100000 years ago? Sure you would. Creatures that a Homo sapiens sapiens (i.e. all of us, presumed) would certainly recognise as human appeared 160000 years ago (Homo sapiens idaltu) nay. YOU would, and they wouldNT. observe the stressing of the words please.
as homo sapiens sapiens, you have knowledge of the past, and ACCEPT and recognize other earlier homo sapiens species as from the same specie. you accept them as human. they, on the other hand, would probably intimidated with your posture, stance, looks, behaviour, the way you talk, the thinness of your voice compared to their coarseness, and shun you.
probably same will be valid for future 'human's. today's 'human' would probably shun them and get scared or intimidated of them if they popped in our midst.
the human species is very likely to go extinct thats absolute bullshit. there is NO reason that that should be as such, even if the universe is a vr simulation.
what you call as 'human' today would not recognize another 'human' from 100.000 years ago if he was put side by side with him. same goes for a 'human' from 100.000 years ago and 500.000 years ago.
there is no such thing as 'human'. there is only 'current human'. the human of future will not be like what you take as human today, it will evolve as to reach what is 'beyond human'.
also, 'the committee' running the 'universe vr simulation' did not see any need to remove 'human' species from the game and instead made it evolve. that means it will go on like this. the other choice would be an utterly stupid waste of resources, even if digital.
congratulations on your extremely static approach to existence.
there are zillions of websites using already established and working formats. it doesnt matter what programmers, designers, lead developers in deep recesses of pompously decorated offices think - users are satisfied with what's on the web. and they are the decision maker. ms wont be able to 'push' anything to anyone by changing their site - the mere fact that they had to redesign their OWN site to 'push' their thing proves that noone cares for it in the first place.
its not 90s anymore. you cant 'push' anything to anyone. you have to do what the users want.
For something like this to happen, there should be at least an indicator of things to come, as some people having trouble with http access in any parts of the world. noone is experiencing this. additionally the only problem users are experiencing is due to some isps taking on the duty of being the internet police upon themselves and HAMPERING users.
economist have put piece of crap articles before. but lately, the number and frequency of such crap have started to increase.
We have formed a player association (the equivalent of guild in star wars galaxies) in 2003, just 1.5 month into the game.
despite it starting up with only 2 members in rebel side, and many mishaps and failures, went on to grow to 120 members (a major number for the bigges server in the game) and established one of the biggest player cities on the server. the group still continues today by hopping from game to game.
the idea is that it was a democratic pa with a solid constitution after the fashion of the republic, now in rebel alliance. was built on the idea of freedom, and all members had been recruited on these ideals and nothing more.
its refusal to accept Web standards, causing significant interoperability issues. you cant imagine how many problems this creates for web development/software houses, AND customers/clients/users.
interstellar civilizations exterminating their neighbors with relativistic bombardments, not from malice, but simply because it is the most logical action logical as establishing contact and engaging in various trade, just like our entire civilization, despite ALL our malice did during the course of last 200 years ?
that is not even an argument. thats plain idiocy. the "because it is a logical action" seals the deal for me - whomever gobbled up that gobbledygook apparently doesnt have any knowledge about recent human history. if it had been 'logical', we would have destroyed ourselves by ourselves 5-10 times already.
The only real way to combat this generation of downloading is to partner with the ISP's because only they can really throttle the connections and stop this. which would be isps that noone would ever choose.
i personally wouldnt choose no college that would be 'throttling' my activity on the net for whatever reason, and as an adult i would definitely not choose any failed isp that tries to 'throttle' its users for whatever reason.
its free market against mercantilism my friends. spanish have tried it in 16th century, as well as all other nations, it failed. putting a stranglehold on market by forceful or legal means and then selling overpriced goods never succeeds or holds for long. people are the market, its invisible hand. they find a way to adjust the prices.
this is the type of person i hate the most in those matters :
some people band together, try to do a charity, they put effort to it and realize it.
then some shitbags come up and say "hey, this is not something on top of the need list. you had better to >this
you know shitbag, those people actually banded together, and made an effort to fix matters for a change.
WHAT the f@ck did you yourself do ? other than "dont do that, do something else" blabber while sitting pretty in your office chair ?
WHY are you talking against some people who actually DID something, and not doing something on the matter you have spoken yourself ?
Why is it specifically in favour of 'Big' media companies? What is it that prevents this also helping out small media companies, and even individuals who create copyrighted works? because there is no concept like "small media company". they are small shops, whose revenues are totally unhindered by piracy or anything else. those who buy from them still buy, and those who dont know them, dont.
and there reason there is no such thing as 'small media company' is that, just at the point such a company becomes noticeably big, it either gets stamped down by big media companies, or bought out.
it never fails to stab from the back !! - no pal, this aint no troll, since THAT consistent score of stunts pulled out over whomever they dealed with in any manner, deserves a 45% crit rating bonus to ambush and 30% crit rating bonus to backstab !!!
Hubble is the only major accomplishment that's worth its salt nasa did in the last 20 years. I get amazed even when discussions of scrapping it come up or some people actually foolishly propose it. what hubble brought to human civilization dwarfs even moon landing accomplishment. and im no astronomer.
isnt it just pathetic when they try to put a thin veil on their moves out of pure greed:
Joining forces with Activision will create a stronger and more diversified company that we anticipate will benefit and strengthen both brands bullshit. checking on the q&a, one would think that there are totally NO reason for this shit to happen, since no actual physical merger of houses is going to happen, no combined work no other crap. so you are doing this move out of pure greed, nothing else.
this is the kind of news i want to see after a long hard day's work ! - bullies getting whacked ! gives me the goosebumps. it doesnt feel like christmas, but it surely has a taste of it.
I dont know which jerk modded parent troll but s/he should go in and reply to this thread to nullify his/her point. if s/he has a brain, of course.
in case you didnt understand, the parent is an excellent post on arrogance and self-centeredness of mankind. We are as such to the extent that we can think that an entire existence, zillions of galaxies in an expanding universe were created 'in the image of' and 'for' some obscure primate specie on a rim planed in a single galaxy. compare earth to milky way galaxy, and you'll see that even at this scale that 'in our image' crap is totally null. dont even dare matching up tiny earth against the entire universe.

not yet pal, just not yet. you'll see.
whereas 'throttling' or 'filtering' does not.
pal, you are forgetting that they are going to do it WITHOUT needing to PROVE that you have committed an offense in the first place !
it violates habeas corpus of personal property concept.

there are many examples that can be added to this list, which are games far surpassing others with their storylines.
Im REALLY wondering how are you going to rationalize this racketeering 'sales' practice employed by your beloved firm.
