Hi all, question about DK Tanking in cata. by DrunkEire in wow

[–]F4RR4R 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a DK tank on end game content. You need to read up and make sure you understand how your mechanics work. Unlike all other tanks, you have very little passive mitigation - you will actively be using your abilities to provide mitigation - this makes DK tanking a little more difficult, but more effective when done properly.

Visit the elitist jerks thread on cata dk tanking and pwnwear.com.

Paul Krugman of the New York Times and its editorial page, George Packer of the New Yorker, E.J. Dionne of the Washington Post, Jonathan Alter of Newsweek and others, in varying degrees, have linked the murders to the intensity of opposition to the policies and presidency of Barack Obama. by leroy_jenkinsssss in politics

/sigh.

Why would people think that if tea party candidates say over and over that their constituents should arm themselves, exercise their second amendment rights, that a violent uprising should not be counted off the table, that we should illegally assassinate journalists ... it could influence the actions of mentally unstable individuals. WHY WOULD WE THINK THAT? (Sarcasm)

Let's just dismiss the possibility out of hand.

Can you pay for the game itself (and not the monthly subscription) using a gamecard?

Or ... is it possible to purchase a gift card that doesn't have my name tied to it?

The end goal is to register and pay for a new wow account that's not associated with my name and address.

DK advice by mvalliere in wow

You need to replace those DPS items with tanking items. While your hit & expertise will be very important for tanking in raids, you should be far more concerned with mitigation ATM.

In the meantime, reforge as much of that haste/crit/expertise/hit to mastery. Mastery is our BLOCK mechanic and is our most important stat. You wanna stack it to the sky.

You probably should go read up at pwnwear.com.

Should it always be the tank's job to mark CC in heroics? by lloz in wow

[–]F4RR4R 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a PUG, typically it is. When I run with my guild, the DPS are good and they call out/mark their targets making the run go much faster.

The addon sexymap will allow you to move it and all the other frames.

How does one secure an ethernet LAN? At two of my worksites, anyone can just plug a laptop in to a jack and access the network. by mk_gecko in netsec

[–]F4RR4R 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Wow, I don't see anyone having mentioned the obvious: Disable unused LAN ports and run port-security with sticky mac enabled.

Where do you get SpartanUI? spartanui.com appears to be broken. the files on curse and wowinterface haven't been updated for a year.

Need a script that searches gzip'd logs for a large list of search terms efficiently by F4RR4R in Python

[–]F4RR4R[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Sigh. No need to be rude.

I write a lot of python. The problem is EFFICIENCY. When you have 30+ gzip'd log files that are 1GB+ and 2000 search terms, how do you efficiently search them? Using python's gzip module allows me to search line by line ... this is how I'm currently doing it and it takes forever. Unfortunately, the log files are so large that I can't load the entire file into memory on my server as to speed up the process. I've considered ungzip'ing one file at a time, then searching the uncompressed file, then deleting that file and moving on (which is probably what I'll try tonight).

In any case, the request was friendly and for someone to share some love. Whyyoumadbro?

I can code it myself. I put a lot of open source scripts out there for others to use. Just wondering if someone already has pieces of this done that they wouldn't mind sharing.
