So, if both pilot and co-pilot die, which has a very slim chance of happening, someone only has to disable/disrupt/jam/take over the transmitter and know the protocol and encryption keys.
Problem there, is that you can't predict what plane will have both pilot and co-pilot die, and you can't be constantly ready to take over/jam/whatever every single plane up there.
What makes you think China is ready to push the nuke button? They were doing everything they could to get North Korea to stop pissing us off. China would rather be able to hold our debt to them over our head than hold nukes over our heads.
It's not like that, he rented no ship. What he does is pay for access to a server to use a series of ones and zeros. There are no 'ships' or 'bases' and you're not renting anything physical.
He could access the server and the game. And the people who own the server can delete everything in his account and he has no legal actions.
Oh dear god! If what you're saying is true, than trying to play music someone else downloaded from an online music store wouldn't work for people not authorized to play it! OH SWEET JESUS NO, THINK OF THE CHILDREN!
Moron. That's what they just took a step AWAY from.
Actually, if you do it right, you can be at level 60 in under 5 days of/played. There's a guide out there of someone who does speed runs from 1-60 (and now 70). I'm not sure about their time from 1-70, but their fastest 1-60 is like 4 days 20 hours of played time.
But you are right. If instead of WoW, I had done something else with that time I'd be able to speak a second language or play the guitar. But I played WoW and I enjoyed playing it. I've made some friends and had some lulz, and isn't that the goal of life?
I had the game pre-ordered for a year, and have played constantly since it was released. I had the expansion pack pre-ordered for a year, and play constantly. I'm not trying to be "conformist" in that I tend to solo quest and don't join guilds. But the rewards from WoWing are such that it makes me need to play. I also think about it CONSTANTLY when I'm not playing.
You posted as AC, though, so you're probably just trolling or something.
If your hobby was building little boats in bottles, and someone knocked your bottles off of the shelf, destroying or damaging them, you would be pissed.
His hobby is EVE, and they bumped his bottle, causing damage to his tiny ship.
Just because it's not real events doesn't mean it's not a real hobby.
I'm addicted to WoW, but if you get to me before I sit down and log in, I love going out and doing things. It's just that WoW is right there, and I get the rewarding feedback without ever having to leave the house.
They're designed for that kind of thing. Maybe not that speed, but yeah. Sink a pipe far enough down and fill it with concrete, and you'll stop some things.
Unless the seats were made from baby seal pelts and the outside was not paint, but a coating of platinum, I'm continuing to call bullshit.

Funny thing is, I've been.. my FRIEND has been running a pirated copy of Vista since it came out, and according to Windows I have a 100% legit activated ASUS OEM copy. I never have to activate, I never get nagged, and I can download all the Microsoft stuff that require WGA.
"It is very very easy, wrong parking should cost thousands, not a few measly 40Pounds."
For a second there, I was trying to figure out what "wrong parking" could mean. I mean, it must be a lot worse than parking in a no-parking zone, if it's going to cost Thousand$, right? Because "wrong parking" isn't violent and doesn't hurt anyone you should hardly be punished at all!
Some of the people defending laws against being 'anti-social' and defending dumb laws like "no parking between these signs between the hours of 9pm and 6am" and saying that people need to be punished more for doing less.. you guys really make me lose faith in humanity.
If you check the "Blizzard Friends" page, it thanks the people who were in their last beta, and lists 50 or so people in their current beta. I believe Starcraft 2 is already in beta testing.
If you predict that Q4 2007 will be the earliest the game will be out, even Q1 2008 is before the 10th anniversary. But what are you basing that prediction off of? Did you know that the game had already been in development for over 4 years?
Look at the gameplay trailer. If that game came out today, it would be a great game.
TheVede, from the PCGamer Podcast, actually saw the game at Blizzard's HQ a week before the announcement, and he said that the game already looks better than C&C3, that it looks polished, and that it's already being played in-house. He also said that Blizzard has learned that while the fans understand their "Announce the game, but miss release dates to perfect it" thing, most everyone sees it as a bad thing. And that with SC2, they waited until the game was up to their standards before announcing that it even existed.
I used XP since it came out, and got both Vista for my desktop and a Macbook Pro as a new Laptop at about the same time. Vista, to me, seems to be more.. idiot proof? You can't easily get to the network connections screen anymore, you have to open 2 other screens and find the small text only link to actually view your network connections. With my Mac, I don't know, the UI is beautiful, the apps run nicely, and it does everything I want. I've only got one complaint, and that's not Apple's fault, but there's not many games. Popcap games are fun, but I have to go to Vista to play 'em.
Slashdot Mirror
What the hell are you running? Windows 95?
"Infact, its the fastest running, most secure version of windows ever."
But, like you said, you can't run anything on it either!
Go before you leave? Have a series of tubes?
In before "What good will the internet do them?"

Oh, right, sorry. I forgot that it was the Devs playing in the EVE thing. Yeah, Devs should only be allowed to play on the test servers.
In 5 years we'll all be playing WoW2 or Worlds of Starcraft.

So, it "damaged his little ship" as per my bottle example. I didn't mean it literally.

The tone of your message along with the message itself lead me to believe you're just a common troll.

There should be a rule against that specific situation. If every WoW GM was in one guild, that guild would probably pwn the entire server 2-3 times.

"It was all linked together with a fiber optic network"
I call BS. Why the hell would they use fiber optics for that?
Funny thing is, I've been.. my FRIEND has been running a pirated copy of Vista since it came out, and according to Windows I have a 100% legit activated ASUS OEM copy. I never have to activate, I never get nagged, and I can download all the Microsoft stuff that require WGA.
WON'T SOMEONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN! - You
That kind of thinking could never harm anything.
That was the same question I asked when there was a slashdot story about the police in LA using UAVs to monitor high-crime areas.

I prefer Vista over XP, but OS X over both.
