Experiencing some die hard crashes.
General Discussion « WAR (Warhammer Online) 9/05/08 9:16:48 PM
"On the 19th of august the NDA was dropped for Warhammer online, the new MMORPG written by Mythic, the creators of Dark Age Of Camelot. I was invited to the beta in february and tried to test the software. The problem is that I have two computers at home, one is too slow (Celeron 2.13GHz , 2GB Ram, GeForce 7600 GS) and a HP nx9420 Laptop with a Celeron core duo with 2.13ghz, 2GB Ram and an ATIX1600 mobility. The laptop is pretty fast and I can play a lot of state of the art games without problems, but War keeps crashing. It’s called “crash to desktop” in the beta forum. We opened a lot of tickets in the forum to make GOA (the european distributor that organizes the beta here) aware of this situation. Nothing happened in this area. No visible attempts were made to fix this problem, no error messages have been implemented that may give us a clue what is broken. After each update we (the testers who had these problems) tried again. No change, it got even worse after some of the last patches and more people complained. I can’t understand why these issues have not been fixed or at least an explanation was published. When this attitude regarding bugs is not changed, the warhammer release might become a big problem for mythic. Customers who buy this and get these crashes after a few seconds or minutes will turn around and never play war again, even if this is fixed (if they fix it…). I was really happy when I was invited to the beta and I’d loved to test a lot, but obviously I could only play a few hours in these months. So if you want to buy warhammer online be aware that you may not be able to play it. The problem seems to be related to ATI cards, as the most users reported that they are using Ati GPUs. Another reason seems to be the low memory (2GB is considered low here!), although some people with 1-1.5GB Ram have been able to play without problems. I’ll continue trying until the beta is closed. We’ll see… [Update 22.08.2008] |

OPEN BETA STARTS TOMORROW Sept 5!!!!!!!
General Discussion « WAR (Warhammer Online) 9/04/08 9:43:45 PM
[2008/09/04 03:55:08] libpatchclient initialized. Warhammer folder is 9.36GB, patcher displays ver 1.0.2.16 I am in the Elder and CB (Closed Beta) programs and for over THREE months they have REFUSED to respond to email reports about the ongoing problems with the game. The quality of support from them is atrocious, beta testers are blocked from access to their beta forums where the problems could be reported and solutions provided while they insist total secret NDA must be maintained. They do not give a squat about the beta testers, just presenting the illusion of over 800K registered to beta test. |

defective parts (chinese installed) spreading to LCD tvs. link since link stops access to the article in a few days... The sources indicated that there seems to be more LCD TVs having factory maintenance problems recently, especially for China brands and systems that were subcontracted to China-based makers for production. Some of these LCD TVs have even been recalled. But they said it is hard to estimate a concrete figures for the amount of TVs that have such problems. A major issue may stem from the aluminum electrolytic capacitors that are installed in these LCD TVs' controller boards, the sources noted. Given that LCD TVs have higher requirements for audio processing, some passive component makers which opt for cheaper aluminum electrolytic capacitors have found the capacitors vaporize too fast. This eventually either causes unclear image or no image, the sources said. Most of these LCD TVs have been shipped to the market for less than one year, they added. Despite solid aluminum electrolytic capacitors or other aluminum electrolytic capacitors being replaced, the sources noted that demand for these two components should not see a critical jump in the near term. Demand from maintenance can hardly compare to a demand surge that was driven by a market changing event such as the launch of the 775-pin Intel CPU in 2005." ... |

