Parent tl;dr: Only the people who don't have anything worthwhile to do and have an interest in forcing through a particular view will care to fight on Wikipedia - end result being that Wikipedia is a cesspool worse than 4chan run by the most socially retarded misfits.
... seriously, play the game. The bots all play like douchebag teenagers, complete with the taunting. And going for the glory alone, refusing to cooperate.
There's also such a thing as "pressure". I'm not going to be any less susceptible to force when I'm armed - larger numbers can still utilize force at a higher risk, and societal/legal force doesn't require arms at all.
I'm not going to take out a gang of men with guns with a single pistol, no matter how proficient I am. With baseball bats, I still have a chance to run away.
My phone has a 2gb card - and no MicroSDHC support - so it's as big as it can get.
It's filled to a point where only around 200mb are free, the rest of it filled with software and music. If I could, I'd pack 16gb of music on it.
Admittedly, I am a bit of a portable media whore. My Eee and DS have between them two 8gb, a 4gb and a 2gb card, and I have a 8gb stick and only one 4gb stick anymore - used to have two.
But 8gb cards are 20e, 4gb cards 12e and 2gb cards 7e. And 16gb cards are 40e, whereas 32gb cards are 130e.
Essentially - in SDHC cards, 16gb cards aren't a bad investment anymore, and 8gb cards are pretty much standard. In SD cards, obviously only 2gb is available - which is pretty cheap too.
And how large a hard disk should you get with a new PC? Right now, 500gb. Get more of them if you need more space.
Because the jump from 500gb to bigger sizes is ridiculous. And it's better to have more hard drives you have the space for rather than have everything on one gigantic hard drive.
Additional note: Nokia phone, a Nokia cellphone modem driver on Windows, and a special ppp script on Linux, creating the device with inbuilt Ubuntu bluetooth. Both work fine. I've clocked in over 700 hours connected after I bought the system.
I've had a 3g phone connected to my laptop via Bluetooth for a year and a half now. I've since then enjoyed unlimited 384kbps net connection wherever I go, except non-3g areas, where I get EDGE.
So, this wasn't news over an year ago, why would it be now?
If anything, I encounter MORE Eve morons than WoW morons.
May just be because I don't hang out in the places WoW morons do, whereas Eve morons tend to be elitist dumbasses.
For me, Eve gameplay has NO reward and it's incredibly boring. I'm not actually doing anything special without having a few dozen players - at least - on my side. And then any of those few dozen can freely backstab me without any repercussions whatsoever.
Essentially, it's a game where I have to be constantly on my toes and I'm STILL bored, because everything is either The Same Generic Area or alternatively I'm interacting with players I need to be wary of. This is even less fun than WoW is.
Whereas WoW is a themepark with a lot of kids, Eve is a parking lot with a lot of thugs with knives and anger issues.
I dunno, I'll rather listen to the whining kids than deal with nonstop abuse.
Eve is for masochists who want their difficulty to come in completely unpredictable spikes. Eve is *the* game for griefers, given it's pretty much everything there is to the game.
Why would people ever stick about when about the only fun in the game is griefing and counter-griefing is beyond me, but eh. To each his own.
Yellowstone blows up supervolcano style, and there's no more United States. There's a plain of ash covering millions of dead people, and a handful of refugees who will resort to cannibalism.

No, that would just make the herd mentality worse.
As if it isn't with questioning an admin being the worst heresy against Glorious Wikipedia.
"Replacing legitimate content with vandalism" means "disagreeing with the cabal" when we're talking about Wikipedia.

That more or less sums up the UT3 bots already.
Yeah, you act just like a drug addict if you don't get your video game fix.
You shiv, burn and kill just to have one more hour of World of Warcraft, nevermind it drastically changing your brain chemistry.
Oh, wait, I guess you don't even know the definition of addiction, do you?
Well, wasn't he a moron.

Yeah, and without even the proper armament. Use a shotgun.
Exaile has a fixed layout and wants everything to be in a gigantic resolution.
Frankly, I don't think Amarok nor Exaile really match up to fb2k in Wine.

And given moments like that are highlights of the game among mining, grinding missions and manufacturing, you see why it's a niche game.

It's not, really.
Nay.
You're merely not smart enough to realize I am the Smartest Poster On Slashdot.
Anyone can farm, not like it's hard.
Especially not in comparison to those circumstances. Farming will be dangerous, but still not hard.
What's hard? Keeping up with the modern regulations and pesticides. The techniques haven't really changed that much.
Numbers are extremely inaccurate - the people about are around six billion, the people that can be fed is anywhere from ten thousand to a billion.
Stock well up.
I meant "at least a thousand". But it's 5am on New Year's Day.
The entire human race? Not so likely.
Most of the human race? Very possible.
Yeah, I spotted that in the preview but let it pass anyway. :P
I don't think you understand the amount of energy involved.
That amount of water is nowhere *close* enough.
The summary is actually understating it.
Yellowstone blows up supervolcano style, and there's no more United States. There's a plain of ash covering millions of dead people, and a handful of refugees who will resort to cannibalism.
You're far enough from the immediate threat of lava.
If you live in north or middle America, you're not far away enough from the ash.
Billions of people, not millions.
Food enough to feed a few hundred thousand people - though, that's still about 0.016% chance, or so.
So yeah, to survive you need to kill a hundred people. Not pretty.
