It looks like on my server (Bonechewer) there is no such exploit, at least not as described by everyone. Or at least, maybe not anymore??
I've did a/who mara (which shows everyone in the supposedly bugged maraudon instance). Noone level 30. 2 level 60s, but they were in guilds apparently running guildies through the instance (5man groups). Everyone else was pretty much in the princess level range as well. Lowest level I think was 49. So all princess runs it looks like, nothing new there. Refreshed/who several times, no change in the people there.
I'm not saying it doesn't exist on other servers, but it doesn't seem to be as widespread as everyone seems to think.
Also, as everyone else keeps saying...the krol blade screenshot is faked. If you look at the background texture you can tell that it was just a bunch of quick copy and pasting.
The weekly maintenance has been extended while we investigate the validity of the claims regarding a possible exploit in the game. We remind our players that discussing possible exploits on the official forums is a violation of the Code of Conduct, and such threads will be deleted without prior notice.
It certainly tracks when you vendor items because if you accidently sell a nice item while selling a bunch of items, you can have them get that item back for you. It isn't the same EXACT item though, since you lose all enchants and whatnot. They pretty much just seem to create a new one for you.
I imagine it tracks a lot more as well.
Although, who knows, this still could break WoW. I hope Blizzard isn't going to be so stupid as to let that something like that happen.
Account information = billing information = possible realy identity theft depending on how much information you can get from the account management screens.
If you tell gmail you are opera I'm not sure it'll still work. By default opera will -always- lie to gmail as defined by ua.ini after 8.0 even if you have it say opera in the prefs. You can edit ua.ini to change this though.
Although, it's kinda understandable, since before 8.0 opera really didn't work at all with the gmail js.
Unfortunately, everyone just misinforms you about everything unless you say your name is either Frank or Steven. So either you are gonna end up believing a bunch of lies...or you just lie to everyone.
Actually, I'm being serious. It's not quite everyone, but there a good portion of websites will give non-working output or refuse to give full functionality if you give them the opera user agent string. If you give them IE or even usually Mozilla, they give complete working output.
Off the top of my head, I know msdn (thinks opera is a bot that wants feeds or something) and gmail (just reverts to basic non-js functionality) do this. Personally, when I use opera, I always just leave it identifying itself as IE or moz since I forget to change it back.
I think a point to Opera is that they aren't so small as everyone thinks, but they ended up in a corner. They can't tell the truth or certain sites won't work (oh noes, opera sucks) or they lie (oh noes, noone uses it!) so they work, which is where they are now.
First of all, Subversion has no tags. They might call them "tags" but they are really just branches. I consider this a bit of a flaw but whatever.
I agree, except it doesn't really have branches either, just really cheap copies and a switch command. I don't consider branches a flaw though, although it seems like tags being this way is a flaw to me too.
Oh yeah, SVN's "tagging" system was my biggest gripe too. The problem is SVN doesn't support tags at all. All it supports is cheap copies which are then "shown off" as tags. Branching is like this too, but makes more sense to be like that there.
I'll get used to it I suppose, but it bothers me slightly. I would have been fine if they just made it more transparent to the users, like giving a "svn tag" command to do the dirty work movement.
Also, I want websvn and viewcvs to show what tags are on a revision, but it sounds like more work to implement than it should be (especially because svn has no internal concept of tags!)
Google currently has a bunch of books that are searchable already. You only get a select two or three pages when you get a hit, and google took some effort into making it difficult to make a copy of the pages it does show you (like making the actual content a background in css).
Well, you can tell google to give you.torrent files. Of course, google doesn't understand the contents of a.torrent file, so thus it really isn't a torrent, or it's just matching by filename...which is probably good enough.
I was in a group in WoW, and someone had to go afk for a bit. In apparent boredom, another guy in the group decided to see if he could jump in the lava and then jump back out before dying.
It didn't work. We ended up having to wait for him instead so he could get back into the instance (from being a ghost).
Nearly every server is down in some way or another (even if the specific server shows up it is either barely up and non-functioning or lying or both).
That said, for the short amount of time I was able to connect, I could tell that Tarren Mill was -definately- under attack. That's the honor system for you.
They didn't drop BitKeeper. BitMover dropped the free version BitKeeper and refused to license the paid version to any employees of OSDL.
Being Linus works for OSDL, that pretty much means BitKeeper has to go or Linux has to leave OSDL. It is the same case for Andrew Morton. I think Linux prefers to drop Bitkeeper.

If I have decided that I'll give away some code I've written, I going to give it away, period, none of this "unless it is worth a million to somebody" rubbish.

See, now you are just making it hard to identify as a fake. At least with the other one you could easily tell. :P

WoW seems to track a lot of money related things.
It certainly tracks when you vendor items because if you accidently sell a nice item while selling a bunch of items, you can have them get that item back for you. It isn't the same EXACT item though, since you lose all enchants and whatnot. They pretty much just seem to create a new one for you.

No, not slashdotted. Every tuesday morning maintainence occurs. All of the world of warcraft stuff tends to go down when this happens.

It's still software and it is part of the kernel. It still accepts input, even though it immediately throws it away.

However, you are keeping this digital copy.
Except...that you aren't.
Google currently has a bunch of books that are searchable already. You only get a select two or three pages when you get a hit, and google took some effort into making it difficult to make a copy of the pages it does show you (like making the actual content a background in css).
I'm sure the comments on this story will be incredibly insightful.
But they won't be redundant, because you know nobody will try to make the same stupid joke twice.
