I'm *glad* your multiboxing doesn't work. I think multiboxing should be banned. Totally unfair when it comes to PVP. Never mind when someone like http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=14611&pageNo=1 this enters your zone, you don't stand a chance at questing anywhere near him(her). Think of it like the proverbial 'Bull in a China shop'. (He's on Aegwyn, incidentally...)
I don't care what argument you use, you're not in control of each of your characters. Proof? Your own words: ...it almost always breaks "/follow" which means I have to stop and manually move my followers forward till my main appears then re-follow.
The argument for allowing multi-boxing has always been 'well, the players are in control of all the characters'. No they're not. Do you manually cast each spell (if you're a caster) on each toon set to '/follow'? No. You don't. All spells are cast from the main.
So, I can't say I'm disappointed that you're having problems with your multi-box setup. I also understand that this is the way you enjoy the game, but please understand that it takes the enjoyment *out* of the game for many others.
Bliz won't do anything about it as they're happily collecting revenue from each account.
What this guy is trying to say is that with Slack, you're going to have to use a terminal. Start with slack, get used to the terminal. You'll learn. You'll thank that random guy on/. that said 'Get used to the terminal'. Ubuntu is all GUI tools. When those fail (and they do), you have to go to the terminal anyway.
Yes, I meant to say 'terminal' several times in this post. Do you see a theme here? Welcome to Linux. (If this is your first Linux distro, try Slack, *then* try the others. You'll be back.)
"you can't smash crates or barrels or whatever to see what is inside them"
You want every container you see to be breakable? First off, I get it now. You've only ever played Zelda games. Second, do you know how ridiculous that is? Do you want to be able to look behind every single painting? Read every single book? I'm sure they'll hire 1000 more developers and get right on that for you. = So I guess you've never played Oblivion?
I also got a console yesterday - I had to do damn server moves all day, so couldn't get home to play until almost 7:00 at night. We knew the guy that owned the store, so he reserved a console for us. My wife picked it up at 5:00, seeing as I was at work all day anyway. All the games were sold out. Everywhere. Guess where I bought Zelda? Blockbuster video - for only 5.00 more than the game store. Sweet! This is a small console. Very Apple-like. The cable for the sensor bar is *really* long (12 feet?). The Wiimote is smaller than expected - batteries almost double the mass of the unit - so it's light too. I'm 6'2" - there was worry of a short nunchuck cable, but I can hold the nunchuck on my chest and make large sweeping arm movements with cord to spare. Nunchuck feels good. The rubber on teh analogue stick is not too rubbery, and not too plasticky.
So far, I've hit a table with the Wiimote, my son hit the light in the basement (on the ceiling) and my wife put a dent in the roof. I've never had so much fun breaking shit. AND - not a scratch on the Wiimote. The Mii's are a whole hell of a lot of fun to create. They spectate when you play the WiiSports, too! (look behind you when you're bowling, for example.) I've only played Tennis, Bowling and Boxing. Boxing is 'meh', but I only boxed one round (you use both controllers to box...and you get TIRED! It's fantastic.)
The Wii connected to my 3com AP with absolutely no problems - All common encryption schemes supported. Channel selection is slim right now, but that will change. On to Zelda...
GET IT. I got yelled at because I was 'cutting grass' too much. This game is much darker than those in the past, and the controller scheme is flawless. (You can run and swing the sword now...)
I'm holding out on games as the reviews arent' in yet (Red Steel I hear is not so good).
Big N has a real winner here. Opera. Online. Swinging virtual swords. George Lucas, I hope you're paying attention. I want to hear my Wiimote make that tell-tale lightsabre sound...
Other topics to be discussed include spying on the US, countering United Nations efforts, hacking for military secrets, laundering money, limiting access to information (such as news, especially from the West), and whitewashing history ("June 4th Incident, 1989? Never heard of it!".)

We'll see how well this works a year after release. That said, it's about damn time MS did something about IE.
Slashdot really is more entertaining when you give the Trolls a +6 modifier. I'm happily reading along at +3, reading insightful(debatable) and funny(debatable) comments, when I happen along FUCKIGN WHORE! It makes me laugh.

We're *just now* upgrading to XP. Who really cares what the requirements for Vista are? In 4 or 5 years time, we'll be upgrading to Vista - after the OS has had several patches and a couple of service packs. I think MS is well aware of this trend in the business world. Those fanboys that want the latest and greatest already *have* the latest and greatest hardware. Get over it already.
I will add that requiring Vista for Halo2 is a bit slimey, but hey...what did you really expect? The business world isn't biting, MS needs to hook *someone*.

You are correct. I can't seem to find any references to DOM2 being included in IE8, while they tout the inclusion of HTML5 support...
I use Konqueror, btw.

Right. Check that to see if you can change your scroll wheel sensitivity. Google it too. Good luck.
Any place yet to change the scroll speed of my mouse? Seriously. KDE has it.
Root kit.
So yeah, fuck Sony. What else are they hiding?
Why don't we remove all our photocopiers from our libraries while we're at it?

Check your network connection. I've had no such problems - remember - some channels aren't ready yet.

Popular Science got one about a week ago, and broke it, so they made the best out of a bad situation.

This sort of blatant disregard for the English language is simply intolerable.