Patch error! got that pop-up after setup. From bittorent the WARBits folder (11.6GB) has 3 folders and 25 other files including 4 dll, the adobe player guide and the shortcut link. There was only about 6GB free space left in 1st partition, so even pasting the WARBits folder in another partition with 45GB free space get the same error popup. In Wxp pro, after mouse clicking setup in the WARBits folder it brings up Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning Beta Setup (wizard) clicking Next to continue brings the License Agreement check I Agree & next brings up 'Click OK to setup Warhammer Online: age of Reckoning Beta to run from here. To install Warhammer Online:Age of Reckoning Beta somewhere else, click cancel, copy this filder to the desired location and rerun this setup.' Tried pasting the WARBits folder to a 45GB free space partition and having the same error popup. That brings up the Mythic Patcher Login/Password popup; filling in that (unchecked both 'save login/ name' and 'perform full file check') OK That brings up 0% Mythic Patcher 1.0.2.17 and it downloads 153953/153953 and then this "Patch error!" popup mentioned at the thread beginning. (the missing a large number of files popup) clicking OK on this last error popup removes the 0% Patcher. Hoping this does NOT mean having to do the entire bittorent d/l again. ... checking the perform full file check still brings the same patch error! (missing large number files) |

Obama candidacy challenged in court
Off-Topic Discussion « General Discussion 8/22/08 4:49:58 PM
My previous thread documenting Sen Obama's (D-Il) fraudulent birth certificate was locked by staff ("unknown") here to protect him and block further discussion. ALL request here for an explanation (for the reason they locked the thread) have been ignored. Thursday, August 21, 2008 by Jeff Schreiber A prominent unethical Philadelphia attorney and Hillary Clinton supporter filed suit (Suit filed 08/21/08, No. 08-cv-4083) this afternoon in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania against Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, the Democratic National Committee and the Federal Election Commission. The action seeks an injunction preventing the senator from continuing his candidacy and a court order enjoining the DNC from nominating him next week, all on grounds that Sen. Obama is constitutionally ineligible to run for and hold the office of President of the United States. "I filed this action at this time," Berg stated, "to avoid the obvious problems that will occur when the Republican Party raises these issues after Obama is nominated.".Berg cited a number of unanswered questions regarding the Illinois senator's background, and in today's lawsuit maintained that Sen. Obama is not a natural born U.S. citizen or that, if he ever was, he lost his citizenship when he was adopted in Indonesia. Berg also cites what he calls "dual loyalties" due to his citizenship and ties with Kenya and Indonesia. Berg cites inconsistent accounts of Sen. Obama's birth, including reports that he was born at two separate hospitals--Kapiolani Hospital and Queens Hospital--in Honolulu, as well a profound lack of birthing records for Stanley Ann Dunham, though simple "registry of birth" records for Barack Obama are available in a Hawaiian public records office. "It is unfair to the country," he continued, "for candidates of either party to become the nominee when there is any question of the ability to serve if elected." |

"Now that Vista’s defenses have been crippled, we are back to relying on third-party security applications to detect malicious code … some things don’t change. Where does this leave Windows 7? I would have expected Microsoft to have ported the security features from Vista into 7, but this paper kinda makes that obsolete. If Microsoft is going to make a stab at fixing these issues then this could very well delay Windows 7." |

add the Nvidia G92 (8800 gt/gts/gs) and G94 (9600gt) gpu to the defective list "NVIDIA IS IN DEEP trouble over the defective parts problem, and from what we're being told, this is only the tip of the iceberg. NV still insists on stonewalling and spinning because the cost of owning up to the problem could very well sink the company." |

why Obama will not be the US first black president
Off-Topic Discussion « General Discussion 8/05/08 5:35:48 PM
tell me abbaba, are you more offended that the UNBROKEN chain of 'all-white' US presidents is about to be broken or that some coloureds not knowing their place, may have deceived you hiding their heritage and been elected hiding under that 'all-white' sheet! The nerve of 'those people' assuming one of them

