  1. Try preventing a single item of copyrighted material from ever being uploaded to your site when you have millions of users. The most you can do is ban their account, IP ban them, and remove the illegal material; but we know how effective that is considering that anyone can easily make another account and circumvent an IP ban and reupload material that infringes on copyright claims. It's ridiculous to punish a website like MegaUpload over this, if they truly did try to prevent copyrighted material from being uploaded. The illegal material will always slip through the cracks. If I misunderstood the situation, my apologies. This post was aimed at what other people said in the thread.
  2. It's only legit if they bring back everything that they had on their servers. If they don't then it's not. Pretty sure it's a phishing site.
  3. Boo hoo. Some celebrity made $999993 instead of $99999999 due to piracy. Now let's shit on everyone and lower people's quality of life by removing popular sources of entertainment and send bored teenagers to prison for uploading/downloading/watching a video. Personally, if I find out that a certain politician voted in favor of bullshit like this, they won't have my vote. Unpatriotic [bleep].
  4. Using LOIC? Gonna get caught. :V
  5. I do not believe in God; I believe that everything can be explained through natural phenomena. Many people in the Sciences seem to believe in God based solely on the fact that the universe is complex, therefore an intelligent being greater than ourselves must have created it. However, I would argue that "complexity" is a very subjective term, and one could argue that the universe isn't really as "complex" and "wonderful" as we think it is; we only view it as such due to our own struggle to comprehend it. The universe is just something that exists, and I am fascinated by it. However, despite my fascination and despite the fact that I may describe the universe as "complex," I am not convinced that a deity exists. What people call "God" is what I call "nature." However, when I think about it, then that must also mean that people who believe in God (i.e. they call nature "God") are correct in that sense: God exists. Then again, none of this really matters anyway. At the end of the day, my beliefs concerning religion and the divine are worthless. The only thing that matters to me is acquiring knowledge through the empirical nature of science. [/philosophical bullshit]
  6. Leadership skill Engineering skill Medic skill Necromancer skill
  7. Fish lobsters I used to do it years ago and I made millions.
  8. Hope that doesn't ruin your spine!
  9. WHAT?! What a stupid decision :/.. Typical games studio. You always have a good game that has some incompetent devs that [bleep] things up.
  10. Thought I'd highlight this. Fancy textbooks are no substitute for proper studying techniques and revision--the equipment for which costs, what... £40 tops?--and they're useless if you're planning on a lie-in when you should be in a lecture hall at 9am. The golden rule we were told was that we could be examined on anything taught in the lectures, not the books. Hey presto, plenty of stuff reared up which wasn't present in the reading lists. Go figure. I don't mind purchasing textbooks because I can use them as a reference tool later on when I'm studying for MCAT. Professors generally don't use textbooks for examinations and provide their own notes in class (which they either email to you or expect you to write down), but textbooks do tend to cover certain topics in more detail than lecture notes, so it is worthwhile to at least make an effort to read your textbook when you have the time to do so. Any science major should make an effort to go above and beyond the work expected in their course for an A and be overachievers. Any science-related career greatly benefits from top-quality students who have vast knowledge about scientific concepts, especially the medical profession. Last semester, I had two 2-inch binders stuffed full with lecture-related material - the majority of which I used for my extremely thorough study technique - and I constantly attended seminars that I didn't have to in order to gain extra knowledge. The majority of students also don't realize that flashcards are an EXTREMELY INEFFECTIVE study technique that fails to get a lot of information into long-term memory (LTM). I tend to use outlining as well as this other technique that groups concepts together under headings in order to prepare for exams, and I can say that I go into the classroom to take my exam with near-perfect memory for the material that I'm being tested over.
  11. I bought my chemistry textbook for $300.
  12. I'm probably going to spend about $1000 on textbooks this semester, and most of the textbooks aren't even new. Technically I'm spending $0 since it's off of a scholarship. I probably won't end up using them that much, if at all, because my science courses tend to focus more on lecture notes than the textbooks when it comes to taking exams.
  13. I might have thought so if not for how I'm used to cracking them and how that has a very different sound, this one was more like when the fibres start splitting. And I don't really get a chance to talk to my parents for the next nine hours, seeing as they're asleep up until I leave for school. And the weird feeling was sort of like blunt internal pain, but not strong enough to hurt. If it continues to hurt the next day, I would advise that you get it checked out. If not, you should be fine.
  14. I like Ron Paul, but I doubt he'll be nominated. Also, apparently ignoramuses are vital for the function of democracy, so a better definition of democracy should be:
  15. So, what classes are people taking during the upcoming semester? I'm taking General Chemistry I, General Physics I, French, Statistics, and Abnormal Psychology.
  16. His failings were because of the Republican Party.
  17. There's one spot on the hair where it has black background still and you forgot to use magic eraser on it. Other than that, I like it! By the way, do you mind if I add text to it later if I change my forum nick?
  18. Hello, I want an cute avatar and signature based on the Eniripsa class from Dofus and Wakfu. Here are some good quality pictures of the female character (don't want the male version): http://img3.hebus.com/hebus_2007/06/29/070629074236_9.jpg http://images.wikia.com/dofus/images/9/9c/Eniripsa_female.png As for other elements in the signature and avatar, I don't have any particular preferences. Work with what looks best, so that'll be your call. As for size, I prefer signatures that aren't too clunky and aren't too small, so a userbar won't work. Cheers.
  19. Ever tried telegrouping people in W2 Grand Exchange to Ice Plateau? :V
  20. "Free" is just a buzzword used by most MMOs anyway.
  21. One thing that I'm curious about is whether or not this affects males more than females or vice versa. Females I can definitely see being especially prone to RSI.
