Krixtal Icefluxor INLAND EMPIRE Galactic 87920	Posted - 2014.01.10 18:05:00 - [72631] - Quote Kryptik Kai wrote: Krixtal Icefluxor wrote: "Aliens" cannot violate physical laws to get to Earth any more than we can get to them, and probably never will. The word "law" applied in science is a bit of a misnomer. There are no laws or facts or 100% truths. Only probabilities that are defined and limited by our current level of "knowledge" and understanding. Many things that used to be impossible are now commonplace. User experience may change over time. Very true. But sometimes truth is truth. Light speed being a limit is just as much of a mathematically proven truth as the length of the Planck Constant. It's just not going to change. These values can be different in another universe though which formed with slight differences from ours. But that other universe is obviously prohibited to us.

Can you give us a few examples here, beyond "Well it used to be impossible to go from NY to LA in 5 hours". We need examples of true proven mathematics that have turned out erroneous, and radically change our understanding of how things work. Just naysaying in a theoretical way because one wants something to be true is just as dangerous as supporting an idea, with the only reason being that one likes the idea.

"One of the reasons is because I think this world would be better off having more young women holding a fish in a picture, and fewer of them holding their camera in front of a bathroom mirror doing a selfie." Sarah Palin hopes her show 'Amazing America' will inspire young women She left out the part where the girl is supposed to take that fish into the kitchen and get busy a-cookin'.

These are all focused on specific minutea....that were only theories in the first place. Kryptik Kai wrote: Then some fun examples: Incorrect Scientific Theories Only 2 of the 10 even involved 20th century math and science. Most are even pre-science ideas (before 1660), so there is was not any real science to disprove. Of the 2, the very originator of one of them was alive to actually call his own theory his biggest blunder. The 2nd (cold fusion) had not been accepted even as theory before the quack released his "results". No embarrassment to science here at all.

Again, absolutely not one of these involves any kind of science after 1660. Nothing to disprove. Only true information to discover. Kryptik Kai wrote: Oh, also an example of why scientific studies can be sooo wrong. Again, most of these involve medical science, certainly a very malleable field with lots of room already for error. Medical science does not follow the same rules as mathematics with it's carefully constructed exactitude. It's also a great demonstration of some examples of these medical guys wanting to prove specific ideas....just because they liked them.

The mechanical similarities of what went down are too similar to what went on with Nixon, the stink will never rub off. His insistence on saying "I'm not a bully" is just too reflective of "I am not a crook". Also, I don't think he was stupid enough to fall for a pack of lies like that from his staff.

LaBeouf took to Twitter.com on Friday to claim his GÇ£artistic integrityGÇ¥ has been attacked and as a result he has decided to turn his back on his career." I'd personally like to give him an honorary Oscar for Worst Actor of All Time, especially for whatever that "performance" was in Transformers.

Makes them seem more like "real people like them". Real people...like the Duck Dynasty Krewe. They also admire when one of these bozos filibusters Congress while reading aloud a Dr. Seuss story, and shuts down the government over the whole thing. That made Sen. Cruz more popular in Texas than ever. They worship his idiot self.

There are a number of other reasons why Christie shouldn't be a Presidential candidate, but this is trivial. Comparing it to Watergate is the normal breathless sensationalism we get from the American press these days. Although, if their darlings had done it, we'd have gotten silence (like we're getting for Fast & Furious or Benghazi or...). Hmm... maybe we should keep politics out of LAGL...

Welp, we are not debating, just discussing minutae of a particular incident. BUT, I disagree as it is exactly like the Nixon incident. A staff, operating on it's own, lying to the boss about their activities, or not revealing to him what they did.although in reality, there is no way they could NOT have known. The other thing that boosts this is those bridge closures caused people in emergency situations to DIE. Not even that happened during Watergate. BUT.....indeed it does not appear to be so all-pervading as the Watergate scandal from the standpoint of that revealing the extent to which Nixon was wiretapping and all that. Yes indeed. But also on that point, we do not know all that has happened.....yet. They are still reviewing those 900 pages of material right now, so I'm sure more is coming up.

DeMichael Crimson Republic University Minmatar Republic 19522	Posted - 2014.01.10 22:50:00 - [72657] - Quote Commissar Kate wrote: Krixtal Icefluxor wrote: So, I was struck the other day by how accurately this EVE Blogger nailed the biggest problem of EVE right on the head. Now, Jester has chimed in. " In talking to gamers outside of EVE's community over the last few months, the most common thing people have said to me is "EVE is way more fun to read about than to play."" I think some the big things for new players is that Eve is too harsh, and its not twitched based. Also the skill system is different than any other game. Plus sandbox type games such as Eve are difficult for a lot of people to enjoy. The main problem with the game - CCP starts something, does a bunch of press about it, then second-guesses it, back peddles and ultimately ends up just abandoning it. As for gaining new players and retaining existing players, CCP needs to change the game mechanics pertaining to high security and low security. There's a reason why the majority of active pilots are always in high security. That reason is Concord. CCP is constantly trying all sorts of things to get players to go into low sec with the latest one making all high sec exploration sites available in low sec. Unfortunately a large majority of the players still will not go there. The reason being no Concord. I think the current game mechanics and rules pertaining to high sec should be applied to low sec. Yes that also includes a Concord presence. That would definitely incite a large migration of the player base into low sec. As for high sec, just place a no-shoot game mechanic in place and remove Concord. High sec should just be an Industrial / Trade and Manufacturing sector only. The only exception would be War Targets of course. Everything else that is currently happening in high sec would now happen in low sec, such as Concord, Crimewatch, suicide ganks, mission invasion, etc. Also high sec would only be +1.0 systems to +0.8 systems. That would reduce the amount of changes needed to be done. All of the security agents located in the new high sec systems should be moved into the new low sec systems. Only mining and distribution agents would be left in the new high sec. All exploration sites, NPC's and Asteroid Belts would be removed from the new high sec systems. Noobie starter missions and systems would remain the same as they currently are, strictly as a learning aid for new players. Granted there's a lot more aspects that need to be considered and worked out. I realize it would be a lot of work for CCP, moving agents, missions, Cosmos complexes, etc, but you gotta admit it sure would make the empty low sec systems in-game a lot more active. Now about the topic of Alien life located elsewhere in the universe, I think it's highly probable with a very high chance of it being true. Have they visited us here on Earth? More than likely purely for scientific study. I Want To Believe DMC

EVE doesn't need to 'expand' itself by further catering to the risk averse and pampering them with an absolute no-shoot zone, nor do they need to destroy the unique situation that lowsec enjoys. All that would be accomplished is to destroy a single playstyle. High sec miners and mission runners already do not fully utilize the PVE space available to them, which is glaring considering how many of them are crammed in up there. Most of that is due to CCP's continued unwillingness and/or inability to revisit the missions, rewards, LP, and standings systems that make up the heart of PVE play. Destroying lowsec in an attempt to provide more grazing room for mission farmers does not solve the core issue that EVE's PVE system, the system that is responsible for the entertainment and retention of many high sec players, leaves quite a lot to be desired.
