Interestingly EQ "tanks" didn't have any kind of taunt at all: they relied on being able to do enough damage to keep the mobs on them.
And other classes, notably the Enchanter, could crowd control anything that got loose from the tank.
I think the solution is not to rely on one person (the tank) having to keep everything on them but to allow (and require) more active participation *and reaction* by the other party members.
Originally in EQ Enchanters were considered to be the worst possible class, because they did less damage than the other casters.
And then people realised that mass crowd control (even at the risk of crowd controlling yourself, which I did, often, in the confined spaces of Lower Guk) was ludicrously powerful. Took about a year for that to happen.
Then that's a failing in the process not the law.
If the police are corruptly allowing other cops to get away with breaking the law (often in collusion with the courts*) then it's the corruption that needs to be dealt with.
*"But if you ban this highly trained and skilled police officer from driving then he'll lose his job your honour." "In that case this pillar of society who drunkenly mowed down three people in his car is fined $3."
That's not the law though is it and the police have proved many times they're not above faking the evidence.
The police and the CPS or DA (or local equivalent) are biased, they have an incentive to get convictions, so I certainly wouldn't want them acting as judge as well.
There have been a set of python scripts around for more than a year and a half that allow you decrypt Kindle files to mobi.
The challenge has always been in dealing with Topaz files and, unless I am missing something, they still haven't been cracked.
Just a little thing called a court order which explicitly forbids them to do any of this stuff.
And no it wouldn't be substantially different anywhere else as all major economies have signed up to the Berne convention and have copyright laws that are equivalent to those concerned here.
Perhaps you should try understanding the background before you go expressing your opinion?
"Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt."
No they can't because the court order specifically orders them not to....defendant is permanently and immediately enjoined from:....
4. Manufacturing, importing, offering to the public, providing, or otherwise trafficking in any technology, product, service, device, component, or part thereof that is primarily designed or produced for the purpose of circumventing a technological measure that effectively controls access to plaintiff's copyrighted Mac OS X software, including, but not limited to, the technological measure used by Apple to prevent unauthorized copying of Mac OS X on non-Apple computers;
5. Manufacturing, importing, offering to the public, providing, or otherwise trafficking in any technology, product, service, device, component, or part thereof that is primarily designed or produced for the purpose of circumventing a technological measure that effectively protects the rights held by plaintiff under the Copyright Act with respect to its copyrighted Mac OS X software.
Has to make you more and more suspicious that Psystar as someone's shill.
They both ripped off a FOSS project and re-badged it "Rebel EFI" and they've been clearly warned by the judge in the case that distributing Rebel EFI will get them into to trouble so what do they do? Announce that they will continue to distribute Rebel EFI.
It's a civil case but contempt of court will still get you thrown in jail.
The government should work for the good of it's citizens: that *should* be it's sole purpose.
Letting H1-Bs into the country works directly against this, regardless of any (often fraudulent) claim that there is a short-term shortage.
We're supposed to be in a market economy - shortages of skills should result in increasing wages and an increased incentive for employers to train staff. Yet whenever the market begins to move in that direction the government starts shipping in the foreigners: which only benefits the global corporations.
There are four purposes to the state taking the law into it's own hands: retribution, punishment, reformation and deterrence.
Retribution is important for many, not all certainly, victims so that they can at least feel "justice has been done" and that what happened to them has been recognised as not being acceptable.
Yes but this is just one of too many stories about over-reactions (to put it kindly) and outright dishonest behaviour by the boarder guards of various types, including the TSA.
Why risk it when there's the rest of the world to visit?
I've been to Japan, twice, since deciding not to go to the US anymore. They have pretty much the same checks as the US (fingerprints, photo on entry, declaration that you're not evil, IR checks to see if you have a fever) but not once did I feel threatened. The finger-print machine is more like playing a Nintendo DS or some Hello Kitty game! And none of the staff acted in a threatening or even over-bearing manner. They were cool and professional.
I visited for a week in California in the Februrary after 9/11.
On an internal flight from SF to LA I got "randomly" selected 3 times between the check in desk and the plane! I'm pretty much the exact opposite of a Muslim Terrorist. I'm white and obviously middle-class.
After we came back we began hearing reports about how it was getting even more onerous. Obstreperous TSA guards at airports etc etc so we've decided that we won't be coming back in the foreseeable future. Which is a shame as both my wife and I would love to visit SF again and Las Vegas and NY and DC: but not where there's a *perception* that any visit has the strong probability of getting into trouble at the airport.
Unlike you I don't (and never did) believe Obama, "The Black Bush", will make any difference whatsoever. A year into his lame-duck presidency and nothing has changed.
About the most effort he's made was to collect his entirely un-earned Noble Peace Prize. The committee must have a very warped sense of humour. Either that or they're just plain stupid.
So according to silentcoder "Linux users (hardly ever) download and install software from the internet. We download and install packages from repositories."
Where are these repositories if not on the internet? And how do you download and install software from them if not over the internet?

Actually it won't just be an act of bad faith, it would be an explicit violation of the court injunction.
You are kidding right?
A depth of irony so deep that even you missed it?
Psystar's boxes were fuck ugly and incredibly noisy (i.e. standard Windows boxes).
In contrast Apple's machines are practically silent. I have my Mac Pro tower next to me and I can barely hear it's on.

No there's a big difference because Microsoft's and Apple's business models are not the same.
Microsoft makes money by licensing 3rd party PC hardware makers/assemblers to sell Windows with the machines they make.
Apple makes money buy selling Macintoshes, which are hardware+software in one package. They don't license 3rd parties at all.

I think you've just demonstrated why you have no mod points to tag it as such yourself.
Just because someone disagrees with your moronic and ill thought out point of view doesn't mean they are flamebait.
Your argument is complete nonsense.
The choice of specific hardware is completely irrelevant.
You can't buy OSX indpendent of any hardware. Any more than you can buy the Nintendo Wii's OS.
/. so yes both you and the OP deserve to be tagged as flamebait.
You get a full copy of OSX when you buy a Mac. The retail copies you see are upgrades only, not full copies.
This has been pointed out many times on

There aren't "enough" women in computing because they don't want to be.
In any case, what's "enough" actually mean in this context? It's a leading question to ask if there are "enough women in computing".
...that in the 21st century we'd moved away from this kind of sexist nonsense.
If there aren't as many women in computing ("enough women" is a nonsense term: what's "enough") then it's because women don't want to be in computing.
That's nonsense.

So not really a beta then if it's been changed so much that it's nothing like the 1st beta release.
More like an alpha release and they're still sorting out the requirements.
I think I just found my new sig! Thank you, thank you.

"Um, and this is different from a Windows virus how?" is the point of both the article AND the comment you were responding to.
