    Ac's aren't worth replying to. Especially ones claiming " I'm a member of a fairly large community of hackers"

    To some people it is.
    They don't want there usage monetized, monitored, interrupted. They don't want to come home and have 20 minutes to blow off steam only to get message 37.

    No..not available on request. That can turn someone from having a really bad day, to destroying them. Ye,s they need to be available, but you should need to go through the courts to get them.

    They were warned and they made a choice - and the narrative quickly went from "police brutality" to "protester choice"."
    False choice. Do what we say, are you will be in immense pain.

    I have no problem with the police filming. I think they should only become public under certain circumstances. IF the police are going to film, then there shouldn't be any cuts in the film, ever.

    They have categorically said they wont.

    From my understanding, it's too integrated. IT's isn't a single player game with multiplier added on. It's a multiplayer game with the ability to no let others join you group.
    So they would need to create a version instead of patch it.

    That said, the people I know a Blizzard might be wrong, or blizzard will decides it worth while and a new release will do it. If they do, I would probably go back to the game.

    Correct. It's the first game from Blizzard that just isn't worth it.

    "Stories are for books and movies."
    How sad.

    Stories are for..stories. Media is secondary.
    Doesn't mean it has to be about the story all the time, but when all you have is 'Click a lot' having a decent story gives reason to see the next bit. When the next pit is the same as the last bit, then it's important.

    WoW has some great stories. Unlike D3. Yawn.

    Anyways, Never play Max Payne, it's all about the story. You overly simple view of entertainment would hate it. Maybe when you are 30 you can enjoy it.

    haha, no. I talked to support several times. Telling them, no, someone got into my account that I no longer use, because I don't pay you money any more. Why would you even allow people to use that account.

    Not in the tradition sense, it doesn't.

    Even when playing solo, it's built for you to use the auction house.
    So while you are playing, you are still online with everyone else.

    Should they have created a stand alone single player mode? Yes. But they didn't.

    in Wow, several times. All of them after I no longer played the game.

    So Blizzards 'banning' is laughable.

    And D3 is very, very boring. No now creativity, boring story full of holes.

    "Time and time again ivory tower eggheads have turned out to be wrong, despite all their book learning."
    Yes, they get new data, apply it to what they currently have. If it shows that where wrong, then say they where wrong and produce a more accurate model.

    That is exactly what you want. That is why Ivory Tower Eggheads should be listen to and not made an ad hom, attack from plebes like you.

    For the record, they are more often correct, and new data will modify a model, not destroy it.

    Einstein didn't prove Newton wrong, he only showed the gravitational model had more complexities.

    err.. no. You go back a few hundred years, and a lot of it was based on hearsay. Their is all kind of problems with that data.

    Which doesn't mean they aren't the best records, just in the context and the way you wrote it you are comparing "Best ever" with "Good'.

    Considering you don't have any genes in common with ANYONE more then 50 generations back, it's impossible to tell if if he did exist; which is highly unlikely.

    You can get information from the gene code to have a better probability with certain factors.

    I mean,. having someone come up with an 'racial purity' test o nonsense and below the aspiration of s civilized person, but that's a separate issue.
    You8 could tell that the person had no 'middle eastern' heritage, for example.

    However you can also have a man who is very black, and be eastern European heritage.
    Radio lav did an excellent story on this, btw.

    What you can not do, is look at someone skin and build and actually know ancestral history. I'm not talking about apparent or grand parent,s but many generations.
