Thanks, I followed a link to the official site from Massively's coverage of 3.0.2 and didn't notice they were linking to the older patch notes. Someone with mod points mod my post down and one of the posts with the correct notes up!

* Dispel effects will no longer attempt to remove effects that have 100% dispel resistance.
* Parry Rating, Defense Rating, and Block Rating: Low-level players will now convert these ratings into their corresponding defensive stats at the same rate as level 34 players.

* Alcohol cooldowns have been rolled into Drinks: All 10-second cooldowns have been removed and replaced with the 1-second Drink cooldown.
* Numerous flying non-combat pets have had their flight height modified to no longer skim along the ground: captured firefly, dragonhawk hatchlings, moths, owls, parrots, phoenix hatchling, spirit of summer, sprite darter, and tiny sporebat.
* Nether Ray Fry (a non-combat pet) is now available from the Skyguard Quartermaster. This requires an Exalted reputation with Sha'tari Skyguard.

For me the best mix of sound and music was definitely the 7th Guest, the Fat Man's music especially. Ultima Online had some very annoying music, especially the town themes.
Is there a way to make new games for this system? I'd love to do an interactive graphic novel but most of the mature free tools for that sort of thing are Japanese and next to impossible to use. I've looked over the website and don't see an editor or creation kit.
Suggestions for other Free/OS interactive graphic novel creation tools are welcome.
Dear sir, as I read your comment I thought of several well reasoned arguments as to why your first sentence was flawed. As opposed to firing back blindly I continued until the end, which made up my mind that rant or not, I had to reply immediately. By the time I had "Reply"'d I had totally forgotten my original arguments and decided to go get some timbits, coffee and have a smoke. While outside I was totally freaked out by the guy moving things to a truck, who kept nodding to me every time he passed despite my saying good morning to him once. Inside again I was refilling the sugar jar for my coffee when a variation in the bag's opening caused some to spill over my hand, I immediately burst into gales of laughter while thinking to myself it was a damn good thing I do the pouring over the kitchen sink. Man I'm so stoned!
I have been smoking marijuana since I was 12, am now 36, and work for one of the top hardware/software companies in the world running other people's Wintel backends. Today in my home office I'm building several servers remotely, attending meetings, and taking emergency calls. For further reference, see the excellent Penn and Teller show Bullshit!, episode The War on Drugs, especially the sections on the stock trader who works on the NYSE floor. He smokes several joints daily, all of which are provided by the US Federal Government for his possibly fatal bone spurs. There really are professionals out in the world who smoke quite regularly, even as often as several times a day.
I understand you want an all-in-one, however I believe that most "programming" editors can hook into some sort of change management program. I use one locally with my AutoIT3 scripts and the SCiTE editor, every time I compile it asks me for a "changes/reason" and enters that into my own local source management.
I recall seeing detailed info collected from the new Team Fortress on what classes were selected, "heat maps" of death locations, etc. Looked to me like it was all valuable info, especially for the game and map developers. I know Steam keeps a backend connection going, and it seems like this data could be really useful. While I'm definitely against collecting personal data, the aggregate stuff should be just fine from a privacy standpoint.
I'll give a quick personal experience opinion on this...
Great Grandmother worked at McCord Gasket during WWII era, total 15+ years on the job. She described how the "girls" would be covered head to toe in asbestos dust during the workday, they wore simple paper masks when needed due to the quantity of dust in the air. Neither her or anyone she knew had medical problems from the type of asbestos used.
Oh and fields from electric razors... and radioactive materials from nuclear tests...
We have to live with the fact that many things natural and unnatural effect us every day, and with due diligence even the most harmful of materials can be useful. What if it's ability to enter cells and "to usurp traditional biological protective mechanisms" is precicely what we need to cure AIDS, cancer, and every other ailment mankind faces from natural threats that definitely can "usurp... protective mechanisms"?
I could not agree more, if they end up the defacto arbitrator over the internet, here in the US at least, I don't trust them not to fuck it up as badly as they have everything else in their purview. Well unless you can afford to pay them their lobbying dollars, then you get what your company wants.
My main issue with this chair is that I cannot sit cross-legged in it. (half lotus not full) For some reason I have to switch between crossed legs for about an hour and legs on the ground in the standard position for about five minutes then back again.
All of the nerds I know, without exception, are articulate, sensitive, intelligent guys who'd not only make first-class providers but would also defend their loved ones to the death if that were what the situation called for -- and I bet most of the guys here fit that bill, too.
I can be quite the insensitive ass, just ask my wife when I get her killed in WoW! And now that school is out my daughter will begin playing WoW with us so I'll get the opportunity to be told how stupid I am by a 13 year old for getting her killed also. But I do occasionally make it into nice guy territory as my wife and kids love me to death. In fact they're getting me a noose for Father's Day.
I took over web master duties for my son's Pack 1723 and immediately switched to Drupal, and the whole pack loves it! Of course I haven't actually done more than implement it and some add-ons, haven't "given back" by coding, but then again I don't code anyway so it's a moot point. Enough babbling...
"What this means to our visitors is that instead of having a separate 'READ' and 'WATCH' section of the site we will be incorporating written and video content directly into the game pages. Doing this will allow us to improve and expand the gaming library and community aspects of our business.
So they are going to have the reviews and videos on each games page? Doesn't sound like a mass firing to me...
As AKAImBatman said above, you can use the drives via USB with a simple adapter. Copy win98 directly and place back in notebook, then install. USB Adapter
Milton Keynes Council declared the site a conservation area in February 1992 and the landowners â" the government's land agency and BT â" withdrew all planning applications. Seven years later, former Bletchley Park Trust director Christine Large landed a deal with certain developers to secure the future of Bletchley Park in the hands of the Trust.
But some developers remain far from dissuaded, recently winning the right to build houses even closer to the wartime facilities. One of the site's exhibition facilities now rests just 10 yards from 21st-century residential properties.
With giant concrete mixers towering over the edge of the Trust's land, Greenish said he feels the remaining green space between Bletchley Park and surrounding surburbia may be lost, though he plans to fight the advance tooth and nail.
Anyone else immediately recognize the Enigma machine from the thumbnail while going through the article? I don't know whether to feel well educated or just old at 36.;)
I've gotten calls two different months, the first because I used over half a terabyte one month, the other because I was in the top 10% of bandwidth users for that month. Both times they wouldn't give me a clear answer on what the cap is, and threatened that another violation would get my cable suspended for a year. Screw 250 gigs a month, I can't live with those limits in my household of torrent users. Why haven't I switched already? Comcast has a monopoly at my apartment complex and I'm moving to a WOW supported house.
Disable Autorun, that way the automated tool can't start.;)
And if the USB software interacts with the computer while the OS is running, how can that be considered untainted evidence? AFAIK computer forensics rely on having snapshots of the machine with no possible interference from the OS and running programs.
