    I'm guessing if they do let it through, we know that no one at the patent office is getting any, I'm pretty sure it is a dull job.

    Ok you have me curious, what are some "good" Speakers, if not Bose, which are probably a good step above what people get with some normal radio?

    If you only have listened to say stuff that came with a Sony, JVC or whatever system, I'd say that Bose is pretty good, at least relatively speaking.

    What are some of the names of these Speakers that you could tell who painted the wall of the room of the performer's recording booth?

    Well they are planning on limiting the amount of players on any server, so they can tell where they will be and bring it right up to the threshold of the server, then as either they get their cost down to keep the servers up, or figure that they can spend the extra money they can expand the amount of characters that they allow on the servers.

  8. Re:Deleted characters? on Star Wars Galaxies Only to Allow One Character Per Account · · Score: 1
    Yes you can delete your character, or if you don't like what your character can do, you can choose to drop the skills that you have earned and go a diffrent way, and pick up other skills.

    Don't like making droids, well get out of the droid buisness and, start practicing with your blaster, poof you are now a bounty hunter, don't like the long hours and the thrill of the hunt, put away your blaster and pick up some scissors and become a hairstylist.

    The choice is up to you, and they allow you to change your mind even.

    Did you even read the quote you used?

    it's not that they cant buy space, but the software to store and access the information, costs X amount untill you reach a specific threshold, after which you pay a signifigant amount more, because you have to purchase the Next Tier of service.

    Think you cant just pay a bit of an extra amount to have an extra character when if they have too many characters they need to pay a signifigant amount extra.

    what the hell are you smoking?

    That wouldn't solve anything it isn't the amount of space it's the cost of the Database software.

    how would you be able to set up a shop and sell stuff if you saved your character onto Your machine and then logged out? they are talking Database software here.

    It isn't like they can just go and slap down a few hundred dollars and fix it with some extra hard drives, or with people saving their characters to their hard drives.

  11. Re:Tell Me Again Why You Can't Have Multiple Accou on Star Wars Galaxies Only to Allow One Character Per Account · · Score: 1
    do you get it They are paying for the Database software, the software costs $Y amount of dollars for X Gig of information held, if you go to x Gig + 1 byte then it costs $y * 10 for the next size server.

    Do the math do you want to pay the $10 to $15 that they plan to charge or do you want to pay $100 to $150 that they would have to charge to make the game break even, if they allowed you to have 10 characters that you might realisticly only use 2 of?

  12. Re:The one missing point on Star Wars Galaxies Only to Allow One Character Per Account · · Score: 1

    well maybe some of your friends will also like playing alts of the week and you can just agree on making alts on the same Alternate server, there is nothing saying you have to leave your friends, you just might not be able to play all the time with them cause they are also trying out their other characters.

  13. Re:Disney losing money... on Spirited Away Still Has a Chance · · Score: 1
    I would Love to go to the Theater to see this.

    But It isn't playing in my area, in fact it isn't playing in my entire state (Alaska) I am not about to spend over 800 dollars to get to wherever the movie is playing to see it.

    The whole point of the article is that Disney isn't backing this movie, and it isn't playing in very many theaters. There are 4 theaters in my city that could play this, hell they arn't playing much more than harry potter at the moment.

    But Disney hasn't done much to market this movie, and unless it gets nominated for an Oscar, it probably won't get any play in my area.

    So it's not that people are Pirating this, they can leagally purchase an import, it is that Disney isn't doing squat with it cause they can't sell stupid pieces of plastic to kids with it.

    Did you even read the paper?

    This isn't about specific apps, this is about how, if a window in some program is being run as localsystem (root) you can get it to run arbitrary code.

    You could be Mr no priv Guest user and get it to esclate you to root because you can see a window.

    Yes because you can see a window.

    That is all it takes, is the ability to see a window.

    That is what it is talking about. good user habits are not going to prevent this, maybe good software design from everyone in the world would prevent this, but if it were good software to begin with we wouldn't be talking here now would we?
