I wonder who gets sued for this. Obviously Google's Crawler was at fault, somewhat
There was a publicly available link on the Sun-Sentinel's website to a six year old undated news story. That's not Google's fault. If a human had found the story and emailed the link around the same thing may have happened, just slower.
There should never have been a Cyber command in the first place! It's a disgusting waste of tax payers money to have Air Force personnel sitting in chat rooms cybering all day!
um... did they keep any transcripts? any good?
Google has a relatively simple API you can apply for to allow for a fixed number of automated queries of their system. It doesn't actually give you new functionality but does make automated queries of their databases "authorized". Without the API license key, you run the risk of getting noticed by them and ban-hammered if they think your just a bot scraping their data, something they do NOT like.
I think this article just got in because it had both Google and Open Source as subjects. If they have figured a clean way to find SEARCH volume (which is hard) as opposed to RESULTS volume (which is stupidly easy), get back to me.:)
We saw this with the last expansion, this is just a refinement. At end-game level before the release of first expansion, you had tons of people at level 60 but with wildly different gear levels. Maybe you were still trying to down the first MC boss or maybe you were uber and were clearing Naxx. You were not equal.
Then TBC hit, we went to outland and within 3 levels we had all been equalized by green quest rewards that were better than the best we could get in the old world. It was a great big reset button and everyone got to start over. People complained about working so hard to get their Tier 3 stuff only to DE it at level 63.
This time, their giving raiders, casuals and PvPers ways to get roughly equal gear in advance of the new expansion, to cushion the shock, I'd guess. It's the reset button again. We'll race to level 80 from roughly equal footing, the 25 man content will be hard, there'll be new raiding guilds and casuals will be locked out of the best gear again. Until the NEXT expansion, at which point they'll nerf things and hand out epics to equalize everyone once more.
It's a reset button. Just consider it the start of Season Three.:)
and this game is one you could play at work. Of course, when playing games at work, you need a panic button just so if the boss comes by it will quickly replace Excel with a World of Warcraft screenshot.
Um.....
... if the Neural net can predict my next move, just let it make it for me. Send my bot out to farm Karazhan for me while I watch the hockey game.
Oh wait...
Maybe Google should adapt their filter software so it blurs the face of anyone with a Canadian flag patched attached to themselves;-)
Yeah, well.... not sure how well that would work.
It's even money that a tourist with an Canadian flag patch is actually an American trying to avoid grief while travelling.
...and in related news, Blizzard has announced that players will now have to prove they are Orcs before being allowed to play one in World of Warcraft.

...but they cannot tell us angles of inclination because.. *ahem* ... there is no cow level.
I'll be here all week and stay away from the veal.
I thought this was another RIAA article. Oh well...

Really? Whoops! [hides google key in lead lined safe]

Sure, the game is fine, doesn't affect me at all. It's those dipsticks from my last Magister's Terrace PUG that I want to kill!

No, but expect to have troubles trying to read it on patch day Tuesdays.
