I cxl'd because too many guilds I put a lot of time & money into disolved.
I dedicated a lot of resources to each guild I was in over 4 years. Donations of gold & pots > 500K GP. Rarely even got a thank you. Raiders looked down on casual players. PvP was fun, but the maps never changed (adding 1 or two pvp areas just didn't do it for me)It just got boring.
sometimes I miss it, but I don't want to pay first to be able to go back when I want. I discovered a ton of games since then, Batman AA, Mass Effect I & II, TF2 (again), StarCraft II, AOE beta, Ghostbusters, etc..
Back in my day, if you offended someone, you tell them it wasn't personal and move on. Now we have both extremes.... People going out of their way to personally offend others, and people who are offended by simple shapes.
fair enough. Thanks for the history lesson. Today's sheople are just as stupid, and I guess that's a concern I never would have imagined. Simply because I can't fathom the idea of intollerance to sex, race,creed, or political affiliation in this country.
Becuase sometimes, the vendor doesn't have a 1 page cheat sheet, and your client will not read a 10 page dissertation on the whys and hows to do a task.
Most likely their membership,in this day of social media, is already made public by the individual anyway. Most who belong to a group publicly proclaimed thier group status.
People like disclosing information to the point that the glut and flood of info about any given person is so vast that targeting a specific idividual or even group from the sea of information is difficult, and requires personal motivation. If that motivation is already there for an individual or group, they will get their info anyway.
So is your point that someone from the opposing viewpoint could... send them a letter? Murder them? I just don't get what's horrible about that.(not murder, bear with me here..) There are already laws against wrong doing, and there is an easier way to determine membership. Become a member, then request a list of other members. That's legal, may be ethically wrong, but if you are going to do something bad w/ that data anyway, might as well go in all covert like, exploit them, and go all the way right?
Secret Societies not withstanding(But if you gather 100+ people in 1 place... it's not much of a secret anymore)
Besides, Personal Privacy is gone! We chose to give that up a long time ago. Look at the news. Names for suspects are published every day. No one cares who the eff actually did the crime, but we can all see the suspects face on the 5 o'Clock news.
I don't doubt if Big bro knows every time my co-worker has dicked his wife and secretary in the same day, but even if they "know" it, they can't recall it w/o an oom error. Sure, soon there will be the power for that too, but then, who the hell would want to prosecute every little case?
Simply put, your parents can punish you when you do something wrong, but only if you are caught. The only thing it will change, is...
Nothing, and you got sneakier. You learned not to take cookies unless they were gone. You are still going to put your hand in the cookie jar.
The corp is still going to lie cheat and steal. But the ones who have more people watching, are going to have more attention paid to them, just like now...
That's why we should all follow weadon's rule, individuals, and corps alike.
Lastly, it kind of reminds me of nudist colony. You're not sportin wood if you see the same stuff everyday. Or like work. Remember when you got the job? You were going to do great things. Are you still excited to go in? Do you wake up wondering how you can make your boss happier? You should especially if you work for yourself! You just can't do it EVERY day, and so life becomes routine...

I pretty much only use my phone for facebook. Less adds for apps that steal your soul, and I'm that kind of guy who doesn't want his soul stolen you know?
Most people are used to takign tickets, they take a ticket and they fix an incedent. Sometimes an incident is just stupid user error, sometimes it's a config error.
However, every now and then, there is some ghost error that you can't replicate, but exists intermittently on an enterprise scale. The "A-Team" where we work is supossed to be an advanced troubleshooting team, who's other duties are re-allocated so they can focus entirely on one issue.
These aren't your stnd network and desktop geeks. This is the best person from every IT team. A PM, a network guru, a server guy, an analyst, an app admin, a developer or two, and a super user or two (for out of the box ideas). You switch roles, exchange ideas, and generally dig deep until you either find the problem or reach the back of the CIO's teeth.
I forgot to mention she has everything on an x-25m.
That might have something to do with it. I tell her "she has the faster" computer but mine has WAY more horsepower. Since 99.9 % of her utilization is zunepass, outlook, and IE. I really can't fault microsoft. She for some reason really likes them.
If mac users want blistering performance, just like a pc user, they have to pay to upgrade their card. The only differance is I can get a cheaper Dell, and slap in a 5870 or whatever, and be on the A game when it comes to frame rates.
In a Mac, you have to first kneel down, give old jobs a kiss, Pull out your now maxed credit card and buy a the same 5870, plug it in, viola.
Or, you can build your PC like almost all gamers do (even custom ordered counts here). get the best $/Perf ratio possible and smoke a mac like a joint in a college dorm room for about 2/3rds the cost. Think getting Muai wowie, or Blueberry yum yum for the price of mexican dirtweed.
Granted, Macs have their place. Many people are technophobic. Don't want to plug in a motherboard, don't want viruses & malware. Want a true plug & play experience. I'm not too prideful to admit it, they get that w/ MAC, and that kind of experience is worth the price.
Now, Microsoft is finally closing the gap, Windows 7 is a GREAT product from my experience. No bluescreens yet, and I'm on cutting edge hardware & 64bit. Shit just works, keeps working, and is 2x faster than any Mac I've ever heard about. (My machine isn't a fair comparison since I got a lot of parts / software for free)
A civil infraction does not go on your criminal record, in WA it only goes on your driving record, and it's dropped from insurance view every 3 yrs, and police view every 7, and is allways available to the FBI.
I'm sorry to hear about Florida. That's crazy! but then again, that's Florida. (hence Adam Carolla's game...)

indeed, camera based scanners are a workaround at best. Hardly worth mentioning if you need to scan more than 5-10 objects / day.

If in Win7, the startup time on the VM goes down if I flip the V switch in Bios?
w/o it, the time to start a virtual XP session takes a while on a pretty quick system.

the 2nd sentance should be eliminated.
RCA is a process done AFTER you determine the cause. We do a regional RCA monthly. The RCA process usually happens after resolution.
RCA isn't necessarilly done by the top of the top, but most on the board are more than competent.

They reproduce so fast, and easily, as well as survive a ton of different conditions.

Yeah, my love is rotten to the core.
