I would like to refine my statement. By transition to PvP. I mean group vs group PvP. PvP where your standing in the entire community matters. Faction based pvp.
WoW does a tiny bit of group pvp. But you cannot "control the entire game world" there's know faction or higher level PvP that matters to people interested in social group dynamics.
*also WoW's community went downhill as the game became easier.
This is actually true, Eve has sucked up a lot of players over time as people transitioned into PvP oriented play. I know several. I use to play EQ, and WoW.
Unemployment + getting kicked out of basement. Or competition in a market full of other free games which are either ad supported or get revenue from microtransactions.
Facebook is the intelligence level of most WoW new players (not old ones), and there's gobs of addictive mind numbing brainwashing games on there to detract from wow. I blame this on their lowering the barrier to entry and learning curve of the game significantly (it still remained somewhat deeper in the latest expansion levels).
And people who would have been in to WoW back in classic when it was moderately challenging and fun have been so thoroughly alienated Blizzard will never sell another game to them again.
I would debate the tactical effectiveness of those short sited methods with you. Yet I'm worried I might get a knock on my door because of such a statement. It is no longer the kind of conversation we can have in public. Maybe for everyones benefit its better that we don't. I can surely agree with that.
What I can say though. Is that, we live in a world where such focus on random destruction and usurpation of a good society is wholly ruinous to our freedom and liberty. We had something great going, it wasn't perfect, it was corrupt and full of its own abuses. We could get it back. But not by exploding each other while bastards who are above the law are making the rules =/ The crazy wesborous could have their state, while the damn jihadies could have theirs. Maybe its an impossible pipe dream and the only end result to human social order is going to be a fascist peacekeeper like society, la Farscape's villains.
Hopefully the slip isn't much further past that. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. My original response which I just do not wish to post is what set me off on my rant.
It would have been cool if they had provided some different modes of display for those bands. One is infrared if I remember. That would be pretty neat to look at. Particularly over the ocean maybe.
A better alternative would be claymores. If he was giving out plans for 3d printing claymores + a separate download for the chemical explosive to fill it with. 3d Printed nukes are a bit in the future =P
Didn't some European countries crack down on nmap for this very reason? Though how you "stop the trade" of open source stuff in a free market... is kind of ironic.
I can assume the bureaucrats decided to shut this down now before it developed into a real industry that would compete with the current arms market.
If they let something like this slide. A generous estimate is that 25 years down the road a large syndicate of weapons designers could be operating out of the U.S.
Now I wonder how this applies to youtube videos on how to forge your own steel knives?
Landsat wasn't meant for high res spying. Its a very functional site. You can even put in Groom, Lake Nm and get something other then a big black square. I found that time lapse interesting =) It shows the facility is still active and there's development in one of the restricted airspace areas south-east ish.
I'm really impressed with how fast it searches to a location. You can pause the play through at any given point.
I don't know the details for you sorry =/ There's a good chance your right. I will tell you that I heard about lasers targeting ballistics from my CO. He could have been bullshitting us. But he was not prone to that kind of behavior =)
Aye, The reason for doing a mission like that would be to test the science. A better target would probably be Pluto or somewhere out in the kuiper belt or Eris. There's lots of interesting questions out there, like why is the ice not as old and crystallized as modern solar system formation models tell us. This could be an error in measurement. But current spacecraft tech can get us there MUCH cheaper and without crazy international issues.
So I doubt we will see a test any time soon =/
Some mention of simulation. We might have the capability to do a fairly rigorous simulation of one though.
I think a spacecraft with enough fuel to park itself in alpha century with a travel speed of.1c is unrealistic. But not impossible.
Ft Bliss USA, they were testing lasers on conventional ballistics. Maybe the program finally completed and this is the end result. But I suspect this can also shoot down ballistics as well.
Interesting. Thanks for sharing =) It's these tidbits that I find most interesting on slashdot. Latvian is a pretty small language if you take it in globally. There are smaller yet. But that requires education and resources. Something a lot of criminals do not wish to spend time on =)

No mention of frogs? =) WoW was 2nd generation degeneration...
Competitive gameplay is the key, but only works for pvp. No modern games post 2005 have this element. WoW did briefly.

I think Star Trek Online grabbed a few as well.

You are correct. And I would weigh this as something good.

HUZZAH!! =)
They were exporting weapons designs.

I was making a retarded joke but it must have been to complex for you to understand =)
That sounds like it. Thanks for the informative response =)
In 2000 and 2001 THEL shot down 28 Katyusha artillery rockets and 5 artillery shells. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tactical_High_Energy_Laser
Is pretty much what he was talking about then.
The I guess I'll have to RTFA about this new one ;p
Some interesting cities to check are probably Salt Lake City UT which grew a lot the last two decades. Maybe Tampa FL as well.
We are indeed a carbon based infestation of the creators home world. But whether thats good or bad is not for me to judge.

Heavily REDACTED Zoomable World Videos of Satellite Imagery For the Last 29 Years
j/k I doubt its been scrubbed considering the source (and potentially the resolution, I didn't RTFA).
Also Landsat is a great program. Being able to get satellite imagery real time from them as a ham radio operator was really cool.
I don't know the details for you sorry =/ There's a good chance your right. I will tell you that I heard about lasers targeting ballistics from my CO. He could have been bullshitting us. But he was not prone to that kind of behavior =)
It makes a nice point defense system at the very least for a critical target.
Aye, The reason for doing a mission like that would be to test the science. A better target would probably be Pluto or somewhere out in the kuiper belt or Eris. There's lots of interesting questions out there, like why is the ice not as old and crystallized as modern solar system formation models tell us. This could be an error in measurement.

P.S. AMERICA FUCK YEAH!!!...
all caps count in this case =)
Some of us are Americans you insensitive clod.
