Your bank account's balance is an entry in a database.
Technically no. A banks database only keeps track of how much of the green stuff they're holding on to for you. Your bank balance is made up of physical currency. That's why they hand you a little envelope when you make withdrawls and not a floppy disk.
Your WOW character may technically belong to someone, but there's no natural limit to how many times he could be replicated. On the other hand, insofar as scarcity is maintained artificially, there's no assurance that your character won't just evaporate one day and complete cease to exist. How much value do you want to assign to an asset like that?
Of course we should be making it better on taxes to hire American workers than foreign workers, and that doesn't just go for visa holders; we should be taxing companies that use outsourced labor overseas, too. If they don't want to pay the tax, they can move their factories and resources back to the States.
Or you could... I dunno.... maybe SIMPLIFY THE TAX CODE and get rid of these dumb laws which create these idiotic problems in the first place? How much longer do you expect to be able to keep adding bandaids on top of one another?
Won't happen. The only reason the populace hasn't overthrown the current government is because the tax code is complicated enough that people don't realize how screwed they are.
All software everywhere is virtual property. All databases are virtual property. All the information on a database is virtual property. Your WOW charatcer is an entry in a database. It belongs to someone. This is not a new idea. There's just a lot of argueing over who owns what.
RTFA? Did you RTFSummary? The point is that the password is reset but the reset doesn't get sent to the admin email as per usual. Yes, the attacker can't get the password, but the admin doesn't get it either.
So, you just need to reset the password again using normal means.
The pda Val Kilmer has in Red Planet is a nice presentation of the concept, just having such a tool means you would find all sorts of reasons to use it.
Also, by analogy, technically speaking, early farmers had no practical need for steel.
The steel plow allowed people to plant on land that previously couldn't be farmed. What does this iphone app do that hasn't been done before?
If the job is boring, routine and repetitive script it. Or hand it off to the PFY. Duh. How smart do you have to be to figure that out? Then find something more interesting to work on.
....or get downsized when they realize the script is more productive than you are.
If any HR fucktards get a hold of this notion, they will start to poke into the gaming habits of their employees to try and gauge how productive they are. Were you overheard mentioning that you liked Civilization IV? You need more tasks! We can't have people going home at the end of a 10 hour work day with enough energy to do anything for themselves! That would be horrific!
Not me. I play first person shooters and my boss decided I was over worked.
According to the pastor and all leaders of my church, if it isn't in the bible, it isn't Christianity. You'd think this is fairly self-evident but apparently it isn't to those that invented and believe in ID.
Not in the Bible? It's in the first verse.

Better yet hire 2 of them so one can can keep an eye on the other.

Personally, I find the entire concept of someone saying they own your stuff to be strange. Or, indeed, someone else saying they don't own your stuff.
It's called a rental. Why do you think you have to send them money on a monthly basis.

The MPAA/RIAA will only lose influence when the American dollar finally takes a dump.
That soon?
Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act is a safe harbor provision for providers of an interactive computer service. The DMCA does not even contain a Section 230.
The DMCA safe harbour provision is Section 512
Just because others do not care, does not mean that you should buy DRM crippled media.

That's all this really is - a fancy, visual Graphical User Interface, for a map.
That is not an insult, it is a compliment. The best ideas are usually simple at heart.
Exactly. The sad part is it would work just as well without the real-time video overlay. There's no practical need for this tech it's just looks cool.

If I were Freud I'd say you want to sleep with your mother too, but I'm not.
You're not Freud, or you're not sleeping with his mother?
Freud is sleeping with your mother......I had that dream once.
Um... the most basic units of the game are the workers, e.g. SCVs, drones and probes.
Oh, perhaps it is better for you to forget I said that...
It should be possible, in theory ,since workers could generate a small amount of damage in that game.
This is just a simple way for geeks to get back their lunch money.
Hey that's great now give me it back or you'll spend tomorrows lunch in your locker.
