I can't imagine CIG will do this given the tenuous situation they have already placed themselves in. they need the player base happy while they go on year after year and if they do this, the peeps will not be happy. It is really just how much do you think we can get away with, and the players...

Is there a simple piece of equipment one can purchase to do such a test himself? I plan to be moving a couple times in the next few months, and if I could test the DSL lines before moving that would be important to do. Hey, this is cool: http://speedtest.att.com/speedtest/ What sort of...

Bandwidth and the demand for it has almost nothing to do with this problem. This is not a case of supply and demand. The question is whether providers should be allowed to artificially create scarcity to drive up costs, by throttling specific customers they think they can then manipulate to...

Great stuff. Thanks for this call to action. I would like to add just one small explanation. This is not a case where capitalism fails and we need regulation. It is because this situation is not an example of free market capitalism it needs regulation. Normally, competition between...

You have busses up there? I thought y'all had dog sleds. Aren't there dog sleds? I'm so horribly confused. Next thing you know it will turn out Celine Dion is actually from Illinois.

I think they need to be photoshopped into the back of a Hoplite, along with some dancing girls.

Awesome on a pallat.

This is less annoying than a mosquito bite, and I will not recall by tomorrow how Han was acting out. Today however, I recommend he brush his teeth with the strongest Hemorroid treatment he can find because, well, that really does form a funny image in my mind. Ragequit? I am laughing at this...

I read the first sentence of both the above, and that is all I am going to read. I do not pander to the intemperate. I suggest you both refamiliarize yourselves with the rules here in the forum. Especially you, Han. You came to this thread looking for a fight, and that is not what TEST is...

I thought I would make a joke about how we could use this pic for TEST recruitment by replacing the graphic on the tee, and the irony of putting the idea in this thread would tickle some fancies, but then I checked in TinEye and found there are almost 10 versions of this pic, each with the...

Don't worry. I forgive Hans his little episodes. Fear not, I have lots of friends who don't feel his way so I am not upset, and hey, there is something going around--maybe the seasonal change, maybe the pollen in the air--that is making lots of people act like dicks. (Doesn't really matter if...

Gee thanks for sharing. Just bear in mind that the reason I may sound like I know what I am talking about, is that I do know what I am talking about. I have dealt with IPs for more than 20 years. My company has several new patents that will be pending in the next few months. My twin brother...

I haven't done anything like that. What I have done is note you have been told now several times, that since you took an intellectual property that does not belong to you, and tried to make money with it, you have no legal recourse such as you asked about. I did not call you any names, or cast...

I can't imagine anyone winning a suit against WMG after taking their music without paying and using it to earn money. The fact you are confused enough to think you are in the right makes me wonder what is with that, and whether you will draw attention to any other ill-gotten gains. Maybe a...

US Intellectual Property law is amongst the most enlightened and fair in the world. People who earn a living by creating intellectual properties will tell you why and how this is. If you are one of the children who grew up in the digital age where intellectual property theft has been...

Maybe so, but that is not funny. It is rather the basis for human civilization up in the Great White North. Imagine the horror. . .were there really no decent beer! The sheer and utter depravity of the thought!

There is no finer beverage in all human history, that compares even in the least with McMinnimin's Terminator Stout. I do not know if it has ever been bottled, but I would not so profane the sacred as to buy it that way. Leave skunky beers for the Canadians, and real beer for those who demand...

Avocados launched in atmosphere at fractional c immediately turn to plasma, and form the basis of the "Sear Gun". It is a little known fact that avocados are the primary ammunition of searguns, which contrary to reports burn virtually instantly through most armors when formed into a shaped...

I'm still lost. Isn't the point of doing this, that you get LTI on a starter ship and can then apply that to other ships? In other words, if I buy a $40 starter game package on each of 10 accounts, and gift the ships all to one account, then melt them all, I have $400 purchase ability on that...
