They aren't struggling to provide realism so much as they are struggling to enhance "suspension of disbelief" The difference is almost non-apparent, but is key.

Correct, However Violating Sony's TOS and "stealing" the commission they would have earned... MAY be illegal. Sony likely finally talked to their lawyers and asked... "What do we need to do to Finally and permanently shut down IGE" And the answer was ~"1. Create Station Exchange 2. Sue IGE... etc/et al. 3.????? 4. Profit".
Now, tho not only is IGE Violating TOS, they are also "stealing" sony's Commission. Guess what. That puts sony on stronger ground to shut them down, or at least push them further off-shore. I expect to see sony take further steps to eliminate IGE from the pristine servers. IF not, perhaps I will need to find a new game.
RTFA, they state that they will retain non-exchange based servers for those who do not wish to participate in an exchange based economy. Personally I'm all for segregating the Ebayers and playerauctionettes to their own server and taking further action to keep them off the closed servers. If I want to group with a level 50 druid who just bought it, I can go to an exchange server. If I want to be reasonably sure that the person with the level 50 Paladin played it from level 1 I'll stay on a non-exchange server.
I tend to believe that it will cut IGE off. It will legitimize their attempts to cut IGE out of those areas. And, if you noticed the Exchange enabled servers will not be able to return to the no exchange servers.
The bible does not assert that the earth is flat. It asserts that it is round and hangs in the heavens
It says NOTHING about its location, and it may be the center of the universe. In fact, modern cosmology accepts that any location in the universe has equal claim for "centerhood".
Hares and coneys DO have a multipass digestive system. Giants are Real. we still have them today.
Actually intranet is closed internet(s) are open. For example some colleges have internets, the Us DoD has an internet, the DoJ has an internet. There is only one Internet, but many internets.
Actually what it comes down to is "Press" is not clearly defined in the constitution. SO since the internet wasn't around during the constitution. the bill is defining the internet as both press and speech. Nothing strange or unusual.
I live in MS, last year, I got a postcard informing me that a registered sex offender had moved into the area, The postcard included a photo, name, address and list of crimes.
I'm assuming from the return address that this was a mass mailing from the state. He lived in the appartment directly accross from mine. To my knowledge he wasn't attacked, harrassed or assaulted while he resided in the complex.
The real question is how do you prepare the Canadians before you serve them... boiled, baked, stewed, barbequed, grilled, deep fried. there are so many choices.
Thank you. You just opened up for my pet peeve. People turning off flourescents in high traffic low use density areas. It seems impossible to explain to them that turning a flourescent on and off 2x per hour for 5 minutes per time is more wasteful than leaving it on for the entire 9ish hour day.
I would have paid $50 US for a working c64. I'd prefer to get a semi-working one for $2 at a thrift store and refurb it for a couple bucks more. ALso on my list of items I'd pay $50 for(in person not on Ebay) are an apple 2e/gs possibly more for a complete gs kit, an acorn, and that other fruity toy PC.
1500 dead soldiers out of 200K+ over there over 4 years are dead thats ~375 per year, or ~1 per day. or 1 per day per 100k individuals. or 187.5 per year per 100k. If you assume that we are sending primarily poor minorities as has been alleged by various media and other organizations, it is safer to be a Black Soldier in Iraq, than to be an average Black Male between 25 and 34, which is the age of your average soldier. the CDC report can be found here.

SO now we have Station exchange.

Actually , it says circle, like a tent canopy, which at the very least, makes it a hemisphere.

There is also a time/means element to the fighting words statutes. IOW
if you Beat him up next week, Not protected
OTOH if you stood up from your computer, walked outside, hunted him down and beat him. you get off.
Because at 1000. the penalties for underpayment start, just like ... somewhere around 5000 the penalties for overpayment start.

And of course you meant to include links substantiating this and you just forgot. Right???
OR are you making stuff up and hoping to be up-modded.

Haven't they tried suing ISPs before and the ISP said go get bent and they(**AA) lost out in court?
If by decent, you mean got the names of most of the characters right, sure.
and if by above average, you mean better than Dusk Till dawn 2. sure. But perhaps you meant something entirely different.
Yeah, since everyone know tolkien actually wrote the LotR as be 6 books spread over 3 volumes. MORON!!
Well as another user pointed out 10K barrels per day out of the 20M we use is just so much piss or spit in a Hurricane.

And you are complaining, which would make you an Australian... I thought you criminal types liked the dark.

Does that make the process less impractical for the current patent duration?
