I agree with some people that the whole basics of RPG's have not changed. Most Online games no mater if it's Guild war, EQ, or D&D online-you still have to do some quests. They can be fetching something or killing something but you still have to do quests. And after a little while that get boring-you can sugar coat it with different graphics and sounds but it is still the same pattern. There are some games that are open ended like EVE-online and Entropia Universe but they have a big flaw too. That being the older player will forever have an advantage over the new player. Since their leveling is more effected by time those whole start early will have an advantage. In the end even those games have the same faults or should I say the same routines kill this, mine that, repeat.
I'm sure this is also understood. The key point here I see is that these people where able to pull of such an event at the cost they did. To me this also seems as a spirited event to prove that you don't need the government or big corps to do such things. I mean for fun this is great but it just might be the trigger to get other people/groups thinking on how to proceed with the next step.
Well one thing is you have bad and good cops. Second thing is training. Every state/district has its own training requirement for the police academy. Some 21 weeks other as little as 7 weeks. To be a police officer takes a lot of training. In other countries their police officers can go more than a year for the training-which I think is needed. You cannot memorize and understand all the laws you enforce in such a short period of time. Also you cannot be expected to totally perform your job after a few months of training-with that you get a bad supervisor and it all goes down hill. Lastly there should be a tougher policy on who becomes an office-and the ones who become police officer should also get paid a lot more.
The revealed details certainly don't justify a conviction, but they definitely do justify an arrest if there's sufficient evidence to warrant a trial.
You hit it one the nail. This is how the system works. The SA gave up the basis of why RamBam should be aressted-so now it will be up to the judge and such to decide what should be done next.
True, but it will be hard to leave the military after 20 year and hop into a civilian job. But one good thing the military does offer is the http://www.tsp.gov/ Which is like a civilian 401k. So not only will you get the retirement but you can have a little more.
P.s. If you are in America and don't think you are getting paid enough (which you are not!) go serve a few years in Europe, you'll like it.
Well just a note about the F-22...where is it? I mean we have 2 whole squadrons of them after how many years? And what of their fighting capabilities? We will never know unless we go to another war; come to think of it Iran still has those F-15's we gave them in the 70's so maybe we can test them there.
But drones and "war games' will never truly test the planes and the pilots. We can have all this speculative data the companies' sell the government but it comes to real world applications. Not lets see, the B-1 useless, B-2 useless, F-117 useless; now let see here the C-130 can't beat it, B-52 still working after all these years, A-10 still the best ground support out there. The F-16 and F-15 are still good planes and yet have plenty of life left in them and have many working modifications out there. Are military is just stuck in too much tape. I hope the F-22 won't flop like the other great planes we have invested so much money into.
It just like how Boeing screwed Europe, or actually a British aircraft manufacture, buy forcing the F-104 on Europe to win the contract. Too bad that aircraft is not good enough for NATO flying missions. Now all the NATO countries are trying to replace that ill fated aircraft with...F-16's.
http://www.project-entropia.com/ has been throwing around this idea and in fact had mentioned that they will be using in-game advertising. This would be good since it is a theoretically "free" game. As most probably know it is free for a little bit and you can't do to much with out eventually paying a bit. Any how it is another game brining advertising into play.
I take a lot of photos and I use photoshop to edit them. Now I'm not happy with going to a photo place with a and having them decide if the picture is too dark or need some more magenta in it. I know how I want my pictures. Plus with all the picture I take and keep; there are only a few I want to print. So for me it is better to print the pictures at home where I have the control to print the picture as_I_see them.
Do you think that a government chained to MS will say "Lets use a better documented and open standard?" Nope that open standard doesn't "pay the bills"
Not to sound cold, but you did the right thing. In this day and age when you have people abusing what humanity is left in this world. Also besides helping them out the redcross will do more than giving them so free stuff.
Yes but you forget this is America we specialize ( i know) in profits. Humanity what the hell are you thinking humanity doesn't bring in the cash. Maybe if you would have gioven PayPal a cut you wouldn't be in this mess now.
Being so close to the windows and Linux internals; what do you see are the major bridges that need to be built in order for windows and Linux to communicate more efficiently?
That's! I tell these people to go blow a hole in their head!
Why in some ones name do we have to keep increasing the punishment? I have an idea-freaking protect yo' shit!
Now, if you own a bank-leave the vault open, higher a rent-a-cop, and advertise that you have "easy access accounts" Ya' think you might get robbed? What if you claim to your insurance agent that you don't know about security because it is this new age idea of thinking and you cannot afford to better secure yourself?
You will always have crooks and thieves, even hackers-but for crying out loud educate yourself and spend a little more money and man power on you computer system.
Oh yeah-freaking pay your people better so they won't fall into the whole SE game.

A bit early maybe?

Eh? Attempted robbery can land you in jail right?

Why not use SuperGyro? Sounds the same if you pronounce it correctly ;)

they're chipping away at our civil liberties
Ahh I don't think there are any chips flying friend-it's more like huge freakin boulders being blowen away via explosives.
Lawsuits :-) for everyone! I bet is a law firm had stock, they would increase by like 5% right now.
You're REALLY new here then.
Ahh in case you didn't notice it is common practice to blame the current administration because the previous one wasn't so evil.

lot of people live in Massachusetts and that is a big thumbs up for open sauce.
Does this mean that Heinz and Kraft are giving away their secret recipes?
Phreak phish pharming?
Being so close to the windows and Linux internals; what do you see are the major bridges that need to be built in order for windows and Linux to communicate more efficiently?
Bah!
You just have to be more cautious and learn a bit more before you attempt anything. There_is_always a way around it.
That's! I tell these people to go blow a hole in their head!

Yeah one person "got paid" but this also strengthens MS resolve to patent everything they possibly can so this doesn't happen again.
