Comment EEO bullshit (Score 4, Insightful) 553

This is one of the biggest bullshit laws I've ever seen.

Let's say I don't want to hire you because you're old. EEO laws simply mean that I can't say it in your face that you're old. Instead, i send you the standard HR rejection e-mail and we're all good.

Sight, I hate seeing my tax $$ going to waste drafting these stupid laws.

The server basically runs all kinds of calculations in real time to make sure everything the client says it's doing is accurate.

You buy the Shiny Gold Mace of Obliteration for 20,000 gold, client tells that to server, server runs the numbers to make sure you actually have at least 20,000 gold, said mace is available for purchase, the stats on said mace check with whatever is on the game database, etc.

That's part of the reason some MMOs have chronical lag issues, no matter how low your ping is. If all that overhead is poorly coded, players will experience lag, no way around it.
