I'm an NPR junkie, but I don't like this type of snarky editorial comment: "Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales says the number of editors contributing to the online encyclopedia is on the decline. Apparently, they've all grown up and found better things to do with their time." (x-post from r/wikipedia) npr.org/2012/04/20/151023…

Is Hegel's Encyclopedia of the Philosophical Sciences easier than his Phenomenology of Spirit?

I am a graduate student in economics starting to get into (modern) philosophy. As I long as I have to study a lot of other things for graduation, I can't focus 100% of my time in philosophy, what makes it harder to get 'enough' background to read great works as Hegel's phenomenology or Kant's critiques. However, I'm still very interested in their thought and I know I can use them in economics, so I thought I could start reading some of their (in this case Hegel) others works. Comparing Encyclopedia's introduction with the Phenomenology's one, it seemed pretty much more understandable, does it apply to the rest of the book?

Blizzard, we REALLY need an IN GAME encyclopedia of game mechanics and technical aspects for newer players to see.

I've noticed this a lot more recently with the 2.0 update bringing in so many new players. And even alpha vets like myself don't know some technical stuff until it's pointed out.

There needs to be a place to read up on these things in game, it doesn't even have to be fancy, just text descriptions and pictures.

Stuff like this:

What is armor? Who has armor? What is the difference between it and spell armor?

What counts as "spell" damage?

What are the different types of minions?

Which minions drop health globes? How much do they heal me for? What about the healing fountain?

Why is the core invulnerable?

When do catapults spawn? How does their targeting work?

What do catapult minions do on hanamura differently than other maps?

How does unit collision work? What does the circle underneath my hero represent?

Stuff like these questions desperately need to be answered IN GAME. New players should not have to look hard to find stuff that becomes very very important at higher levels of play.

Please fellow Redditors, upvote for visibility, I'd really like a blizzard response on this one.

The Encyclopedia of TF2 Cheaters

TF2 Cheaters, Hackers or Script Kiddies are people who download cheats for Team Fortress 2. That's kinda of it, but, this post is to show the cheats that they have, how to detect them, and how to counter/get rid of them. This post might be updated to include more cheat infos.

The Cheats:

Aim-bot - aimbotters are the most common of all cheat software. They lock on to an enemy, usally the head, and click away.

Wall-Hacks - Anthor simple hack, this hack allows you to see through walls. This hack is the easiest to detect. I'll tell you about this later in this post.

Spin-bot - sends fake angles to the server. Combined with aimbot, it is very deadly.

Trigger-bot - automatically shoots if the cursor is on the enemy player. However it may not always work, so if they wave their cursor over an enemy player then they're probably using this hack.

Crit Hacks - This hack originally forced 100% Critical hits, but Valve patched it out, or something happened. Now they just increase the chances of Random Critical Hits.

Anti-Backstab - This messes up the hitbox so Spies can't backstab you. However, if you have 4 Spies and butter knife the cheater, you might get a backstab, but I doubt it.

Anti-Kick - If the cheater has this enabled, they do not get kicked or banned from all votes, or all votes auto say 'no' (not used anymore, but keep an eye out for this)

Cat-bots - player made Bots that follow a premade path, sometimes ending, and is equipped with an Aimbot. However, unlike actual Team Fortress 2 Bots, they don't have any intelligence or gamesense, for example, if there is a Sentry on their path, they'll just walk into it and die.

Multi-boxing - Bots that mimics the actions of the computer it is running on, and is very dangerous at times, and also there can be more than one.

How to detect:

Follow these steps to see if there is a cheater on your team:

  1. When you are dead, spectate the suspected cheater, and press SPACE to enter first person mode.
  2. If they are jittery or locking onto people, then they are a cheater. NOTE: cheater might turn off Aimbot when you are spectating them. NOTE: also check to see if there are looking at any enemies, either behind walls or any invisible Spies.

For the enemy team:

  1. Go Spy and equip: l'etranger, any invis watch, and any knife (Although I recommended stock)
  2. Find suspected cheater while Invisible. If they see you, or hit a headshot while invisible, then they are using a Wall-hack/Aim-bot (There is a very *l
