Extreme powerleveling, at least for first characters, kills the desire to play. Everybody I've powerleveled quit soon after. In some cases every day for the better part of a week to a high level only to see them quit days after it ended. When you get a paladin from 1 to level 20 in a 2-3...

Not only were cracked staves 1pp+, but some rusty weapons and all cloth armor pieces from level 1 decaying skeletons vendored for 2g. Level 8 spells cost over 4pp each after all, so a plat wasn't that much. Level 8 wisps could drop greater lightstones that vendoered for 4pp and could be...

Ladar Levison is a freedom fighter and a hero. Men like him, Snowden, andNicholas Merrillkeep this country from dissolving into what the founders rebelled against. Respect is due. All the liberals who don't criticize Obama because 'he's our guy' can go fuck themselves.

He either boxed a cleric out of group/logged one in to res or he's a liar. You don't do repeated large AoE pulls without dying, I don't care how good you are. Since I still play the game, and actually did this last week, I can speak to this. First, 4 wizards is redundant. 3 is the most...

I know that. I said you can opt out ofGooglescanning your email by using something like Lavabit. Incidentally Lavabit's main selling point was that they encrypted user email with keys that included the customer's password, so even Lavabit themselves could not read customer email without it...

Actually the reason why the Gazughi ring and Mosquito boots are so expensive is because charmers use them to instantly break charm. Instantly breaking charm is important when you don't perma pet and you charm stuff to low health, break charm, and kill it. Also, they are rare. I don't know of...

There is a difference between algorithms scanning keywords in email to better select the ads to deliver, and algorithms scanning email for keywords to determine weather or not a human is going to read it or if it should be archived in a database somewhere. Furthermore Google tells users they...

Many of my favorite memories of EQ are really simple stuff. Watching it rain and listening to the thunder as a newbie; watching the high level mobs roam islands while on a boat; people getting excited to buy sharpening stones off of other players in Qeynos since the nearest vendor for it was in...

I made a new video. If you liked the previous ones, you'll like this one; I put a lot of effort into it. This will probably be the best one I ever make for EQ.

Storming a terrorist compound in a foreign country (that we're not already occupying) would constitute an act of war if I'm not mistaken. America loves its double standards, but imagine our reaction for a moment if a foreign power we didn't like very much sent armed combatants into our...

If anybody took my statement to mean 'gmail uses SSL so nobody can read it!' then God help them. I merely said that employing SSL increases the privacy level and that it shows a DESIRE (desire being the point I wanted to make) for privacy, not that you'll be 100% safe from powerful entities...

You're the one who replied to me, dude. And ethics and law are not the same thing, but morality is the driver for what becomes law and what gets repealed. Ethics matter. I want the government to have to get a 'super warrant' as the eff put it to wiretap INDIVIDUALS BY NAME and then serve...

Dianne Feinstein is the most dangerous woman in America and my least favorite Senator. I say this as a liberal. Her attacks on the first amendment aren't new. Ever more knee-jerk laws passed after a tragedy that don't even solve the problem. It'll be gone if it ever gets to the SCOTUS though...

Yes yes, I know SSL isn't some magic bullet that makes email unreadable by all third parties. It DOES, however, make it unreadable to your ISP when you access your gmail. ISP might also include wifi hotspots and such. My point was that using SSL is basically saying 'I desire privacy and...

This is long. I only visit once or twice a day because I have shit to do. Think of it as multiple posts. There is lots of whitespace. I did not claim it was illegal in the post you replied to. I said it was 'wrong' and 'abusive'. I realize that you're a lawyer-in-training, but try to...

Making 'radical' changes to the FISA court is essentially admitting wrongdoing or at least gross incompetence. What Obama said he wants to do now is make it an adversarial process because... it currently is NOT. There is a term for courts that aren't adversarial-- kangaroo courts. The 'no...

Christ, I actually used a lavabit account to register at tracker sites with. They shall be celebrated as martyrs in the privacy war.

I used to love this show as a teenager. This stuff tends to lose appeal the more science educated you become, but it can still be entertaining. Hah, I still have this

Putting "everyone but me is complicit!" in my mouth is a silly way to argue against me. And there are a small number of people who deliberately live off a small enough income to not pay income tax so they don't have to help pay for the wars. It's rather extreme but I can't help but admire...

