This will be my first attempt at updating a major release for Linix. Going from 10.3 to 11. I read the "hands-on look at the new installer" but am still a little worried that I am totally going to foob the install when I get home. Unfortunately, my Linux guru friend moved away and I am left to fend for myself.
Some questions I have: Will I need to reinstall all the applications that I am currently using? Amarok for example. Do I need to re get all the packages? (Is there a recommend list of packages to get after a new install?) Will all of my directories and files be wiped? Reinstall of WOW? (no freaking way am I doing that again!)
To me, consoles will always be a... blow in the cartridge, put game in, mash buttons type of activity. Quick and dirty.
If I want to play WOW on a console I would need a keyboard, mouse, headset, comfy chair, all my tunes, etc. In effect, I have just built the same thing I have in my computer room. Its called a PC.
Exactly! Why I need to have 44inch tires... "So when I am looking over traffic, and I don't like what i see, I can just drive over the top of your car. Or decide to drive on the side of the road in a traffic jam."
I would have to agree about the free publicity. Until today, I never heard of R3. After they are done being/.ed I will have to see what they are about.
"though most people seem confused about what they're waiting for"
Reminds me of the old saying. "If all your friends are jumping off a bridge..." I guess if you do decide to jump, you could hope to land on people like this!
I am right there with ya on the cheaters! Can't stand it. + I had my Windforce ripped from my hands when it was found to be a DUP!!! and all I got was a thanks for playing.
What I guess I don't understand is if you don't like all the stuff that you mentioned above, why do you play the game? I mean, I hate the grind as much as you do, but I know that is what is expected of me. I know full well that when I log in tonight that I am going to do the same daily quests as I did yesterday. Its just part of the game.
I think if someone actually pays someone to play the "boring" parts, then they should not be playing the game at all. I think its kinda funny that after these people pay to get lvled they are surprised when someone logs in (with the password they never changed) and sells all their stuff! Doh!
I guess my point is... I understand people paid for the game. They can do whatever the heck they want with it... as long as it does not effect the company that made it, or anyone else. In Diablos case, you could play it local. If you wanted to have all the toons look like barbie, go for it. I dont think that there was a problem with people having their own severs (no loss in revenue) up to the point that people figured out how to dup items on bliz servers. In WOWs case, you can't play it locally. Therefor, any changes you make directly effect me. Bots and goldfarmers ruin the economy and interfere with my game play. If people don't like it quit playing!
We can't run down to the water plant and dump grape flavor in because some people don't like the taste. In this case, the guy is not providing the water or the grape flavor, he is jut opening the door for you.
I think that it was the "drop" rate of the SOJ's that made them more valuable.:) I only ever got one or two.
Anyhow, I would like to point out that if someone did not modify Diablo (creating dups) from the way that it was intended to be played, there would never been a need for you to create your own server. There were some things that you would have liked changed, but that is really not your place to change it. Don't get me wrong. I agree with your changes, but that was the same mentality of the person that created the dups had. They did not like some aspect of the game so they changed it. Meanwhile they ruined it for everyone else.
Also the big difference here is people now pay for their subscriptions. I accept bots and gold farmer for now... But if there comes a time when people (like this guy in the article) can get away with allowing people to cheat, then I will quit WOW too. Taking my 15 bucks with me. That that directly affects bliz pocket book.
Oh and to that rogue that tried to gank me last night... You may want to make a note for yourself. Don't try to gank full resto shammys that has not used their fire elemental in the past 20 minutes. Even if they are fighting a mob and have 1/4 life and mana!:)
SOJ's anyone? I believe that bliz should take every possible measure to stop people from playing the game, other then the way it was intended. My reason/example: In a matter of a couple days, the entire economy of Diablo2 crashed because some asshat figured out how to dup SOJ's (the "gold" of the game). Bliz tried to stop this but it was too late. People already traded their legit items for dups. I quit soon after...
I guess i don't understand why people that do not like playing WOW they way it was intended (this includes the grind) keep playing? If you don't like it... Quit. Don't run your gay bot and ruin it for everyone else.
