Remove the gold. It's as simple as that. Koreans are finding it a profitable enterprise to do gold farming, therefore they don't just play for fun, they play for profit. And by gold I mean - anything that has to be obtained and increased through a tedious time-consuming process.
So you're encouraging old people to commit crimes? Because that's what happens when you remove the deterrent factor is that others see the precedent that is set and they follow along.
You know, when peaceful anarchists fail to make themselves heard, that's when the violent ones take over. The lesson here seems to be that in order to make a difference, you need to shed some blood. (I don't approve or agree with it, but I'm just stating my observations here)
doesn't xp already have remote assistance? but the point is that often i support people who are either hopelessly firewalled or not even connected to the internet. all you have to help them is your voice.
For myself it is difficult to support because the interface is not consistent. When you do telephone support it helps when the screen that you see and the screen that the user sees is the same. Instead you have the start menu items that move around, the drop down menus that auto-hide, the control panel that comes in 2 default configurations (I usually ask if they see the blue screen or the white one)...
No doubt commenting is going to be tied to your Gmail account. This would also be a good opportunity to weed out all the spam bots in gmail, maybe have a karma rating for every google account even.
Then why play along? Why encourage people to add on riders to bills that have nothing in common with them? Why continue proving that gaming the system works?
Ah. An old-timer I see. Well today's situation is really quite different from those days. Not so much issues with legacy hardware since people have started retiring equipment from the NT era, (wireless is still a pain due to it's unpredictability though), more control available to the administrator overall, more vectors via which security can be compromised (you try to run a SOHO without internet access nowadays, or demand that people block access to thumbdrives even). Yes, you're not really describing the situation on the ground anymore. XP doesn't have to be a "horrible time sink", not if you find the tools to do what you have to do.
I can't tell if you're trolling or your company really bought a bunch of XP home or vista home licenses to use with a windows domain environment. If you would put in the money to get pro/business, you'd see that most of the tools available to manage the desktops and the servers are identical, from security policies, to management tools, to single-sign-on accounts. So the moral of the story for you is, stop being cheap on the desktops (if you're a microsoft shop that is)
Their kid's pictures! pics of their own rooms! Stuff that doesn't synth at all with anything else. I'm thinking most people miss the point of the project.
I remember the strong naval presence in the first gulf war diverted alot of iraqi troops. Whereas nobody believes that they were strong enough to fight the allied forces, it is true that it saved at least many iraqi lives, simply by putting them in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Can you actually protect a web page under any form of license? Even Creative Commons? It's as good as a shrink-wrap EULA, I didn't agree to his license before reading his site.
What would be interesting is if somebody bothered to get the opinions of everyone before going out and stating their position on an issue. Would that be so hard to do?
What Apple could legally do is to reduce the price of the hardware, and correspondingly up the price of the software. Whereas anyone buying a new Mac wouldn't feel the difference, someone buying a new copy of OSX (standalone, if such a thing exists) would have to pay much more.

I'm just saying that when you make free speech an exercise in futility, then only violent people get their say.

Is it just me, or did they stop growing the Library of Congress?
In a day and age when athletes are bought by the highest bidder to go and compete for them, you're asking for them to take the moral high ground?
Step 1: declare a song for Tibet as your (temporary) national anthem ...
Step 2: win olympic gold

And I've seen a chicken groom himself in the reflective surface of a car door. Wonder what that means?
Due to "Hollywood accounting" Fox may not receive as much as they hope to get, though.
Apparently it won't. People who use Server 2008 say it's a great OS.
What needs to be done is to burn their fields preemptively. You know, just in case.

I hate to say this, but you belong to the group that doesn't get laid. But then again, so do I. :-(
