You know, why do people go to movies where the only thing they do is watch a movie? Or other things that count as entertainment? Sure, the botters are doing it very, very wrong, because if playing the game does not entertain you, then you should simply stop, but many people are stupid.

Actually, it is the other way round: There are a lot of customers Blizzard wants to keep doing business and hence has decided to get rid off about 1.5% bad apples that really piss off the other ones by breaking the rules of the game. Quite akin to banning people that post offensive content.

The only thing that may be surprising is the size of the wave. But that also makes sense because cheater-tech is usually bought by the cheaters (most cannot code themselves one bit) and if they were to bann often, cheater-tech makers could easily determine what Blizzard does to identify cheaters.

To set a theme. Never mind that the "War on Drugs" has not only been an abysmal failure for nearly a century and that it has excessive damage in addition. These people are evil, but they try to pretend they are the saviors of the human race, hence the abuse of language.

Hence banning mobile phones may be not the cause of the better results. Correlation is not causation. Causation needs specific, strong supporting evidence.

You do not animate - I ignore.

You people have overdone it and are now earning the fruits of your rampant greed and impertinent intrusion. I will go so far as to install firewall rules to get rid of your crap.

They are getting immunity. That protects them against being prosecuted for _crimes_ they have committed. What prison guards do is not a crime as long as they follow their job description. For the police to execute a legally obtained search warrant is not a crime. Doing surgery with proper authorization from the patient or under emergency condition and with the proper authorization to do surgery of the type done is not a crime. None of these things require immunity, just exceptions in the law. Immunity means you can break the law without consequences (often retroactively), not that there is an exception for what you do in the law.

Really, have you even looked up what "rule of law" means? Because you certainly do not understand its meaning.

Indeed. And the law has become a tool of oppression, not of justice.

Quite obviously so. Otherwise, if what they were doing was legal, they would not need immunity. This also means Britain does not have "rule of law" anymore, because with that everybody is subject to the law. One more step into the abyss.

First, the only one seeing "static modeling of economy" is you.
And second, you sound confused and very much so.

I am aware of all this, and you are right. Even getting real 16 bit is tricky and forget about doing it really fast.

As to mistaking sample frequency and output data rate, while I did not read the data-sheets, if you look at the first page of the one for the ADS1675, you find "4Msps", which should be 4 million measurements per second. You will also see that it has actually up to 32Mbps I/O data rate for its digital interface. If I read this right, they already do 8x oversampling (hence you can _read_ in fact only 500k measurements/second) and are at roughly 16 bit resolution due to noise. And no, I do not know how they manage to get this number of measurements from the signal the sigma-delta modulator gives them at these "low" clock rates, but some advanced trickery is clearly involved.

Now, I might have misunderstood something here completely, if so, please enlighten me.
