I played it before they started their "get tough" policies and general copyright bullshit.It was a breaking point when
they started to ban players for hacks(even harmless third party hacks), Ruined the game with buggy patches(practically everything after 1.09)(damaged maps and third party software compatibility),removing useful glitches (the Death counter memory overwrite which allowed map manipulation on many levels,in real-time),they added spyware which downloads and executes stuff from blizzards servers,banned every chatbot and harmed binary bots compatibilities, added a new chat flood detection which banned alot of people typing 3 lines too fast. real hacks are never patched, they are simply evolving faster then blizzards patch processes. The exclusive WC3 clan system was designed to add value to Warcraft(and excluding any SC players from them) and annoy Starcrafters.
Actually one of the conspiracy theories bases of the fact that the maneuvers(in particularly the pentagon crash) of the planes can be explained by computer guided aircraft.The terrorists were bad pilots.
Stepping so low,and slashdot parroting it. Next up in news : How many licks it takes to get to the center of 9-volt battery and tic-tac-toe championship results.
Reversed Polarity is just change from + to - or south to north. Nothing magical about it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_cycle The physical basis of the solar cycle was elucidated in the early twentieth century by George Ellery Hale and collaborators, who in 1908 showed that sunspots were strongly magnetized (this was the first detection of magnetic fields outside the Earth), and in 1919 went on to show that the magnetic polarity of sunspot pairs:
* is always the same in a given solar hemisphere throughout a given sunspot cycle;
* is opposite across hemispheres throughout a cycle;
* reverses itself in both hemispheres from one sunspot cycle to the next.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway's_Game_of_Life Its a: 1.Zero-player game (everything is one rigid system) 2.It exhibits pseudo-random behavior. 3.Turing-Complete 4.A simple change in the rules changes the whole gameworld.
I'm afraid the Information Revolution cannot be stopped.You have to learn to live with the Internet.Information spreading in the blogosphere by copying is a GOOD thing. Resilience to censorship and deletion is much more important then your pathetic views on originality.
All these games are probably played by handful of dedicated collectors,but they can't compete now and they missed their chance to fame.Like e.g. Flying Saucer.
With Microsoft its a healthy precaution. And besides who in their right mind would use WHS for backups? That would be like using MSpaint to draw pictures.
Infinity is still far away.It can inflate, Until the dollars are worth less then paper scrap.The real value of dollar as commodity(as it no longer backed by gold or precious stones).
That like if you build something,you brag about how many passerbys you killed with bricks thrown from top of the building site and not finishing anything.
Of one of sliders episodes when drugs became mandatory (to control population and enchance human cognition etc) and being clear would be a crime. America could be heading this way.
Its like a karma at work:Most copyrighted stuff eventually goes extinct,while free information survives(if its popular).Given the rise of draconian anti-piracy laws in most of the world(and big business aiming to create more and more of them) the past movies would be as available as ancient manuscripts(in terms of number of surviving copies).
Never install anything executable,where you do not trusts the author. No single virus for all these years. and if you do really need something try http://www.virustotal.com/en/indexx.html
If these laws were a theory they would be subject to change,revision and improvement.You can notice this rarely happens.What was the last time Ampere laws were revised? The science has advanced in that field since Ampere.
The fundamental difference is that deceit can be found,tested,corrected and removed.Like wikipedia articles,just with more control. Bible just a copy of what the people wrote back then and redacted into a book.Its trusted by faith,not factual accuracy.Its cannot be "tested" because people would still argue how their faith is justified against all available evidence to the contrary.case in point : Intelligent Design, the people want to prove their faith using science.Its like building your house using spells.
Slashdot Mirror
The thumpa-thumpa (which neigbors are fond of)music is driving me nuts.
Blizzard doesn't care about it anymore.
Its like software project where everyone stopped contributing after major source revisions

I don't drink tea or coffee and i read it exactly like you.Of course i noticed it after reading few comments.

What if the simulation engines draw randomness from external source to prevent hard determinism in the game?

I was looking for free MMORPGs and found out this one. http://www.auteria.com/
Surprisingly it runs on Linux and FreeBSD
and only 100MB in size.
Its because WMP sucks.I use Wingroove.

Deeper pockets don't mean jack shit.
How much billions US spends in iraq?
You assume everyone copies and backups the CDs.Most CDs just collect dust.
Like my games back from 96.

You have ..umm a strange concept of sanity.
Its like flowing at 2 seconds per second?
