I had the same though. I quite EQ right after LDoN was released, and I miss it terribly. I've gone back a couple of times, but it feels cold and empty.
If there were a way to preserve not just the game world, but also the community that went with it, I'd jump on that in a heartbeat.
Citation please. If mere darkness causes insanity, then what about the blind? If quietness does it, what about the deaf? There are deaf/blind as well, they don't go insane from lack of stimulation.
While I have no doubt that psychological torture is real, the idea that you can just thrown someone in a dark room adn they'll go crazy is pretty silly.
I firmly believe there should be no regulation, at all, on adult ownership of firearms - but lasers like this should be extensively regulated. You have to be actively doing something obviously stupid to hurt someone with a firearm - like pointing it at them and pulling the trigger. You can blind people with this thing without even knowing they are there.
Self-defense isn't even a rational use for this - you would likely sustain permanent vision damage simply from seeing the person you aim it at get hit.
You sure about that? I believe flamethrowers are destructive devices under NFA '34, but "brush control devices" are exempted - which look much like flamethrowers.
And something else --- the federal government was scheduled to give BP a safety award right before the Deepwater Horizon exploded in the Gulf. Governments are not immune to this kind of fuck-up either, but you can't decide to go with a different government next time.
I would also argue that once an application gets big enough that it needs that level of optimization, it probably needs to be rewritten anyhow, and you can afford to hire the best of the best to do it.
Fraud prosecution should be toward the individual in that case, not the company.
As for gas pumps, it isn't a bad this per se, but the government isn't needed there. If there is a demand for certified measurements, then a certification company will fill that need.
Facebook has grown organically from a very small site. If you had to write Facebook, knowing that it would grow to the size it is today, would you use PHP?
I'm aware - I'm not saying that using a framework is great idea for a highly scalable system, only that CI is probably the *least bad* of all the PHP frameworks.
And honestly, if you're that concerned about scalability, you're not going to be using PHP.
I think it would be better phrase "It allows you to be more confident in your application's security". You're semantically correct, a developer's level of concern for security shouldn't change.
The only legitimate job of a securities law enforcement division is to protect investors against the specific crimes of theft, fraud, and breach of contract.
I believe Ayn Rand herself argued that taxation to fund contract enforcement is not a legitimate use of governmental force, but that the service should be provided on a percentage-of-transaction basis, and used as an optional means of generating revenue.
God self-references as "we" multiple times in Genesis.
Genesis 1:26, KJV:
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
I beleive that would be "Elohim" in Hebrew, though I am not really very well read in that area.

If that is the case, why have they not done it before?
What do they do about the unlocking vector we use to unlock 4.0.1?
It's quite common. Many earrings and jewelry are marketed as "nickle-free".

And Germans might say "Halb-sieben", if I recall my elementary German - "Half Seven". Meaning, of course, six-thirty.

Not only is it not default, it is kind of a PITA to use. Even when it works, you have to click in the status bar --- It isn't worth the hand movement.
Can you cite your source on Bush Jr.'s quote? I've heard it referenced, but never proven.
That one has already been amended out. Following the process we were talking about...
And something else --- the federal government was scheduled to give BP a safety award right before the Deepwater Horizon exploded in the Gulf. Governments are not immune to this kind of fuck-up either, but you can't decide to go with a different government next time.
Are they still well-respected?
To quote GP, "Citation, please?".
Your opinion has no bearing on reality.

You're missing the central part of that - it is opt-in. If you don't want government contract enforcement, you don't pay the fee.

Kohana's documentation is giving me a server error. CI's major features is it's documentation. No thanks :)
I believe CI 2.0 will break compatibility with the PHP 4 tree. Why is waiting until the next major revision to break compatibility a bad thing?
PHP 5 adoption is taking a long time, too. There are still webhosts that only offer 4.3.x. They suck, but they're out there.
CI is probably the best at not adding layers and layers of cruft of all the frameworks I've tried - with the possible exception of Django.
Then again, i can think of several high-traffic sites using Django, but not of a single one using a PHP framework...
