Blame yourself. Such spells have been in OD&D/AD&D/3E for over 20 years. It's your, and other game developers, fault that you do not program your games with a wider range of spells.
From the linked article...
"Long story short, I know as far as character development goes, I wouldn't mind seeing other avenues of magic explored that are not solely designed to buff your character and destroy an enemy... anything to give magic that element of mystery and exploration. Spells that commune with spirits, provide psychometry of objects, or anything that goes beyond "3-18+2 Electrical in a two meter radius." Spells that make you wonder what the hell they're going to DO when you let them fly."
And if the countries we 'rain cruise missles down on' would stop supporting people who think it is ok to kill bus loads of women/kids then, perhaps, we would not bomb them.

GPS Signals Jammed During Tank Trials
Lieutenant Colonel Lester W. Grau, US Army, Retired
Based on 6 August 2000 reports in The Sunday Times of London, Agence France-Presse and the 25 September 2000 Elevtheros Tipos, Athens
The highly accurate Global Positioning System (GPS) supports modern ground forces as they move and shoot. Maps and compasses stay in cases as digitized forces quickly use GPS to determine their location and the enemy's. Although map-reading skills atrophy, few worry that GPS may suddenly provide erroneous information or cease working. Still, US Army equipment has already faced attacks on GPS functions--by allies.
In August 2000 the Greek government sponsored a tank competition at Litokhoro to determine the Greek army's next tank--a deal worth $1.4 billion for 250 tanks. Competitors included the British Challenger 2E, the US M1A1 Abrams, the German Leopard 2A5 and the French Leclerc. During the trials, the British and US tanks had navigation problems despite using multiple GPS satellites to determine their positions precisely. After the embarrassing performance, officials discovered that the GPS satellites were being jammed--by a French security agency. Less than a foot high, the jammers transmitted stronger signals than satellites on the same frequency. The jammers were reportedly hidden on the firing range and remotely activated as US and British tanks were tested.
Greek defense officials found the jamming episode rather amusing and discounted the associated technical problems. The threat remains: if an ally can create such havoc during a test, what effect could hostile GPS jamming have during combat?
InnoDB Hot Backup is a tool which allows you to backup a running InnoDB database without setting any locks or disturbing normal database processing. You get a consistent copy of your database, as if the copy were taken at a precise point in time. InnoDB Hot Backup is also the ideal method of setting up new slaves if you use the MySQL replication on InnoDB tables.
For how many server computers you want to order an evaluation copy, or 1-year licenses (390 euros or 450 US dollars each), or perpetual licenses (990 euros or 1150 US dollars each); discounts are available for large volume orders.
You said the goverment should tax itself! THE GOVERMENT HAS NO MONEY. It gets it all from taxes! So if your 'idea' goes thru then the goverment of florida will just raise other taxes to by your tax.
Slashdot Mirror
How about the states/feds start doing what most normal people do when they have less money coming in.
STOP SPENDING SO MUCH FSCKING MONEY.
Just look at the budget for you state and see how much money they waste.
You must not have meet any of the Gentoo people yet.
:->
They make the firewire people look sane.
How did you find out my master plan!!!
PINKY! Here, NOW!
Then how should these non-profits fund their operation?

No. I know of no plans that would call for Europe paying for MOST of Iraq.
See, those four little letters (most), mean something.
Well, the USA is paying most of the costs for the damn thing, so why shouldn't we get the most control?
How much of a cut will the PRC/PLA get of the fees that the EU will charge for access to the 'good' quality signals?
And if the countries we 'rain cruise missles down on' would stop supporting people who think it is ok to kill bus loads of women/kids then, perhaps, we would not bomb them.
I have to ask, why do you think China (of all places) is better than the USA?

It's just more targets for our (The USA's) antisat weapons program.
If they are in the impact area they ARE ALREADY DEAD.
"There is no obvious good utility for an atomic weapon of any kind."
Yes, they stopped the two great powers of the last half of the 1900's from killing each other.
Their main task is to never be used, to just sit there and look evil.
That we have them to use discourages their use.
You are only saying that because you "SUPPORT THE TERRORISTS!"
Prison.
Just 'google' for it.
It doesn't get that cold in Texas.
"and in California he can pretty much just make ends meet and maybe buy a few gadgets."
Just in case you missed the memo. CA is not the only state in the Union. It is quite a bit cheaper to live in most other states.
How is my post a troll? The information is taken from their website.
Wrong. It's just me and you. I created all the other 600,000+ accounts because I was board and needed someone to talk to.
Sorry you got caught up in the joke.

The Itanium 2 draws about 124 watts.
The Opteron draws about 85 watts.
My math skills may not be that great, but it looks like the AMD chip uses 31% less power than the Itanium 2.
