It's a non-problem, because it's NOT illegal, afaik.
I don't know if its because your statement is too optimized, but clicking the reply button made my browser crash. For real. Dunno which toolchain compiled it though:-)
When i stare at these kind of legal statements, i believe it's always taken to the extremes nowadays : even though these kind of statement look completely logical, my first thought is that lawyers, law and anything regarding IP and stuff lacks common sense.
And without common sense, i don't believe in the survival of the human being. Please get back on earth.
Good job, you just ruined the very basic of an MMO : tricking the player into doing something repetitive so he goes on spending his time (and money) online. A propos farming : If you're (supid?/fan?/addicted?)like me, you have 10 characters, one of each class. It takes time and dedication to equip them all so they get each to a "satisfactory point of achievement". It takes a HUGE amount of farming (reputation, reagents, AND money, which is simply a faster way of getting the first two). When farming, you have to kill things (except of mining, herbing and fishing). When you do have a tight time schedule, you logically use the fastest killer with least downtime to do the dirty job for all of the other characters, one specific farming task at a time (motes, dailies, mining, etc). This is what i would somewhat name "playing efficiently". And afaiak and imho, this isn't against the EULA nor anything in any way. To sum it up, my point of view is that farming is necessary to the survival of an MMO. Take this away, and a big part of a player's online time disappears (as a sidenote, farming is a cheap way for designers to make it last longer).
But the real point behind my reply is the following : "limit farming of grey items / limit AH prices / limit money transfer". Your statement is really out of topic : the problem being discussed here is about automatic-play, not about regulating virtual economy.
What it you click a "legal sexy babe picture" link, and this link was a FBI-Sponsored link to an offensive page ? I mean, you've got tricked. What can you do about this ?
I cannot understand why so many people write articles comparing things, items and so on, without measures, and compare it using non-identical environmental data (different laptops, etc.). What's the real thing behind this ? Give an overall idea ? Well, at least it gives information in some sort of way. Rant of the day.
Just a simple question, which might sound stupid :
Aside from the two examples i found in the comments (media centers, dentist), though i guess a cabled mouse could be a pain, and wireless mice are sometimes more comfortable, i still wonder about the need for wireless KEYBOARDS.
Clearly, many, *many*, MANY people bought a wireless keyboard, put it on their desk, drop the base 10cm away from it, and plug the usb cable from the base into their *fixed* home workstation, which never ever moves.
They also have a comfortable chair with wheels, that never ever moves further than 1m. And when it moves, and you do sit on it, you usually don't (ie, never) bring your kdb with you on our trip.
So, i ask once again : apart from the above 2 example why would a standard user use a wireless keyboard at home ?
>>> It is also why the French Military really never amounted to much.
We had some nice warmongers around at many different times : - Clovis: First unity of France as people and troop around 500 - Charlemagne : Expanding the country in direction of germany, around 800 - Louis XIV : expansion around the 1600/1700 - Building a vast colonial empire (in 1800/1900 french
empire was the second biggest after the english one) - Helping american newfounders fight against Britain... - Finally, france has often been a pioneer in war tactics and techniques
Of course, France, as every country, had its lot of defeats (Waterloo, Trafalgar, early WW2) But each and every other country had its own (remember Vietnam, Coree, North Afrika ?)
It's a brief post, by memory, i guess you could find more example of both wins and losses. That was just to reply the above.
Gigabyte has done one really greate long ago : gv-n68128dh, which is also fanless, and for which it is almost all the time possible to re-activate the disabled pipes. Card's review to be found here. Way better than this 6600 i think !
Have you ever felt the day passed by and you find yourself thinking "oh. i wanted to read that article, and there was that link, to another interesting article, and... i don't remember what happened after that". To be productive, i'd better have no available connection, except for intranet, and offline or papers copy of the usually needed resources...
For sure i won't step a toe in the USA for the next fifty decades (yeah, by then we'll all be robotized, and get 5 century lifespans).
The more you read, learn and hear, the worst US seems to be : intolerance in diverse fields as racism (muslims), politics (communism), social (gay), violence (cf bowling for columbine), pollution (there was a time countries agreed at Tokyo, but not the US, again) with what i see as a montruous selfishness, egocentric "i don't care for what they say i'll do what i want" overall stupidity and blindness.
For a country of free speach, US can only fool themselves. Yeah, i live in Europe. France more precisely. It is not that perfect, i know. But i can live there, have any friend i want, love whoever i want, be black or white, without being classified as a terrorist, get shot down, accused of being a communist (what the hell ! 60's are a bloddy 40 years ago ! Forget it man !). Well, i'll stop that, i have some work to do.
As i have spent a whole year in Canada and saw that people can be northern american, english speaking people, be fond of guns, eat burger king, and NOT be stupid.
Please note that i have nothing against the USA. My only wish is that they open their eyes and mind, shut their mouth, and stop to behave as if they were alone on this planet.
I usually write my comments very carefully, to be only constructive. Sorry for that flamebait, but it seems many people in the US seem lacking basic 'common sense'. Damn, some can maybe not name all 5 continents ! (and refering to bowling for columbine, some people do not even know Gandhi). Well i know every contry cannot have 100% smart-ass people, and here in europe we do not know everything too, but we have some sort of knowledge that we are not the only one in the world.
Sorry to the slashdot readers, this is flamebait, and you for sure are not the people who i am blaming.
But my thought is : if there is any kind of copyright infringment, i think the holder of the site may be guilty about it, NOT the isp. Isn't there some kind of legal stuff about the content when having an account on a provider ?
I mean, if someone does some shit with copyright, the isp is protecting him by shutting him down, but they do not need to protect him, he deserves what will fall on his head...
All the isp are doing this way is protect their illegal behaving customers, and making their legally behaving customers worry about a possible shutdown.
If i said anything stoopid, please shut me down. Or make corrections.
Having thousands of mp3's on CDs, i do not listen to all of them because i haven't the space on my HD to store them back. Indeed, i have 5-10 CDs worth of mp3 i listen to, and this very afternoon, i listened to the very same some for about 3 hours coding spree (traditionnal intrumental breton track (i love instrumental things, because without lyrics i keep on being concentrated)). So 10Mb would be enough on the player for that;)
The fact that they all could fit on the ipod, freeing space on my computer btw and not having to deal with cd (which is really a pain in the ass) would be the most wonderful thing in the world ! (having a good meal, being on week-end, on trip to a sunny beach with my gf, having some wild sex, or sleeping 24 hours in a row... disclaimer : this list is not complete)
Wowoohohooooo ! Well. Please mod it up, i almost rotf in the lab. And extreme laughing is not something the professor loves from his students during his lectures...

For your information (man tar): -x, --extract, --get : extract files from an archive, so you may prefer -c to create a file -j, --bzip2 : filter archive through bzip2, use to decompress.bz2 files. WARNING: some previous versions of tar used option -I to filter through bzip2. When writing scripts, use --bzip2 instead of -j so that both older and newer tar versions will work.
So it seems that "| tar vjcf" is typicaly a "| bzip2"

would not be able to withstand the Sun's anger, and would
quickly get fired.
