I believe that is called upgrading your stuff to a point of your own demise. Or something like that. How very funny... Thanks I enjoyed that a lot.

Im confused as to why the charactors fled the battle. I just saw the movie and in every battle the orcs outnumbered the humans by great numbers, why would they run from battle when their list of predetermined attacks should not list run away.

It's on the The two Towers DVD, the 4 disc set, explains it all. It's really nothing to do with being stupid or smart. The characters weren't running away from the battle as such. It involved characters at the back of the battles, the farthest distance from the enemy. Any characters that were initially facing away from the enemy would run in thier facing direction, being so far from the enemy so as not to "sense" them and therefore wouldn't change direction to confront them.

Without a user to turn the computer on, then it's just a big metal box. Kinda like the gun theory. Guns don't kill people. It's people with guns that kill people. user added image
