Those algorithms took hundreds of millions (even billions) of dollars and many many years to develop. I don't think Jagex's pockets are that deep nor do they have that amount of talent to develop something that works that well.

Some food for thought. Its well known among security and financial service companies that there is no such thing as an impossible to crack algorithm, just very difficult ones. For instance, current hashing algorithms and data standards are secure and usable for a set amount of time (2-7 years) - because that's the average amount of time it would take a brute force attack on a "standard computer" to break it. The point being is that yes, eventually cheats will figure a way to bypass anti bot systems, but the best ones will be simple to implement, and take cheaters long times to figure out ways around it without it being too obstructive.

Actually, in other areas of law there are some strategies that have been successfully used many times. For instance, in IP law, when a company knows that another group of companies is infringing on its rights, it will sue the "weakest" one, so that when they cave there will be a precedent. They also typically tend to sue in a country that has the laws most favorable to them. Jagex has a successful history suing botting sites, I don't see what prevents them from suing RWTers.

I turned on the lights to power my solar cells.

No, a closer example would be Mr. Garrison's invention in the show South Park, IT. They use IT as an example to rip on airports, a stab at humor. Is the example impossible? Not really, except its highly improbable. After watching that clip, would you want to invest anything at all in IT, in real life? Only if you were protesting airports. Does anyone that invests anything in IT in real life take it seriously? Hopefully no, but if you don't understand parody/sarcasm/satire then you'd be left behind.

I plan on celebrating by buying a 1000 pack of Styrofoam cups, 20 6-packs of coke, setting the cups on fire, and dumping them into the local river along with the plastic rings that hold the coke together without cutting them. I'll then put the empty aluminum cans in the trash can. Then, I'm going to set fire to an old set of tires, puncture a few aerosol cans, and idle my SUV. After all of that, I'll have a grand finale and break a few dozen compact fluorescent bulbs by chopping down the largest tree in the woods.

"A parody (pronounced /ˈpærədi/; also called send-up, spoof or lampoon), in contemporary usage, is a work created to mock, comment on, or make fun at an original work, its subject, author, style, or some other target, by means of humorous, satiric or ironic imitation." Hows that sound? It's something that a person created. How does this prove that the events are not the truth? Because the so claimed events are a satire on other modern religions. If you don't understand the sarcasm behind it, then there's no point in discussing this. This has nothing to do with what we're discussing. Wormholes weren't invented to poke fun at anything.

Do you understand what the words "parody" and "satire" mean?

No, its what you said. Maybe the point you're trying to make is different, but you're not doing a very good job of making it.

This corn harvest is delicious. :thumbup:

See, now you're changing your argument because you were shown to be wrong. You're not being clever, you're being stupid. And frustrating. "Yes it happened" "No it didn't!" "Yes it did!" "No it didn't!" "Yes it did, and here's the proof." "Well, who cares if it happened." :rolleyes:

Are you trying to be dense? No. I'm trying to be concise. If we have proof that Pastafarianism is entirely false then I would love to see it. You're not being concise, you're being dense. The FSM is a parody because it was created as such, this is well documented.

Bet 10m it's f2p. your on, also Ill double my payout if you roll 60 or higher on dice, and I will pay 5x more then that if you guess the correct color of the power im going to plant. And a phat if you can stop me from logging out in time.

Are you trying to be dense?

Watching Glenn Beck right now... very entertaining. "Progressives Unions Muslims Buy Gold Cass Sunstein George Soros Buy Gold" I think his team does a better job with his books.

Bet its P2P only.

FINISH HIM!

By the time that happens, the average joe with that great new product will have become wealthy, and much better off than he would've been, much quicker than had he gone at it himself. We're already so far into a hypothetical that its almost pointless to argue.

You're claiming that there's some vast conspiracy in the "ruling class" against the average joe? I refuse to believe that people are that sinister. Not a co-operative conspiracy, but its common sense if Joe Smith's new product might screw you over you're gonna stop him somehow. Venture Capitalism: help him and profit with him. EDIT: I'd rather have everyone be rich and buy my product than everyone be poor and not buy my product. Suppressing the working class doesn't benefit anyone.

You're claiming that there's some vast conspiracy in the "ruling class" against the average joe? I refuse to believe that people are that sinister.

In any system then, not everyone can be in the wealthiest 1%, so poverty isn't special to capitalism. Was your point intentionally misleading? Plus, I'd rather be "poor" when it means that I can't own my home and instead have to rent an apartment, versus dying on the street from starvation.

From the video, I'm surprised he even put up with the first 2 hits, let alone 5. I don't think the retaliation was with proportionate force, or completely justified. If the bastard landed differently he wouldn't have walked away from it. Maybe a broken nose is about the limit of what I'd call justified...

Uh, no? Unless you're talking about relative wealth, where one person is poor because they can't afford the millionaire's yacht they wash for a living.

Because to own a home, raise a family and make a decent living you have to steal it from someone else. :rolleyes:

I've had about a dozen or so weird dreams, maybe more. They've been even more specific than what you're thinking and much more out of place - they make absolutely no sense whatsoever - have absolutely no context yet somehow strangely happen exactly as I dreamed it several weeks or months later. Two very specific examples come to mind, I'll share one. In my dream I had a fishing pole in hand, and as I'm casting it I see a mousetrap at the very end. It floats, hits the ground and snaps shut. I walk to a pond (recognizing it in my dream as the retention pond near my grandparents house), reset the mouse trap and cast it again into the pond. I reel it in, the mousetrap didn't go off when it hit the water. I walk back to my grandparents garage, the mousetrap hits the ground and breaks. Made absolutely no sense when I dreamed it, only to find two months later the exact same situation took place. I was with my cousins at my grandparents house, they wanted to go fishing. We go into the garage, only to find that the fishing pole doesn't have a bobber or a hook. My cousins go inside, and looking around the garage I find an old mousetrap. I tie the mousetrap to the line, and proceed to cast it. Only later did I recognize the dream matched exactly the situation. I've tried to come up with a rational explanation for the above scenario, the only thing I can think of is that in both cases I was given initial conditions, and in both cases I acted/dreamed the way I would've acted, and everything else was coincidental.
