You doubt but you don't have my moving records, now do you? Nice way to assume without thinking critically.
I have lived in all of those places. Sorry I actually have things to do with my life that don't involve me sitting in one state.
Oh, and it's pretty easy to see most police are inherently lazy. "Hey, I can retire with a Pension at 45" is pretty much all I've heard from police that took the job - that is inherent laziness to an extreme.
I work my ass off and I should be fully retired before I'm 35, burglaries and incompetent police officers notwithstanding.
You must not be playing on a good private server, then, as I've seen much better than what WoW does.
Also, no, much more is handled client-side - otherwise you'd not need to download gigs of information, you'd get it all streamed or remotely-rendered and displayed to you in a VT.
Actually do some deep-packet inspection, you'll see what WoW servers do/do not do.
And with that tiny amount of bandwidth that USA broadband users have, there isn't MUCH that can be handled server-side without the client first giving data to the server.
Talk to the creator of the client/server game model - John Carmack. There are current (mostly corporate) technical limitations that prevent this from happening mostly server-side as you'd think.
Sir, my apartment was robbed while I was out of town for a funeral. We came back, saw toothpicks in our lock, and immediately called the police. Fresh fingerprints all over the place and they didn't investigate SHIT, they took a statement from us and we never heard from them again.
I found one guitar behind my apartment in the bushes. You guys couldn't recover one damned thing for me.
All I've ever seen is uselessness from officers. From Texas, to Tennessee, to Oklahoma, to South Carolina, to California and Arizona and New Mexico. Every single one never gave two damns about anything but their foolish pride.
And those data files would be installed upon EVERY COMPUTER WHICH HAD WoW INSTALLED. Which means a legitmately-bought game could have the server protocol emulated, and it wouldn't infringe because theoretically everybody has the same WoW-sanctioned and installed patches/updates. (of course, there are pirates/crackers as the exception, but this is given.)
I doubt ANYTHING is handled server-side besides coordinates and flagbits. Everything else, from physics to animation, is done client-side, from locally-installed files (local as in you initiate the download and installation, not a game server.) To stream such insane amounts of information with the limited bandwidth of our connection speeds pretty much prohibits this. If we had 100mbit solid connections, MAYBE.
"I wonder how traceable a gun with no serial number is."
They've got serials stamped nowdays on most every part of a weapon. You'd have to file every part down at risk of reduced function in order to sterilize most weapons.
"Can't buy M16's or other full auto/select fire weapons off the shelf in the US."
Excuse me? There's a fully-automatic Browning.380 machine gun, fully functional with ammunition box, for sale in a pawn shop in Memphis right next door to the Hickory Ridge Mall.
Only thing you need is a Federal Firearms Permit and you can pick it right up off the floor.
"The top-heavy distibution of wealth in the U.S. requires more of a real executive's drug, cocaine, which is not grown here"
Some if it IS grown here, for pharmaceutical production. Live plant stock is provided by Enaco S.A.
I just provided them with a couple of hydroponic production sheds - coca is still quite legal and widespread in Peru, and the entire Andes mountain region has a huge market of coca teas, granola bars, cookies, etc.
Why? Given the shit concerning this site, one would think it would have been better for this knowledge to get out even faster so people would know to drop that site like a hot lava rock.
If only one would combine the LOIC with a brute-force script. DDoS + password stealing all in one.
Bet 4chan would shit themselves over that. While AES256 may take the universe suffering from total entropy before it got cracked, I bet with a good logistical separation and delegation of sections to attempt they could crack it.
Just simply brute-forcing it would take eternity. Use a little statistics and logistics, and some proper task delegation, I'd be willing to bet that a brute-force could be accomplished within a couple of decades. Sure it would be pure luck, but a little micromanagement here would actually help with the odds.
While I may not be one to use it that often, I do use it now and then, and I am quite aware of it. Those unaware of it have a very narrow focus and might wish to be checked for tunnel vision.
Man, the original AvP would make you shit your pants, then.
I remember playing that with a 12MB Voodoo2, SBLive! and quadrophonic surround sound using huge home theater 3-way speaker cabinets and two separate amplifiers for each speaker pair, front and rear.
Lights out, invite some friends over, crank up the game and watch them start screaming.

I bet you could find older games where some of those behaviors were already performed.
Copyrighting a behavior - please.

No, most bootleggers do so because in many states alcohol higher than 151 proof is ILEGAL.
You could, at the very least, WORK in the field in which you're trying to talk about.
I've been a bartender and I've talked to *MANY* 'shine runners in prison. They rarely make it for their own consumption.
"When was the last time you saw a browning .380 used by a criminal or confiscated by the police?"
Well, the Browning .380 ( I had my calibers mixed up) is a handgun. That's probably confiscated many times over the decades.
Actually, no. The Browning I'm talking about (just called the store) is a 1919A4 .308 (not .380)
Shows how much YOU know, sir.
Take a trip to the Andes, it's still quite heavily used in multiple consumer products, and the plant itself is quite legal over there.
Enaco S.A. is a government enterprise. Yes, let's see the DEA even attempt to piss them off.
"They would die-off like the bootleggers died-off after Alcohol was legalized."
Plenty of runners still doing business. We do have dry counties all across the USA.
If it's a Colt AR-15 you don't need to do jack to it, just smack it hard enough and you've got bump-fire automatic.

"but one could envision a scenario where the drugs were legal but cartels still ruled."
See Oakland and realize it's already happened.
Have you guys managed to make silicon LEDs with incredible output per watt yet or are we still hosed and stuck with sapphire wafer substrates?
Except wasn't the rumor now being circulated that Gearbox picked up the IP?
Actually, yes.
Micro peltier coolers, facing inwards for their heat side, with a micro heatpipe between.
We've been working on microfluidics for a while.
"There is no money to be made in figuring out how the universe works"
Teleportation? Possibility of warping space to move around the galaxy? No money, what?

This is why I do not use my name as part of my e-mail address.
This cuts down on that problem considerably.

It's called 'preview' and 'continue editing.'

"a constant 60fps, which is the minimum for smooth game play."
Never play games on any 8-bit or 16-bit consoles, eh?
Plenty playable at 25 or 30FPS. Plenty smooth.
