I've done a certain number of these and tried a few solutions, in the end we used Carbon Copy Cloner (http://www.bombich.com) and Winclone (http://www.twocanoes.com/winclone/), although you could use ASR with an OS X Server for the Mac part, Winclone is definitely the best solution to image Bootcamp, works very well. You use the diskutil command-line version to partition your drive, then restore the Mac portion using CCC or ASR, then Winclone. It works with FAT or NTFS.
I used to find raiding very enjoyable, and it did require some farming to succeed, mostly in the later stages, but it was manageable.
The raid content, besides its other flaws in the expansion, now requires intensive farming for any kind of progress to occur. I can understand why some people would keep playing (to enjoy raiding) but be willing to pay real money to bypass the necessary side-activity which they do not enjoy.
None at all, we all know hard drives will inevitably fail the day before your thesis|presentation|report is due, inconsequently of the usage or age of the drive.
I thought the same thing, then read the FA and realized he's proposing that they built a spiral ramp INSIDE the pyramid, instead of outside. Advantages being keeping the workers out of the sun, and it could have been much smaller. It's certainly the first time I see someone proposing an interior ramp.
Reading this strange blurb, I couldn't figure out how they'd arrive at the conclusion that OS X had more remotely exploitable vulnerabilities active before patching than say Linux or other UNIX variants, since it doesn't even expose any services to the outside by default!
Reading this, though, where they say they just "enabled all the services" shows that the methodology in this analysis is pretty bad. Did they also enable SMB and AFP file sharing services on the other systems? Enable Apache/IIS?
which I like better than CT's revisions. Despite all the "learning" which you profess to have been given, you have obviously not even attempted a reading of HoME or understand what it is. It's not "revisions" made by Christopher. It's not "adaptations", It's simply the texts of JRR Tolkien that he never managed to get published or never finished, as well as drafts of some published works. It was only lightly edited mostly for readability, and most of Christopher's writing in those books is the textual history of the material and notes that relate the texts to other texts that JRR wrote. Some of the texts were at one point actually prepared for publication and are eminently very well-written, whereas others are incomplete or fragmentary.
It's as if Frank Herbert's son had published the notes of his father on further Dune books with some comments about how the notes were arranged, and you'd complain about Brian Herbert''s "writing". We know that's not what Brian did, but it's what Christopher did in HoME. He wrote commentaries and exegesical analysis, and let the texts stand as they were left by his father. The Silmarillion was a (mixed) attempt at putting part of those together into a publishable format for a wider audience's appeal, without the commentaries and variants. HoME is eminently difficult to read, but very enjoyable if you like this sort of things.
The difference between, say, The Fellowship of the Ring and any Christopher Tolkien followup (except perhaps the Silmarillion) is about as big. Other than the Silmarillion (which saw some significant editing, not all of which was done by Christopher, a lot of which was entirely necessary due to the state of the source material, some of which Christopher himself felt was badly done and admitted so himself in HoME*), everything Christopher has published has been leftover writings by his father. What is Christopher's in those books is notes, analysis, textual history, and some commentary clearly labeled as such. In reading HoME, I often found Christopher's commentaries to be insightful, erudite, and at times more interesting than the actual source material.
Now, with that information clearly laid-out, how can you say his writing is so bad? You can't base that on the Silmarillion, because you exclude it yourself, and even if you didn't, the amount of actual "original" material in the Sil would fill at most a few pages, as could be discerned by anyone who had read Vol 4-5 & 10-11 of HoME. He did a lot of editing, taking from sources wide apart in age and style, which explais a lot of the idiosyncrasies of the Sil, but it was editorial decisions warranted by the material at hand. But to say Unfinished Tales or HoME is "bad writing" is calling JRR's unfinished, unpolished writing "bad writing".
Regarding this new book, I'm not sure what to think of it. To be quite honest, the Narn has never been my favorite story of the Tolkien legendarium (always been a fan of Beren & Luthien), but it's still enjoyable, and would be nice to be able to finally read it as a complete and homogeneous story. although I get the feeling I've almost certainly read most of the parts in that book from other sources (HoME and others) over the years, I'm not sure how much new material is in there, and how much Christopher wrote himself, and how good it will be.
*History of Middle-Earth is a 12-volume collection of the unfinished writings of JRR Tolkien edited by Christopher Tolkien. It covers most of his hitherto unpublished writings that relate to the "legendarium".
"JRR built up a whole mythos to draw from when writing LoTR."???
He didn't build up the stories to have background for LotR. He built the mythos for his own enjoyment, as a background history for his invented languages, and in hope of giving back to the English a mythology of their own that was "lost" when the Normans invaded the Anglo-Saxons.
The Hobbit was a story he made for his children. He spiced it up a bit with details from his mythos. He published it because it seemed publishable as a good children's story. Lord of the Rings was written as a commercial follow-up to The Hobbit. Didn't really end up like that but...
I am not disputing the fact that the huge amount of previous writing and pre-existing mythos gave LotR a backstory of unparalleled proportions. It ended up being a large part of the attraction of the book, that you feel this world has a whole history behind it that is barely hinted at.
That distinction is meaningless, in my mind. In a way, everything is "natural" as it proceeds from nature, i.e. processes in the planet's ecosphere or its constituent's output.
What a troll you are. He's talking about the new Outland zones, which are staggeringly inspiring and beautiful. Some older zones are sometimes plain, but that's how they are designed to be. And everyone and his dog is already 60 in WoW, it's not like it's hard or takes long to do anyway, and casuals are starting to hit 70 now. And there are no "exp grinds" in WoW. Questing is a much better way to level, and fun. Finally, raiders don't care about the new loot being as good or better than the old one, that's just the nature of the game.
I've said it before, and will repeat it, despite being one of the biggest Tolkien fans out there, I will not go to see a Hobbit movie not done by Peter Jackson. Period.
Exactly. It was fine in the first movie, because they didn't try to delve too deeply into the philosophical implications, and because the movie had a good pace and novel visuals which made it interesting. But Matrix 2 & 3 tried to push the philosophizing deeper than the skin-deep plot could support, and showed the glaring problems with both the plot and the philosophical discourse.
They're movie executives. The guys who got together and founded the MPAA and choose its policies and staff. Were you expecting them to be nice people? Seriously.
Whoever it is, however obvious his guilt, the death penalty is never right. It's barbarous and irrespectuous of the value of human life - no better in the end than the people thus put to death.
And hanged? that's simply inhumane, you wouldn't want to kill an animal that way for its meat. Actually, we kill animals in more humane ways than that.
I will quote the same thing I always bring up whenever I'm asked why I oppose the death penalty:
"'He deserves death.' 'Deserves it! I daresay he does. Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.'"
Killing him will not bring those he killed back to life.
I thought Microsoft were actually pushing a new, competing, incompatible solution (XDF or something?) instead of the PDF standard, and this is what Adobe are going against.

You haven't played TBC much have you? Where specs are even more cookie-cutter than before, and raid gear is sub-par to 5-man or PvP gear.
The best gear isn't from "exclusive" raids anymore, it's from doing PvP, crafting and 5-man (regular or heroic) dungeons.

That is, Macs.
And the underlying assumption of your post that "Slashdot" is a monolithic groupthink is different how exactly?
You need evidence to publish bullshit rumors now?
They *say* you did something illegal, but you're innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. They actually *believe* you did something illegal.

No, this was a standing bug in WoW on DC CPUs.

I wouldn't go to see a Hobbit movie butchered and done by anyone else than PJ, at least not right now. There's no reason for anyone else to do this.