I don't get to go home and print my own money because I don't like the way the US economy is running. I don't get to send a robot to go to work for me. I have to grind it out, just like everyone else.
110% That is the other one that I think needs to be looked at. What does it mean to give 110%. Is that even possible? How do you get over 100%? If you say 110%, doesn't that mean the the scale has just gone from 0 - 100 to 0 - 1000... So 110 is on he very low end of the scale?
Thats right boss, I am giving 110%!!!
I did the same. I could not get the file from the nin servers. So I decided that I would break out of my shell and finally figure out how this whole torrent thing works.
Thanks RIAA!!! This was the first time that I have purchased music online and my very first torrent download. It was all 100% legal.
Hey did you guys know that there are movies and all kinds of goodies you can get from torrents?/sarcasm/provingapoint
I could not agree more!!! When was it decided that ebay was a retail store?
If I want to buy a Wii, I am going to run to game stop. Oh thats right... I cant, they are sold out. Some asshat just bought them all to sell on ebay, and I now have to wait until he cant sell them on ebay and returns them to the store... Great!
Great Point... Although this is offtopic, I would like to hear what other/. people think about this type of activity?
I will never purchase any item that has been put on e-bay in this way. A guy at work talks about how he will stand in line, buy as many as possible, then run home and put these items up on e-bay. At a greater cost.. because they are hard to get... because he just bought them all.
I wanted a Wii. Guy at work would sell me one at a higher price then the store. I rented Wii for video store. I satisfied urge. I hope this dude at work sits on that Wii for 50 years waiting to sell the 10 he has.
Should I respond to an AC??? Might as well.... WTF are you retarded? Can you please point out the "spelling errors"? Grammar or punctuation, probably have a leg to stand on. How about this... Why don't you man up, get some balls and not post as AC next time. Mmmmk. Oh and your Pinto SUCKS!!!:)
Sure you all can drive to work in your Ford Pintos, but I will drive my Nissan 350z. Both cars run, stop, haul your butt to work, basically accomplish the same task, but one of them looks a whole-hell-of-a-lot cooler. Oh and one is much faster too:)
I think that its great that you are pointing out the ridiculous comparison between apples and oranges here, but I think its worth mentioning that you are doing the exact... same... thing... as the smoking nazis are doing to get their "death" numbers.
Little Timmy smelled a cigarette and got brain cancer. 1 death
Little Sue bumped into a smoker and got nicotine tar on her face she died from lung cancer. 2 death
You get the point.
I find it interesting that you are so willing to accept the smoking death per year number, yet turn around and fight when they say games are just as bad.
Little Timmy played Manhunt, then started to smoke, so he could kill himself.
Little Sue watched little Timmy play manhunt, then started to hear voices, wanted to kill Timmy, but he got to himself first.
Slashdot Mirror
WHY in the hell did I get moded wiht a -1 in my first post?
Is asking for Linix advice a bad thing on slashdot?
This will be my first attempt at updating a major release for Linix. Going from 10.3 to 11. I read the "hands-on look at the new installer" but am still a little worried that I am totally going to foob the install when I get home.

Will I need to reinstall all the applications that I am currently using? Amarok for example.
Do I need to re get all the packages? (Is there a recommend list of packages to get after a new install?)
Will all of my directories and files be wiped?
Reinstall of WOW? (no freaking way am I doing that again!)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!
From 6,797,669 to 6,808,507 in 60 seconds = 10839
Not to bad...
To me, consoles will always be a... blow in the cartridge, put game in, mash buttons type of activity. Quick and dirty.
If I want to play WOW on a console I would need a keyboard, mouse, headset, comfy chair, all my tunes, etc. In effect, I have just built the same thing I have in my computer room. Its called a PC.
Consoles stick with the quick and dirty please.
Exactly! Why I need to have 44inch tires... "So when I am looking over traffic, and I don't like what i see, I can just drive over the top of your car. Or decide to drive on the side of the road in a traffic jam."
Man I hate those people!!!
Pubes?
I would have to agree about the free publicity. Until today, I never heard of R3. After they are done being /.ed I will have to see what they are about.
