      Under all computer laws if it is requested by a judge to give up personal details you can choose not too but you will remain in goal until you give up the required information

      Computer laws are very heavy they are compared to other laws

      Your info is stored on a pc so it is covered under computer laws

      Computer hackers can get 25 years to life they can under some country laws as breaking into a pc is really bad if someone does manage to damage it think of it this way if someone managed to break into MIcrosofts bank account where the company keeps everything it could bankrupt the company this is why pc laws are very heavy compared to other laws it took me a while to understand why as if a company like Microsoft did lose all info because of a hacker over 250k employees would be effected

      Don't you dare argue now, the man obviously has a degree in law!

      See and I thought HE was pointing out, that the guy who's never heard of punctuation knows jackshit about law and it was I that was pointing out the lacking use of periods and commas, that is before I agreed to teh boss through a cynical remark about the said poster.

      Sure you got things right there buddy? Might just be me...

      yes put also open source = thousands and thousands of developers work on it and hell of new ideas / methods of circumventing warden and improving the bot. not mentioning people joining for educational purposes ,blizzard will go broke just trying to keep with that pace.

      open source is still dumb.... This isn't mangos. It's a bot, and no there wouldn't be 1000 of developer s helping but only helping themselves. This is a company and this is their product. Boss is probably holding his tongue on remarks of going open source. (this was sarcasm by the way)" Yea sure here take my work that im going to court for that'll cost me alot of money and give it to the public....") Edit: my saying you were holding your tongue meant. If I were you I would be cursing at people wanting me to release my product freely.i figured you weren't the only one throwing code together :)

      I am not holding my mouth on such stuff, actually on none.

      I did not see why it should be relevant to speak about open source at all. Honorbuddy now has over 200.000 lines of code, not a single line of that is written by me personally ( that something that most ppl do not know ), its written by our employees. That employees have a standard contract with the GmbH ( engl. Ltd ) and get paid month for month. They are still working on HB.

      I hope anyone can see that opensource is no option here, there are few point that would speak against it. Right now i control what gets in the code or not, and what becomes part of HB, so you do not see any cheats included in HB, no noclip, no flying-hack, no teleporting and so on. Second, and most common argument from my side is, that while in court vs Activision Blizzard for the next 2-4 years, we need to finance that. I do not really know how much that case will consume, but it will not be few bucks.

      Thats why i do not get into talk about opensource, it has no relevance at all.

      So to generate money to cover the costs

      HB is more or less abandoned except updating for patches.
      Work on Rift which would not be halted should generate a higher and safer cash-flow ?

      So we will have to live with really poor navigation and that Pirox-bot totally owns HB in PvP etc etc.

      sorry mate if i ever disturbed you.

      what i meant is : blizzard do not want any good bot to be released as open source ,because that basically means a beast getting loose in the wild which in this case a Chinese guy will figure out that it is a very nice toy to make money out of.

      basically : i wanted to tell you that this is a very good point you can bairgain blizzard with : "if i loose i will release it open source" which i am sure blizzard do not want.

      i didn't want to tell you that in public ,just wanted you to figure it out yourself (feel free to delete this after you read it before blizz buys read it :) ).

      on the other hand the argument "if i loose i will release it open source" can be true. you have nothing to lose at the end , you are just releasing it for educational purposes. i have more if you wish you can contact me.

      at the end i wanted to help ,that is all mate.

      I am now officially disabled since I won my Social Security Disability case. I use HonorBuddy to compensate for a disability I have. HonorBuddy allows me to access something that I would otherwise not be able to do.

      In America we have the Americans with Disabilities Act. I will not be able to continue to play World of Warcraft without HonorBuddy.

      Does Blizzard intend to deny me equal access even though it does not cost them anything unlike other businesses that had to go to great expense to install handicap ramps, parking, bathrooms and such?

      If so that would be a violation of my rights.

      I will help anyway I can.

      hate to tell you Alcibiades but in America people have no rights.
      All of them belong to companies that bribe the politicians.
      in short you are F;d if HB goes bye

      Tasso91 I agree 100% on that day I will be playing BF3
