[2001-07-05 15:34:00] - ideally everyone would find everything out for themselves, but that's just impractical -dave
[2001-07-05 15:33:00] - You either collect data and references, or you're talking out of your ass, so to speak. -logan
[2001-07-05 15:33:00] - the news is just too easy and convenient -dave
[2001-07-05 15:33:00] - logan: i agree media should be taken with a grain of salt (dunno bout boulder
). but collecting "data and references" on everything just takes too long -dave[2001-07-05 15:31:00] - xpovos: yeah, that's what i'm worry about. i'm at lvl 48 and i'm forseeing tough creatures in hell difficulty. I have a decent fo, but i think i'm gonna have to go with meteor for it's large damage -dave
[2001-07-05 15:28:00] - I'd rather gather my information scientifically, not in news bites. Give me data and references. -logan
[2001-07-05 15:27:00] - Sometimes unique monsters just aren't worth killing. My Pally met a unique archer, multi-shot, extra strong, cursed. Took up -all- my rejuv potions before she finally died. Did drop a rare assassin weapon though,Im holding onto it for trade Xpovos
[2001-07-05 15:27:00] - I think the only duty is to oneself. If you want to work in media, and make it your duty to report the truth, then good luck. Personally, I take everything that anyone in media says with a boulder of salt. -logan
[2001-07-05 15:27:00] - we so have to watch manufacturing consent this fall.
i wish i could purchase it on dvd! 
-jdb[2001-07-05 15:26:00] - Freedom of the Press belongs to those who own the presses. -- Xpovos
[2001-07-05 15:25:00] - ... that's when it gets interesting
-jdb[2001-07-05 15:25:00] - jdb: not much of a sense of duty you're saying? yeah, i suppose. nothing is that ideal in reality unfortunately -dave
[2001-07-05 15:25:00] - when speaking of media honesty and coverage, i find it most interesting to look at the commercial side of things, not the going ons in government. when a news agency is under the same corporate umbrella as the news items they're covering... -jdb
[2001-07-05 15:25:00] - maxed out fireball is a cool spell to have, esp. for low-mid level 'ress, but immunities to fire, high resist in hell, and a bunch of other factors make it less effective now... I think Paul will be upset past lv 45-50. -- Xpovos
[2001-07-05 15:24:00] - xpovos: and i'm a tad worried about hell difficutly where creatures can have two immunities -dave
[2001-07-05 15:23:00] - dave: not much of that, unless you consider the various professional journalism groups, which i'm sure many major media organization subscribe to (ethics wise) -jdb
[2001-07-05 15:23:00] - xpovos: yeah, that's what i was thinking. it's just gonna take me awhile to match my maxed out fireball, and that's what is making me hesitate -dave
[2001-07-05 15:21:00] - meteor is very useful in the expansion... esp! if you have a tank, it's timer is an issue, as is the delay in falling, but the damage is amazing. -- Xpovos
[2001-07-05 15:21:00] - if the public thinks -dave
[2001-07-05 15:20:00] - jdb: or is it only because they'll lose money if the public things they are liars? -dave
[2001-07-05 15:20:00] - jdb: yes the media exists to make money, but when you tell the public that you're doing something, there's a duty of sorts to do what you're saying -dave
[2001-07-05 15:19:00] - mig: that afa article made me think of this non-tract --> http://www.ffrf.org/nontracts/xian.html -jdb
[2001-07-05 15:18:00] - xpovos: how far did you get with her? i'm thinking of picking up meteor, but still debating about it -dave
[2001-07-05 15:18:00] - the majority of media exists for one purpose only... to make money. (except for things like the "new river valley free press" and church bulletins
) -jdb[2001-07-05 15:18:00] - if nothing else, that's what the media presents itself as doing -dave
[2001-07-05 15:17:00] - dave: yes, I play a sorceress, my latest one (and my best, I think) is a FO/Hydra/Meteor 'ress. -- Xpovos
[2001-07-05 15:17:00] - logan: yeah, i suppose the media can report whatever they want. but you don't think there is any unspoken duty of the media to let the public know what's going on with the government? or with anything? -dave
[2001-07-05 15:16:00] - dave: That's how most media are used. -logan
[2001-07-05 15:15:00] - logan: at what point when one decides to entertain others? -dave
[2001-07-05 15:09:00] - No, Radford. -logan
[2001-07-05 15:09:00] - logan: your family lives in northern va? ~a
[2001-07-05 15:08:00] - I think there are very few cases where a person actually has a duty, and even then it must be voluntarily chosen. At what point when one decides to entertain others does this duty of the media appear? -logan
[2001-07-05 15:04:00] - has anyone used the Diablo2 battle.net chatroom? What is the gem in it? The FAQ has it listed but says they won't tell. I've never used the battle.net so I am curious - dewey
[2001-07-05 14:58:00] - logan: well, i think the media does have a duty, but not necessarily to cover everything the way the government wants
-dave[2001-07-05 14:57:00] - dewey: i do think that the american public can be really stupid though, making it necessary to keep them ignorant of some things -dave
[2001-07-05 14:57:00] - They even stated the media had a duty in this regard. -logan
[2001-07-05 14:56:00] - Like, they were lambasting the media for not participating in the election process in the way that they wanted. -logan
[2001-07-05 14:55:00] - dewey: people should be proud to be an american, but they should also know what exactly that means, good and bad -dave
[2001-07-05 14:54:00] - logan: follow the government's agenda? do you mean report on what the government is doing? or do you mean support the government in whatever it is doing? -dave
[2001-07-05 14:54:00] - propaganda is good. promotes social welfare and an pride in your country. People should be proud to be an american. - dewey
[2001-07-05 14:46:00] - I was with the family last night, and my sister was watching Politically Incorrect, and everyone seemed to want the media to have to follow the government's agenda. -logan
[2001-07-05 14:04:00] - it's not too hard to randomly phone a thousand or so people. - mig
[2001-07-05 14:00:00] - where do these people always get these results from? i don't think i've ever been personally polled for anything -dave
[2001-07-05 13:59:00] - http://www.homeeducator.com/FamilyTimes/articles/9-3article3.htm -logan
[2001-07-05 13:58:00] - logan: seems to be a backlash on the media for some idiotic decisions they made last november. hopefully it'll blow over, but i too am concerned about it. - mig

