DKP (Dragon Kill Points) are a system used to solve the problem of "who gets this item?" in a large group of people. In WoW, this is used particularly on items from bosses, which are usually rare/epic and bind on pickup (i.e. once you have it, you can't trade it to someone else).
In WoW, each side currently has 8 classes. A 40-man raid group will have, on average, 5 people from each class. So, even class specific items have competition from other people. Generic items, such as one-hand swords, are worse, because they an be used by approximately half of the game's classes. The additional stats on weapons and armor help to determine which class it is intended for, so it is only a problem for classes that want the same attributes, such as Mages and Priests.
You generally gain DKP by attending raids, particular those in which several bosses are successfully killed. You then use DKP to bid on items that you want.
Mmm, the XHTML 1.0 standard says that you may serve documents as text/html, as long as they follow appendix C
Appendix C.8 deals with fragment identifiers, and starts out with this gem.
In XML, URI-references [RFC2396] that end with fragment identifiers of the form "#foo" do not refer to elements with an attribute name="foo"; rather, they refer to elements with an attribute defined to be of type ID, e.g., the id attribute in HTML 4. Many existing HTML clients don't support the use of ID-type attributes in this way, so identical values may be supplied for both of these attributes to ensure maximum forward and backward compatibility (e.g.,...).
You see the "Many existing HTML clients..." line? Am I the only one who sees the strong implication that HTML clients should support this?
It then deals with semantics dealing with name attributes in XHTML vs. HTML which isn't relevant to this discussion.
It ends with this.
Finally, note that XHTML 1.0 has deprecated the name attribute of the a, applet, form, frame, iframe, img, and map elements, and it will be removed from XHTML in subsequent versions.
Deprecated. As in "do not use."
So, while Gecko is technically correct, supporting usemap with ids in XHTML 1.0 documents when being served as text/html is more correct, because <map name="something">
I'll consider using Firefox again once the developers stop marking bugs as INVALID, despite the exhibited behavior going against the standard. Particularly since it works correctly in the othermajorbrowsers.
On the contrary, I used debootstrap 0.3.3 to install sarge three weeks ago. debootstrap worked great to install to my main partition.
However, the first time I ran apt-get update; apt-get upgrade after using base-config, I ended up with a mixed system because base-config created testing lines.
I then used netselect-apt to select faster apt repositories. I ended up having a neat problem where I couldn't install perl because base-perl had a higher version than it did. I couldn't downgrade base-perl because base-config relies on it. I ended up having to reinstall because of it.
Even after reinstalling, if I ever run apt-setup or base-config to choose apt repositories, it still creates testing lines. Luckily, netselect-apt doesn't have this problem, so I use it exclusively, then manually add the security.debian.org line after it finishes.
Windows XP is an anomoly, breaking the usual 2-4 year cycle between major versions of Windows. Not only has it been around for 5 years, but it followed Windows 2000 and Windows ME by less than two years.
OSX, on the other hand, has a new version approximately every 12-18 months. 10.1 was the major exception, being released just 6 months after the original release. It was also the only free upgrade for OSX.
Thanks to a bug in base-config in sarge, apt-setup lines are created as testing. You either end up with a case of Frankenserver, or if you dist-upgrade, a complete etch install.
This was fixed in base-config 2.66 in June 2005. It's too bad that base-config remained at 2.53.10 for both sarge r1 in December 2005 and sarge r2 in April 2006.
In other words, anyone who installed Debian sarge and blindly did apt-get update; apt-get upgrade unknowingly upgraded themselves to etch, except for packages that required dist-upgrade or manual installation (i.e. kernels).
