    From what I can understand he put some weights on the blades, when the thief tried to remove the wires, the blades come down, chopping off 2 fingers.

    Build it in... When for x time no 'special' password is given the termite gets an ignitionsource. It should be quite easy after that to spot the thief. Whoever smells like bacon most is the one you're after :)

    In Italy a person got his car stereo stolen twice in 1 week, the 3rd time he mounted some sharp knifes as a defensive mechanism. Two days later he found 4 fingers in his car. The police was not happy. I'm not sure how the story ended in a court.

    Cash Cow II, Sure Thing IV, and Same Game Again III are all exciting and innovative and you should buy them.

    Many people never played Cash Cow I, Sure Thing I, and Same Game Again I, this is why those games are so popular. For the rest of us, who are past the 30 and still play games it's the same shit with a new shiny box.

    Nah, it applies to everything that is good and free, if too many are doing it, it spoils the fun.

    I wonder what will happen if The Pirate Bay is closed down or turned into a site for legal torrents. A lot of the other torrent sites relies on the Pirate Bay tracker. What other large, public bittorrent trackers (not just .torrent mirrors) are there?

    No worries, there are plenty of open trackers out there, but the first rule is, never talk about torrents.

    The only problem is, we were not supposed to live past the 40. Natural evolution can't adapt in 100 years. This is why we want to accelerate stuff now. :)

  13. Re:Reverse engineering on Apple, Google, AT&T Respond To the FCC Over Google Voice · · Score: -1, Troll

    Apple says they haven't actually rejected the app, they're just continuing to "study it," and that it may "alter the iPhone's distinctive user experience by replacing the iPhone's core mobile telephone functionality and Apple user interface with its own user interface for telephone calls, text messaging, and voicemail."

    So Apple is holding Google's app in limbo until they have time to reverse engineer the functionality and release it as native functionality of the iPhone?

    No, they are just acting gay. :)

  14. Re:New 3D engine? on BlizzCon Keynote — New WoW Expansion, Diablo 3 Details · · Score: 1

    Lag used to describe network latency, as you are pointing out. But today "LAG" can be used to describe all kind of delays. Input, client side, server side or network problems, all can be called LAG. Of course they are different, but this is what they cause, LAG.

  15. Re:New 3D engine? on BlizzCon Keynote — New WoW Expansion, Diablo 3 Details · · Score: 1

    I understand what you are saying and I do agree with you, but a nice 3D engine can't hurt. I love certain WoW views, hell often I just stood there admiring the view. But when the game is lagging at 20FPS on a 3Ghz dual core CPU, it stops to be fun.

    Maybe it's me or maybe it's the RP server where I used to play. But "stuff & level" means jack shit. I guess it's like real life, kids and dump people value material stuff, while other value the meaning of actions and words. And I don't want WoW to die, just to update the engine to properly use 2 cores. Right now the 2nd never goes above 15%.

  20. Re:Changes to old zones on BlizzCon Keynote — New WoW Expansion, Diablo 3 Details · · Score: 1

    I read elsewhere that the changes to old zones are likely to be done with their 'phasing' method used in some zones of the current expansion. It kind of splits the zone into parallel versions, and what a player sees (and what other players they see)will be different depending on what quests they've done. What they've done with it so far did a great job of giving the illusion that players were making a difference in their world.

    It makes sense that they would do this with the old-world areas rather than just replace them; low-level characters still need places to hunt and quest.

    Dude, if you want to see other dimensions, just use less tobacco. :)

  21. New 3D engine? on BlizzCon Keynote — New WoW Expansion, Diablo 3 Details · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I love WoW and always will (even if I don't play it now for 6 months), but the 3D engine is getting old. It doesn't matter if you have a new PC, it will still lag when too much players are in the same zone. I'd go back, but I need some new mind blowing sound and 3D experience, after all this is why we like PC games, always delivering top technology.

    Good luck WoW.
