Would happen. Since you flushed all his drugs, there would be no evidence that you were doing anything just. So, there is nothing backing your claim that you were trying to flush his drugs. Instead, the DA would nail you on break entering, attempted robbery, and trespassing just for good measure. Same with breaking into someone's computer. Just as it is hard to prove intent, the opposite also is true. When you are in a court room, you can't go "I broke into the pentagon's mainframes, but all I want to do is stop the government employees from wasting our tax dollar by surfing the net all day" (p.s. That's what a whole lot of them do). Odds are even if that was your intent, you are more than likely end up in prison.
Wrong, if you are not licensed in performing Heimlich maneuver or other methods of first aide, I am fully within my right to prosecute you with the full extent of the law (p.s. I would carry that out too, so please don't try to save me and call 911 instead). Now you know and probably should be careful before hopping to save people. There are people who do not want to be "saved". And addicts are just that. Second point, when I said it is self serving, it is just that. When the person doesn't want to be "saved" who are you to take away what he choose to do? And if you follow through by committing crime, how is that not serving your own ego? Third point, thanks for repeating what I said, I am saying exactly that, if we disregard the money flow, the two are exactly the same. There are workaholics irl who does nothing but work 18 hours a day and 6 for sleep with crap food sustaining them. You are throughly mistaking if you don't think the counterpart of game addicts don't exist irl. Are you saying those people need to "save" as well? Maybe we need laws to prohibit people from working too hard? Honestly, I think you are just naive, naive and stupid. Your arguments hardly make any valid points. Sticking to them will serve you no good in general.
Sometimes I wonder too. What is it that the games offered people cannot obtain in real world? Is it recognition? Fame? Fortune? Or perhaps something else altogether? I think one of the things games offer us is the ability to be who we want to be, and that is a powerful thing. In real life, many put up a facade. Like the guy you know. Can you really claim you know him? What is he all about? What drives him? What is beneath the surface that appears to be "a guy who had a comfortable life, nice house, pretty wife, three kids"? We as human beings are social. And acting out of the social norm carries heavy stipulations. Such as you can see when he lost his job, house, and wife. Thus, many of us put up a facade to cover up for who or what we really are. I think in a game online, some if not all of those facade come off, and are generally accepted. That is one of the powerful driving force that makes people go back into the game world. I think people need to stop playing the blame game, look around both side of the isle, and do something about it. Unfortunately, very few of us are willing to leave our "comfort zone".
Our laws clearly dictates that end cannot justify the means. Hacking a game account is just as bad as hacking a bank account, and people have went to court over such things. So instead of stop someone from ruining their life, you effectively put your own wellbeing as well as assets and good name at risk. This is extremely foolhardy and self serving. In all honesty, real life is just like a game. You are expected to do a lot of things and follow a certain course. You slave as much as you would in most mmorpgs and probably more so. It's just serving different masters. Someone else may not like such courses and decide that the RL game isn't something they would like to play. Then again, playing mmos you have to pay for the power usage, computer, and the game company. In contrast, playing the RL game earns money. That is something you might want to appeal people on. But please, don't encourage people to do stupid things. There are plenty of those happening without suggestions.
It seems that people here forget the fact human beings are also capable of learning, adapting, and exploiting. What ever this "cold logic" is, one thing can be sure, that is people will try to find weakness in it and try to exploit these weaknesses.
Personally, i use firefox for its plugins. adblock+, linkification, noscript, firebug, tamper data are the reason why i stick with firefox. If they were to be available in srware iron, i'd switch over in a heartbeat.
Stop buying S-E products. Enough people quit buying their stuff, they go out of business. I play namco games, and they are better than S-E games by far IMO. S-E has lost its way since FF6/7. Playing RPG is suppose to be an experience that invokes the full range of human emotions. The player is suppose to feel the joy and pain of the main characters. However, most of the current S-E games are nothing but empty shells of the IP franchises they own. Most of them are more about fancy graphics and angst than try to sway and inspire. Feeding the continuation of sub-par factory clones will only land you with worse and worse products.
an uncompressed half hour video at 60fps eats around 10~40gb depending on resolution standard, so an uncompressed half hour video at 600,000,000 fps would take around 100~400pb? times that by 48, you would get 4.8~19.2eb per day, and 33.6~134.4eb per week. nothing a SAN can't handle... now the problem is if the camera is movable. Although... they really need to consider making movies using 120fps cameras. watching IMAX in 24fps is killing my eyes.
