    the only drawback was that map rotation was manual

    I guess it would not that hard to write a sniffer to look for special control phrases in the chat logs [like i do for everquest - I can call up maps & item searches, recipies, any url, send email etc.etc.]

    but NWN server never/rarely crashed on me - it did kind of bork the response of the public web server sometimes by CPU hogging but hey, that's life

    An "average" death in DAoC is a bigger setback than an "average" death in EQ, especially at higher levels

    Except in EQ you can't just say "aw fuck it, I'm releasing" and pop back to spawn with all your gear.

    DAOC gives you the freedom to explore without too much penalty except for xp & cash. [I've not played DAOC since before the underworld - I was lvl 36 when I got bored]

    I enjoyed DAOC but the lack of depth was it's downfall. Degrading gear made it worthless and the stuff you needed for this level dropped frequently enough that people would generally just give it to someone of the same class walking by.

    The RvR stuff was interesting but the being repeatedly creamed by level 50s was annyoing.

    I'm looking forward to SWG and EQ2. I think I will buy and subscribe to them both. [I'll be on the EQ2 long-time subscriber beta too according to their blurb]

    I've recently gone back to EQ and boy, is it dead!

  13. Re:Beautiful on Kid-Safe Domain Created · · Score: 2

    I personally think it's a terribly scarring experience to have your parents try to hide things from you.

    Adult behaviour can be disturbing to children. This can stimulate the hypothalmus which negotiates mood and future mood. Associating normal adult behaviour with a negative experience can lead to challenges in later life.

    If you and your partner were experimenting in sado-masochistic sex would you be happy for your 6 year old to watch?

    They never ever lied to me
    That can't possibly be true
    Because lying is a human tour dé force.
    We choose which bits of the truth to tell in order to filter out the necessary detail.

    Or maybe you don't, who am I to pre-judge. I just know that for the most part people don't say :

    "sorry I took a while, you caught me in the middle of having a wank"

  17. uh-oh on Mod_Python for Apache 2.0 is released · · Score: 2

    I'm a FreeBSD user. Is this a "heads up, trouble is coming" situation?

  18. mod_python works great - when it works on Mod_Python for Apache 2.0 is released · · Score: 5, Informative

    mod_python for 1.3 had an annoying threading conflict. Which meant that the python version you needed for mod_python was generally different from the default install.
    It caught me out during a server replacement. I couldn't get it working on the fresh install.

    Luckily the mod_python code I'd used had been for internal administration that I could do manually. I spent the week re-writing the python in php.

    I've just read through the 3.0 manual and it looks like this restriction is lifted :

    2.1 Prerequisites

    * Python 2.2.1 or later. Earlier versions of Python will not work.
    * Apache 2.0.40 or later (For Apache 1.3.x, use mod_python version 2.7.x).

    In order to compile mod_python you will need to have the include files for both Apache and Python, as well as the Python library installed on your system. If you installed Python and Apache from source, then you already have everything needed. However, if you are using prepackaged software (e.g. Linux Red Hat RPM, Debian, or Solaris packages from sunsite, etc) then chances are, you have just the binaries and not the sources on your system. Often, the Apache and Python include files and libraries necessary to compile mod_python are part of separate "development" package. If you are not sure whether you have all the necessary files, either compile and install Python and Apache from source, or refer to the documentation for your system on how to get the development packages.

  19. Re:Does it risk taking down the server? on Mod_Python for Apache 2.0 is released · · Score: 3, Interesting

    we run our php under suExec
    it makes php a cgi app rather than a mod but that's a trade we're making for the other cgi anyway.

    We decided that it's okay to trade speed for protection.
    We can buy CPU cycles.