if all goes well this weekend, you will be able to post and debug php (through ssh) right on the server. ~a[2001-07-05 13:45:00] - I distrust automated systems that are supposed to prevent you from coding a security hole (although they are convenient for SQL). -logan
[2001-07-05 13:44:00] - aww excellent. i shall do it immediately. - mig
[2001-07-05 13:42:00] - mig: Your PHP problem is a "feature" called "Magic Quotes." I don't like it, and I tend to turn it off in php.ini. -logan
[2001-07-05 13:34:00] - dave: no, I have one but I didn't play with her much (:-p). Right now I am building up an assassin. - dewey
[2001-07-05 13:33:00] - anyone know when paul is getting back from the beach? -dave

[2001-07-05 13:31:00] - dewey or xpovos: either of you play sorceress? -dave

[2001-07-05 13:29:00] - xpovos: they made diablo much harder. his fire attacks do much more damage now -dave
[2001-07-05 13:16:00] - Yeah, there's that one quest in Act V that gives several million exp. That's pretty cool. I found Baal a lot easier than Diablo. Diablo blocks most of my hits, but every single one hit Baal for the full 300-400 or so damage. -- Xpovos
[2001-07-05 13:13:00] - meow
[2001-07-05 13:13:00] - but I have too many charms. yeck - dewey

[2001-07-05 13:10:00] - i made more changes to the expires and last modified http fields. can you guys let me know if this has fixed the problem? you need to get a clean load for your browser to know the fields have changed. ~a
[2001-07-05 13:09:00] - argh, I need the horadric cube... my double-sized stash if full of gems! - dewey

[2001-07-05 10:22:00] - No, it still does not reload in IE - aaron
[2001-07-05 10:09:00] - instead it has to do with connection speed between certain internet service providers. ~a
[2001-07-05 10:07:00] - there seems to be some peering issues between psi net (my work's service provider) and cable wireless. this may be making my page load for some people. it has nothing to do with the size of the page (or embedded pictures) ~a
[2001-07-05 10:06:00] - dewey, no but i have been playing around with the expires and last modified http header fields. let me know if the changes i made fixed or did not fix that problem everyone is having. if not, i'll try something else. ~a
[2001-07-05 10:02:00] - of course, you might also consider removing the pictures of cats from the page to speed up the page during the summer. - dewey
[2001-07-05 10:01:00] - a: have you tried the META tag in the html head section that specifies no caching? - dewey
[2001-07-05 09:52:00] - a large number of the people i work with took today off, so right now i have a whole lot of nothing to do.
- aba[2001-07-05 09:51:00] - there was a window of about an hour or so where it stopped raining. we were walking back to the car when it started pouring, so we actually did get pretty wet in the end. we had some cool stuff though.
- aba[2001-07-05 09:51:00] - If you're having caching problems, use netscape. It reloads data from the server all the time... Like, even when you resize the window. - aaron
[2001-07-05 09:49:00] - aba: did you guys get drenched at the park? or did the rain miss you? -dave
[2001-07-05 09:41:00] - a: when i cleared all the cached files from my computer and then opened the board, it worked. maybe it's the same sort of problem as the button that changes color in the top right corner? -dave

