The reason the series was known as Dragon Warrior in North America is because someone other than Enix, the original maker of Dragon Quest, did not own the rights to the name "Dragon Quest" in the United States; therefore, a different name had to be used. They settled on using "Dragon Warrior" for its North American release. Since then, the trademark on the name "Dragon Quest" has expired, and SquareEnix decided to use the original title from now on.
I disagree. But then again, I'm a different person. Different people like different things. Just because its not your type of game doesn't mean the review is horrible.
I fully agree with everything said in the review. The only thing I didn't really care for in the game was the insanely-named spells; however, I [forcefully] learned the new names and found it no problem as I progressed through the game.
What part of the world are you from? If you are from the southern U.S., let me know when you are going to attempt this. I shall sit in my front yard with popcorn.;-)
Somewhere, I have a bug in a perl script I wrote that "hijacks" emails containing files with certain extensions so that I can make sure they aren't viruses. The bug...which I'm considering a good bug...is somehow "hijacking" about 40 to 50 phishing emails a day...all claiming to come from Citibank, SunTrust, Smith Barney, etc.
From all the ones I have seen, the email body is HTML used to show an attached image. There are <A> tags around the image that generally point to a webserver running on port 38. They are ALL port 38. As an example, the one I'm looking at right now points to http://%32%30%37%2e%32%33%36%2e%31%35%39%2e%31%30% 30:38/%63%69%74/%69%6E%64%65%78%2E%68%74%6D... which translates to http://207.236.159.100:38/cit/index.htm.
These emails are annoying, but at least I'm managing to block these from getting to users who probably don't understand. I'm sure I'm missing others though.
Whatever happened to optimizing your code? Are programmers getting lazier, or are we just trying to force everyone (including those with virtually non-existant budgets) to buy the newest PC ever few years?
I fall in the lazier category because I do not write programs for people other than myself (normally anyway).....but I think anything that important (I'm talking an operating system with lots and lots of...stuff...) should be optimized so that it will run under much lower specs.
If you think I'm wrong, then please...flame away, for this is just my opinion.
I reformatted a computer a month of two ago...and when I went to Google...it looked *JUST* like this. I checked on neighboring computer (even erased the cache)...and it was what I expected. I checked the URL countless times, but I was typing it in correctly. Is this just spooky or what?
I searched the internet the day we saw that, but couldn't find anything referencing it. All I know is that we were too busy laughing for the next thirty minutes to an hour.:-D
Back around 1995 or 1996, the high school I attended got hit by the AntiEXE and AntiCMOS viruses (virii?). I don't remember which one it was, but one (if not both) of these caused the MS-DOS CD-ROM driver to fail to recognize the attached IDE CD-ROM drive on some (not all) of the computers. After removing the virus, the CD-ROM drives worked again.
Ah man...now I'll never know where those lights on the back of the Optiplex GL-110 are.:-(
Everytime we called them about a problem with this model, they wanted me to look at these lights. Well..the only lights on the back of that model are the link/activity lights at the ethernet jack....which isn't what they wanted.
Anyway...I'm glad that it is moved back.
I failed to mention this, but all email is accessed via SquirrelMail. We also use Amavis to scan all incoming and outgoing emails for viruses. Both of these combined during the busiest part of the day seems to keep the server quite busy load-wise. I was thinking the new scheduler and job spool methods would help manage things a little better. Now don't get me wrong, the current setup is not terrible, but I am looking for improvements.
However, given your opinion, I will stick with 2.4 for now. Thanks for the info.
We are currently having some serious problems with our mail/web server. We aren't sure what is going on with it, but I'm not ruling out the possibility of being hacked. We were planning on upgrading the server to the 2.6 kernel and installing some hardware upgrades around Christmas time, but it looks like we will be forced to do at least the hardware part (and reinstallation of the system) this weekend. This machine operates on dual 1.3GHz Pentium III processors. My question is, do you think I would have any problems running Linux 2.6.0-test7?...or should I just stick with 2.4.x until we decide to redo things again...probably in a few years?
This little school system I work for has been beaten to death by these virus notifications lately due primarily to Sobig.F. I'm proud to be one of the people who saw this problem coming up back in June and went and disabled the automatic reply feature...even though I still get an alert myself. What annoys me even more are these virus scanners that "remove" the virus (still may have an executable attached), but go ahead and pass on the email to the "lucky" user.
Moral of the story... The virus writers have gotten "smarter". PLEASE, disable those $#%@ notifications, for they do more harm now than good.
Awwe...I was kinda hoping the smiley face would walk across the screen.:-/
Anyway...our mail server at this small public school system has blocked 7,998 copies of the virus since 10:43am Tuesday morning. I had updated the signature files at about 9:45am...so talk about a close call.
I don't know who created this virus (or any other evil virus for that matter), but I hope they are at least caught, tarred, and feathered.
We had a power failure in Northeast Louisiana last night. From KNOE TV8's website:
Officials say that about 55-thousand Entergy Corporation customers in this city and surrounding areas were without power for a short period Sunday night after a transformer blew out.
Cyril Guerrera, a spokesman for Entergy ouisiana, says a substation transformer near Sterlington blew up at 7:50 p-m, causing outages throughout Ouachita Parish and surrounding areas
until about 10:15 p-m. The lights were back on about an hour later in West Monroe, according to some reports. Sergeant Susan Herring of the Monroe Police Department says that by 9:15 p.m. there were reports of power coming back on in parts of Monroe. Herring says there were reports of some minor traffic accidents caused by the outage.
When this power failure hit, the areas surrounding the blackout area had a brown out due to all the substations trying to recover as much as the blacked out area as possible. We were with about 10 volts of electricity (guestimating) for about a minute here.
According to Entergy, the power recovery process for such an event worked exactly how it was suppose to.

Yes, Dragon Quest == Dragon Warrior.

I'm writing the bug off as a feature though.

I agree with this. This might help reduce the number of viruses today as well.
Is there any such project currently being pushed to resolved this?

We got this dialog box on a computer in one of our computer labs while runnin Windows Update. At times, I think its appropriate.
BTW: That is not an edit.

Sorry guys, couldn't resist. Posts like the one I'm replying to drive me insane.
Upon trying to build my own RPMs (mainly as a learning exercise), I get this:
