Re: Wireshark : "If the SimCity programmers are competent, ..."
Even encrypted packets have headers.
It would obviously make it harder to fake a response, but all you've really got to do is set up a route on your PC to a local host for the IP address and have a little app that responds with *exactly* the same packet as that sent back by the EA host (this would require a specific capture for each user of course so that would need to be built in to the app so it also needs at least one successful connection to EA to capture the response).
Possibly :)

In short, if you say something they don't like, they drive a tank over you. It's a pretty compelling argument.

"laws forbidding bosses from asking for social media passwords. ®"
If a boss of mine ever asked for my passwords I tell them where to get off.
Mind you, I might exchange them for the number of his bank account or his 17 year old daughters' phone number (assuming she was hot of course).
This must be a joke right? I know I haven't had my morning coffee yet but I can't imagine anyone asking me for my passwords.

I think you'll find they've made considerable in-roads on the porn issue. Having a drawing of a woman with small breasts will likely find you in prison and/or on the sex offenders register, depending on the level of severity (more severe -> register, less severe -> prison)

Re: Acceptable Bigotry
Go on then shit-for-brains, I'll bite.
I claimed you were trolling with your opinion piece because it was based on the predeliction that the tantrum in question was unprovoked (it told you *everything* you needed to know about the guy apparently). The opinion and the apparent trolling don't seem to me to be contradictory and are quite capable of co-existing.
I saw what CoS did to the guy and therefore believe that his tantrum _was_ provoked, hence my belief that you were trolling. No lies anywhere that I can see, just a complete lack of comprehension of the English language on your part.
I have since re-appraised my previous conclusion and now just believe you to be a total twat.

Re: It's the hydrogen bomb part
Actually, in Battlefield Earth (the book) there is a little device that can dis-associate all the molecules binding a planet together, whilst leaving the mass of the body intact (albeit over a wider area :) - the last part is important otherwise it would mess with their star charts for matter-mission.

Re: Just a thought but..
Good old ElRon's minions have missed a possibility though.
Imagine that the DNA gets damaged in transit, but is still viable - all sorts of weird and wonderful 'monsters' evolve out of the muck and eventually they come back to Earth to find their progenators - discover us, and assume we wiped out their forebears and kill us all.

Re: @SRS (was: Whatever. Random acts of the cosmos are just that ...)
@Jake,
I have no idea how deep they are, but as they're in the mountains I expect they are fairly deep - there're more than one around here, I just mentioned the one that's a few minutes walk away and that's about 10 miles long.
It's fairly narrow though so there might be less in it than I expect.
If they all get contaminated I can always rig up a moisture trap - it's damp as hell round here, and there's always the sea.
