    I know a good bit about computers, but I had never heard about anything like this. Would this actually be possible - emulating the entire thing? I'm sure the X boxes and whatnot would be easy, but what about the right-click context menus?

    Furthermore, why isn't Adblock stopping these things in the first place?

    Not everyone in the world my age (22) is computer literate or even able to use a computer as it traditionally functions.

    I think a person with no arms might like being able to communicate via computer and use it without having to type or breath into a tube to get stuff done.

    Giving the RIAA a bailout would be more like giving a union money rather than giving a business or industry money.

    Just means we gotta fight harder.

    For once, they're on our playing field. They could deploy 10,000 servers to filter out the Internet, and all it takes is one bored college kid to find a way to circumvent those servers.

    This is not a game of numbers or money but brains - an area the government is decidedly lacking.

    What would happen if someone were to ram a plane into the cable?

    Even if it wouldn't snap it, it would make it move, would it not? What would happen then?

    Cape Canaveral is easy to defend. It's on the ground. This is a vertical structure that goes all the way up into space. To be completely safe, we'd have to enforce a very wide no-fly zone around it.

  19. Re:I wouldn't hold my breath on Time To Discuss Drug Prohibition? · · Score: 1

    We still have to deal with the responsibility of drug users when they drive, work, parent, and in other contexts.

    That's why it's illegal to drive under the influence of drugs. Who would ever think that reforming those laws would be a good idea?

    I don't think most people in the younger generations have a problem with people using drugs but on the condition that they aren't endangering anybody else.

    It's true creating them automatically would be difficult. That's the point, a computer couldn't do it.

    I'd imagine something more like a volunteer system where you can submit, an open-source project, etc. The work would have to be done by people, but it would be difficult for most computers to crack.

  24. Re:Hardly universal. on Review: Wrath of the Lich King · · Score: 1

    Actually, there are two cities underneath that "big spiral". (It's a giant, magical storm called the Maelstrom.)

    There are two opposing cities there: Nazjatar, capital city of the Naga, and Mak'aru, capital city of the Makrura. They are locked in constant conflict.

    Lorewise, this is begging for an expansion. One side can get the Naga and the other can get the Makrura. (I'd say Allies get the Makrura and Horde gets the Naga.) Underwater mounts (think dolphins, sea turtles, Gnomish submarines, etc.). A reason to upgrade the underwater fighting. Whole new legions of "deep sea" enemies, like giant evil angler fish etc. There's enough of a backstory here to form an expansion in its own right.

    For the Indians, it would primarily be Hindi - although there's also a mix of Pashtu, Arabic, Urdu, and other languages.

    As for the Chinese, they primarily speak Mandarin Chinese. Cantonese Chinese is also spoken in a smaller group of the population, and there are various even smaller dialects of Chinese throughout the mainland.
