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...

Sasha cut off her hair? Noooooo! Oh well, she's retired anyway.

I mine at WeMineLTC.com. It's a great pool; low fees, three servers (west coast, east coast, eu), and a slick website.

Regarding TOR's resource model, I have to disagree. It's just another gimmick to try and put interaction back into the game that was lost with out of combat resource regen. What these gimmicks do is make your next action a response to the user interface instead of your opponent's actions...

I find it astonishing how terrified this nation is, to be so afraid of such non-threats like terrorism and hacking. We give up privacy, give up liberties, spend trillions, send thousands of soldiers to die to supposedly protect ourselves from a threat that kills less people per year than...

That doesn't solve the 'problem' at all. The decision-making of resource use is still removed, as players just end up button mashing fireball until they run out of mana, then AFKing until combat is over. If mana pools are large enough to not be exhausted before all the mobs die, then the...

I have multiple high level characters on both servers. Some of my best EQ memories are on these servers, and very recent. Classic EQ is my all time favorite game, by a mile. Nostalgia has little to do with it.

Litecoin mining has been competitive with Bitcoin for a long time now. I'm about 65 coins mined since I got my card 3 months ago, which is $170 at today's price. If I stopped mining right now my card would pay for itself if the price goes back up to $4.5. Although ASICs are hurting GPU mining...

Judge throws out "state secrets" defense in light of NSA leaks

New article at The Guardian today detailing what 'direct access' means for one company: Microsoft. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013...tion-user-data Highlights: Time to switch toJitsi.

I've always been one of the 'it's the gameplay, not the graphics' people, but... uhg. Definitely a negative. I don't have anything against cartoon graphics, but I've had my fill of them with WoW, and I don't want to be reminded of the game that hurt the genre so badly. I also long for more...

I hate to say it, but in many zones I would prefer p99's pathing to eqmac's. Unrest is a great example. Eqmac has all sorts of quirks; one of which is that mobs will warp on top of you if they can't path to you, or even if they can. If I run around mobs in circles too tightly for example...

Also recall that many of these controversial powers were SUPPOSED to be temporary, but they of course keep getting extended. Like nobody could see that coming. I think Obama just gets away with his lies and hypocrisy because A) People just like him as a person, they don't think Obama is...

William Binney, J. Kirk Wiebe, and Thomas Drake blew the whistle on the NSA's Trailblazer project, another domestic spying program, in 2002. Obama's administration indicted Thomas Drake under the espionage act in 2010. John Kiriakou blew the whistle on the use of waterboarding in 2007...

1) the deeper they go down the hole, the more it motivates more whistleblowers 2) good 3) of course most people won't, but at least now they have a chance, and the privacy minded current events aware individuals can opt-out

Snowden's revelations will do the following: 1) Slow the expansion of the surveillance state with the worry about it being exposed ever more present and by allowing Intelligence Committee senators to bring up the subject in more detail publicly 2) Hopefully remove the supreme court's excuse...

Yeah whatever. Just like Manning's leaks were supposed to get people killed, and then it didn't happen. There is no way to whistleblow with zero collateral damage. I would argue the positives far outweigh the negatives in both Manning's and Snowden's cases, but either way it's nearly...

They have to have the data in their possession and examine it to know that it is foreign or not. The entire objective of the PRISM program is to remove the need to request (demand) the data from providers and just wholesale examine everything, looking for target identifiers and storing foreign...

So we agree, the NSA is incompetent. One wonders why they go to the trouble of developing things like Security-Enhanced Linux and then not use them. The most 'outrageous' claims were in the PRISM slides, which you and a_skeleton_03 dismiss entirely because they are presentation slides and not...

Manning had Top Secret clearance, even if his leaks had no top secret documents in them. But hey, lets throw the book at him anyway. Microsoft Windows started offering built-in encryption in Windows 2000 Professional (Encrypting File System) and full disk encryption (bitlocker) since Windows...

Uh yes? Recall Bradley Manning, the at-the-time unstable 22 year old recently demoted private first class? Or am I supposed to believe he was also a master hacker who 'fabricated digital keys' while he was lip synching to Lady Gaga? Alexander's 'fabricating digital keys' comment sounded...

VPNs that log use aren't useless; they are used to secure wifi connections and access sites like hulu from out of country and whatnot. Everybody should insist on using a no logging provider though, even if you don't pirate. Gox's US account was frozen because they didn't register as a money...

I was ready to be outraged over that, but it just seems to be the credit card companies continuing their denial of service to copyright infringing sites. Media companies have made arrangements with credit card processors to deny services to certain web sites, and it is very effective and...
