I'd have assumed that the previous poster was referring to horizontal (or vertical resolution*), not the actual pixel count within that missing area

Seeing as it leaves 384000 pixels out of the original 409920, the 25920 pixel loss accounts for a fairly small loss of 6.3%.

* depending on which way you're holding it ;)

Saying that it's emulating WoW poorly is a bit harsh, considering that the large scale PvP or RvR side of it is more emulating their previous MMO more than WoW. Which is what attracted me (and still does) to this game as I personally find WoW dull in this respect.

I do personally prefer DAoC's RvR though.

Hmmm. I semi-agree with the above, but I think that one of the strengths of Linux *is* the powerful CLI and reduced desktop functionality.

When the Windows GUI fails to start, there's often little that can be done from the command line to help, mainly because the bastardised CP/M-clone that is DOS has been further stripped of any useful features it may have once accidentally had. Linux, OTOH, takes the "power to screw up your machine" out of the hands of the average user and puts it back in the hands of the administrator.

The only thing I wish for is a faster version of OpenOffice....
