Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Mar 03, 2003 5:33pm PSTMuch like Maarten I'm also looking forward to the Raven Shield singleplayer demo. I figure even though I was never really a fan of the previous games, if I can get into some stealth game these past few weeks, why not Raven Shield next eh? I present you these links for your advice:

I believe the time for world war 3 is now. You can assume that it's going to be a global war (ww3) because of the lives that will be taken. And I believe this Iraq war has a 90% chance that it will spark ww3 because of the mentioning of the Euphrates river as the spark. ww3 will lead to the destruction of over 2 billion people, 1/3 of mankind. I dont know the nations involved, but it definitely has to be a nuclear war to kill this many people. ww3 is coming, it's only a matter of when.
Since the bible teaches that this catastrophic war will originate from the area of the Euphrates river, which is mostly in Iraq and war with Iraq is only days away, I just think that this thing is too close and this prophecy is looming ahead. I've been waiting for this moment because the other prophecies leading to this sixth trumpet (ww3) have already come to pass and this one is next. Even if this Iraq war goes bad there's just no way the United States and Iraq could equal the 2 billion+ death toll. There has to be other nations involved.
Here's my speculation just from reading news sources for the past year...
possible scenario of ww3:
So I'm sure we all know the crisis between India and Pakistan , both are nuclear powered. China and Taiwan, if it wasn't for the U.S. they would have Taiwan by now. And We promise to defend Taiwan and our threat is China nuking our major cities. You never know about that North Korean problem, they could jump in while were still busy with Iraq. Now just those nations alone could easily give you the death toll of 1/3 of man. It's not a far out thing to think of and everyday in the news you hear reports of all these hot spots.
end of speculation..
The outcry of this war is going to change the world forever...
The aftermath will launch us deep into world government as prophecied.
I didn't nearly explain all there is to know. There is just so much detail that I just wont go into all of it right now.
Lets see if I'm right :)

I hate hate hate how WOW plans on taking the same approach with pkilling as it did with the Diablo series. Basically, if you want to partake in pkilling you can flip the switch on, otherwise you are safe. That's pure crap! WOW is a MMORPG and pkilling should be part of that. Hey, if you decide to venture out with a stranger, just like real life, you better be aware of the dangers of getting killed. Blizzard deciding to nerf down something that should be a regular part of a MMORPG is stupid. Everyone should play by the same hardcore rules.
Oh and save the bs argument about "well i'm a newbie and i keep getting killed by level 100 people." My answer, well if you're a level 1 dude and you see a level 100 dude coming, you better run off in the opposite direction! Oh or is that just too difficult? MMORPG is supposed to be tough for beginners.
Thank you.

I brought some video work home to work on this weekend. Conclusions? My machine at home (upper mid-range these days) tears this POS a new asshole in every way. Editing video on the Mac platform is NO WHERE NEAR real-time, despite all their marketing ploys. There's no reason I should have to wait 5-10 seconds everytime I make a minute change to the movie timeline. Oh, and Apple? Have Final Cut Pro NOT render things that just don't need to me rendered? Adobe's stuff does it just fine. I wish I could strangle the guy who was here before me that had the ignorance to suggest such a solution to the company.
Real-world Macintosh applications? They don't exist. I've been looking for 2 years.
And before anyone gets pissy: Yes, it's been kept in good order. Programs installed: Photoshop, Final Cut Pro, After Effects, Premier. Nothing else. Drivers and system updates kept up-to-date too.
I'm going to push for Discreet all the way.

Today, prolific shack poster and gaming expert integer totally changed our views on how World of Warcraft™ should be developed and balanced. We have shed our shameful, crowd-pleasing anti-PVP stance and have decided instead to embrace the brave and hardcore PK overview.
Effective immediately, all WoW developers have been summarily executed and bodies have been disposed of. We joined #AO-PK on enterthegame.net and hired a new team.
Expect great things from Blizzard in the coming year - World of Warcraft is going to rock you.

This tournament is for everyone. You can be a hardcore clan that practices or just grab some buddies together and play (like us).
Sign-ups have started for the pre-qualifier, the optional practice and eastern on-line qualifiers. The only cost involved is a $15 registration fee, but in return, all paid participants will receive a free 12-month subscription to Computer Gaming World, courtesy of Ziff-Davis. Considering the subscription costs $24.97 and registration is only $15, you do the math!

Does anyone know how to solve this question? Assignment is due in two hours and it's the only one know I can't solve.
For what values of x does
(x+1)^n / n^ln(n) from n=1 to n=oo converge?
I think it has to be solved using the root test, but it may be the ratio test instead or even something else I'm not thinking of.
for example, say i have a recurrence relation:
T(n) = T(n/2) + 1
i get it to the point where T(n) = T(n/2^k) + k but how do i make the step to turn it into logs?
