New WoW Patch Brings Cross-Server Instances 342

ajs writes "World of Warcraft's Wrath of the Lich King expansion was staggered into 4 phases. The fourth and final phase, patch 3.3, was released on Tuesday. This patch is significant in that it will be the first introduction of one of the most anticipated new features in the game since PvP arenas: the cross-realm random dungeon, as well as the release of new end-game dungeons for 5, 10 and 25-player groups. The patch notes have been posted, and so has a trailer. The ultimate fight against the expansion's antagonist, the Lich King a.k.a. Arthas, will be gated as each of the four wings of the final dungeon are opened in turn — a process that may take several months. The next major patch after 3.3 (presumably 4.0) will be the release of Cataclysm, the next expansion."

I also use a really nice DLP HDTV projector for games and movies, and I cannot tell you what a PITA it is to set up that IR bar underneath the projector image in the front side of my living room but yet have the Wii sit in the back of the room where the projector and my amp sits. I have to disconnect everything when I'm done or my dog will trip over all the wires.

Wireless IR bars have been available a few weeks after the Wii launch. Those really solve the issue with Wii + Hometheater.

The bar does no actual communication with the Wii, just gets power from there.

According to one of the Win7 developers blog post, the TRIM is already being used in the Windows 7 RC release.

It's just a matter of getting firmwares that support said TRIM command out in to the existing SSD's now.

Yes, Trim is already in the Win7 RC.

Trim is enabled by default but can be turned off. You can use the "fsutil behavior query|set DisableDeleteNotify" command to query or set Trim.

MegaUpload's current captchas. Oh lordy are those awful.

On the subject of CAPTCHAs, the one used in gmail is just horrible, I could not get it right and had to resort to the voice option to get past it

I can't believe he's spending 6 weeks on "If we have free will then so do things that we interact with." I wouldn't think that was meat enough for a good paper, more less six weeks of lectures...Though I guess that's snarky, since I've read innumberable goddamn books about free will, even one's with this guy in 'em (Freedom Evolves by Daniel Dennet, had a long bit about the Game o' Life.)

You misunderstand, the publics requirement to attend the explanation is an age requirement of atleast six weeks. Looks like he managed to simplify the matter a lot!

Exactly how is someone going to get photo of you of sufficient quality to fool the recognition system without you knowing about it? You'll see the person taking the photo, and thus be able to deal with the potential breach before it ever happens.

And how exactly would I be supposed to deal with it? Visit my plastic surgeon?