-dave[2001-07-05 09:35:00] - dave, is that over one fiber or many 'cause usually there are a few fibers in each cable, right? ~a
[2001-07-05 09:17:00] - i use a different version of ie from work, and im having no problems, if that helps. - aba
[2001-07-05 08:47:00] - a: thanks, i just wanted to know whether it was just me, apparently not

[2001-07-04 16:49:00] - personally, i think it could work. - mig
[2001-07-04 16:41:00] - that's nice. my english teacher freshman year had a very intriguing idea. he proposed having all public offices being selected through a random lottery. there were some kinks in it, but all in all it was a pretty neat idea. - mig
[2001-07-04 16:32:00] - that's why i wish we implemented some of nader's voting ideas. like being able to rank candidates, weighted voting sorta.
-jdb[2001-07-04 16:23:00] - shame it's gone from "vote for us because we believe in what we say" to "vote for us because we're not as bad as the opposition". - mig
[2001-07-04 16:22:00] - that's politics for ya. -jdb
[2001-07-04 15:48:00] - at the democrats "tricked" just as many people to vote for them. - mig
[2001-07-04 15:48:00] - of course, you're correct, i can't really judge what americans feel what they're self-interests are, but i'm pretty sure he implied that the republicans somehow "tricked" people into voting for them. while that is true, it doesn't change the fact th
[2001-07-04 15:42:00] - i was referring to the arrogance of the democrats who somehow claim that their party is somehow different than the republican party. - mig
[2001-07-04 14:38:00] - mig: interesting, you think even more people voted aginast their own best interests? that seems even more "arrogant" than the comments in the article... -jdb
[2001-07-04 14:34:00] - i see it differently. 47% voted against their own self-interests, while 3% did, and the other 50% were too lazy. - mig

[2001-07-04 14:16:00] - Google! NOOOOOO!!!! -devin
[2001-07-04 14:07:00] - don't forget that nearly almost half of americans didn't vote (51% turnout in 2000). So I guess 25% voted for their own best interests, 25% voted against their own interests and 50% were too lazy (or apathetic?) to vote at all.
-jdb[2001-07-04 14:03:00] - parents, bah! what about jesus?!?
[2001-07-04 14:01:00] - "He lamented that last November ?almost half [of Americans] voted against their own best interests.?" quite an arrogant statement to make, don't you think? - mig

[2001-07-03 13:33:00] - to everyone using my computer at home, my computer should be down friday night, saturday night, and/or sunday night while i uninstall mandrake from my current hard drive, put in a new hard drive, reinstall mandrake on that drive . . . ~a
[2001-07-03 13:29:00] - as long as mandrake installs properly (still need to get a new hard drive) i will have no need for xp ~a
[2001-07-03 13:23:00] - As long as 98 installs properly (still need to get the modem drivers hooked up) I will have no need for xp - aaron

[2001-07-03 13:04:00] - oh good. you don't support that gay tag. - mig
[2001-07-03 13:03:00] - <strong>hmmmm...</strong>

