There have been patches around all the time, the users are just lazy to apply them.
I once read on the net about a tool called electric fence, I wasn't able to do a lot of research on it since it was a little technical, I got scared when they said I had to be careful about memory leaks.
You can always apply an iron fence patch, or something like that, anyway.
Best RPG.. Morrowind?

Ive played it, its nice but I wouldnt rate it the best RPG of 2002, Neverwinter Nights is more like it, but I still have my issues with action-RPGs. I grew with Final Fantasy, Ive played them all, Im used to them.
One thing I find VERY annoying about action-RPGs is its miss-rate, for an instance... in morrowind, you have good agility, good weapon level... you have a big monster in front of you... you strike.. and miss, strike again... and miss... and so on. Its even more anoying with non mastered weapons, you are not an expert using a long sword, you swing your sword and no matter what, youll never hit... I mean, come on! if you can lift the sword, you can definitevely hit, ok, it might be a lame strike, but you have to do at least a little damage, minimum but you CAN touch the enemy unless it is very nimble, SLOW and BIG monsters can be hit easily. The same applies to long range weapons, in morrowind you throw things, and they just go through the targets... the least they could have done is change the direction of the thrown object, so it is visually obvious it was a clear miss.
Another thing that really brings me down is when you are attacked from a blind spot, or when you hear some enemy might be coming, you have to search all around while it is coming and when you are attacked you dont even know where from. Its really anoying having an archer attacking you from some higher location and your character is so dumb he doesnt recognize the location... instead of the whole screen flashing red, it could have a hint about where you have been hit and an arrow giving you a little more hints.
Besides all that, having to be clicking like crazy is no fun. Besides if you are playing a role, your character levels up and gets smarter... I dont want the whole thing to depend upon my reflexes and stuff, the character is smart/strong/quick enough to turn around when it hears some enemy, attack automatically at its possible rate and stuff like that.
Ill still be waiting for a good RPG.
Is there any of you who knows the kind of RPG Im looking for?
I don't really know how it works from the inside... but It should have an editors' restriction so only I can post articles in certain areas, and not in others' areas, to avoid clashes.
It's impossible for each editor to keep track of every single article posted and a duplicate filter doesn't mean it'll be totally acurate.
Now lets hope the article doesn't fit in two areas.
What the heck, ok, put a duplicate filter based on URLS or text, I couldn't really care all that much. =P
sure this joke was not funny at all.
sure I love to see jokes while reading here.
It might be cool having some JokeTroll to paste random jokes.
There was this joke I really liked, that was posted some time, about the teacher that asked the students about ghosts, seen ghosts? touched ghosts?... and so on, until he asked if anyone has had sex with a ghost and one student said he did, he then was told to aproach the teacher, and asked again if he has ever had sex with a ghost, and the student replied... "ghosts? i thought you were talking about goats"
You can always re-run dselect with the command... 'dselect'!:)
I actually like dselect, it's clean and simple, you just have to get used to it. If you find the starting introduction and the dependency message annoying, you can just add the following line to/etc/dpkg/dselect.cfg
expert
that's all! easy isn't it, now you dont have to keep pressing space all the time and skip to the chase.
There are some other front ends to the package installer, dpkg (front ends to apt, too, for that matter) like...
deity - Conceptual user interface suite for APT deity-curses - Curses user interface module for deity deity-gtk - Gtk user interface module for deity aptitude - curses-based apt frontend stormpkg - Storm Package Manager
stormpkg is a graphical front end (so is deity-gtk, obviously)
It wasn't all that hard, equip the shield, and a ribbon (to avoid the status changes) and go to the small island where you start on the chaos world fighting with those little rabits, you wont even lose 1 HP. The paladin shield is a must have. high magic defense, I loved to see the shield popping up and stopping the magic attack.
I've always been a FF fan, i've played them all from FFI to FFIX , still have to play FFX (haven't beaten them all, though, not enough time =( FFIIj was kind of annoying and cheatable, although the concept was interesting)
I think its ok either way.
The harware is optimized for the software, so I guess it works harder on the set of instructions the software uses the most.
But on the other way, when the software is optimized for the harware, it uses the special instruction set the hardware contains, enhancing the performance.
Maybe in the future there will be flavored motherboards, Linux 2.8.x Athlon 10Ghz, Windows 2005 Athlon 10Ghz, It would be up to you to pick the one that most suits your needs.
For those of you who would want to use debian unstable, update your/etc/apt/sources.list to be like this, debian unstable is not really unstable after all, its just that the list might be broken some times:
# See sources.list(5) for more information, especialy
# Remember that you can only use http, ftp or file URIs
# CDROMs are managed through the apt-cdrom tool.
deb ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free
deb ftp://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main contrib non-free
It is certainly hard to produce an estimate since the bigger the project gets and the longer the same is beeing developed, the wider the possibilities there are that a new ideas or improvements to project, It is not uncommon to be reaching a deadline and saying, damn it would be nice if I wrote this new module.
Accurate estimates are somewhat irreal, its just a matter of human timing, it doesnt really has to be perfect. Yeah, you can create the shortest project, but who wants small (possibly untested) software?
Actually its "celeste", and has nothing to do with celestial, its a different blue, "
azul celeste", but yeah, it would be like "light blue" that's the one you got right.:)
And about the squeak names, maybe the dolphin should be named MySqueak. that's more like it.

Now that you talk about that, a blood patch would rule.
Avoiding bleeding would greatly reduce dead rates.
I have no vacations, you insensitive clod!

Everybody has it the wrong way...
We have to install some engines on the earth and get it out of the way, and there it goes, threat solved.

for that matter you can use this bash line:
until apt-get dist-upgrade; do echo "One more time"; done;
it will loop until apt-get returns succesful.

It's just another attempt from microsoft to sue everything that moves.
Software tech. can't improve this way, there's got to be some freedom.
