He said that everyone knows about the moon landing since we saw it live or recorded and I just pointed out that the whole idea of the article is to preserve said knowledge about the moon landing. I don't really care about it but I guess I would if I were living 500 years in the future (and on the Moon:P).
Isn't that the way most of historical data is lost? People not saving important information because it's common sense for them. I want wikipedia (and other enciclopaedias) saved in some very reliable and autonomous computer with a sexy woman AI voice (or maybe Morgan Freeman's) that will explain everything you ask about human history.
That way in 3000 years when people have restarted civilization after a nuclear war they can find out about human life and maybe accelerate their development faster than the last one so they don't have to go through 1000 years of dark ages again (and maybe they won't start up with religious bullshit either).
They honestly didn't expect that to happen? They should have put limits on how many quests you can do according to a rank or something. They should have also limited the reward of a quest according to the difficulty (of the mobs you need to kill, the length of travel, etc). I know the real test of a feature is on the live servers but still, think ahead a little.
I know you wanted to sound cool and confuse me even more but I was sorta just joking. Anyway, it worked, now I think I should try to experiment on my own or something and find the truth:P
Why is this +5 funny and the other -1 troll? If Xenu is funny Jesus should be as funny. Or do mods here actually believe in God and Jesus? I'm probably headed for offtopic/troll/flamebait but I would still like a discussion on this.
impossible not=very probable (to have admins that are) not anti-censorship=for freedom. So you meant that it's very probable to have pro-freedom of speech admins; why can't you say that?:P
Here's a thought: why not do a simple render from each of the opponents viewpoint and do some computations that mimic "seeing" and analyzing the way a human does. You could still put pointers like enemy/friend, distance, etc (because otherwise it would get too complicated), but you would get an honest AI that doesn't see through walls and doesn't have perfect accuracy.
You basically want a game only for yourself... Good luck with that. WoW is not meant to replace reality with a fictional world where you go through a story that never ends. That would be really pointless and time wasting.
It's a game, it's just a set of rules that you have to obey when you play in order to reach a certain objective. That's how all games work: computer games, board games, sports, even economy, politics, etc. I did a dungeon of 5 with just 2 people (me and another guy). It took 3 hours but it actually was fun and stimulating, pushing the limits of the game's rules.
Yes, maybe 60% of the hundreds of hours I put into the game were not as fun but I think that those rarer cases make it worth it. Just like playing soccer is mostly running except for the 10% of the time when you're touching the ball. Or a politician working 30-40 years to become president for 4 years.
Most monopolies rely on the same thing: the cost of adapting to another provider for that resource, which could mean requiring some new skills, some new devices, etc. What me and the parent poster were talking about is achieving that monopoly, and for that you good marketing skills and/or a lack of moral values (or ignorance regarding them).
I dunno, even if you don't open multiple tabs it can still be a mess because people sometimes put videos or animations in the comments which can be annoying without sound because they slow up the display of the page.
The idiocy of the population is there and it makes such things possible but in order to be the only brainwasher (or the major one), like MS, you need the superior marketing skills.
I use them both for the sites that I have whitelisted in noscript but don't want to load all the flash animations. Best example: youtube. When I ctrl+click a lot of videos at a time flashblock is useful because it won't let the videos load until I click them. Otherwise, I'd have to go in each tab and stop them or I get 10 videos playing at once. It's also useful when viewing pages with many flash ads, the page loads faster and they don't slow up firefox.
And let's not forget about social network profiles that have 3 videos and 10 songs playing when you view them (not counting the glitter graphics in the comments).
And you can add the other 50-100 million internet capable phones... They're probably more but let's stick to the "real" ones (with a http browser and enough memory to display a normal webpage). And yes, some of them might have flash capability but it sucks and shouldn't even be considered flash, it's like a more complicated gif animation.
I still play the old Counterstrike, Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne online and sometimes Starcraft with my friends. If the game is good you find people playing it long after it becomes "old". The fact that you can't play a game after 6months means it wasn't really good to begin with. Those are the same as all the commercial music nowadays: everyone is crazy about them for a few months and then no-one even cares about them. So no thanks, I'll stick to the quality stuff, not the consumerist crap. Like others said before, this works for movies, music and other kinds of entertainment too.
Yes, but talking about it offtopic is not helping anyone. I agree with schnikies79 that the ones that bring it up are mostly people trying to make fun of it and it's not funny. Here comes the karma burning for 'trolling'.

Well he was reading the second part as "inclod sensitive you" and he probably didn't know what it meant.
It's ironic from the OP's POV.

Both posts are conveniently made under AC, I dunno who to believe :P

Have you seen it being published in December. It's not like they can't lie about the date :P

I ate them all.
And it's not? I mean, what good has humanity done for anything else other than itself?

No, punders refers to the act of punning or making a pun. In this case the pun was "punders" instead of "ponders".

No, the bad guys won a lot earlier on the power ladder. What you see is in the Government is the best of those bad guys.
And the time warping caused by the black hole will make that September last forever?
