I'm seriously blown away by how great of a scientist this guy was. I mean, its 100 years later and he is STILL being proved correct. Imagine what we could do if we still had this guy around. Its just so amazing to me.
I just read this and its geared towards High School crowd. Its about how technology rules our lives and these people hook up via the "Feed" ala Matrix. Check it out.
Like others have pointed out here, the reason people like me use Glider is simple. I work long hours at the office. I also take night classes. So my time is very limited. Grinding in WOW is brutal. The best part of any MMORPG for me is PvP. However, it would take me months, if not years to achieve the maximum level with my time constraints.
So a program like Glider allows me to hit the maximum level and then go enjoy the PvP. I was ALWAYS at my keyboard when Glider was running as to not interfere with others enjoyment.
I paid for 6 months of WOW a few years back. The next day, Blizzard banned my account and did not refund my $60. I personally felt robbed. So I hope the creator of Glider really wins this. I actually went back and bought WOW somewhat recently and leveled by myself to 45, but now I am hitting the grind and I cant bear to log in anymore.
In light of all this, I may just start running Glider again. If I get banned, oh well, Ill just stop playing permanently. But for people like me who want to just be able to PvP an hour or two night, Glider is a God send.

I am a casual WoW player as well and a /. user. However, I don't endlessly troll WoW websites for this type of information.
So mods, I like this type of news. If you dont like the posts, dont read them. Thanks!
Because the gameplay is repetitive and boring. For me, creating a good profile is fun. Again, I make sure I am ALWAYS atk.
I used to use skunkworks for Asherons Call. Some people actually enjoy creating scripts that help in the tedious parts of the game.
And if time is an issue (meaning you have a life), these programs help so much.

I installed SP1 last night. Played Call of Duty 4 for a few hours. Play a little WOW, then played some World in Conflict before I went to bed.
No issues came up. Like others have pointed out, the fact that dozens had issues, I would consider this release a major success.
Now time to go play some COD4.
I have a socket 939 board with a 1950 pro.
I don't have any problems playing the latest games with this setup. This rig could be built for probably $350.
The problem I see is for those that demand insanely high resolutions. While this may matter to some people, I can live without it.
