It's more than just a little XP and gold. I don't remember exactly but the cost is like 10% of your XP plus 50*your level in gold. Even in NWN it is far cheaper to save your game before a big fight and reload if you die. It also doesn't hurt to assign the stone of recall to a quickslot and be quick on the function key when your HP gets low:)
I know that it would be cheaper to save, but I work on the basis that dying should be painful, or there's no point in not just using god mode - especially with the option of pulling out back home with your stone of recall.
Damn did that piss me off - I had to buy two copies of the game because my first one was second hand and the key had already been used.
It wasn't too bad though, since it did mean we had two copies floating around at LAN parties... you have to put in a valid disk at every level change, and no one thought to bring along a machine with a CD burner.
I present to the jury exhibit A: Neverwinter Nights by Bioware.
You shall observe that upon death, the player is not forced to replay anything, or to restart the game. They are merely returned to the local temple, less a few XP and gold, ready to return to the fray if they so choose.
In my personal experience, the only times I will save the game, is when I must leave to do something else, since death is handled in the game in a just manner.
Slashdot is not, however, even though some have requested it be taken down for the day...
Thankfully though, OSDN is more responsible than that, pointing out the danger of causing mass insanity in the geek sector, due to a realisation that they have to work on a Friday.
Obviously this is going to turn into one of the great "Emacs/VI" debates.
I really like Epiphany's way of doing bookmarks... it just makes sense to me to be able to put something in multiple groups... does pygame go in game development, or python?
Or just go with the core Gnome distribution, and use Epiphany instead... if they're throwing Evolution into Mad Hatter, then people aren't going to need the Mozilla mail client, and Epiphany being native Gnome it blends right in.
No doubt I'll get flamed for getting the command slightly wrong, but I'm going to give it a try anyway (I'm at work right now, and my Linux box is at home).
With something like Snort I think it's important to know exactly what it's doing, otherwise the first you know of a config problem is when someone walks into your "secure" network through a hole you left.
You average things out though, since *all* the callers are stressed, all (all?) you need is a system to detect what sort of stress is being picked up in their voice... whether it's the "My house just burnt down you insensitive clod" sort of stress, or a "When I'm finished, you'll look like the goatse guy" sort of stress.
My dual-PII has been up almost two months now and two months ago was the last extended power outage.
Everyone go take down this guys machine... according to my inbox the last kernel update on the security list was 5 days ago... so it should really have 5 days of uptime like my server does.
The thing with Debian is that it doesn't *have* the pressing need to release, because of apt, which allows you to update any packages to new versions on a regular basis.
If you're in the UK (since I'm talking in general here, rather than specifically for the OP), then find your nearest UK Online or Learn Direct centre, and ask what they need help with... in all liklyhood, they *will* need help.
I work in one as their sysadmin, and we're constantly looking for people either to maintain the machines here (I'm not full time), or do one to one teaching of the clients in everything from using a mouse, to database design.
It's a great thing for yourself as well... when I started here I assumed I'd just be doing sysadmin, but because people know me, they'll ask me how to do things - and it's turned out to be the best part of the job, since I get the satisfaction of someone knowing something they didn't before.
Well, according to my crude calculations, it can hold 0.000769231 libraries of congress, working on the basis that they have 2.6 million recordings, which if (and it's a big if) they encode them like I encode my music (190k oggs), average out at about 5mb each.
Giving and impressive 13 *terra*bytes of recordings. And according to my rusty maths, 10gb is 0.000769231 of 13tb.
We'll have a random judge poking holes in the GPL, on some perfectly defensible grounds that bear little relevance to the social obligations these imply. As if he's supposed to know the difference.
But isn't the whole idea of the GPL that the "social obligations" have some teeth... it's like lending large ammounts of money to a friend, you're almost certain you'll get it back, but you'd still be a sucker not to ask them to sign a contract saying they'll pay you back, so that if it *does* go sour, you can take them to court.

Well - at least reception should be good from up there.

Is there any reason you want XML support added, or is it just because everything should have XML support until the Next Big Thing comes along?
If that's what you want, why not trundle of and use the Google News tech section? It's not like anyones forcing you to stay.

This guy is complaining about badly written instructions?
WTF does that phrase mean then? Top of display in your lap?
How would I even go about doing that, never mind finding a state where it's illegal.

And the answer is?
Both!

I for one am glad he's finally gonna lose that constipated look.
I couldn't watch the cut scenes without thinking "go take a dump, there's plenty of levels with toilets in them".

Ben Affleck, forgets who he is, (goes for crazy mini chase through Paris streets), saves the day.
Where have I seen that before?

Did you read the OP?
He already *said* it's dying, what more do you want, an obituary?
Yeah... nothing like that.
Other of course than the multitude of root kits out there, sendmail holes, bind holes, apache holes, anything else holes.
And yeah. Linux 7.2 - guess you havn't been around long enough to remember.

Well no wonder it's not available yet... the entire staff of empeg appear to spend all day Slashdotting instead of doing any work :P

Well that would be because it's kept on a tftp server.
