Regardless, it's all a big mess and brings to mind, more, the public bickerings of baldwin and bassinger than anything else. Modern politics is more the failure of ideas than it is the crusade of one side.
I am ashamed of all of them, and you should be too. Haven't you noticed that your government has been ransomed by elites on both sides? That a couple of families now hold the avenues to power? I can hear it now:
Bush to Clinton: "Good job. Nice beat. [Shakes hands]. We'll see next time."
[few years later]
Clinton to Bush: "Well done. I knew he sucked. Hehe, gg dude."

Clinto to Bush: "Ok, Hillary's turn. Jeb's still on for next decade right?"

Yes. I made a geek mistake in the middle of geek city. I honestly, and truly, never correlated the fact that the GNU mascot was, indeed, a wildebeest. I had even, in the past, remember reading the page on the creation of the image:
But, I believe thought every mention of "GNU" meant the software. I have never realized -- until today -- that a wildebeest was also called a "gnu" (pronounced "nu"?!?).

Because, from my understanding, the chemical fingerprint of the compound found in the serbian mine is the exact same as was labeled on the box of kryptonite in the movie. Therefore, the connection has nothing to do with kryptonite. It has to do with the chemical fingerprint.
That's like saying, "in the movie, kryptonite had nothing to do with a serbian mine. Why did the bbc publish this?"

No matter how the suit comes out (and I'm all for sticking to "the man") using a bot in an online game where other people are involved is cheating, and it kills the very nature of what the game should be all about for everyone: fun.
This is why I will never, ever, play another FPS, online... that is, a current PC-based FPS. Xbox live? Sure. No cheating there (yet) and that's good.
I have admined many game servers (q1, q2, cs) and worked hard to stop cheating with all the tools (punk busters, etc.). I even ran an anti-cheating game site years ago (anyone remember slipgate central? no I didn't run that, but one of my little sites was listed).
I also did an write-up on the zbot in q2. I installed and used it. I pwned players effortlessly. It was disgusting. I ran around gathering health and power-ups and the bot did all the work while the whole server tried to kill me. It was sick fun, but it's lame.
Showeq was the first big exploit for mmorpgs. It was lame. With it, the punk could get any unique mob in a zone before anyone else. How is that fair? How was it fair for the people without a 2nd computer, or without linux knowledge to set it up?
This article may be all about the legal ins and outs of who has access to what in ram, but the bottom line is, cheaters blow. If you cheat you blow. You're feeding a primal part of the human psyche at the expense of others and undermining the entire event. When it all crumbles and dies, you are to blame.
Using a bot to lvl or farm in wow is lame. Don't do it. Let this guy's work die on the vine....
My systematics professor told the story of a student who turned in a term paper one year, and as the professor began flipping pages, there on the page were his photo-copied marks that he made on the original paper the year before.
IOW, the guy had taken some other guy's paper from a previous year, photo-copied it, and turned it in as his own. I guess he had changed the title page or something, but didn't even take the time to _look_ at the rest of the pages to even see the markings.
Professor calls the guy in and says, "do you need to tell me anything about this paper?" And the kid is like, "I really enjoyed doing it." Professor is like, "anything else?" The kid catches on and says, "are you gonna give me an f on the paper?" The professor is like, "you're going to flunk the class and luck for you I'm not going to get you expelled from the school...."

Much appreciate the response. Seriously. Afterwards, I thought much along the same lines.
Although it is a prime example of the practice of lies having effect, I do agree that I should not have use it.

I stand corrected. It is a wildebeest. Thank you for clarifying.
