Though honesty is important as well. Google's motto is do no wrong, and I for one am inclind to believe them. Microsoft has burned me one to many times for me to trust them. So far I still trust Google. Just like I have a few close friends that I would give them the keys to my house if they asked, I see nothing wrong with trusting certain coperations over others.
It can't impair Obligations in Contracts, but is this really an obligation, I don't know. Ultimatly its a contracted scam, and states do have laws to deter swindlers. Real estate contacts for example, in Florida your not allowed to offer a contract to purchase land that is in a flood zone. In some other states you can.
What I find interesting is that the researchers themselfs starting taking about how we need to follow the Kyoto Protocol. Its sad that its so hard to seperate the research from the politics.
Clients can compute physics for their nearby surroundings just like GTA3 does now. Positions and stats of objects should be all the server cares about really. Obviously you have to build in some method to detect cheats, I guess having multiple clients do computations and vote on correct answer would be best. But I leave this to an exercise of the creators. Sadly every game I've heard that starts out promising client side computations ends up changing their minds during development, so it may not be possible.
True, blue Blizzard staff still has a lot of independant control. Thus the F rating may apply to most of Vivendi's property, but may or may not apply to Blizzard itself.
Well potentially you can find some government willing to trade food stuff for minerals. Though eventaully you may have a colony on a teraformed Mars that doesn't rely upon Earth whatsoever. Of course there will be huge fights over the fact that Earth governments spend X trillians of dollars Terraforming and they feel they own it then.
In the post it states that customer support told him that you can't transfer accounts, and if you do some information is retained that would allow the original owner to steal it back whenever they wanted.
Yes vivendi is the producer, but I still Blizzard is in charge of the servers and accounts. Vivendi has many problems but I don't know if this is one of them.
Great, except that it wasn't Microsoft that made PVRs impossible to profit from. Microsofts PVR cost way way more than a Tivo. It was the cable companies and their generic brand PVRs that did this.
If you were to make a 10 horse power car today with modern engine technology it would be in the hundreds of mpg.
But a car with modern style tires and AC, no matter how light and efficient the rest of the car is, will need much more than 10 horse power just to make it move.
I believe they use RSA encyption for signing, but they don't sign the entire message, instead they sign a hash. Is this hash based on the same methods and exploitable?
Sorry I should have been more clear. If you raise taxes to an extremly high level implied by parent post, you will drive away new companies, and possibly cause existing ones to relocate.
As there is free trade across state lines, companies would move out of California if you raised the taxes. You realise companies shop around for tax rates when they decide to set up shop don't you?
Read somewhere another state is doing something similar where there is a device in the car that tracks milage, and then when you pump your gas it gives the information to the gas pump, which taxes you for the milage. I don't know how anonymous this is, but it definatly doesn't give location information, just milage. Seems like california could do the same thing though GPS would be a bit overkill, maybe it could have the additional advantage of not tracking milage outside of california, which can easily be computed by a GPS unit.
Never had these problems with NewEgg myself, but don't order from them very often as they don't take PO orders. Either way I buy almost everything from mwave.com simply because they have bent over backwards for me, several times when I screwed up the order, and we arn't a huge purchaser maybe 5 grand a year total.
Hell one time I accidently ordered too big of a heat sinks and bent a capacitor which fried the motherboard. They took it back for credit even after I told them the truth. (Of course don't expect such treatment I think I just got lucky on that one)
This happend during the previous administration too. Its really a funny situation where free markets would have worked, if it wasn't for the pesky problem of much of every teclos assests exist because of government grants.

David Jones is the "creator" of GTA, he left the company before GTA3 (not sure if he was involved with GTA2). He also created Lemmings.

Yea it is lame, I came up with it during early BBS days when I was in middle school. It just kinda stuck.

Wow, that really leaves very few names, especially when they can't be partial sentences or Titles.
I hope MindStalker isn't considered offense?

The guy was joking. A bad joke as it may have been, I believe it was intended to be humourus.
You can't even get DirecTV Tivo?
Great, except that it wasn't Microsoft that made PVRs impossible to profit from. Microsofts PVR cost way way more than a Tivo. It was the cable companies and their generic brand PVRs that did this.
Heck, I routinely tape (VHS) shows so I can fast-foreward through ads.
You go through all this trouble and you havn't gottena Tivo yes, cost in time savings alone not to mention tapes it would definatly be worth it.
The Model T also had less than 10 horse power.

sha1 and md5 are generally considered so weak that they should only be used to combat error or accidents, not fraud.
Not untill resently they wern't.
Btw anyone know what hash GPG uses for signing?
Sorry I should have been more clear.

Chuck Schwab? The Chuck Schwab? Geez Chuck, get a clue stick! :)

Definatly wasn't one of Al Pacinos best. But compare it to the rest of the crap that year, definatly the winner.