[2001-07-03 12:54:00] - im up for anywhere that we dont get caught.
- aba[2001-07-03 12:48:00] - on the topic of 7/4, i'm up for anywhere, what about that park near abe's house. we set off stuff there before, and that was fun, i'm sure there are better parks though. - mig
[2001-07-03 11:37:00] - that'll do pig, that'll do - Farmer from Babe.
[2001-07-03 11:36:00] - <big>looks like it, unless I do <b>this?
[2001-07-03 11:35:00] - <b>
[2001-07-03 11:35:00] - <u>
[2001-07-03 11:35:00] - a: do you check for closing of tags? - dewey
[2001-07-03 11:34:00] - : - )
[2001-07-03 11:06:00] - and i did not know that nesting big tags would make something even bigger. ~a
[2001-07-03 11:06:00] - no; the message board has not changed even a little. i'll look at it some time soon. ~a
[2001-07-03 10:50:00] - Hooray! My new Dell shipped yesterday! 8) - dewey
[2001-07-03 10:49:00] - Testing
[2001-07-03 10:36:00] - I have the same version too. Deleting all offline content allows the page to reload, as does posting a message - aaron
[2001-07-03 10:32:00] - http://conversatron.com/convers.py?topic=38637&count=10 Tee hee hee. More conversatron fun. - aaron
[2001-07-03 10:24:00] - dewey: i've got the exact same version of ie - vinnie
[2001-07-03 10:21:00] - dave: eula is the ackronym (sp?) for 'end user licensing agreement' - dewey
[2001-07-03 10:20:00] - hm... I wonder. Adrian, did you just recently change the message board over to PHP? Could that have caused this new change in refreshing? - dewey
[2001-07-03 10:18:00] - so the refresh button doesn't seem to be working in my IE (version 5.00.3103.1000) just FYI - dewey
[2001-07-03 10:17:00] - ok, well now I am running into the problem vinnie had. I loaded up IE and it looked like noone had posted since I said something yesterday. but there was lots of conversation. - dewey
[2001-07-03 10:16:00] - aba: i dunno if you'd be a good teacher or not. personally, i wouldn't want to be a teacher, so the question is irrelevant
-dave[2001-07-03 10:12:00] - what is eulas? -dave
[2001-07-03 09:58:00] - http://conversatron.com/convers.py?topic=38547&count=9 Conversatron is back up and here's an interesting thread - aaron
[2001-07-03 09:16:00] - aba: i read your journal, i just don't usually feel the need to comment - vinnie
[2001-07-03 09:06:00] - Ugh stupid internet browsers. I guess they decided that the ideal function of the "reload" button was something other than to simply reload a page. - aaron
[2001-07-03 09:05:00] - Hm. Have there really not been any new posts since this "twink" post, or is this a caching problem? - aaron
[2001-07-03 08:56:00] - heh; stupid board
~a[2001-07-03 08:55:00] - paul, i think it should be: a few days (Windows98) or a few months (Windows NT/2K) or maybe a few years (UNIX). ~a
[2001-07-03 08:53:00] - boing: i think google cleaned up some of its sites. i was reading a thing in their faq that said they actually don't index sites that aren't linked to enough - vinnie
[2001-07-03 01:41:00] - aren't the developer's the ones getting shafted, though? - mig
[2001-07-03 01:24:00] - not to say that I would ever be so vain as to search for my own site in a search engine
- boing[2001-07-03 01:23:00] - about google's responses, searching for "boing.dhs.org" used to return stuff... I think they must have either lost their database, or made the search more strict - boing
[2001-07-03 01:15:00] - not to mention not wanting to piss off the developers, if the developers are part of an influential conglomerate - boing
[2001-07-03 01:14:00] - yes, but the big market here is corporate, not individual. a corporation will be less willing to risk litigation by skirting the borders of what's considered "fair use" - boing
[2001-07-02 18:03:00] - which is why eulas cannot prohibit you from making copies of software for backup purposes. - mig
[2001-07-02 18:02:00] - i think eulas can be invalidated, because i think courts have said they cannot disallow fair use of thier products. - mig
[2001-07-02 18:01:00] - wow. it's amazing if you look at the whole list of things you can't use with it: gcc, linux, staroffice, perl, vi, emacs... - mig
[2001-07-02 17:54:00] - that it is, but not if you intentionally stab someone with it. - mig
[2001-07-02 17:50:00] - if my knife injures me during proper usage, the company is liable. -jdb
[2001-07-02 17:46:00] - and they are already free from liabilty for what their users do, just like the knife manufacturer is. - mig
[2001-07-02 17:46:00] - i never did agree with that philosophy either. and most of the stuff in eulas is rather redudant since there are already copyright laws to protect them from duplicating software, etc. - mig
[2001-07-02 17:46:00] - for example, according to licensing laws, assuming "click yes to accept" eulas are legally valid, I would have no legal recourse if the windows installer miscalculated the refresh rates of my monitor and therefore broke it - boing
[2001-07-02 17:43:00] - and through the EULAs, the developer has the advantageous position that they can make the same amount of money while throwing in clauses to limit their liability, attack their competitors, etc. - boing
[2001-07-02 17:42:00] - Though personally, I am against the licensing philosophy for software, as it gives an unfair amount of control to the developer over the actions of the users. - boing
[2001-07-02 17:39:00] - legally, miguel, it's because you don't buy most software, you license it. It therefore remains the property of the developers, and they can determine what you may and may not do with it. - boing
[2001-07-02 17:10:00] - why sould software be any different? - mig
[2001-07-02 17:00:00] - i've often wondered about EULA, and whether they should be valid or not? can a knife manufacturer tell me what i can or cannot do with a knife when i buy it? - mig
[2001-07-02 16:58:00] - http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/zd/20010702/tc/ms_attacks_open_source_1.html ummm, yeah. - mig
[2001-07-02 16:39:00] - everyone knows o'reilly is conservative. the "slanted sources" article is much more interesting, imho.
[2001-07-02 16:36:00] - ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
[2001-07-02 16:23:00] - I don't understand why they're come to the conclusion that O'Reilly is conservative? just because he bashes the lefts more than the rights does not automatically make him a member of the right. - mig

