I have a lovely wife who surfs the internet constantly. She has a bot on her Windows Box. I noticed it when we sent out 86 thousand emails in one day. (it helps to monitor your port 25!!). Okay.. so she is compromised.
Norton, Spybot, etc CANNOT detect what she has. Netstat shows the connection but taskmanager etc does not. I block port 25 from her computer as a precaution and the darn computer starts searching for smtp servers on the local network. I use qmail-auth and it prevents it.. however I have no trust that it cant use UPnP or something else to change my main router.
So.. HOW IN THE HECK do you REMOVE stuff that you cant find? I really.. REALLY.. dont want to reformat and reinstall because there is no way this should be hidden to adminstrator on Windows XP.. but it IS!
Yep.. but the combination spells were generally too small of duration.. and had to cast them a ton. I finished the game but my biggest challenge was encumberance. I created 4 feather spells besides the ones in the game and would cast them all just to haul some EQ around.
One click and all plus a water breathing plus extra armor.. fire resistance.. etc would be nice!
in an RPG, you have spells that you wear constantly. Dungeon Siege, Pool of Radiance, etc.. and there are spells you cast on your party members constantly. These spells should all be MAINTAINABLE!
Best MUD I played was one where you could add a spell that you wish to maintain and then on occasion hit "spellup" and it would spell you up, ignoring the spell if you already had it active. Oh wait I created that one... and then beefup to spellup others.
Please make games do this.. it would make the game easier to manage and less drudgery. Its hard for me to play without that spellup command. Even just the simple 3-4 spells in Oblivion you had to constantly cast.. and its ANNOYING!!
Your missing the point. Those were so easy to get past.
Hexedit the answers to all be blank.. so blank compare to enter.. = in. When the enter is pressed, it does a comparison and if they compare it runs the good code, change the CMP JZ to a straight JMP.. and your off.
Wait.. I must be living in the past..
INT 13 calls to a damaged floppy were interesting!
This is an excellent comment. Why be Anonymous Coward unless... UNLESS you are the PEDO.. quick where are your records? Just ask George Bush and find out who is making the phone calls from a police station. Wait.. are you GEORGE? BUSH!!!!!
I got my first 800 meg, formatted down to 660 meg, SCSI drive w/ adaptect controller for 2149 bucks. MAN I was living large! Then I got the 2 gig for 1000 bucks and loved it.
Now I sit back and get 250G drives for 60 bucks w/ rebate (or woot!). Then I remember my first CD burner was 1000.. and now I get them for 40 dollars for DVD burners... and think...
At least my job is in the Computer Industry otherwise I would have wasted all that money for no gain.
Each book has a Barcode on it right? Does it not identify the book in some way? Maybe the ISBN number is in the barcode?
My problem is that it takes FOREVER to data input my 6k+ book collection. Getting a barcode reader that auto translates it into some database format would ROCK. I could just physically organize the books and scan them as I do so.
My father got rid of over 9 thousand books and gave them to a library. I think they are still trying to catalog all of them:)
Alas... you do forget? That with a.xxx it would then be easy to filter at work and thus you cannot watch pr0n and Slashdot while drinking at work anymore in the cozy little corner office.
Thus the amount of subscriptions to the sites go way down.. they switch back to.com and all is safe again.
I have seen you on Battle.net before and it was fun to meet you. What I have found that in running an online game for many years is that people love there names. Names are important as it is how people address you and it is perfectly normal to feel as you do.
One of the rules we have is that names cannot be profane or Mock another player. I use the name "Winston" as my handle and you will find people logging in with "WinstonSucks" or other names. Its rather funny but its pretty much clear they want to be denied. I find those easy to deal with. Its the ones with strange names like Pwned or other things. I tend to let them as it also shows level of maturity.
I have chosen to modify my name at times online. Since my online game is "The Mage's Lair" and we have had several clans in outside games.. I am known a lot as TML_Winston. It makes it more specific.
CmdrTaco is a valid name and I feel for you. I would think that you could use your celebrity to win this battle. Contact Blizzard as a representative of Slashdot.. I am sure many of the GM's may know who you are.
If you change your name try: TheCmdrTaco or Slashdot_Taco.
I noted that the companies are living off of it. We all benefit from the Internet and its organization. The organization that the US created and maintained from US Taxpayer dollars.
Its fine and dandy that people want to remove control from the US because they are fearful of what the US does overseas.. but that does not diminish or make the fact irrelevant that without the US there would be no internet today.
If IBM sold its services division it would get billions of dollars. If the US were to get compensated for the Service of the Internet.. it would be in the billions as well.
You make some good points.. but my question has to do with cash..
The US spent billions on developing the internet and infrastructure. Companies are living off of it right now.
Should not the US be compensated for the cost if they are to lose control? If we take the business model then we are talking a buyout and X amount of cash would have to be forked over.
Okay now to general statements you dont need to read unless you want to:)
I frankly dont care who runs the internet as long as its FREE and not blocked. right now, in general, thats the case. The EU has been trying as well as the AU to censor certain sites. Finland rounds up websites, US rounds up websites, etc.. all around. The Internet changing hands would mean a larger amount of chaos for a bit.
The war in Iraq has the US stating they went in for UN reasons but we know its to remove Saddam because he tried to assasinate George Bush Sr. A US Citizen may reject that.. but heck.. is that not good enough reason? Taking out your leaders has started WW1 and many other wars. The problem is the US trying to cloak its actions under War of Terror.. which is Justified in Afghanistan and other places (Somalia, Georgia, and Maybe Syria/Iran).
Show me a country without a history of some sort of issue and I will sell you some ocean front property in Arizona.. there is not any.
So.. end of all.. the US paid for the Internet, developed it.. If one body should continue to run it.. why not the US? If no one can be trusted, Pay the US off and make it distributed.
A Philosphy professor once defined relgion as someone doing something and others trying to understand what happened.
Religion is the belief in some cause that cannot be proved beyond a shadow of a doubt. The Athiesm is belief that there is no god. This cannot be proved either yes or no. A God cannot be proved either yes or no. Both are causes that cannot be proved.
Agnostic is DOUBT not certainty. You cannot be a true athiest if you have doubt that there is a god. Thats the purpose here.
Your statement "Faith has no place in science" completly misses how many including Stephen Hawkins have stated that you must have Faith. Its very simple to assume that Science and Faith are seperate but they are based in the end on assumptions.. Math is design to describe what we see but it is still an Assumption. To say otherwise is to CLOSE your mind to possibilities.
I think that evolution is how we came to be. I think that the methodology is NOT fully understood and thus people can ask questions. I also think that I know WHY I am here. That is answered not by Science but by Faith.
Its amazing that you say you are not following Reference.com definition of religion (#4) when you are talking and defending the belief you have.. which by the definition means you are in a religion. The zeal in which you answer your questions and the thought process in which you obviously think about define it as such.
Btw, I have never espoused a Religion as defined by what man has stated here. If you wish to try and define me.. thats fine but I will say I believe in a God, and I believe that Faith is how we live either by Science, Religion, or just expectations. For what are expectations but faith engrained.
Religion is the belief in something that is inherently based on Faith. Regardless of what reference.com or anything may say.
You have to have Faith to believe that there is NO GOD. That is a leap just as having faith that there is a God. We are creatures of Faith and we use it everyday.
When you get up in the morning you have faith the sun is still in the sky. Science is a form of faith based on observable instances.. but it all comes down to theory and assumptions. Math is based on a point that is assumed to exist.
To answer your question based on your reference.com: #4: Athiesm is a Religion based on a cause, principle, AND activity pursered with zeal or consecientious devotion.
Agnostic is the uncertainity that there may or may not be a God. That is where a lot of people live.