I'm not just talking about about the NSA, I'm talking about people who sign up for war after it has been made clear that our military is doing nothing but fanning the flames of resentment toward the United States. Iraq, Afghanistan, Gitmo, Drones-- ALL of it made us LESS safe. Blows my mind we...

The cynic in me wants to think that the administration cannot possibly be stupid enough to believe that what they are doing is ending the problem of terrorism, and they know full well that their campaigns perpetuate the threat they supposedly aim to eradicate. Obama is either incredibly naive...

I use 3 physical machines to box like that. It wouldn't work on one box because the EQ client is so old that it gets user input in some archaic way which does not allow for the sending of input to background windows. If you use boxing or macro software, you have to tell the OS to bring the...

The number of AAs varies because I have 7 characters; I have one wiz and ench that are the priority of the two pairs, and I'd rather 5 man a group to maximize the Paladin's AA gains because hybrids need a lot more and I made him later. All but one have over 100, and the druid has over 150. I...

Dunno, I get that sometimes. I would guess it has something to do with the PC hack and/or when a lot of data is sent to the client.

I'm back playing here after a 5 month break. Here's another video for the fans:

Lets get real here, this is a 10 year old server that is free to make unlimited accounts-- there IS GOING to be boxing. If you're complaining about two boxing in your group then this ain't the server for you. There is a reason people like fresh servers. Even p99 is stale and extremely top...

Because the box army guild only has three real people in it. If they had like 10 six boxers, they could do whatever they wanted I guess. They tried to recruit me. (and it was sort of tempting, I may join them for a couple raids for kicks) Their inability to find more boxers does sort of...

What, you mean like this? If a key repeater is a 'script' then I'm guilty. I macroed all three stuns (plus /stand) into one button, which I set to autorepeat using my keycloning software. Just like when people do the same thing to raise their skills next to bards in PoK. The official...

We don't need to wait. From Snowden's QA: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013...-whistleblower I wondered why this claim didn't get more press. It seemed significant to me.

Keep in mind that the larger the asteroid, the harder it will be to move. I don't see us moving planet killers into orbits without some future tech. With current technology it would take many years just to alter the orbit enough to miss the Earth if it were on a collision course. Also, the...

It's a lot more plausible than you'd think. It's not uncommon, even for games, to test server loads with virtual user scripts. After all, if some random dude can make a WoW bot, the studios themselves surely can. The bots/virtual clients would not have to be anywhere near as sophisticated...

If you plan to get anywhere near level 50 and beyond, then I would concur with a tank + cler + ench setup. With that trio, you fill all three of the non-dps roles, so you can just pick up random DPSers to fill your groups, which will be easy. The problem is if you don't pick up DPS, then your...

He took a pay cut to work at Booz Allen, which was the job he got specifically to obtain documents that proved wrongdoing. He was only there three months.

Since he's been in Moscow... The Guardian published a NSA inspector general report on email and internet data collection under Stellar Wind The Guardian published Justice Department and NSA memos Documents given to Der Spiegel revealed the NSA bugging Washington offices of the European...

Just downloadHotkeyNet, copy this into your script, and edit it to your situation Hitting Shift Ctrl FX will launch the game, log in a character, and rename the window for you. Numpad 4 and Numpad 6 will cycle through the client windows forwards and backwards without screwing up your alt...

Yeahlight needs to make the binaries available and give out empty copies of his database then, if he is not organizing an effort to build a database of his own; otherwise he'll be done with the code and there will be no world for it to run. It's going to take several dozen people months to...

One enchanter can lock down small to medium sized pulls after level 52 when the enchanter gets color slant, but it's risky. Larger pulls increase lag which increases delays between casts, and with one enchanter any gap between stun durations means instant death. Also any mob resisting a stun...

Actually Karnor's is great exp for the low 50s if it's not so crowded that you can find enough mobs. (big if) There just aren't very many options for the low 50s; you really want to hit the mid 50s before doing Seb and Chardok. The reason why is that killing low blues gives you the most exp...
