Star Wars Galaxies Auctions Afoot

Fusty writes "Game Girl Advance is running a story about the first wave of Star Wars Galaxies auctions on Ebay. Items, credits and characters are already selling for over $250, not even a month after launch. Will Sony/Verant shut down SWG auctions, like they did the EverQuest Auctions?"

    My IDE bus locked up under Windows XP, then Windows did a hard reboot as a response. Then Windows refused to boot. In Linux, this is what I get trying to get to my documents...

    Could someone tell me what this means? (I'm normally not offtopic, but I'm sobbing at the loss of all this data!!!)

    [root@localhost xp]# ls "Documents and Settings"

    I thought the game was too boring, bug-ridden, and repetative to take seriously. Isn't everyone gonna wait 2 or 3 years for it to shape up?

    Here's how you need to fix this:
    You will need
    a) A car battery
    b) a long wire
    c) a large iron nail

    1. Wrap wire around nail, leave a bit hanging off either end
    2. Connect one end to the battery anode and another to the cathode
    3. Move the entire apparatus up and down over the surface of the hard drive repeatedly
    4. Repeat 3 until satisfied

    That should solve your problem - and remember, dual booting is bad for karma!

  8. WTF is this? by po_boy · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I understand most of the words in this article, but I don't understand its meaning. It's probably about games, and since I'm not a big gamer I can't make any sense out of it. Oh, I see. Although I opted out of "Games" on the front page some time ago, slashdot opted me into many sub categories when they were created. Apparently now I have to opt out of "Role playing (Games)", "Emulation (Games)", "First Person Shooter (Games)", "PS/2 (Games)", "Quake", and about a dozen others. Not to mention I have to keep an eye out for extra subcategories and try to stay out of them as well.

    Why is it I don't hear a bunch of bitching about this decision to opt people into this kind of stuff? When Yahoo! or eBay or someone like that "re-adjusts" people's preferences, all you hear is a lot of complaining on slashdot. When Slashdot adds a bunch of new subcategories, apparently with the sole purpose of getting more stories out, almost no one complains. How can I tell slashdot that I don't want to read any stories about games? Not "Video (Games)", "Outdoor (Games)", or even "Reindeer (Games)".
