Unreasonable search doesn't trump the right to a trial by jury, AFAIK, Just one data point, but the 1.5 billion accounts that Yahoo lost reduced the purchase price by $247M. Finding out about the remaining 1.5 billion after closing caused some tittering. It may seen an aside, but it's one of the first times there's a dollar amount on something as dumb as an email account. Having said that, you can get a couple of databases for a relatively low price for tactical purposes.

The only real long-term value might be in the art assets: textures, modeling, etc. But on one point, I think you're dead wrong: quote:...Let alone why those backers would want a damned thing to do with the very company that destroyed The Dream.

If I was in their shoes, I would take any option that involved actually recouping even 10% of the money I had wasted on the project, but that's why they're just better people than us goons: the True Believers will stick to their principles, even if makes them look like gullible morons.

Goredema posted:[Duplicate post. I am bad at internet. Please accept these oranges as my apology.] Well to answer your original post. It's not limited to space nerds. Guys out here will pay thousands to charter a boat out of Montauk for a day of big fish fishing. However if the big fish are not out / aint' biting the captain normally offers to switch to smaller fish like Sea bass so that the trip and the boat isn't coming back empty. Some guys will say no. They were perfectly happy to spend the money in pursuit of the tuna or shark or whatever.

i'm sick and had a fever nightmare last night that i had backed star citizen and forgotten. i ended up playing it while trying to find out how to refund. i had two ships, one was a generic space fighter thing and one was a ufo. I spent most of my time in the dream trying to move my space furniture from the space fighter to the ufo, because the ufo had a better cockpit view. the fighter was huge on the inside but small outside, and i realised that when I crossed the threshold into the ship my character was actually shrinking to make the interior seem bigger. there was an npc inside the ship and when I left the ship my character grew but the npc stayed tiny. i never actually flew either of the ships. my nightmare about this lovely game actually had more functional features in it than the real star citizen. i need to stop reading this thread before bed.

How can these chucklefucks not get their heads round the concept that CIG signed a contract saying they'd only use CryEngine, then used a different engine? This really isn't rocket surgery, I think my five year-old niece could grasp this. Still, it is funny to see the true believers slating CryTek while ignoring that CryTek are responsible for their being any sort of game at all. Or maybe that's why they're mad at them.

Remember, they do have shady characters involved in previous financial shenanigans on staff They do and I agree they know every trope of 90's Organized crime techniques. But they just aren't very good at it. They have never crossed the line with someone that WILL nail their rear end to the wall no matter where they try and hide. They have ducked and dodged and have done the bare minimum to keep state prosecutors from actually getting involved because those things cost money and what assistant prosecutor is going to be granted the budget needed to chase this bullshit across multiple countries and over a dozen shell corps? Skadden is the perfect weapon here as they have offices everywhere with a staff that can and will dedicate time and resources to go hunt that rabbit down. The courts will waste no time at all in wiping their rear end with the shell corps because its obvious what they are being used for from a company that is just supposed to be making a vidya game. You just have to get it in front of a judge and the rest will sort itself out.

