I would suggest partitioning the mud into areas which appeal to a particular kind of griefer, so that the griefers stay with themselves. For example, like the town guards in UO, just more complex. I'd have several ideas to implement that. You'd also need to give up the idea to make travel between areas easy and quick, because otherwise it is to tempting to just raid and run.
Only phyphor got it right, it is not a PHP problem, and he's modded "1", in contrast to the misinformed: sjokki explains that the bug is related to using the "e" eval modifier of preg_replace.
It took hours for technicians to find the problem, fix it and patch the system's security holes. - now what does that mean? Did it take them 2 hours? 180 man-hours? 0.05 hours?
But the seed will surely play a prominent role in the.torrent tracker? Like being the first entry and being there all the time? So doesn't the.torrent always point to the one who put the seed online, that is you?
In fact, while I see that the.torrent is theoretically separate from the seed, im practice it isn't, since you requested the.torrent to go online..
Patents are granted unter the pretext and condition that the work is original and inventive. To a mathematician, a decent definition of "original and inventive" in this context would be "The probability that someone else comes up with the idea within the time the patent holds is below 5%".
However, even if you used such a definition of "inventiveness", there is no way one can actually implement it. So patents just cannot be granted but on a whim; patent examiners are not as much to blame is the impossibility of defining "inventiveness".
Another reason to grant a patent would be that some stuff is hard to do and a monopoly is required to make it work. This might be a good reason, but it has nothing to do with how the current patent system is designed and justified.
Such a system might work better in the way of the X-prize, or even by auctioning of the monopoly to be the only one to be able to produce "X" to the highest bidder.
Unfortunately I don't think anyone will fix the system until it is more obviously borked. So we need "free patents" and "patent trolls" to bork it.

Maybe they could improve their design by adding context to the english words, or maybe to ALL words in ANY language? For example (incorrectness possible, I'm not an arab speaker):
foundation/base(engineering,housebuilding,metaph or ical) = al Qaeda(engineering,housebuilding,metaphorical)
the loo/the sit(colloq.,sanitary)= al Qaeda(colloq.,sanitary)

One interviewer checked my site before I came in (and I knew it) and he said that they didn't hire pot smokers. He assumed I was a pot smoker because I was a Grateful Dead fan.
More accurate response:

My impression from the replies is that what you should do depends on the situation.
Against a theoretical very sophisticated non-bot attacker you'd just do nothing with the machine and instead watch the network traffic for clues.
So think first, about ways to stealthily collect more information, then follow the parents advice to make a bit-by-bit copy of the harddrive after turning off the machine.
Well, if had to make a database or class diagram, then, "chemicals" would include "atoms". Maybe I should just shut up, because you are right in all other respects about chemicals.
However, if a chemical is safe to use on the skin, it still can be harmful inside the body. Example: air. So I believe when I hear it said PEG is not safe (inside the body).
Well that reminds me of when I stopped playing Starcraft. I was used to games where it was hard to cheat, but it seems on Starcraft the usual way to play the game is with an all-visible hack.
So I sat in this game and my ally told me that he was seeing that player "kickmyass" was weak and we should I attack him. I figured I'd punish my ally for cheating, turned war on him, and wiped out his base.. Well one worker of him escaped and run TO OUR FOES, who offered him refuge, even though I told them he was cheating.. go figure;-)
Well, you could have some Monthy Python type executioner(s) run around on the MMOG, halt and ask people questions like "What is the speed of an unladen swallow?" and then kill them if they don't answer well, since they obviously must be a script if they don't know the answer;-)
If anything microbial survives on Mars, it would most likely thrive in out environment.
If a microbe came from Mars, it would probably get its ass kicked by our Earth microbes and would only thrive in some retreat. However, we don't know whether that retreat would be the human body or food sources. Doh'.
While some good stuff will come out this idea, I think that a lot of it is bullshit or rehashed existing ideas.
Now the one good thing I see is sharing computing cycles. But even to do this, you have to define the mentioned service contracts, so you'll end up with a lot of accounting ("micropayments") for who helped whom when. Of course, IBM would like to do that accouting.
Now this "self-healing system" idea that IBM is hyping everytime it gets the chance, isn't that just a rehash of Suns/Oracles idea of server-based software, or of autoupdates? All this sounds good at first, but you might remember a lot of software that was free and that was "updated" with a newer versions which was not free or reduced in capability. Or maybe the update just hogs more of my precious disk space - you'd die laughing if you knew how precious little is left on my OS partition. Not to speak of conflicts between updates. Or tons of conflicts like "cannot install Firefox because it conflicts with existing version of IE".
Now all this stuff about allocating resources for me, for example if I need more storage space.. How can I trust any free provider of storage space to be online at the moment I need him or at all? I might just as well steganograph my data into prn pics, and upload it on p2p networks, even that approach would be more useful.
Well, it will be nice to have some of this stuff, but I'd feel safer with the stuff that is already being made in separate projects, and being made in nice separate parcels that I can control.
Well, yes adult stem cells are very popular and according to the Pope, more useful.
However, embryonal stem cells might be needed for research into the workings of the natural proces of growing stem cells into different tissues and shapes(organs).
To adress the "just use them argument", I think it would be fair to grant the fetus that which can be done: full support for his siblings, even if it means in-vitro-fertilization so he can have siblings.
Re:abortions due to medical reasons.
This reports differently, that many abortions can be traced back to financial problems; Note that financial help also increases "support" and social acceptance.Though I guess the sample is far from perfect:

I don't think of financing some mothers as doing industrial scale embryonal stem cell harvesting, but only for mothers selected through a kind of lottery, and used firstmost for research, then for the rare cases where embryonal stem cells work better than adult stem cells (also cf. reversine).

Also, the gestures are a plugin to FireFox. So anyone could distribute them separately.
