there is a difference between errors in advertising material, which gets people into the store, and errors in tags which only confuse people who are already there.
so instead of getting onto a plane, taking over, and suicide attacking a small number of buildingd, you and 20 of your craziest friends can storm an ATC tower and do an aerial zerg rush on the city, then escape in the ensuing mayhem.
there very much is a difference, a stream keeps going if the data doesn't make it and the client is expected to resynch itself and pick up when it gets the data stream again. a copy is when the server goes back and resends data at the request of a client.
more focus should be placed on "special" items. rather than a +77 amulet of YOU ARE GOD, let the player buy a wayfarers amulet that, outside of certain negative magical influences, as determined by the GM, points the wearer in the general direction of whatever he or she is looking for.
or an echo pendant that allows casters to repeat any one spell per day, at the same player rolls. or a forest amulet which allows the wearer to be invisible when motionless in the forest,
if you are going on a magical adventure you should find, you know, magical shit to use, not stat buffs.
slots exist in MMO's because a computer tracking 5000 players at a time doesn't have the resources or intelligence to determine what makes sense together.
nobody wears two pairs of shoes, but strap on ice claws, snow shoes, and roller skates all exist.
and plenty of people wear more than one thing on their hear, body, arms, legs, or hands in cold weather. sometimes even multiples of the same such as two sweaters.
one of the jobs of the DM is to tell the players "No" another job is to smack around the jackass who gets as close to a "No" on every stat.
there usually is competition, at least between the cable co's and the telco's, then the telco's have to allow other people on their copper so there are smaller competitors in that field as well.
would you like to roll your [fake identity] skill against the russian mob's [hunt you down and kill you] skill. since you had to give them an address close enough to get the money all your rolls are at +1 and all their rolls are at -1.
it's not legal, no judge in the land would uphold those terms, ESPECIALLY not on a consumer service which completely lacked any actual signing or contract negotiation.
if ANY company tries that shit with you the best course of action is to politely or impolitely as you wish, instruct them to choke on a bag of dicks.
you use a temporary hash of the IP in memory, which is then assigned a serial number and the serial number is written to disk, logs would not identify matching IP's from day to day, or whenever the list of IP hashes was purged, but it would identify the path users take through the site over the short term.
another way is to require cookies to use the site and log the cookie serial number, obviously users can defeat that but both meet the need for short term tracking without creating a searchable log.
If a phone that's supposedly "off" can do that, why do you think they can't make it so that they can still track you while the phone is "off"? Monitoring battery usage isn't exactly an exact science, and not everyone has access to electronics that can tune to GHz signals that cell phones use (and good luck discriminating it against background noise). For now, we can remove the battery to be doubly sure, but what stops them from installing a "backup battery" that can't be removed short of de-soldering connections?
i thought everyone had a pair of poorly shielded speakers or a chinese-made alarm clock handy? for that matter the right spot on my keyboard and my computer goes nuts every time the phone does anything with it's antenna.

R/C airliners is ahorrible idea.

lookout also uses message history in determining what to autocomplete.
much of that paper loss is to small companies hired at exorbinant rates that are owned by execs in the larger companies.

remember, those numbers are not "of the internet population" it's "of the internet population infected with alexa toolbar"
and the more savvy uninfected users are more likely to do serious business over the internet.

early models did flash, or more specifically, batteries could only power them for a moment before they needed to "rest"
"Moderators are multitasking" is now a meme
