I agree, I personally do not like realistic war-games. The Battlefield & Call of Duty games hold exactly 0 interest to me. Give me an unrealistic Unreal Tournament or Quake or Advent Rising any day.
Wasn't he terminated before they even asked for the passwords? If it was me they'd have to hire me back as a very, very expensive consultant before I'd even speak with them.
Seeing as I'm an American subcontractor & the company (major US cable co.) that has contracted us for clean up & design after being screwed over by Indian subcontractors says we are doing a great job, I'd have to say in our case, yes. BTW, I forgot to mention earlier, I'm not a programmer & the subcontractor I work for has been in business for well over 25 years.
According to a poster above the whole ratification thing will be sidestepped via Executive Agreement. I'm not even sure why we have a Constitution when all of our politicos on *both sides* of the aisle ignore it whenever it suits them.
While I honestly think that both programs are worthy of spare CPU cycles, I have to agree that Folding@Home will be much more useful to us in the short run.
No, it didn't change. The more quests you complete for factions, the more Turbine Points you get. Or you can buy them for real money. Or you can pay $15 a month for a subscription & get access to "pay" quests when they come out & an allotment of Turbine Points each month. I've been playing since the beta & haven't spent a dime of real money. You can buy items with Turbine points, but at most the are only slightly better than the items you can find. I.e. a Bull Strength potion that lasts 4x as long as a regular one. I have noticed that while the armor you can buy at the Turbine store looks better (or at least more complex) than the equivalent armor that you can find in dungeons, once you out-level it, you can't do anything with it. Can't sell it, can't trade it to other players & can't "mail" it to other characters in your account. I'm guessing if you bought a shared bank vault for you account you could trade it that way, but I'm not too inclined to find out.
You don't have to spend any money to have fun in DDO. None. There is nothing in the Turbine store that you "have" to have to get ahead. Quite honestly the equipment in the Turbine store that I've seen pales in comparison to the equipment that you can bid on at the auction house for in-game currency.
Nope not alone. But I wouldn't have bought it if it did come with a dedicated server, I really just don't like reality-based war games. Not my cup of tea.

They are based on real armies, wars & equipment, therefore too realistic for my tastes.

Whatever it is, they are held to a higher standard than a school lunch these days.

Yes Virginia, in our own eyes we are more important than everything else on this planet. This is not rocket science.

No that wouldn't cause the whack a mole effect or anything. Or a huge shitstorm.
Yes, we should bomb the fuck out of Switzerland. That will show them how right we are.
And according to their FAQ, they are mirrored in a fashion that would make them very, very, very hard to actually take down.
I know transparency terrifies you & your ilk, but I hope you get a clue & leave Wikileaks alone.
Why does the Federal *TRADE* Commission give a fuck what is going on with kids in online settings? Isn't this the domain of the FCC?
More like both Starcraft & WH40k we're loosely based on Heinlein's Starship Troopers.
This is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. Is this just a government make work project or something?

Bingo. Cleaning up after shoddy Indian sub-contractors has been my bread & butter since May or so.
Are you talking about Dark Sun: Crimson Sands by any chance?

Maybe, but now Iran's problem is the rest of the world knows better.
Treaties & Conventions? Seizure of other assets (think child companies).

So if he had been running Folding@Home he'd be free & clear (other than the PCs he allegedly stole).?
I wonder if the Euro version of the EFF will help him out?
I'm very glad civil-rights leaders in the 60's weren't so cowardly.