XK posted:White chocolate isn't a real thing, it's a scam. It's just chocolate with the chocolate removed. juggalo baby coffin posted:i need to stop reading this thread before bed. In the last 500 years, the Fourth Stimpire has dominated four systems, which it has united into one starzone, Stimsis. The Fourth Stimpire has origins from the Ten Empire War in which 10 of the United Stimpires revolted against each rules. All empires except for the fourth swore freedom upon their citizens. There is no free speech in the Fourth Stimpire, and all self-controlled transportation has been made illegal without undergoing painful medical verification methods, in which arteries are severed without pain resistant, operated entirely by machines. The way they work claim to be the most hygenic and healthy way possible, but these machines often rub against pain points, causing great deals of pain to patients. The heart is then extracted from the body and placed into a glass grinding machine. Various energy centers are also dissected and replaced with dangerous transplants. After the painful, 52 hour surgical procedure, patients will then have to use a fused guidance tool, which pumps painful resistors into the body every 2 hours. The pain they have caused is so bad, the victim would freeze in a tense position. They would then collapse afterwards. Sexual stimulation in any way within the grounds of the Fourth Stimpire is strictly prohibited, and anyone detected even touching their sexual organs will be subjected to a penectomy or if the offender was a female, they would then have a razor inserted into their ovaries. They would pump a blue solution into the womb until the stitchings burst. Offenders would also be forced to show their operated areas in public, and they would always harass and punch them to a pulp, against their will. Otherwise, offenders would be tazed with the worst type of electricity in the systematic district, causing so much pain, the victim would scream and flail in madness. The pain would also triple every second, but no death would be incurred. This is also used in combat against enemy units, which is why all UEE forces must wear the upgraded suit to block this effect. However, enertainment is also questionable in UEE grounds. Sporting events end with the losing team being rounded into a grinder and shredded on live television, boxing matches end with the loser having their hands removed without anasthesia, flight races would end with the losers having their arms and legs removed, then being injected with insanity, for entertainment. People are also forced into these events, by undergoing a painful 127 hour procedure which involves tweaking the muscles so they will not listen to brain commands, and then having a painful drug injected which also causes madness if the player is not sporting. This is all for entertainment, and anyone not watching any of it during sporting times and cheering for the winning team, they will be imprisoned into galactic camps. Snuff films are also broadcast, and actors are actually murdered just for entertainment. Stealth droids also guide these forced actors into behaving exactly as the director dreams, otherwise they will be punished by being placed into a macerator and having their execution written into the film. Any film that does not feature someone being murdered will be burned and the entire crew behind it will be executed in the most grotesque way possible - vivisection. All executions are broadcast, and anyone who misses even a millisecond, even by blinking, will be executed. All citizens must boo to the person being executed, and the family is gathered to be injected with eternators, which cause pain forever, making them immoral but feeling the pain tenfold every millisecond. They cannot pass out, but they will feel like it forever. Conquests by this Stimpire end in the planet being razed, and all the citizens being executed in the same way as their citizens are. The planet is then destroyed and all remnants of it are removed, and any memories of it will be erased instantly from civil minds. People who are also killed are also erased from memories, and all memories of them, including toys and pictures, are destroyed. Prisoners undergo 40,000 years of relentless and endless labor, and anyone not complying is sentenced to the eternator injection. All prisoners injected with eternators are placed into capsules and launched into far space, then the room is closed tight to ensure maximum insanity. Some prisoners are also subjected to the removal of blood, the lungs, the liver, the genitals, the skeleton, the muscles, the eyes, and even the injection of pressure. Prisoners sentenced to pressure chambers are locked in until they are inflated to a high level. The decompression is then stopped to make sure they are inflated and uncomfortable. Children born on the 14th of July are subjected to the removal of their skeleton and an implant of a silver liquid to replace it. The nervous sysem is also injected in various parts to ensure it is five times more sensitive than the average. Restaurants also are ordered to serve civil meat, and anyone attending must give themself up to be cooked into a grotesque meal. They are cooked alive, undergoing extreme pain, and are then subjected to industrial grinders and blenders. The Stimpire orders at least 1 million citizens to be dispatched every day, as they are afraid the population may overthrow them. But only one planet is cared for, and the rest are banned from eating, drinking, talking, using technology, touching anyone, wearing unauthorized clothes, touching buildings, or walking a centimeter out of designated routes. Civil enforcers are on every planet, and they are engineered so that they are 40 times larger than the 300 quadrillion population. At least 7 billion die every 12 hours under this rule. Thoughts are also surveyed, and anyone who does not think anything to loving the Stimpire with more than their capabilities will be sentenced to a prison. Prisoners who are punished for this violation will meet their greatest fear, only to have it amplified so they will turn insane as they imagine it exactly as they fear it. They then undergo a painful extraction of all fluids, to be replaced by a toxin which causes permanent irritation. The unknown substance keeps the subject aging normally, except they will never die. Prisoners punished in this way are unable to be reverted, despite many efforts, and they will never be able to be disposed. The sickening truths have been revealed only today, and invigilation teams are still investigating the truths without setting foot in the galactic space of this sickening empire.
