I dont know, I see mage as a real, get the first shot off first kinda toon, I mean if I turn the vampire into a lawn orniment then I dont have to worry much about him eating me. Thats why I think the real griefers will be mages, they dont worry about humanity, they only worry about their version of the masqurade. As for wearwolves, yeah those guys are just nasty six ways from sunday, but I think this MMO would be well served by allowing players to heavely customise their toons, and not making them stand out agents the human background unless you choose to. Its harder to grief someone if they all look like background NPC's
This levy saved the future of a friend of mine. He did use it as a defence in court that since he payed the levy on the cd's he buys and the HD's he used that since its done the time he thought it was alright to do the crime. The judge bought it because well its true, we have paid for piracy we might as well enjoy it. To be honest if we over pay a little into the system so much the better, it just give more fuel to the "But I've alriady paid for it" defence.
and with the americans pulling citizens of others countries out of their native soil to prosicute them this isnt just an american issue anymore. If there is anything your canadian brothers can do to help you defeat this law let us know.
So let me see if I have got this?
google corupts, and monoploy google corrupts absolutly?
See the thing is I havnt seen them do something specficaly evil yet...so I think I'll reserve judgment until then...
I easily use more bandwith then most companies in my area just for personal use, when can I get this kind of bandwith without it costing me my first born AND my second?
I remember when I first heard about this game, I was just getting out of highschool and me and my buddies were reading about it thinking this game will be so cool. Now I'm in the working world, I'm done university, getting married and my highschool friends are all doing the same. A pitty they didnt release it when I would have time to play it.
I think the real issue people are having here is that you would HAVE to have this ID to be considered a citizen under the law. In otherwords if you dont have it on you then you arnt american and do not enjoy the protection that offers. Theres a RPG called shadowrun that kinda explored this, their were 2 tiers of socity those with SIN numbers that could goto and use goverment programs, welfare, ect. and the SINless who the cops could effectivly jail forever and no one could say anything.
Think about some random homeless man, if he dosnt get his card and keep it on him when/if he gets jailed they can pretty much treat him as an illegal alien and kick this man out, despite having always lived in the USA.
Your forefathers saught to create a land of free men, now, they would be slaves to a piece of plastic.
some "deviant" (i.e., anything other than missionary) position? Sorry to burst your bubble but there are states in the US that still have simular laws on the books...I've been in 'parishes' in the states where my fiance and I were informed of that.
This was the same road trip in the southern US that we escaped an angry mob when we informed the plesent towns people that the reason we didnt goto curch on the sunday is because she is jewish and I am a Astaru/Wiccan. (didnt know that was a lynch aboe offence, we are from toronto canada)
Look I think honestly the Aussies should have tried they guy for the USer's because simply put where are americans going to get him a jury of HIS peers?
I'd buy one of these boxes, the moive thereters around here are kinda sketchy, I would love to have the guys over for a party, release screening of a summer blockbuster.
Seeing as how I do not like vista, on the basis that I like to be in control over what software I run. That being said I can't wait to run DX10 on my build of linux and my XP rig!
we just need someone evil enough to prove it.
DAMNIT!!! >.
bloody hell, see this is why I voted the green party.
Well they better call an election before this goes up...because if they do then the bill will die and not come back.
This is something that happens alot in canadian politics, they put a bill forward just before an election that they know wont fly so that the special intrest group got the attention they wanted but dont have to deal with actually doing it.
That better be what there doing anyway...because if not (shakes fist)
Can I be hacker for a fortunie 500 company?
Thank of the glamor (none)
the babes (less then none)
the sexy parties (ok mabye a few of those if your room mate is cool)
I personaly think that corn (may have to have some slight genetic modification) might be the right way to go. I mean we have a whole province in canada that prettymich all they do is grow it.
And let me tell you...thats alot of corn
I think the people who use the internet (read all of you) should start a class action agenst the RIAA for a slander suit, after all it seems like whenever they indentify anyone online they sue them...just because your online dosnt mean your a priate.
isnt it written somewhere that as people of the internet its our highest law that this can never happen?
Jack Thompson cannot be allowed to win, that leads to the religious right of the force...
Can they, yes they can, universities at their heart are just corps, and corps have been forcing people to sign over IP for years.
Should they? no. I think this is nuts, I wront essays for sale a few years back, I have to tell you I dont want someone else profiting of something I alriady made a profit on.
Ok I'll byte, if this isn't the real battle what is?
to be honest if viacom wins this one then a corp and produce groundless ciese and desist orders. If google wins then the shareholder backlash might be enough to put a big enough crack in viacom for someone to start making play for control of it...like I dont know google mabye.
See I think this was googles plan all along, buy youtube, sucker in a big media company kill them in the cort, wait for the shareholder backlash, pick up the company cheep, offer a pay area on youtube where you can download content cheep, and make a enough to make Itunes pause and consider...
Its not as easy as it sounds. For someone in retail moving from one job to another is tough, its not just sales and product you have to know, you have to be a master of manulipating your system to get what the customer needs. When you start over you dont have that skill set.
ah, but Bill also said that about 640k my friend...
personaly I think I would want the biggist HDD possible I mean when th mod chips become viable...and in canada its legal to mod your electronics...

Otherwise it could be a while before we get to play my to favorites, Mage and Changling.
How do they plan on collecting this data? personaly I dont like spyware, maby they should send me ads about how to remove there own spyware

The penny boys hold gaming corps to a fairly high standards, it will be interesting to see if there game can live up to their own standards
in Fascist america, newspaper reads YOU!

Ironicly, the best person to fix this rocket would have been scotty.
