Why is the EVE client bloated with useless data?

I was looking through it with Triexporter....there are ship/station models we never see or use. Textures/sounds and even the static "door" from Incarna still in there.

Wouldnt removing all that stuff make for a smaller client?

Please don't ask them to go removing things - we might end up with another boot.ini type file going missing.

Would removing all of a persons bones fix their obesity?

Would removing all of Earths atmospheric Oxygen fix wildfires?

Would removing all people fix War?

Would removing all forum trolls surely kill GD due to lack of content?

Would taking the L out of 'would' really hurt the English language because its silent anyways?

Would Christian Slater retiring really hurt Hollywood at all?

Would this post make any sense if it were written in Russian, then translated to Spanish, then translated to Chinese, then back to English and then read by Stephen Hawking while on mushrooms?

Would simply stating "Are you not entertained?!?!?!" be entertaining?

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Well, upon reflection...

Yes?

Yes, it might take less 5" floppy disks, or you could get a better computer Roll

EVE is trying to be just like its players - the best it can. So, of course it's bloated with useless information. What you fail to realize is, the devs went one step further, it feels just as much a know-it-all as you!
Now, that's an intuitive AI if I ever saw one!

We must accommodate the idiocracy.

uninstall EvE completely and reinstall it. Watch it drop to half its current size.

I don't know, anyone's got Stephen's phone number and access to hallucinogens? If so get him to read this and post it online:

Quote:
You will delete all the right bones to their obesity?

Elimination of oxygen in the atmosphere, and arranged all of the fire lands?

Fix removal of all war?

Delete Forum will surely kill GD do all troll due to lack of content?

L ' will ' hurt the English, because his silence anyway right?

Christian Slater retired hurt Hollywood: really?

Maybe it makes sense if the article is written in English and translated into Spain, then translated into Chinese and then back to English, and then read: Stephen Hawking over the mushrooms?

Simply say "they're not entertaining bar" will be interesting?

Isn't de-compiling the client one of those frowned upon, ban-hammery things?

There's a distinct difference between reading the contents of a container file and decompiling code of software.

In related news, I was poking around my hard drive and found multiple .DLL files that I wasn't using for anything. Deleting them cleared up a lot of space. Would highly recommend doing the same.

You would have it easy using a floppy drive. Try loading the client with punch cards.

See now your getting warmer.

A long time ago on a lava rock far far away, someone thought that pile of punch cards was like a deck of playing cards and thoroughly shuffled it. After pumping them into the machine, some other developer looked at the resulting code, and said "Wait, I have an idea!!" "Why don't we use this new jumbled up code to make something players can build themselves?" After another 3 minutes of head scratching, (and a few more beers), the POS was born.

/EvE history lesson.
