Definite win! P.s.- Oh god, how I wish we could do that to other alliance

Consider yourself hooked up ...But it is semi-specific to your PC. Just edit the area labeled 'YOUR NET INTERFACE ID# HERE' below with your own NIC ID...Warning there are often several, so you'll need to look for the one that has your *internet* connection in it (common indicators will be it has a gateway address, DNS addresses, etc...): 1st one adds the appropriate ACK for WoW: ack.reg: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\{YOUR NET INTERFACE ID# HERE}] "TcpAckFrequency"=dword:1 2nd one clears said flag to the default empty value: ack-.reg: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\{YOUR NET INTERFACE ID# HERE}] "TcpAckFrequency"=- EDIT: Be warned that this CAN (and in my case *does* effect speeds of downloads, etc...), so you will want to remove it when you aren't playing WoW. I often forget to activate/deactivate it and then wonder why my d/ls are slow or, conversely, my latency in game is high

Thank PC Gamer for giving it a high rating... The network stack (as in software) has always been the primary issue, but most people just don't get that. The one thing I don't like about this registry fix is the fact that it changes ACKs globally, which, as has been pointed out, can make other software perform in a less than optimal fashion. For myself, I have 2 reg files I made; 1 to add the TCP flags and one to remove them.

Wow seeing that brought back some memories... I did some volunteer work with Amorphic Robot Works back in the day and they had this dude called 'Too Big Dog Monkey'; Here's a pic: http://www.artnet.com/Magazine/reviews/robinson/Images/robinson12-18-10s.jpg

wtf?! The longer I lasted the lower my score... Started: 277506/Bovine Behemoth Ended: 215100/Beefy Brawler

The gui is pretty intuitive (and complete!), but in the long run: L2terminal

I dunno, nothing has been able to steal the crown from this epic druid movie imo...

OMG HomoHax! NERF PLZ!

See, this is why I said 'it's tricky'. Legal responsibility does not take into account physical or emotional factors. Strictly from a business perspective, sure the male is and 'investor' or 'shareholder', but he does not have to deal with many of the physical/tangible effects of his investment. There are many documented (and many more undocumented) incidents where the male partner was all for the pregnancy and ready to commit to a long-term relationship only to 'bail out' in late trimester. The female is still physically bound to this child. The male may face legal repercussions, but that still leaves the woman with a child she may never have wanted. Barring the obvious example of rape, there are many cases where responsible people suffer from failed contraception and other factors. Should the female not have a (legal) means to terminate an unwanted pregnancy? The father may be willing to step up, but he can't go to term in her place. The physical burden is still left to the woman...With all the related external ramifications (ya know, like missing days at work, hospital visits, etc...)Additionally, as I said a few lines up, he can, quite literally bail out, while the mother is stuck with the child. If a man wants a child so badly and his partner does not, first off, he should probably find another partner. And he has other means available to him, such as adoption. Oh, and lets not forget that the woman faces physical, however remote, that the man never will. Finally, one thing our society seems to fail at utterly is grasping the broader ramifications of our 'ethical views'. Most people tend to dodge the question of unwanted children raised in less than ideal environments and the impact that has on society as a whole. So, in closing, while I think men have a right to their opinions, just as anyone does in a democracy, I don't think they should have a legal right to make that decision.

I think Sanc/Klakla hit on something allot of people (not just in this thread) miss: The U.S. was founded on a SEPARATION of church and state. That means we are all entitled to believe what we want to believe without persecution. ...It also means government is not supposed to interfere with our views or lifestyles so long as those views and lifestyles do not directly effect other people. In this sense abortion is a tricky one as some would argue it represents 'views and lifestyles that directly effect others', in this case, the fetus. Still at the end of the day guys (and I mean GUYS, as in males) our opinion on this matter should not be counted. Ever. As for the 'gay issue', based on the separation of church and state, it should be a non-issue. Homosexuality represents a lifestyle choice that does not impact an individual's ability to function in society nor does it threaten the freedoms of others.

Thanks for that HV. I'm not a conservative, but most of the conservatives I have known have stated that Bush utterly failed to represent their views.

I was under the general impression that her (lack of) actions in the senate were why the people that hated her did so... Most of the Dems in the senate have pretty much failed to achieve what they promised the people they would, and in many people's views, they don't even appear to be *trying* to achieve. I'm not voicing a personal opinion here so much as what I have heard lots of lib/dems say (I live in SF...It's hard NOT to hear allot of those opinions). Personally? I have no confidence in any of the candidates. Sarcasm aside, I just think it's impossible for anyone to avoid the taint of politics and really make a difference.

srsly lol

That is so FP

Oh god, I hope so; Get some good SS's of that Joe!

Who?

Aw man. Now how am I gonna sell this toon?

It's Happy Wintereenmas! Get it right dammit! And <3 GiGi /miss

One of the best examples of 'immersion' in gaming history was from the original dukenukem: Toilets in the game were actually used by Duke (post-tap sigh included). And, of course, who can forget interactive mirrors ('Damn, I look good!'). P.s.- Totally off-topic: on the same page there was an article called 'Ralph 'Father of Video Games' Baer Honored with GDC Pioneer Award'...The picture suggests one hell of an 'Award' http://www.shacknews.com/images/generated/476adf3ae25d5_tinythumb_trophy.jpg

I was wondering about that...Like Stang, I always go to fp.com (no 'www'), but I remember that being an issue in the past when I used the prefix. Looks like someone at the ISP forgot to reference the CNAME to a virtualhost entry in httpd.conf...L2admin...