House Dems turn out the lights but GOP keeps talking
Off-Topic Discussion « General Discussion 8/05/08 5:18:53 AM
think pres bush2 spent about three years out of eight on 'vacation.' If pres bush2 and vp cheny are to ever be impeached most all republicans in the senate will have to be replaced this november 4, 2008 (need a 2/3 vote to impeach [67 senators.]) edit In the spring of 2006, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D. Calif) declared impeachment "off the table." WAR CRIMINAL status pres bush2; pardons HIMSELF retroactively against war crimes. The 'spying' by pres bush2 was "not only on foreigners" the decider spyed on EVERYBODY, domestic and foreign; hence why he and the telecoms needed immunity! The US Senate's impeachment trial role. |

why Obama will not be the US first black president
Off-Topic Discussion « General Discussion 8/04/08 5:50:31 PM
In 2001, Pres Clinton was honored as the nation's "first black president" at the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) Annual Awards Dinner in Washington, D.C. Research shows at least five U.S. presidents had black ancestors and Thomas Jefferson, the nation's third president (1801-1809,) was considered the first black president, according to historian Leroy Vaughn, (author of Black People and Their Place in World History) was the "son of a half-breed Indian squaw and a Virginia mulatto father." Racist (he hated indians) pres Andrew Jackson Jr, the nation's seventh president, (1829-1837) was the son of an Irish woman (Elizabeth Hutchison Jackson) who married a ?black man (Andrew Jackson;) ?Jackson's oldest brother had been sold as a slave. Research shows brothers Hugh Jackson died after the Battle of Stono Ferry (rather than the being sold into slavery) and Robert Jackson, died of smallpox during the American Revolution. Pres Lincoln, the nation's 16th president, (1861-1865) gossip had him the illegitimate son of an African man; Lincoln had very dark skin and coarse hair and his mother (Nancy Hanks) allegedly came from an Ethiopian tribe. His heritage and stance on slavery fueled so much controversy that Lincoln was nicknamed "Abraham Africanus the First" by his copperhead opponents. As Lincoln was of Melungeon descent (tri-racial: european, sub-saharan african, indian) and his father Thomas Lincoln (european) born in Rockingham County, Virginia, the fourth child of Revolution War Capt. Abraham Lincoln (1744–1786, european) and Bathsheba Herring (c1742–1836) for Pres Lincoln to be Melungeon means his mother Nancy Hanks was negro and indian. President Warren Harding, the 29th president, (1921-1923) apparently never denied his ancestry. According to Vaughn, William Chancellor, a professor of economics and politics at Wooster College in Ohio, wrote a book on the Harding family genealogy. Evidently, Harding had black ancestors between both sets of parents. Chancellor also said that Harding attended Iberia College, a school founded to educate fugitive slaves. VP/Pres Coolidge, the nation's 30th president, (1923-1929) supposedly was proud of his heritage. He claimed his mother (Victoria Josephine Moor Coolidge) was dark because of mixed Indian ancestry. Coolidge's mother's maiden name was "Moor" and in Europe the name "Moor" was given to all blacks just as "Negro" was used in the pc parts of the US. It later was concluded that Coolidge was part black. The only difference between Obama and these former presidents is that none of their family histories were fully acknowledged by others. Even though Obama is half-white (44% arabic, 6% negro, [Barack Hussein Obama's father was only 12.5% African Negro and 87.5% Arab {his father's birth certificate even states he's Arab, not African Negro}]) he strongly resembles his Kenyan father. And not only is Obama open about his ancestry, most people acknowledge him as a black man, which is why people will identify Obama, when elected, as the first black president of the United States. (Racist types in US insist 1 drop black blood makes one non-white! Hence why black blood in WW1 & 2 was segregated from "white" blood.) |

2. colours... mortal humans do NOT see "colors" they percieve reflected wavelengths sans (without) those that are absorbed by the reflecting body. 1. 'evidence against G'... It instructs bishops on how to deal with allegations of child abuse against priests and has been seen by few outsiders. Critics say the document has been used to evade prosecution for sex crimes. It imposes an oath of secrecy on the child victim, the priest dealing with the allegation and any witnesses. Breaking that oath means excommunication from the Catholic Church." 39 min video
