Online gamer killed for selling cyber sword

Hmmm, do I smell a book and a movie in that... -
I still say all of the above speculation that he's hiding something or there was foul play is just that speculation. The simple fact that it's being flung around like dung and law enforcement or the courts have not even acted on it should be a clue. You don't even hear the family members spouting that stuff out. Contemplate this if you will: Perhaps he loves her so much that he can't bare to see her in the condition she's in any more not matter who has legal custody. As for the 10 million dollars, can you image the court of public opinion if he sold his wife for that amount or any amount for that matter and that's just delving into the arena of flesh peddling.

Again we see another example of Science Fiction becoming a reality: WASHINGTON (AP) -- How do you quench someone's thirst when there is plenty of water, but not a drop of it is drinkable? quote:The Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, has been testing a device intended for the space station that would recycle astronauts' sweat, respiration and even urine into drinking water purer than any found in a tap. Sound familiar? Although the device to do this is big and not as small as the desert suit from Dune it's a step in the right direction.

LOS ANGELES (CNN) -- Famed attorney Johnnie Cochran, 67, perhaps best known for his defense of O.J. Simpson, died Tuesday at his home in Los Angeles. Looks like hell is getting filled up pretty good there goes another lawyer.

WASHINGTON (CNN) - High-tech reached the nation's high court Tuesday as Supreme Court justices questioned whether online file-sharing networks could be held accountable for copyright infringement. quote:For the justices, the debate came down to two competing arguments: whether software companies induce or encourage Internet piracy and profit from it, and whether computer innovation would be stifled under perpetual threat of lawsuit. Justice Stephen Breyer pointed out Xerox copiers, videocassette recorders, iPod music players, and even the Gutenberg press had the potential of abuse by consumers: "In each case there could be vast numbers of infringement illegal uses," he said, but he added that the benefits to society from those inventions were incalculable. Justice Antonin Scalia wondered whether innovators would be punished immediately after creating a new product if the entertainment industry had a legal veto. "If I started a business now, how do I know how to proceed?" he asked. "If I'm a new inventor, I'm going to get sued right away." "There's never the intent to break the law when the guy is in the garage inventing the iPod," added Justice David Souter.

From what I understand from the news last night, her husband has backed down from not allowing an autopsy, after she passes, among one concern that he's hiding something. CNN: PINELLAS PARK, Florida (CNN) -- Terri Schiavo's husband has asked that an autopsy be performed on his wife after she dies so that a full report can be done on the extent of her brain damage, an attorney for Michael Schiavo said Monday. Also: quote:Felos also countered accusations that a brain scan has never been performed on Terri Schiavo. He said CAT scans of her brain were introduced in trials in 2000 and 2002, showing that her cerebral cortex was "gone." So much for a so called conspiracy on Mr. Schiavo. I think those issues were mostly raised from those nutters I see haunting the outside of that hospice. [ 03-29-2005, 09:08 AM: Message edited by: LostInSpace ]

MIT: Internet 0 is an experiment at networking at the ultra-lightweight scale. Instead of relying on the architectural notions of Internet 1 with its routing, its servers, and its layered network stacks -- we are toying with very small, cheap, and simple ways to bring Internet Protocols all the way to the physical interface. This research is characterized by 7 core lessons * IP to leaf nodes * Bit sizes larger than network sizes * Shared analog modulation * Peers don't require servers * Physical programming interfaces * Compiled specifications of layering * Open standards

quote:Originally posted by Jaguar: I disagree 100% LIS.Damn where did you get all that info? I did not know that an MRI was never done. The only thing I knew about the case is that her heart gave out depriving her brain of oxygen. If there's any lesson learned from this, no matter who you are from the rich to the very poor, make a LIVING WILL. As far as the possible murder inclinations, what ever happened to an ATTEMPTED MURDER investigation? And that begs another question, why didn't her family push for an investigation. I mean it's been 15+ plus years. Anyway, I still stand by the gist of my original post. Okay, just say there have been mistakes all around in this case and she dies without those artificial means. We are only human and we do make mistakes. However, if you are religious and believe in a God and an afterlife, she will be in a better place and that those directly involved will get the resolution they deserve when they die.

quote:Q: Did you get any outlandish suggestions, like being able to use vessels shaped in forms of various foods? A: No nothing of that nature. My fan base knows better than to make crazy suggestions. Oh yeah wanna bet. I wouldn't mind seeing a few pizza slice fighters with peperoni on top and how about a side order of eggroll missles (pork not shrimp I hate shrimp eggroll) I mean honestly where did they dig that question up from. Good article though. BTW: offtopic here but so I don't clog up the joint with another post. Thanks for keep pumping out all the game updates. I know it's a lot of work and believe me it does not go unappreciated.

Personally, I don't think they are looking for a motive but somewhere or something to lay the blame on this rather than perpetrator of this crime. Well, let me give the powers that be a head start with this: The kid might be a victim of Counter Strike and this clip (which was posted by someone else in another thread) PWNED (language warning).

It's been quiet around here concerning this case. So I guess I'll be the one to start. CLEARWATER, Florida (CNN) -- Florida Circuit Court Judge George Greer on Saturday turned down the latest appeal by the parents of Terri Schiavo for her feeding tube to be reinserted. What a mess this has turned out to be. What should be a deeply private affair with this family has turned into a global spectacle. What really irked me the most, besides those nuts outside the hospital, was congress getting involved in this matter. The florida courts have ruled on the issue and that should be the end of it. But noooo, the politicians in congress see a great opportunity to get some quality air time. The second most irritating issue about this is the Religious viewpoint. They have lost sight of their beliefs. Do they not believe in an afterlife? Do they not believe, deep down, that God really exists. From what I've seen and and heard and what a lot of religious leaders have uttered, I'd say they don't. Ummm, hello, God called this person 15 years ago and we, with out technology, are denying her calling. The Religious reps I've heard, state that she should live. Again they've lost sight of their beliefs that it's not about life but what one does in their life.

Plus they have that pesky lawsuit cap now. To prevent frivolous lawsuits but in turn has also prevented legit lawsuits. A lot of lawyers are turning down cases because of this.

Sorry to hear about that Tac. I worry about the same thing myself working in a medical enviornment myself. Small office and you never know who it is or what they might carry with them coming in for an appointment. Do these patients care? Not one bit. Seems to me if they've got it they seem to want everyone to get it too. If I was that patient, I would have told them and demanded to be put in an isolation room. But that might just be me.

I have not read any problems to date on install issues. Yes, there's been sporatic complaints about the starforce 3 copy protection as well as past complaints (of other games using this copy protection) causing major problems. There's even a warning (quite small I might add needed to use magnifying glass to read it) about CD-rw and DVD-rw compatibility and virtual drives. One example: SimHq: Help!!! DVD Rom won't read the disc.. Anyway, just finished a single mission and what can I say but WOW what a game. Not only game play but graphics too. What more can a PC gamer ask for.

Wiping the sweat off my forehead, the game installed with no problem and works great. It's finally nice to see actually people on the decks of those ships. Haven't sunk (heh) my teeth into the game yet, will do that later on. But from what I've seen so far, I'm going to have a blast.
