Explination: pots, potions in diablo 2. qeynos = SonyEQ backwards (everquest) Gelatinous cube (some thing that lived under qeynos actually, but didn't have a good loot) And I recall some hatchet/tomahawk that rangers liked to camp somewhere around level 25-30. And it was 1 handed if I remember.
I was actaully a wiz, so I camped staffs.
I quit EQ 5.5 years ago. I got married 5 years ago. Quitting was a prerequisite.
Wow, I just thought about the possible extra pain this would cause a gamer... Say you're approaching your 3 hour mark, then that super glowing all-powerful hatchet of mercyless death weidling gelatinious cube spawns... You start hacking away, get it down to 25% health, down a few more pots.... Link dead.
Come back the next day and you're respawned back in qeynos, lost exp, lost $$$, lost your group and wasted 3 hours.
They were a lot of fun, came with motors, gears, wheels, fan blades, all sorts of cool stuff. They weren't cheap though, but I sure enjoyed them. Looking at this site, either the price has come down, or I was really poor as a child.
Remember that story last year when someone thought it was newsworthy that Intel was stopping production of the P2-266? In light of that, I think 20gig drives should be easy to come buy, especially with all the mp3 players with them.
The problem is that this is being posted on slashdot. Everyone on slashdot ALREADY KNOWS that this is sysadmin day. This needs to be posted on MSN, CNN, AOL and the like. Those are the people that need to know when sysadmin day are. Hell, we need to get some evil spammer to mail all the world, and let them know that the last friday in july is and forever will be SYSF'ING ADMIN DAY.
Can you tell from my response that I told everyon last year, and reminded them earlier this week what sysadmin day was. Did I get a gift card from Bestbuy? A case of bawlz? A cool LED/Laser/Plasma anything? Something off my thinkgeek/newegg/etc wishlist? LUNCH!?!?!?!
When an article is "posted" the first thing that happens is every link in the article is compared to a URL_table that only has links, and the ID of the article linked.
If there's a match, return the user to the posting page, put "DUPE ALERT" at the top, and give links to all the matching articles. Then the poster can use his most powerful computer (brain) to see if they are truley are, and they probably will be, URL's are pretty unique.
If there is no match, then post the story, and add all the stories links the URL table.
Here's what needs to be in the URL table: ID, StoryID, URL
Pretty simple eh?
Want to make it have less false positives? ID, StoryID, URL, Date
Then when you do your match, only look for matches in the last year...
I think in this case I'd say you left a set of tools sitting in the guy's kitchen, in his way.
I have exactly the same problem, I have my laptop setup to auto-connect to the best network because it's very convienent while traveling. Then suddenly the guy in the office downstairs gets an AP, puts it on the same channel as mine (dumbass) and leaves it insecure. So I suddenly get connected to his stinking network and all my servers are unavailable. So I went down there, had a talk with him about security and for free, secured his network. 2 weeks later, it's called linksys again and it's insecure. I go down and ask him why "Oh, we had someone else come in, and we couldn't find the codes (he meant wep keys) so we just reset it. Great hu?"
Yeah, great....
So now, I have a WAP that I sat as close to his office as possible. It's on the same channel as his, it has an antenna pointing at his office, it's wide ass open, the SSID is linksys (even though it's not a linksys), and it has no connection to the internet. awe......
I mean, this effects all of us, so it should be Class action. The winnings should be shared among the world population. If the lawyers did this pro bono (we know better) that would mean $300,000,000/6534663907 http://www.ibiblio.org/lunarbin/worldpop
That gives us all about 5 cents. Mail mine please.
I wouldn't think so. I don't think it's discovered until LONG after the crime has been committed. If someone stole my social (922-56-8335) and then got all of my unemployment benefits, I would probably never notice, because I have no IDEA what benefits I have coming. I MIGHT find out years from now, but a crook who spent half a second think about what they were doing is not going to have the checks sent to their home address. They'd be smart to have each check sent to a different PO box. I think if I was a mailbox etc employee I'd notice 100 Gov checks coming to a single mailbox.
Everyone has their preference... IDE's, Languages, platforms. Mine's no better than anyone else's but I like it, and I think others will to.
I use Dreamweaver, then I immediatly installed Impakt (interakt.ro.)
It's not free by any stretch, but it lets me create PHP websites in record time. Spend your time tweaking your styles and layouts, not calculating tr's/td's by hand.
It uses ADODB, so the PHP that it generates can be used on just about any database. But to get you started, MySQL, Oracle, MSSQL, Postgres...
Coding by hand is perfect for learning from scratch.
I think it would be cool if we could add off-load cards to our computer that programs could use when available. Much like servers can have SSL cards that they offload all cryptography too. Imagine a Cell processor on a PCI-X card, all graphics programs could use it (photoshop, 3dsmax, Edit) and even the video card could give it some jobs to do if it would be faster. While we're at it, lets take all the system memory and slap it in upgradeable cards. Why should the machine be limited to 2 Dimm slots. They already have cards with memory to run as harddrives (flash drives)
Yeah, I know... pipedream. I just think we should be able to add speed to our computer as easily as we can add capacity (memory, drivespace)
I agree, I use the calc key, but my KB also has something else I love. In the top right corner it has a knob for the volume surounded by buttons for forward, back, stop play/pause and mute. I could not live with out it. I use the vol knob and next song a LOT more than my calc button. A little touch of my thumb and Radioparadise or club977 or somafm or y-rock goes up or down. It's sweet!
And the best part, I didn't have to load drivers... The keyboard has internet nav buttons as well, but I've never bothered. Not sure if they work without drivers.
I agree with you on almost all of those examples... Except for one. Pepsi can't hold a candle to Coke! I'm from the south (AL), if I ask for a coke you better not bring me a damn pepsi. Gimme my coke or go get a freakin' SWEET ICED tea.
At work, I use a machine with 2 20" sony CRT's and a 15" Dell LCD)It works great, work area on one screen, pallets and toolbars on the other, results on the 3rd (Photoshop and dreamweaver)
I also work at home, and don't have an office. We have a small computer desk, with just one screen, the kids are constantly pulling on it or otherwise messing it up. If I could replace it with this laptop, I could put it away when I wasn't using it, and not have to worry about the kids. I'd set it on the kitchen table, or on my LAP on the couch. I don't need to drag it around much, so I don't care how big it is. Hell, gimme a 21"
Don't you love those.net error messages? They are so much more pretty than the apache error messages. They really make it clear, "This is a.net error, we have the prettiest errors, and something is really wrong. Matter of fact, the server is just TOO BUSY."
Then after saying their too busy, they get into the BSOD type text for us REALLY techie types, talking about unhandled exceptions and stack traces.
What I don't quite understand is why they take such care to make sure these beautiful error messages are nicely coded with CSS, but there is ONE font tag tainting the whole thing. It really is a shame...
I really feel better knowing that IIS is giving everyone such appealing error messages and in so much detail. Thanks IIS
What is a 6MB T1?? I have a T1 here at the office, and it's 1.5MB, and we pay around $400. Now, if I had 4 of them, that would be 6MB worth of T1. Or we could go T3, and get it tuned down to 6MB, but that would cost more than 4 T1's...
So, what's a 6MB T1? 4 bonded T's?
We also have this nifty little snapgear router, that also accepts a second connection, that I have a 6MB comcast link plugged into. The T1 is the default route for the mail servers, comcast is for the users... It's obviously not bonded, but it fails over to the other should one go down... and with my secondary MX and DNS pointed to the semi-permenant comcast IP, I've got some cheap ass redundancy....

I thought of something similar some get at puberty, that rhymes with zit...
