They could have updated the models to a 2 x higher poly count and went with the same art styles. And they would have been a big hit.
You mean they spent 11 years drinking beer and thinking about it waiting for the skill and technology to develop to execute in one year... while they probably played table top wargames.
Oh and I helped run a small hosted qmail server. And if the feds, or anyone came near our rack and touched our stuff without some kind of official anything. We would have shit bricks. No one would have touched our servers without our permission. They would have had to most likely take them via the threat of force. The hosting company had access cards, biometrics, and 24/7 surveillance. If they asked us we would have told them to come back with a court order.
Though we never did anything that interesting except host a few spam protected accounts for websites we hosted. That was all back in ~2005 or so maybe.
Deterring local law enforcement or investigative agencies from browsing through an old email cash from 180 days ago to decide if someone is a good target for investigation for whatever reason is good. Setting a precedent that the government needs to ask before looking, even where it is pretty visible is good. It sets protocols. Bored cops cant just browse up the local mail server now. It is a bit of a deterrent to invasion of privacy. If they do they have to at least answer as to why they did not get a warrant. Of course they can still pursue a warrant later after breaking protocol. But hopefully some of this is all logged.
Of course the feds still explicitly have access to all that stuff...
I consider this good news overall. The next step is educating our law enforcement people and investigative agencies about the importance of privacy and the shit that all sys admins sort of get taught about not snooping around user accounts. Or at least when I had access to every system. I had protocols to follow about that.
Cool I didn't ever dabble with Runescape. Glad to know my idea is not completely unfounded =)
I was a die hard EQ player. Which updated from Directx6 to 8 with Luclin. And had a big client side UI update with Velious. Nobody much liked the Luclin content. But I think almost everyone universally liked the upgrades to the client.
And the Shadows of Faydwer client was another big re-write which was popular. So I think that might be where I got the idea in the back of my head =)
Sort of but not really. They should have focused on making AC2 as much like AC1 as possible. But updating the game engine and playability with better UI design. Like doing things they would have in hindsight if they weren't locked into the feature set that AC1 had only.
So the point I disagree on is having to have the same engine and client. If they can release content semi-annually. They can upgrade the engine and code semi-annually too. Beyond patches, or widget like features.
No MMO has done that though.
Though WoW could maybe use a core rewrite. The assets are not bad looking still. For the audience in question.
But the people who liked MMO's are done with them. The new generation is not inspired by last generations toy. I think we should give MMO's a rest for awhile as a species.
The next big thing will be a SIMULATION. That is multiuser. And user generated.
Telephones are a carrier though. Facebook is more like a separate messaging service on that carrier were you can leave messages for someone. But I see your point. I'm not trying to argue. Just provide a different perspective.
So if the phones are the telegraph. The telegraph office is sub leased to Facebook. It's the company storing messages... but why expect that company to know whats on the message.
Meh that line of reasoning takes me away from thinking Facebook is the problem. The problem is clearly not on Facebooks end. Reading through this thread the people who should have criminal charges are the kids who video taped the girl without her consent. And the parents for letting the whole thing happen. Providing the kids technology without teaching them the ramifications of using that technology. At that age. Those kids should have known better. I did when I was 13.
And the girl. Who sadly did not have the interpersonal skills needed to deal with the situation. I blame her parents for that too. Though she may have been handicapped. But I highly doubt that.
I was one of those kids who needed a lot of extra care taken to help me interact with other kids in a nice way. So I don't blame the kid. I blame their guardians. Mentors, and teachers.
Would this be an issue if this video was posted up on times square? I think so. The only difference being facebook is a tad more private than a public broadcast. But I'm interested to hear peoples opinions none-the-less.
Honestly I can to some degree respect that. I think there are vastly more people who would appreciate him and his art on the level your illustrating than a few rich folk. But I can respect wanting to keep it private as well.
Interesting. I figured that some jurisdictions were lax in this regard. Like the Mexican border. Not advocating anything. I personally wouldn't take the risk of ending up in a volcanic vent where theres going to be very little evidence.
But maybe. Depends. I would probably call the guy and ask nicely. Or send him a nice letter first. Before making assumptions about him. Plus the idea of doing day labor at the "sight" is even easier and more straight forward.

Except here the shit is not a health hazard. No one forces you to read speech. You can stop at the first sign of "rectum".

Than in the case of good laws and freedom. The bystanders will be able to protect themselves just fine without the police.

Bah lol nvm my earlier post I read star craft 1.

Email is a bad technology for privacy.

Yeah that is a bad idea.
In December 2007, Activision announced that the company and its assets would merge with fellow games developer and publisher, Vivendi Games.
Well they were thinking of it as far back as 2007. But that doesn't mean the boat was rocking hard back then either. And that's still not a decade =)
You are right. I thought it was earlier. I never bothered to look up the dates. And thanks for the correction.
Cool I didn't ever dabble with Runescape. Glad to know my idea is not completely unfounded =)

You mean Vivendi-Activision. Blizzard died a decade ago. It just took awhile to shake loose the last good employees they had.

Blizzard did not. But it was released and went silently into the night without much fanfare.