Thanks. It took me a YEAR to convince my wife to get the 50 incher.
:)
Now I can start working on her for the Laser one.
I think I need to get more than OTA HD broadcasts though
If only she would go back to work. We could buy stuff when it comes out again!
-
Marriage isnt a Word, its a Sentence.
Why couldnt someone tell me about this LAST WEEK when I could have waited another 7 years for Laser to come down to 3500 in price!

Man Wrestling shows must really have gotten good for WWE RAW to change your life. In love with John Cena are we?
You forgot.. we cannot talk about Jebuz anymore. They are taking all our symbols away. Its the other religions we can talk about.

We have always had enflamatory Radio.. may I refer you to the 20's and 30's with Huey Long?
Only it REQUIRES a Passport account.
BLAH BLAH BLAH.

I really thought that for a minute..
CHEERS to you !!
500 bucks? you are so lucky to get off that way.

Excellent. I wasnt the only one who is educated and thought I needed a new schooling so I can get an Auto Job!
Wait.. they are getting layed off too...
What next?
Now thats funny!
But they dont want to be called "Duetchies" right?
I just wish they had not modded this as Funny..
I think its a sign of respect to call people from a country what they wish to be called.. and we are Americans and not USians.
I dont call Germans - Huns because thats derogatory now.. even though they could be.
Why was this funny to someone? because they dont know the power of words.

Lack of belief is belief in the opposite. If you cant see this.. so be it.
I will no longer be insulted by you calling me dishonest and a troll. How smart it must make you feel.
