Thats a fantastic summation of the events which lead to SWG's death. I quit SWG around the time that they discovered the secret to becoming a Jedi and im realy sad to see that its continue to fall into its proverbal void.
Realy makes you wonder what pond MMOG developers creep out of these days, and why on earth someone dosent give me there job =)
According to www.wikipedia.com, Europes landmass is -57.43% the size of the USA. However it has +190,400,000 people (+103.22% people/km).
So to compare donated blood based on the land mass countries is pretty pointless, as u appeared to have noticed. Yet having a 'bigger' value dosent seem to be the reason why the USA claims it has more reserve blood per person than Europe.
Im not sure whats more sad; watching the MPAA act like spoilt children crying for candy, or that you gave some good honest feedback that will be ignored because "they know better"
Steal Audio pronunciation of "stealing" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (stl) v. stole, (stl) stolen, (stln) stealing, steals v. tr.
1. To take (the property of another) without right or permission.
In order to steal one must deprive another of somthing. Copying/duplicating does not deprive anyone of anything and is there for not stealing. Sadly, in you're media saturated, brain-numbing, 'do what the TV says' world its easy to forget to think for you're self.
The simple reason that the focus is on time investment rather than skill in WoW is not because the designers 'got it wrong' but rather an intentional occurance aimed at broadening there playerbase to more casual 'mom & dad' type players. Anyone can play WoW if you have enough time, this is good for some people, but sadly lacking for those of us who are seasoned gamers looking for a challange.
As for Ralph Kostler, Im realy not sure why so many people continue to blow smoke up his backside. The days of Ultima Online are dead and Starwars Online flopped. But I guess its much like the rest of the gaming world, its not what you know, but how you market it.
My statment was aimed at those who as a result of fear become "holyer-than-thou" vigilante types who go about 'fighting the oppression' by oppressing others, and propetuating the cycle of racism, fear and hatred.
Best way to defear racism is to break the cycle.
Theres a differance between believing people of various racial backgrounds are innately inferior/superior and recognising social and physiological differances that may contribute to the inderviduals ability to excel in a particular task.
To assume that "everyone is equal in every way" is nieve at best.
Your argument is non sequitur. You cant conclude that physicians dont earn more than scientists based on the colleration between physician and engineer wages.
Welcome to the world of scientific journalism where you get the highschool science entheusiasts or 1st year uni dropouts becomming "science" journalists.
That would depends on what aspect of maturation you are refering too. Humans infants are more 'mature' than alot of infant animals when it comes to developmental maturation. However the length it takes to mature into adulthood does take a while.
Dunno, your post just strikes me as an "im angry at the world, humans suck" rant with little supporting substance. Which isnt to say you dont have a point, i just feel its being expressed inadaquatly.
I for one am getting sick and tired of science rejects finding jobs as scientific journalists.
I can understand that they need to 'dumb-it-down' for the mainstream, but its 1 thing to simply a concept, and another to abuse and rape it.
Thats because cats develop at a differant rate to humans, and there for gain the facilities required for inderpendance faster than a human.
That and we cannot communicate with a cat as effectivly as a human, there for leaving more up to the imagination of the interperator, possiably resulting in the illusion that there is more going on than there realy is.
The question is proposed in referance to the observations which we recognise as representing consciousness. In order to understand these observations we need to understand what causes them before we can accuratly determine what "they" are. There for, we need to ask "what is the biological basis for consciousness" in order to answer "what is consciousness".
This is akin to asking "what is a car" without knowing the systems and components that are put together to create what we recognise as a "car".
Its one thing to point and say "thats X" than being able to identify Y.
You have a point. However children reduce the amount of disposiable income, and also the amount of time one has to play games. There for, these people are usualy not the within the demographic that the games industry is marketing majority of there games towards.
Either because; 1. The industry targets ages 25-35 because they have the highest amount of disposiable income? 2. The industry are evil peg leged pirates attempting to make parents lives harder and corrupt the youth of today.
Yes, I'm all for the swift beating idea =)
And supprising, once again that comes from our convict heratige. People are alot more careful about what they say and do in prision lest they want to be 'big-bruces' new bitch.
Generally speaking, were not self-righteous enough to believe we hold absolute truth which gives us the right to take the right to take the life of another.
And considering our convict heritage, an understanding and empathy towards the potential falability of the law is not supprising.
Those complaining about 'theft' and 'piracy' kick and scream like crying babies. Once they finished wiping the tears out of there eyes and blowing there noses using $100 bills, they lash out and attack the hand that feeds them.
If they cant behave in a manner that will earn my respect. Theres no chance they will earn my money.
I for one am glad the many (general public) are having such a sharp impact on the few (mainstream music publishers)
Its about time they woke up and realised, who, is serving, who.

I wonder if they will ever grow up?

Philosophy, science is a very new (18-19th centuary?) approach. Prior to that it was all considered "natural philosophy"

Someone lost there atlas and failed geography as a kid.
Its amusing/scary to see how many people believe that.

Indeed, just a sad attempt at social conditioning and hijacking the minds of the worker-drones,... i mean citizens.

Bingo, and thats part of how racism propetuates in todays society.
