Guide to extract the.torrent from Blizzard Downloader and use whatever BitTorrent client you wish (This used to work, only played WoW for a couple months before canceling).
1. Download the Downloader program.
2. Download and install a resource viewer program (You can get one called PE Explorer from http://www.heaventools.com/ )
3. Open the blizzard downloader in your resource viewer.
4. If youre using PE Explorer go to the view menu and choose resources. Expand the TORRENT folder on the left hand side and right click on the 119 entry, choose Save Resource as... and save it somewhere you can find it later.
5. This will have exported a file called TORRENT_119.res - rename it to TORRENT_119.torrent and then open it in your favourite bitorrent client.
There's no "cleric" in WoW, they're probably referring to the priest class.
I used to do this kind of stuff but you always get undercut by someone who will sell for much less. I don't know if these places really exist, but it would make sense. If I sold for how much they were selling for I'd be making less than minimum wage.
The real money is in exploits. For some reason I have a knack for finding these holes, but they usually don't last long. I made $2000 in 2 weeks off an exploit in City of Heroes then it was patched, and I found a grouping bug in WoW that let me level insanely fast till they fixed it in this latest patch (still work but not as well).
I usually jump on new games for a month or 2, find bugs and exploits, cash in, then quit. If nothing else I'll at least make enough to cover the game and subscription fees so there's no loss.

Try this, 'tis most excellent! Makes Reader load in 1/2 sec or so, terminates quickly, and hardly ever crashes. It seems it's all those damn stupid bloated plugins causing the problems. To fix:
1. Install Adobe Reader 6.0 and notice where it is installed.
2. Navigate to that folder in Explorer, locate the plug_ins subfolder and rename this folder to plug_ins_disabled.
3. Create a new plug_ins folder.
4. Move the files EWH32.api, printme.api and search.api from plug_ins_disabled to plug_ins.
Avant was the first browser I used after I got fed up with IE. I prefer it to IE but not nearly as much as FF. I would reccommend trying it, you've got nothing to lose.
Step 1: Build your own mag-strip reader that looks like a typical pay-by-cc device.
Step 2: Setup a stand on the streets of NY
Step 3: Sell stuff just to get people to swipe CC and steal info.
Step 4: Profit???
I believe that is correct. Though it's rather expensive, I've been very happy with the features and performance it has provided. I've used a 7960 at my desk for a while now and my cellphone shares the exact same profile. All my extensions, missed calls, received calls, voicemail, speed dials, etc are shared between the 2 no matter where I am in the township.
I work in IT for a large (35 sites) K-12 campus. We have Wi-Fi spanning most of the area and I use a Cisco 7920 to make/receive calls anywhere, internal and external.
Granted we're running Call Manager for this to work, but it's pretty sweet none the less.
If you run Azureus I'm assuming you have your ports forwarded, no NAT problems (green smiley faces), and a decent broadband connection. If you still get bad speeds it could mean:
1. Not enough seeds/peers
2. You have your upload set too low (15-20kB should be min)
3. You have your upload set too high and it's crappin out your DL (should set to ~80% of max).
4. You have a crappy router/firmware and it's gettin slammed due to all the connection attempts.
These are the most common problems with people that think bittorrent sucks, they just don't know how to use it.
Use this extension here to resize the google toolbar in FF(or any other toolbar for that matter).
If you ever have a problem with FF there's a 99% chance someone else is having the same problem, and a pretty good chance someone has already developed a workaround.
FTA: We ultimately want to see internet TV Channels that download video in the background and let you watch at your convenience (a TiVo for the internet).
Why do you need internet channels when there's a perfectly legimate tv network already in place?
I use Azureus as my Bittorrent client with a plugin to import any torrents from an RSS feed that match my criteria.
Although I've never actually used TiVo I think the basic premise is the same, record the shows you want automatically and watch them whenever you have time.
When I can wirelessly play my PS2 and download torrents at the same time, I'll be in heaven.
Sveasoft provides 'modified' firmware for Linksys WRT54G(S) and WAP54 units. Included in this is a bandwidth management utility (among other great features) that lets you set ports/ip's as high/low priority and throttles your connection accordingly.
Many people are using this firmare along with an IP telephony service and have reported amazing results (ie no interference on phones while downloading/uploading large files). The latest public release is OK, but the beta releases (you can get for $20 subscribing to the site) are where all the goodies are (albeit still buggy).
I had to post something because growing up, Searching for Bobby Fischer was one of my favorite movies. I pretty much lost interest in him, along with everyone else but the feds, when he disappeared, but if nothing else maybe they can make another good movie. If you've never seen it before I recommend 'obtain a copy' for viewing, using your desired methods.

Then if you decide you want the theatrical cut again you can download the 1080p version already compressed to 8GB.

During World of Warcraft Beta you could download the latest patch or entire client off bittorrent.

Maybe you should check it out.

My favorite movie hands down...where could I get a copy of the canadian one?
