Don't expect PvE gear to allow you to compete in PvP. You need a PvP set to get the +damage items. For PvE, longevity is key, therefore lots of +int, so you can dish out damage over longer periods of time without attracting aggro. +damage in an instance just guarantees that you will die.
Agreed. This is a SUPER annoying bug. Basically, it is triggered by trying to gather minerals or herbs from certain nodes. It most definitely screws up your ability to loot anything afterwards (corpses, other resource nodes, vendors, etc) until you log off. You can still move around and kill stuff, you just can't loot.
So, if the best answer to your question is on a 6 month old site, Google isn't the place to find it.
On the other hand, if your web site has been around for more than 5 years, Yahoo is not the place to look for it either? My home page on Yahoo has been indexed about 4 years ago looks like. The text Yahoo displays for it, I don't even remember when it was up on my page last. About 4-5 years ago I'd say.

Microsoft has announced several security initiatives such as a new low-rights user account that will let the owner make routine system changes (such as installing a driver) while limiting malware exposure.
Hahaha! Sorry..
So a 'low rights' user can install drivers (read: extend the kernel), but will still not be able to install applications in user space, like unix has been able to for, oh, a couple of decades?
I took some stuff because I was getting fed up with acne (it wasn't bad even)... I don't remember what it was called, but I had a stinging sensation after putting it on (thick clear goo out of a tube, IIRC). Stopped using it very quickly because it didn't really help, and made my skin dry out. To this day (10 years later) whenever I wash my face I will come out looking like my skin is peeling off. Friggen terrible. The blow to my manly ego to have to put on moisturaiser in the morning after shower...
I noticed it's gotten less and less bad over the years, but definitely not something I would recommend to anyone unless you have a real acne problem.
Well, yeah, that is the point. Same thing would happen with TVs if the frequencies were not mandated and licensed. Your TV could technically be re-tuned if you switched providers, but in practice it would be locked down, and it would be considered shady to unlock it.
Not to beat a dead horse here, but that is not Microsoft's problem that governments are so spineless. There is nothing anti-competitive in a government of the people for the people by the people to desire to ensure equal and open access now and in the future to information for their citizens. How is it anti-competitive to put out a bid for a word processor that is able to read and save documents in a specific format, that just happens to be public and free? I don't see how Microsoft is disadvantaged here over any other vendor.
They are sending their grief to the wrong place. Their beef should not be with Microsoft for not opening their document format, it should be with their IT department or with software procurement. If you need to know how your data is stored, and don't want to rely on a third party to graciously provide you access to it, then Microsoft software is the wrong way to go. It's not like it was a big surprise.

Why all this elitism and defensiveness whenever the topic of client firewalls comes up?
Why would the guy want to run an SSH tunnel on his network to connect two systems? Look, I have the same situation. I'm running mysql on the Linux box, and a web server too. So those hook up over loopback or domain sockets or whatever. But to admin it I have a nice tool that runs on my Windows machine. So I need to expose the mysql port. No big deal, just allow the Windows box access to the necessary port, block off everyone else. Same with POP. I run POP on the Linux box. No one except the Windows box needs access, so same setup. A local mp3 streamer? Same deal, except an extra allow from the proxy at work, so I can listen to it there. A file share? Same thing. Why in the world would I run a file share over my nice Gige network and hobble its usefulness (ie speed) by running it over SSH?
Yeah, I could probably do the same via application configs and TCP wrappers. One is completely different for each app, if it exists at all, AND exposes the port, which presents risks on its own, the other is clunky and not always appropriate. Centralize all the access in iptables config, and it's done.
And the last thing I want is a jet engine, err... sorry, a Cisco router, sitting in my room.
The popularity of dual boxes (to the extent that they were popular to begin with) went out with the P4, which did not support SMP configurations. You had to shell out twice the money for Xeons, and even more for a motherboard, if you wanted a dual Intel setup. Not sure how AMD fares there, never used it. Also, the bus on Xeons just recently got bumped to 400MHz, so until then even if you did spend all that money you got worse performance.
I used to have a dual P3-1GHz, and I was very sorry to jave to let it go. I guess HT is supposed to be enough for everyone.
Ok, and then? 99% of the software that puts crap in the Run key will check when you run it that it's hooks are still there and puts them back. YOu know, for your own good.
Yeah, isn't THAT just oh so convinient. This will change... because? When was the last time a major company passed the savings on to you, instead of to their balance sheet?
It's like the project management axiom: work expands to fill all available time. Well, expenses expand to eat up all available income, and then some. Like PM can reign in out of control projects, so can people with their spending, but you are always fighting the trend.
You start making more money, or come into money, and suddenly you find all kinds of things to spend it on. Nicer more upscale things (car, home, clothes, electronics, food, entertainment, etc), you find yourself eating out more often, at more expensive places, take the taxi more often where you used to route yourself along transit lines before, etc etc. Yes, you don't have to do it, but it is against all we as humans instinctively know to do.
So if you think your financial troubles will be over if you win that million, think again. Odds are against you. If you have bad spending habits now, they won't improve when you have more money.
In our not-so-little company, when we are working on certain projects or initiatives or clients, that money is Capital Expenditure, as opposed to Operational Expenditure. Capital is good, because it lets the company do funny math on their bottom line. In the end it is all the same money coming from the same company, but with the accounting, budgeting and politics involved it's become just an unholy godaweful mess.
Or, like Dan said, the battery treatments these guys have you go through make the difference, not the sticker. There are two components here, which would have to be tested separately: the device and the procedures.
As said many times before, there is more to DSL than bandwidth. It's just NICE to have. Fast, always on, no tieing up phone line for hours at a time (on-line gaming?) Need to look something up, boom, and it's there, etc. It's not a necessity, but it is nice to have above and beyond bandwidth.
The barrier to micropayments is the 'micro' part. No one will remit electronic payment that in cents, never mind fractions of cents. So, you need an umbrella subscription service of sorts, Paypal, whoever.
You, as a micropayment maker (the user, the reader, the subscriber, etc) setup an account on this service, and visit whatever micropayment requiring sites you like. Instead of paying 1/2 cents every time, you add all the charges from all the sites and service at the end of the month, and send a single check. On the other side, the same thing is happening. Instead of paying all the web sites and services 1/2 cent payments, they add them all up at the end of the month, and send each web site a single check.
I'm sure it's already been done, but not marketed, and doesn't have a critical mass of users and web sites.
Yet governments are charged with a task, but governments can't go bankrupt.
Yes they can. The unfortunate part is that they're also allowed to run up massive debts, and have the power to raise revenue in all manner of ways before being forced to bankrupt.

Traditionally this means 'after Coto (departed)', which clearly is not what you wanted to say.
It will be super integrated with Office. That it will come with the OS is beside the point. For office workers, Acrobat comes with their system too.
Well, yeah, that is the point. Same thing would happen with TVs if the frequencies were not mandated and licensed. Your TV could technically be re-tuned if you switched providers, but in practice it would be locked down, and it would be considered shady to unlock it.

1) You won't take someone to court if they cannot defend themselves (otherwise there is no justice)
Who decides when someone can't defend themselves? What does that mean anyways?
2) If you have an expensive lawyer, you have to pay for the defense of the other party
What is an expensive lawyer? I think all lawyers are expensive.
but the poorer party has incentive to ensure that their defense is cheap too.
Of course they do, they have no money, they're poor (duh!)
If they think they'll save a ton of money (where a ton is relative), they'll buy from anywhere.
Yeah, isn't THAT just oh so convinient. This will change... because? When was the last time a major company passed the savings on to you, instead of to their balance sheet?
