    "If these children could not pass a sentience test then, in following the logic of the pro-choice followers, there should be absolutely nothing wrong with having them killed for convenience."

    This is of course just some rubbish you invented, however the majority decides, and if this one day comes to pass - well then it does.

    The problem is not with people saying something, but having power - the biggest problem for slashdot is not anon posts, but the people who anon mod you down just because they don't like you.

    Without having to first download the google updater with its bloatware services and other crap, I might actually try it out.

    I have seen no evidence that we *NEED* copyright. Perhaps somethings would not be possible, perhaps they would be possible in different ways. Either way, i'm sure we'd survive as a people. Copyright is a new invention, and I've seen no reason to think it has any long lasting value.

    Nonsense, the Murlocs are just misunderstood. They want to be friends, but they are used to us killing them.

    Of course as you progress this time, you actually make friends with a Murloc tribe and help them out.

    " '' That flying mount you saved up for (worse, if you bought an epic) - can't use it until 77 or so. Bad call.''

    I think this decision is used to good effect to keep people from skipping large sections of the content."

    I wish people would shut up with that bullshit - if people want to skip "content" its their choice and its probably because its bad content! And a flying mount doesn't allow you to skip anything, since they all take place on the fucking ground!
    (With a few flight related exceptions)

    77 was way to long, my initial love turned into to utter hate was i was struggling through the last damn levels before i was once more delivered to the skies.

    It should have been 72 or something, not damn 77.

    At least there is the likelihood that blizzard will lower the limit, 5-10 patches from now.

  16. Re:You mean physical memory right :-) on Why Use Virtual Memory In Modern Systems? · · Score: 1

    Ah yes I remember the Amiga, the compiler generated an index to all memory references in the code and adjusted the values as it loaded it into memory, so referred to the correct addressees. And if you needed memory buffers you asked the system to allocate memory and got a point which was valid at the time of allocation, but then i guess that bit still is fairly normal.

    Doesn't make much sense though. I've never met anyone who by "virtual memory" doesn't mean "data written to the harddrive (to pretend you have more memory than you do)" - and yes, there clearly is a penalty for doing this.

    And certainly for Windows XP, you get a large swapfile, even if you have more memory that you actually use.

    But virtual memory IS stuff swapped out on disk, otherwise its real memory.

    And i have 4gb, and seeing a terrible performance while stuff has to load back and forth, even for simple things like world of warcraft.
