... but does anyone knows if the program is always that slow?
I understand that it has to visually find the button and this is computationally expensive, but the 2~3 seconds lag didn't seem compatible with the task.
On a sidenote, the video states that there's no "internal API" dependence, but it clearly has to send "click" and "type" signals. Is that really OS independent or was it just an overstatement?
The system is way more complex than that and that's why more classes can be created without adding new numbers.
For example, you forgot to account the party, from where you can create "General" or "Commander" classes.
Or the game economy and market, where there's plenty of space for a "Merchant" class (combat design, I know, but most merchant classes are able to carry more loot and repair items).
This "assumption" is what the ISPs are trying to sell: "The Mythical 'Bandwidth Hog'".
So, by the power of the Summary, I state that no, those resources won't be less taxed because the difference a single user makes, using *his* connection fully, is not enough to interfere with the neighborhood's. And, if it IS enough, it's because the ISPs are doing it wrong.
The article talks about ISP problems, not domestic ones. I think everyone here knows that torrent can destroy your connection, but it won't affect anyone else in the area with the same ISP.
Ask your neighbors if their connection slows down when you open your torrent client. They will answer No, but the ISP says YES.
And THAT is the point of the article: wether using your connection fully hogs everyone's bandwith in the area or not.
I think word quotas are a good thing. How many times did someone asked you about a certain subject, and you can't quite figure out how much you should talk?
It's a more precise way to ask for "something between a few lines and a short story".
a) On a 404 page - "This page has been moved to ____"
b) On paid content websites - "You can download it at [thepiratebay link]"
c) Talk to the author (oh god, I'd rage at this) - "Hey, it didn't work in my IE6!" or "You used 'their' incorrectly"
I can't think of any other case that has not been covered by conventional moderating system.
"Hackers who find novices on their trail may trash their computers or steal their identities as punishment. Citizen hunters could also become cybervigilantes and harm bystanders as they pursue criminals."
"Citizen hunters"? "Novices" on hackers trails? Really?
It's a software to gather data about attacks, people. The editor's imagination went way too far.

Well, it's always useful to find out what the music playing in the video is.
The system is way more complex than that and that's why more classes can be created without adding new numbers.

The software's website (http://www.skygrabber.com/) is down, probably due to news DDoS (aka Slashdotted), blocking people's access to the program.
What is this called? Reverse Streisand Effect?

And BAM, we are back to the beginning.
From the summary:
"What's actually happening is the ISPs are selecting the top 5% of users"
I bet that all those users don't live in the same neighborhood.
As far as I understand the ISP are dealing with single users, not entire neighborhoods.

I spent some time wondering what were you going to do with a flying mammal and a printer.
It's easier to see the comma, and if you don't notice the period it's not a big deal.
Bing Gains 10% Marketshare
[...]now facilitating close to 10% of US searches.[...]
So, it had 0% before or is the summary incorrectly using "stronger words" to get attention?
Given the low prize, it's highly possible.
But Brazil does have a stable political climate. Lot's of claims of corruption, but everything have been on its tracks for so long that is boring.
It's important to note that the prize for the winner is of just R$ 5.000, a little under $ 3.000. This certainly scared most experts away.
On a side note, you guys have just slashdotted our fucking Superior Election Court website. I hope you are happy.
I would say that Sao Paulo provides you with cheap electronics, but I forgot that Paraguay is right there...
Electroshock therapy for Internet addiction? Are you sure this isn't from The Onion?
What?
"Developing nations" is a pretty loose term. I do live in a "developing nation" and I'm yet to see any city WITHOUT addresses.
It's troubling to see such a claim being modded +5 Insightful.
What's the catch? Too expensive? Disastrous problems if handled incorrectly? Not enough materials available? Violates a patent?
I like the idea, but if they remove the *click* physical feedback, someone's going to die.

It's me or after reading this suddenly all my vital organs functions become apparent?
It's a possibly huge medical breakthrough, but it sure is creepy.

Could you even remove the arms? I've always thought it would break the toy.
Don't forget that every single child that has played with Lego have at least once ripped off the characters members apart.