~a[2001-07-02 15:26:00] - xpovos: cool, thanks. - dewey
[2001-07-02 15:17:00] - dewey: yes, plenty, any amulet with +1 all skills has a base level requirement of 22. -- Xpovos
[2001-07-02 15:16:00] - I don't think it works well, because there are at least three sites I know that link to my southpark page and it didn't return any. - dewey
[2001-07-02 15:13:00] - oops, my page was removed it would appear
- vinnie[2001-07-02 15:12:00] - a: i was wondering how that search even works. my site returned no entries. i know at least my site links to my own - vinnie
[2001-07-02 15:11:00] - this is pretty sad. http://www.google.com/search?q=link%3Aaporter.dhs.org ~a
[2001-07-02 14:50:00] - has anyone come across a ring or amulet that had any restrictions on level or strength or anything? - dewey
[2001-07-02 14:41:00] - Also you get the quest rewards again... -- Xpovos
[2001-07-02 14:40:00] - internet slooooooow today - dewey
[2001-07-02 14:27:00] - i mean, what's the difference between playing on normal difficulty instead of hell difficulty? Just that the monsters have more hit points and resistances, really. - mig
[2001-07-02 14:14:00] - a: oooh, that's weird - vinnie
[2001-07-02 14:14:00] - a: can't give you many specifics. i'm using ie5 at work. and yes, i can send a blank message to refresh and that's what i've been doing - vinnie
[2001-07-02 14:13:00] - wow. i am having caching problems for the first time ever; interesting that it happened the same day as vinnie. yes, i know there are headers to modify the behavior but i can't get apache to output them. apache eats them up. ~a
[2001-07-02 13:47:00] - http://www.blarg.net/~toucans/Trademark/PubResp1.html and here's some more! - mig
[2001-07-02 13:41:00] - i personally think that they should have just spent time to make the monsters smarter instead of just beefing them. - mig
[2001-07-02 13:38:00] - http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=01/07/02/1648243&mode=thread horray for more trademark bullshit! - mig
[2001-07-02 13:18:00] - Dumb and boring, yes, but we need it that way given how much else the monsters have going for them. -- Xpovos
[2001-07-02 12:38:00] - ok, that works
[2001-07-02 12:35:00] - the ai of the monsters in d2 can be extremely disappointing and predictable... - wolf
[2001-07-02 12:34:00] - ok, so then we can all just get our tickets seperately and then meet up to drive over there on the 14th. - aba
[2001-07-02 12:33:00] - as a ranged attacker, you can take advantage of diablo's limited line-of-sight to get him "caught" on a corner, while you shoot around it - wolf
[2001-07-02 12:32:00] - "parking a boss" - you explot their ai to get the stuck in a niche or at a waypoint you don't plan on using. - wolf
[2001-07-02 12:24:00] - It was strange, my Druid didn't find an immune boss until Kurast, but my Assassin found one in the Underground Passage. -- Xpovos
[2001-07-02 12:22:00] - 9:30 club is GA, so seat #'s isn't that much of an issue. - mig

[2001-07-02 12:17:00] - vinnie: one way you may be able to reload without actually posting is to not enter any text in the box and just press enter.
