    Here is my reply to their statements:

    I contest you took part of the assets I pay for as my SOE subscription, to abandon it as a pretending free service. Shall I sue Sony about that?
    Even critically, you straight tell me there is no team to fix bugs and hence this service may as well be subject to data breaches, like the one your fired security team failed to fix in may, and caused six weeks of unavailability and caused critical data like credit cards numbers, passwords and private user data to leak in pirates hands?
    Sorry, but as a paying customer I demand you continue to provide the services I pay for with the corresponding assets being maintained, fixed and securely tightened.

    Greetings leagris,

    Thank you for contacting Sony Online Entertainment. Unfortunately, since the EQ2 players site was converted to a free service, there is not a team set to maintain/update the site. We have no ETA when or if a team will be added to maintain/update the site. We are sorry for the inconvenience that this may cause. If you have further questions, feel free to contact us.

    Session tracking really need new standard and some merging with the HTML5 client side storage. This with clear client enforceable client policy, server and DOM standard way of reading the access and store policy settings.

  9. Intelligences are a kind of many abilities on Better Brain Wiring Linked To Family Genes · · Score: 1

    Genetic may gives patterns and draft how one may develop some of the many kinds of abilities and qualities.
    There are no such thing as useless or valueless quality a human can have in the void. All these get values or weight from the social and cultural environment. As for the physical smartness/cuteness you mention. It show it's value in the kind of society that value it as some visual/perceivable sign of other expected qualities. And these expectations are strongly rooted to culture and surrounding dominant genetic heritage.

    Some genetic patterns may be considered as bad as disabilities or illness, like 21 trisomy in most if not every where in the world. That as an extreme example of maybe strong or evident consensus still enlight the fact that, 21 trisomycs show some very uncommon and strong social abilities, and the kind of intelligence and smartness they develop is only a weakness in front of the dominant other kind, as a matter of incompatibility. In a world where natural selection would have reversed the majority with 21 trisomy as the dominant genetic pattern, the other kind of here considered healthy would certainly be the disabled and mentally ill then.

    Os has still the release unallocate as root rule but has to go through firefox to read/write/alter any data in that storage area.

    Application B want to installs and request its own storage areas to the OS.
