    I agree, being a REAL multi tasker myself, I can not allow myself mistakes that the report states we supposedly make...any time , on any day. I would like to see the list of people they used to do the tests, and see how many of them actually have jobs which necessitate multi tasking, or just declare themselves multi taskers.

    Computers are getting smaller, with chips decreasing in size everyday and the price for components dropping like crazy...you could have the equiv of a small pentium1 with internet and gps built into a small device like a digital camera, to be able to next time it links up with a computer (the thieves pc) it looks for an internet connection and sends the info to someone (cops by preference) so as to make a bust.

    The size keeps getting smaller, and I am sure in the near future, we will have chips implanted in our heads, that allow us to remotely access computer interfaces, and get info, or exchange communication GIVING THE APPEARANCE of telepathy, everybody will be chatting on msn using this new means of link up. Yet this is not that far fetched, but might be a bit hard to handle...chatting with a group of say 30 in a conference might lag your brain abit.

    I would have hoped that at least blizzard take a look at the long list themselves, and at least take some time to answer at least half of them...this seemed liked a hoax project, where the questions were controlled, and the environment was made to look like the questions came from the users, except most of them did not.

    Actually I do agree to an extent, if he wrote some personal code also using the open source code, or downloaded the open source code AT the office, then he is in violation because the Office is responsible for how the open source code will be used, if he uses it in THEIR code the wrong way, they get the fines etc...etc...

    However, if they have proof of what he downloaded that day, they did not need to raid his house, and would not have needed anything else, they were fishing is all, and hopefully found nothing, as someone once told me that if they have to treat you badly on the way out, it is because they realized too late they weren't doing enough to keep you there!

    Actually if the person who tries to log , logs in to fake page which redirects the user all the while capturing his keylogged info, then he would have a fake unavailable page sent to him, while the attacker has his keypad info, letting him access, and by the time that the whole ordeal is down with page loads and what not, the number has changed on those securid, thereby making the failed attempt obsolete, and starting new with a fresh key, so now you would have 2 log ins attempts, if there was a sort of ip address log, as soon as 2 separate logins were active with the same credentials but different key, then it should lock that account and send an email to the admin about what just happened, any admin worth his salt would take care of this, however I have seen many lazy admins and most don't even log ips with secureids...not cost efficient !!!

  19. To WoW R&D on Ask Blizzard About Starcraft2, Diablo III, WoW, or Battle.net · · Score: 1

    I am hoping that blizzard will be able to read this. I find that maybe the game market will change in the very near future, and that WoW is going to be lagging behind real soon, Star Wars will be coming out and everyone will want to migrate unless blizzard offers even newer stuff, not just making things easier on their players.

    My question is this, is there any possibility that blizzard might be able to add an bigger element to the REAL guilds for the classes.
    If we have a thieves guild in each city, that has both alliance and horde members, there could be a new element to the game that could evolve, such as introducing languages.

    ie- I am an alliance thief, I am able to communicate in thieves language (or duid speak etc...) and this allows me to communicate with horde thief. This could open up the economy even more, also you would have to do a whole slew of quests for the thieves guild
    in order to be able to get the speak thieves guild skill...and it must be kep up with ever ongoing maintenance quests. You don't just do a few quests for the thieves guild and say its over...they expect you to keep up the work over a period of time...so min 5 quests per month to keep your thieves skills of else you start back at start for getting new thieves skills..which could also include new skills...like pickpocket etc...

    I know (being a programmer) that you already have this capability programmed in the game, my question to you, is do you thank you could evolve a little more the class play and interaction within its class to expand on the game. quests, skills, spells, gear and even economy can now evolve.

    The economy would evolve that now the alliance thief has an item he can now sell to the orc horde thief, who can sell it to his buddy that needs that item.... this would make the game that much more interesting and alot more like the REAL D&D game ...!

    Because of the interoperability between apps is a lot more robust, and what I did NOT know is that you claim that OpenOffice was created by Sun and therefor should be able to tie into Java nicely..
    if this is the case, I thank you for at least informing me of one new tidbit I did not know, this might change my point of view a little bit, giving Java a much longer lifespan then I first thought
    however, I still think they are too far behind and might go semi-extinct in 5 years...with a few harcode fans still using it..

    >Calling it a scam isn't just insulting, it's dishonest, and you know it
    I wasnt calling Java a scam, I was calling the fact that it states it is cross platform a scam,
    and still is, because you need to download the VM for each type of environment, might as well just download wine and the linux framework, and can port all my .NET apps over to linux !

    So again, you do agree then that your facts are based on your estimates, and not an expert who might have more input then just YOUR downloads, or what you might have access to.

    I may be naive, but only in thinking that the content that is there is not just illegal content, alot of linux distros use the torrents for downloading, and as of today Ubuntu has 8 million users, so when they roll out patches or updates and what not, that is 8 million downloads (if everyone keeps up with their updates and most linux users do...) that would make alot of traffic for just one distro, and just one TYPE of download, I could go on to include people's personal files that is not illegal mp3s, but let's say some code for applications spread across a sourceforge.net platform using torrents...or maybe some family with their photos being downloaded by all friends of the family.

    I guess what I am saying is YOU might be naive in thinking the ONLY thing on torrents is illegal stuff.
