Region-specific changes coming to Allods Online (Massively)

Aug 26th 2010 10:59AM I'm not a big fan of paying for MMOs, but I have enjoyed playing Allods and would be willing to do occasional one-off purchases of bags and mounts. I am not, however, willing to spend money on something so I don't have my damage cut in half. It would also be nice if the items didn't disappear, too.

All new low-level players I have spoken to on the game love it until they realise they've got to spend money on candles just to be able to deal reasonable damage.

Microsoft: no more Windows XP on new netbooks after October 22, really (Engadget)

Jun 14th 2010 7:18PM @MacGyver The run box isn't necessary because all you have to do is type the command into the Start Menu search box and press enter. If you really must use the run dialogue, all you have to do is find it in accessories and create a shortcut to it anywhere you like. There's no point them keeping the run item on the menu by default if you can just perform all the commands using the input box on the Start Menu.

I've not heard of anyone else complaining about Windows 7 itself causing issues with their wireless; it's more likely to be driver issue, as it was for me.

You really prefer XP's slow, kludgey search over instant results? Regarding searching a different folder, you can always perform searches from the start menu. Aside from your minor complaints about it, I'd rather have near-instant results than have to fiddle with options and then wait whilst it looks through my files to find something that might be what I want. If it's that much of an issue for you, just open up the other folder and search within it; I guarantee you that would still be faster than pissing about with XP's search options, telling it where to look, what type of documents you want, what time-frame, etc.If you want advanced searching, you can still use all of these options within the search box using the operators: "Type: .doc" etc.

I can't check at the moment (my desktop still uses XP) but I thought you could expand the folder structure on the left-hand panel to completely cover the favourites. I personally would rather be able to just click to go to my most common locations than scroll through and expand folders, since I prefer speed and efficiency to doing things the way I always used to. I can still access the file structure if I want. I don't subscribe to your silly conspiracy theory about Microsoft making it easier and faster to access my common folders being some attempt to make me "A good little consumer."

"Do car manufactures move the steering wheel and pedals around every few years?"

That's not what they've done at all. The basic way of using Windows remains the same; they've just altered some bits. I'd suggest your wife would have preferred it eventually to using a 10 year old OS, especially since - unless you installed 64 bit XP - she probably can't even use all her RAM.

Ask WoW Insider: An early disappointment? (WoW)

Aug 12th 2008 3:04AM I can't say I'm excited either. The only thing that looks remotely interesting and new is the Death Knight. The rest just seems like a repeat of the Burning Crusade with ice instead of fire.

Windows 7 themes for Windows XP (Download Squad)

Jul 7th 2008 12:37PM Some still use XP because they don't want the various problems and issues associated with Vista. They want an OS that actually works properly - they stick with XP.
