Just FYI, if you don't have an internet connection (or you can choose so, I believe) you can set Steam to offline mode which won't do a phone home when playing single player.
I've already given that e-mail up for dead and knew when posting, some jerk would unscramble my e-mail address and post it, again. Thanks for proving yourself to be a colossal jackass.
My e-mail address received 0 spam until some jerk didn't like a comment I made and posted it unscrambled. Thereafter, and up to now, I receive plenty of spam at that address.
If you really must assign projects, insert subtle flaws or traps in the assignment that would make the project all but impossible w/out direct interaction with the Professor to clarify requirments, etc...
In what is one of the must stunning displays of idiocy I've seen in a while, you want to screw with honest students that try to do an assignment. That has to be the absolute worst suggestion I have ever heard to combat plagarism.
They didn't block off lower level characters. They just stopped allowing people who didn't already have characters on the server from creating characters there, just to witness the event.
Oh, let's go with QA testing on a myriad of different systems and operating systems modifying the actual library compared to some guy modifying some code already in memory, with no thought or testing as to what it might do to the thousands upon thousands of different configurations of systems.
I'm currently attending Full Sail and getting my bachelor's in Game Design and Development... so yes, it is entirely possible, and I plan to make a career as a game programmer (maybe designer, but I doubt it).
About 6 years ago, when I read Shakespeare in junior high, our books had the original play on the left page and a "translated" to modern English version on the right page. It helped out A LOT. Face it, archaic English is not in most of our lingual repitoires. It was great reading the original (trying to read, in some parts) and trying to understand it before reading the translated version. I don't think there's a problem with something like the version I read.
Now... if they're translating it to 1337, that's a bit different.
I played MMOs to craft, so I thought ATITD2 would be a perfect fit for me. So wrong, so very wrong. So much of the stuff is random (sheep spawns, metal spawns, farming growths) that it takes forever to figure out with no damn hits from anyone. I think that ATITD2 could definitly have been a great game, but it still needs a lot of work. I still supported it when I pre-ordered for 6 months... and then only played for 1.
Plus, you talk about PvE, but there is none. It's all just crafting and a social game.
Exactly. I worked QA as an intern and it was terrible. It was the most repetitive and boring stuff I've ever done. I would always be spending an hour making system images, scanning papers, or refromatting machines. Mindless work. It also didn't help that I'd routinely catch others slacking. All of this contributed to me hating my job for the 8-9 months I was there, and generally slacking my ass off. It didn't help that I'm a programmer and my internship was supposed to be coding related, but instead got stuck doing QA.
My internet was down for 2-3 hours. It went down at around 2:30 AM EST. I checked again at 5:00 AM EST and it was still down, but when I checked again at 6:00 AM EST, it was up.

GO ANTI-AMERICAN PROPOGANDA! WOOOOO!
Idiot.
Did you even bother to RTFA, what little of it there was? There was even a color-coded picture to help people like yourself that think that only America has problems. What, do you think all the people in other countries just sit around licking lollipops everyday and singing Kumbaiyah? Geez.
This whole argument is retarded, guys. It's like that asshole you know who when you say "I'm 100% sure." argues that there is no possible way you can be 100% sure. It's a retarded theoretical argument that does NOTHING to reality.
And, I had a friend from Mexico. I have a friend from Cuba. Neither of them called themselves Americans, because, hey, they aren't! One is Mexican and one is Cuban.
I agree that the lawsuits are ridiculous, but I was just pointing out when you're pointing a finger at the culprit who supposedly broke the law, the child would be the right one to target (after targetting the parent wasn't allowed).
Uhh... who should they target?

I'm reading a ton of comments saying that it's disgusting they're targetting a kid. They tried to sue the kid's parent, but coudln't, so of course they now need to go after the child that was the one that actually downloaded the songs.

Right or wrong, the child is the correct target.
