I have had that same problem happen to me before the expansion (rarely) and after the expansion (too many times to list).. Once again last night with an invisible ogre damaging me till i vanished (my companion didnt see anything either and we couldnt figure out until I vanished, why we were in combat and couldnt mount) as well as a vulture that i was stacking up combo points on yet was taking no damage, yet I was till I ran away.
The bugs are there. Alot more than before the expansion.
"Microsoft has never had the power to exclude competitors from the market"
Yo crackhead. You forgot when MS muscled OS/2 out of the market when it started strong arming the manufacturers that were offering pre-installed dual booting systems. They threatened to pull their contracts to pre-instal OS/2 - oh yeah Netscape too back then. I had forgotten Netscape.
Linux was barely on the map then. They have been pulling this crap for a long time.
I have NO IDEA what others are running that got them banned. I play almost EVERY day (yes an addict). I have played since about a month after the game was released.
I have never used windoze. Slackware Linux with Cedega.
I never got banned. I read all the posts over at cedega and feared the worst, but never a problem.
Shifting focus to advertizing?!?! They have ALWAYS been into advertizing. Hell, they market piles of shit and people buy it. They are advertizing KINGS!
You have to run 1 app/per server in the windows world. Even our windows programmers keep telling me that every windows box is stable as hell. It's until you load the apps that it becomes unstable. And it could be true. I wouldnt know. But we have some SHARP windows programmers!
You are in for a treat. It is a great device. I'd recommend getting the case for it. The power supply is a must as well as some good high output ni-mh batteries. TV adapter is a good addition
I had a Rio PmP300, PmP500, then a 256M iRiver. The iRiver blew me away. I now have an 899-T and I use the line-in at 320k to hook up to a reel-to-reel and other odd devices to record some great stuff. I had Rush: Exit Stage Left on Betamax tape. Hooked the iRiver to the headphone out on the Beta Hi-Fi and it sounds great. I dont feel like lugging that equipment to my computer to digitize so the iRiver rocks. Having a line-in would rock on the GP2X.
Someone did make a USB host hub and sold them. But it seemed it was a personal project by a guy in England that has since pulled his web ads off for personal reasons. He had the cable I need to fix my unit. I dont feel like building my own equipment. I wish you could get these commercially. Even the serial cable to see the linux boot and interact as a console I'd love to see commercially.
You supposedly can network over USB with the current firmware. Telnet, HTTP, and FTP minimally.
I wouldnt know as I bought mine from GP32z.com. I tried upgrading the firmware to the latest to try all this new functionality out. Finally found a card that the thing would upgrade with (almost any SD card works for normal use, but only CERTAIN cards can be used to upgrade). Finally get my "Upgrading Firmware..." screen. But it never goes away. 15 minutes later and with help from peeps on #gp2xdev, decided to reset it and see what i get.. A brick...
I have been mailing GP32z.com repeatedly asking if they can help me fix the unit or even point me in the right direction. I have only had the thing for a month. It was GREAT until this... I have heard that other vendors take the units back and reflash them. I hear it requires special cables and stuff that you could do on your own, but I am not that kind of hacker.
I highly recommend the GP2X. It is a WONDERFUL device! I watched TV shows on it. The MP3 player is good. MAME on it rocks. I wanted to buy some of the commercial games just coming out for it now. Even hooked it up to my TV - looked awesome. The picture viewer is STELLAR! I just popped in a SD card from my NIKON and was browsing away. I even used the Text viewer for some Mark Twain books acquired from Project Gutenberg.
This is a GREAT device. Dont buy it from GP32z.com. Someone else will have to recommend a vendor, but I know others will help you out if your device becomes a brick. Make sure you have good post sales support.
You dont need a DOS-box... I believe there were native versions of WP 6, 7, & 8 for linux including the character based version. I still have and use 7 & 8.
Supposedly all their portables do, that I have read.
Plus when you select MP3/OGG you lose WMA. That is not a concern for me but maybe others. Their players dont seem to be able to do everything at once.
My big beef with their ifp line (I have owned 2) is that when you decide to use the UMS firmware you give up being able to record with the line-in/mic at anything higher than 96k. Yet if you use their manager firmware you can record at up to 320k. I 3 UMS... I dont like to carry abound a CD with either the linux or the windoze software/drivers on it just so i can plug it into a friends machine and transfer music. Hell I put programs on it just like a hard drive all the time. I cant use their manager version. But I like to use the ifp as a kick ass recorder for cassettes, i have used it for recording from the headphone out to the line in on a betamax for Rush Exit Stage Left. It was out on Beta and Laserdisc, but I dont think its available on VHS or dvd... I just wanted a CD soundtrack to listen to in my car. thats when I discovered alot of this stuff.
Kick ass unit... Convenient as hell! Oddball quirks with no good reason...

You have just perfectly described Fallen Samurai Dynasty on Garithos. Nice job!
OMG - so much more missing. This was totally not enjoyable at all.. I was hoping to see so much more that meant something.
OS/2? The first and only Object oriented desktop. Nothing has come close...
SCO's Open Desktop - based on mtif, but I did a lot otdesk scripting which made it the bomb for me back then.
Not to mention all the others missing that you mentioned. This page was a joke.

I wouldnt mind trying out the Linux version. If it works, I never pass up good software.
Where is it?

You can buy audio CD burners to hook up to your stereo system. These ONLY accept "audio" CDs. They will not accept "data" CDs for recording.

Wow... I cant believe it was forgotten so fast.
VHS is STILL out there... DVDs replaced LASERDISCs. Which had DTS/DD sound, almost the same resolution, chapters, etc. etc. etc.
DVDs hold more and are more convenient. I cant buy LD anymore. I can sill pick up a VHS movie of the latest title.
DVDs didn't replace CDs. DVDs replaced VHS.
errrrrrr... VHS is still out there.... DVDs replaced LASERDISCs! Which had almost the same resolution but lacked menus and promos you couldnt skip.
You dont need a DOS-box... I believe there were native versions of WP 6, 7, & 8 for linux including the character based version. I still have and use 7 & 8.
If you are... I am...
Thanks for the tip - downloading ;-)
Just break out the sonic screwdriver and reverse the polarity of the neutron flow.
Quite accurate

Maybe you should read the next sentence:
Now, it's the operating system used on nearly 95 percent of all the desktops and notebooks sold worldwide.
Thats alot of stupid sheep. What was the point?
I think I still have it somewhere and it was a character based app. MS Word for SCO Unix.
I guess you didnt get passsed the header...
:-P
"OpenWengo an open source alternative to skype."
I went to that net2phone link you have up there. Its not holding a candle to Skype. Skype has clients for other systems than Windoze...
Ya gotta read past the heading, man!
You meant thru their acquisitions, of course...
Linux Today carries Microsoft ads. How convoluted is that?
