Actually, performing more than one spell on the click of a macro is not possible - The global cooldown between spells will always stop this from happening and there is no 'pause' function in macro or LUA scripting available to wait between spell casts so any spell after the first cast will fail because "Another action is in progress"
From TFA:
At the time of the ban I had configured my keyboard to switch weapons, cast hex of weakness and renew myself, all with the press of a button.
This is not possible to achieve using macros or LUA addons because it is, as many other people have said, botting. If the macro required 3 key presses (1 per action) then it could have been achieved with an in-game macro. I'm afraid the guy is SOL.
As a starting place, your website needs a little help.
Thirded. Your site is lacking a lot of details I'd expect to find about an application.
System Requirements - Your install.txt file is the only thing that specifies a Zope version - i don't want to download an archive just to find out what it needs to run.
Install Guide - I know you have a fancy shell script installer but what about people that want to do it manually?
User Documentation - I don't want to have to download the archive to find some half-finished documentation files hidden away somewhere
Technical Documentation - Do you provide any kind of API to extend the functionality, do you have any coding standards for future developers to follow etc.
I think documentation is the downfall of a lot of OSS apps - If it's your own app then its not so much of an issue but once Joe Public gets hold of it they will have a million and one questsions that need answering.
Taking a look at the code, you really need to be commenting more if you want anyone else to even consider developing with/for you.
The problem (as mentioned in a previous OSS debate here) regarding community support is that if you have a problem and the community come up with a quick patch you are then responsible for testing the implications of applying it. OSS communities can definatly get fixes out quickly but they are often not the ones that have to deal with the repercussions of it breaking your business critical OSS system.
his is of course not to say that closed source suppliers may not do the same - if have first hand experience of software vendors sending me patches which appear to be completey untested and break more than they fix. I guess at least with the OSS communities you will still get a nice quick response when you go back complaining. As far as general discussion goes, i have to agree completely with parent - A bunch of avid users of a piece of software will nearly always be able to beat some tech support drone in solving problems.

Fortunatly for us, Blizzard enforce their policies with regard to buying gold etc over the internet. A quick glance at their news archive shows they have already banned many accounts farming gold for selling, and accounts that have purchased gold.
The main problem most MMORPG players have with these gold selling antics is that it ruins the economy of the realms. The gold farmers come and either legitimately farm gold, or more commonly use bots to automate the farming (also against the TOS) 'generating' extra gold on the realm which is then sold on, boosting the prices in the Auction House etc because there are people with more gold to spend.
It would be very naieve for someone purchasing gold on the internet to not think it can be traced - Blizzard logs ALL transactions to be able to perform rollbacks to the realms and to retrieve lost items. If Blizzard catch a gold farmer selling gold they will also be able to see everyone that had gold sent to them from that account so have a nice chain of accounts ready to be banned:)
There is a Windows port of LyX which runs perfectly well on Windows XP, however most power users would prefer to run something like TeXnicCenter on Windows - or even just notepad and MiKTeX.
I think Parent is referring to an addon like User Agent Switcher but with default user agents for certain sites rather than changing the whole renderer to another real agent (which is what IETab does).
My appologies - A misinterpretation on my part Sage did win the best upgraded extension in the "Most Innovative" category. I think my confusion came from seeing Reveal as the best overall extension and also the best user experience new extension... Another one for the RTFA brigade i think:)
The only extension that i've ever used (and don't mind but wouldn't consider it essential to my browsing experience) is Sage and that came a lousy second place to Viamatic Foxprose - something that appears to be wholly useless in the 'Most Innovative' category.
"Lack of vendor support is one of the largest hurdles limiting the adoption of open source in higher education"
Many FOSS applications have thriving communities which offer 'vendor support'. If you compare the vendor support you get from say Microsoft, where you find a bug and it takes months to get an update released to a FOSS app where you can report a bug and potentially get a hotfix in a matter of hours i know which level of support I would choose.
By adopting FOSS you can basically shift costs from the licensing fees you would pay on a closed source application where you are paying for support calls/vendor updates/etc to paying someone in-house capable of maintaing the applications by developing/updating/upgrading the software themselves.
'The biggest thing is it takes more physical labor to implement open source because it isn't pre-packaged,'
Well you saved on the purchase and licensing costs, there's no such thing as a free lunch.

There are things that link you to a particular realm, namely your guild - what use would it be to log in to a random realm causing all your guildmates to be on other realms.
Well, I was am of the unlucky ones to have been on a realm that was open for character creation over the Christmas period. Prior to the end of December we were a medium population (sometimes high) realm with no queues. As soon as Christmas hit we sprung to a high pop realm and now get queues of about 30 mins a night.
As far as horrible queue stories go, I got booted out of WoW through network problems just before our first kill on Golemagg in MC and didn't manage to get back online due to a 15 min queue until the right was over and all the loot had been dealt.
Bliz appear to be making token efforts to help ease the problem with queues such as the new "Character Creation Management System" which prevents char creation on realms already queued but this is only going to stop the problem getting worse. Migration to another realm is the only real option and Migration windows are scarecly opened, plus it means you may potentially have to leave a lot of friends behind. This means their only real option is to upgrade the realm servers to be capable of handling more people (to reduce the queues) while still keeping char creation blocked.
Wouldn't the practice of making links etc inactive have to be applied across the board to all emails recieved unless they are in the premium spammers whitelist. Of course this would mean any normal person-to-person email would also have their links stripped.
If however AOL are going to use some kind of filter to decided if its spam or otherwise why not just block the spam there and then.
This also leads on to the thought, if spammers are paying AOL to let spam through which is what effectively they would be doing, will AOL be paying customers to receive it?:)
Well, if they directly pushed the money they made from the spammers paying for email to get through ($0.01 per mail lets say) back to the customers, you would just have to recieve 5000 junk emails a month to pay for your internet connection!