But you fail to realize, what incentive would game company have to contract such third party? After all, in most games a GM can create what ever item or money they wish. There are no need to waste bandwidth, system load, and time for official items and money. So it would literally spell the death of RMT
depends on how your water cooling is set up though. If you have an open cooling solution, heat will be absorbed by water then phase shifting into vapor. But he will need to keep on feeding water into the tank.
it doesn't have to be just your hands you know. if you install the device under your flooring, ceiling, and the walls, your whole house can be an interface.
sharp bends happen a lot though. Tons of electricians tend to try and hide the cabling, thus bending them around the corners while mounting them around the ceiling.
um... the commercially cut cables are made of certain length for a reason. If you've taken physics especially emf harmonics, you'd know wanting a specific length without considering harmonics is all kinds of bad because it may result in emi emission, or even worse, cross talk. This happens to twisted pair as well as coaxial due to energy absorption of the copper cable themselves (part of the energy in the inner cable gets converted to heat for coax and heat conversion not equalizing for twisted pair, emf will almost never be 0 as they are in theory).
Actually you are terribly wrong. Case and point, most of the AD&D games tabletop or otherwise are based on user created content and yet still retain the part where the players are actually being led by the nose. Further more, people also love watch movies, in a sense that is "led about by the nose" entertainment. Games are fun and entertaining, but games are not replacing movies by a long shot. Co-op in a story driven rpg are also possible and entertaining. You are mistaking bad grinding designs with the nature of quests. Originally quests serve as the driving devices for a blooming storyline. However game designers want to sink as much of your time into a game as possible, yet they do not want to innovate, that is why the whole grinding quests, grinding levels came about. A lot of them are not tied to a story, and in most cases, they are just serve to get you more levels/money etc. Grinding sucks, but certain people will do anything to get ahead, so they subject themselves to grinding. Soon, others follow due to the fact they cannot play a game in any enjoyable level unless they grind. And thus everyone, developers and gamers alike enter into a degenerating cycle.
orbital bombardment. The space stations can serve as deployment platform pretty much like how airstrips for planes. There are no detection points, and since they are manned, they can change orbit at will. Although I think the chinese government isn't really looking for superiority here on earth. China is the perfect nation to start off real manned space exploration and settlement since lives are cheap, government is rich, and technology is relatively advanced. America may have superiority on this planet, i think China may really have bigger advantage in obtaining superiority in the solar system and possibly beyond.
IMO it's really easy to get rid of bots/farmers. Just have a diminishing return on camping. For example, you track player's mob kills for a half hour period, if the player's been killing hundreds of the mobs in the same region, start lower the drop rate on those mobs. After an hour or two, the mobs in the region doesn't drop anything for that particular character unless the player wait twice as long to have drop rate recover for him/her. This solves both problem of gold farming and item camping. It'd simply be not worth while to camp grind.
I don't have a problem with treating a disease and not curing it if there are no long term biological negative effects. This is because generally speaking it is not a good idea to make different strains of bacteria simply extinct. Case and point, we have virtually made smallpox extinct, but since governmental agencies kept samples and certain governments do collapse, these samples got sold and could be made into biological weapons. The populace regard smallpox as extinct, thus we didn't have immunization against it, and the disease became much more effective as a weapon than it would've before it was cured.
i just think the audacity of the narrator and the hypocrisy in what he's showcasing are hilarious. He was saying he doesn't support piracy in the video, but then turns around, right on the show, showing people how he could download pirated material.
Actually I am very interested on NYCL's take on this... He would probably give us a better picture of what happened and what can be done. The thing is, the stock art site is literally defaming that artist. The artist was not proven guilty in a court of law, and his clients may or may not have used those images. Are those kind of tactics even legal?
Lenovo's got the Chinese government's backing though, any Australian company would think twice about suing these guys. You may be able to win a suit in Australian court, but they are risking having every single one of their patents rendered useless by having millions of nameless small companies building rip offs selling at dirt cheap price then disappear the next day.

Lawyers are pretty cool too, right up to the point where they start suing on your ass. I guess it takes distance to gain perspective.