As far as I can tell, the 3 rules of real estate also apply to conventions.
Those rules? Location, location, location.
Game Companies have a few markets that they really care about. Those markets appear to be Japan, North America, and Europe.
E3 is North America's big show. The Tokyo Game Show is Japan's big show, although Nintendo holds its own Space World Expo every year. I am unfamiliar with any such show for Europe. I would not doubt if one exists, though.
The idea of replacing E3 with a show in Australia is simply ludicrous, because the Australia game market simply isn't large enough to support it.
Of course, that only really applies if you're using integers larger than 9223372036854775808 or smaller than -9223372036854775807, because you don't need BigInteger for anything in between those.
Unfortunately, you seem to have missed part of the analogy... certain boxes will only fit in certain trucks. You can get boxes that look somewhat similar to fit in the other trucks, but they're not always the same.
Take Photoshop, for example. Photoshop has two box structures that fit in the Apple and Microsoft trucks, but not in the Linux or BSD trucks.
Now, you may suggest pouring some Wine on it, but the people who Photoshop targets wouldn't have the foggiest idea of what that is or how to use it.
The Gimp is similar to Photoshop and has boxes for all four trucks mentioned above, but most graphic art designers wouldn't be caught dead using it. It's simply too different, and is also missing some common Photoshop tools.
OK, so I saw people comparing prices earlier, so I figured I'd go do my own price comparison. My goal would be to replace my aging home PC with something a bit faster.
Here are my results.
1GB RAM - I like my World of Warcraft fix, and it sucks with anything less than 1GB
500MB Hard Disk space - I download a LOT of files, and would like to repartition some of the unused space for extra OSes
DVD+/-RW DL drive - I download a lot of files
Here are what I ended up with:
Apple iMac - $1,674.00
1GB 667 DDR2 SDRAM - 2x512
500GB Serial ATA drive
ATI Radeon X1600/128MB VRAM
SuperDrive 8x (DVD+R DL/DVD+RW/CD-RW)
Keyboard
Mighty Mouse
Mac OS X - U.S. English
17-inch widescreen LCD
1.83GHz Intel Core Duo
Dell XPS 410 - $1,765.00
1GB 667 DDR2 SDRAM - 2x512
500GB Serial ATA drive
ATI Radeon X1300 Pro/256MB VRAM
DVD-ROM 16x
DVD+/-RW 16x (DVD+R DL/DVD+RW/CD-RW)
Dell Optical USB Mouse
Dell USB Enhanced Multimedia Keyboard
Windows XP Media Center 2005 Edition - U.S. English
20-inch widescreen LCD
Sound Blaster® X-Fi XtremeMusic (D), w/Dolby® Digital 5.1
1.86Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
Differences
The video card is the most difficult difference to figure out. According to Guru3D, the X1600Pro (I'm assuming Pro, because they have no non-Pro X1600 listed) has more pixel and vertex shader units, but lower clock and memory speeds. For reference, the X1300 Pro 256 and X1600 Pro 128 are referred to as having the same MSRP in this article.
The Dell system has a much larger monitor (20"ws vs. 17"ws).
The Dell system has a Core Duo 2, while the Apple has a Core Duo.
The Dell has a Soundblaster card. I haven't the foggiest clue what the Apple has.
The Dell has a faster DVD+/-RW... for that matter, it has two drives. This is standard on this model.
Personally, it sounds like the Dell has better hardware. It should also be noted that changing anything on the Apple costs significantly more than changing it on the Dell. For instance, upgrading to 2GB RAM costs $140 more for the Dell, but $200 more for the Apple. Upgrading the processor to 2Ghz (actually 2.13Ghz) costs $50 for the Dell and (along with a 20"ws monitor upgrade) $325 for the Apple.

A score of 1? Hordes of people pointing out stupid that is? I guess people aren't catching on that you're joking.

it's been too long since Sarge imo
If you think a year and a half was a long time (Etch is due out in December), I'll remind you that there was almost 3 years between Woody and Sarge.

It's not a provision in the GPLv3, it's the fact that Linux's license specifies GPLv2 rather than GPLv2 or later.
Therefore, you would break the Linux license by patching the source using anything that's GPLv3.
