Well the last 2 banks I have opened accounts with required a thumb print. More then a few banks require them for check cashing. I just looked it up, it is not a law.

Your prints are not stored, a geometric design made from identifiable parts of your fingerprint are stored.


Your making a big deal about nothing. Besides as other people have pointed out I can grab your fingerprints from your car door, or from a soda can in your trash. FYI your bank has your fingerprint, and odds are that your parents had your fingerprints taken at some point in your life as you are in college.

Really? play on a secured server, we have been running one since launch and we rarely have cheaters trying to look legit. Like 4 a year maybe, some people are just dmaned good. We get about 6 obvious hackers a year... Considering we are full almost 24/7 with admins on all the time I think we would see a widespread issue.

In addition TFII is not really hacker friendly with the exception of the sniper class. Aim bots are worthless on the majority classes, and the way most stock mas are designed wall hacks do not work well (tested and confirmed using blocking geometry). Spiky head models are an issue but VAC and sv_pure 1 servers which CRC check model files prevent those.

Ok can someone please explain why a cell phone with less power then this laptop costs around 300 bucks and that apparently still does not cover the mfg costs of the device hence the locked in contracts to recoup phone costs? Yet this laptop with an arm proc and a larger screen and more moving parts can be sold at 100??? The iPhone costs $179 to mfg.. Pre $138... g1 $140

You know someone at google was snickering at giving free WiFi to MSN....

The world is round, and we are in an economic crisis.


How is this news how Twitter is still pretending to be the dot com boom, where you can operate for a few years with ZERO revenue. Adoption rates, and usefullness are going down quickly with no way to monetize without breaking core functionality. Jumping the shark in t minus 4 months.


Now if he said how they plan to monetize that would be news, it is no secret they need to start making money and fast, the investors must be getting really really pissy currently.

Remember that EA does not Dev alot of titles mostly they publish other peoples titles, so on those titles they only spend money on advertising....

It means that Blizz is finally realizing that they have issues with levels... In order to make the levels better then the previous they have to have massive item inflation. In order to go to 90 weapons would have to start having plus 500 stats before buffs. This is not helped by the item stat inflation caused by arena seasons.

There is other bad math... "1 in a million chance" By my ruff calcs it is more like 1 in 10 billion..

I am not a lawyer... but,

Modern tort law states.
Intrusion upon seclusion occurs when a perpetrator intentionally intrudes, physically, electronically, or otherwise, upon the private space, solitude, or seclusion of a person, or the private affairs or concerns of a person, by use of the perpetrator's physical senses or by electronic device or devices to oversee or overhear the person's private affairs, or by some other form of investigation, examination, or observation intrude upon a person's private matters if the intrusion would be highly offensive to a reasonable person.

Unless this does not apply to LEO...

In theory you could expand this ruling to include monitoring of a persons latptop as long as they where not at home, to view connections made but not the actual communication, perhaps extending to his communication. Or even extended to snooping any wireless communication that can be received in a public place, even using basic encryption that is known to be compromised ie wep etc. (read below)

The argument which is kinda valid, is that the information of placing a tracking device can be obtained by following the person, hence the argument that it tracked him into a non private place IE his garage, while in theory a violation of privacy is still info that could be obtained visually from public view.

To me this appears to be spirit vs letter of the law issue. The letter of the law does make this type of tracking legal, but is that really the Spirit of the Law... I can see lots of loopholes extending from this ruling.

The King is dead, long live the King...

This is a no brainer, but it is not easy to create open enough worlds for players to be able to make thier own story/gameplay.

Wow for example is massivly hand holding and directed gameplay. Of course this will go down as the most popular game of all time.

Eve is ridiculously open, and the amount of things players can do in eve is stupidly large as all it is, is a giant sandbox.

There is no way that was not intended. It never would have passed QA...

What is curious is their reasoning, my bet is the safe search function is easily bypassed, and in MS search it cannot be.

exactly.

I loaded my wow main and it did not save ... I am a now a sad panda...
