I know that dev's don't bother putting in much redundancy into mmo's as hey its for gamers and the attitude is that gamers don't mind if they can't play for a few hours. Or are so addictied that you won't loose any business from it.
I'm a systems engineer and in my organisation I have to have every system redundant or I'd get fired f anything went offline even for a minute.
But I was just wondering if we all got together and donated say 10 bucks each would cryptic then be able to afford to put some reduncancy into the servers so unexpected downtime can be a thing of the past.
I know all the accountants are just after the big bucks but could something like this be done?
Or is it the nature of the beast that it's extremely difficult to adobt proper redundancy?
"I like those earrings, Claire.
Are those real diamonds, Claire?
Did you work for the money for those earrings, Claire?
Or did your daddy buy those for you?
I bet he bought them for you!
I bet those were a Christmas gift!"
:cool:
Classic!
Dear Mr. Vernon, we accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong. What we did *was* wrong. But we think you're crazy to make an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us... In the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each one of us is a brain...
...and an athlete...
...and a basket case...
...a princess...
...and a criminal...
Does that answer your question?... Sincerely yours, the Breakfast Club.
Someone should install a switch cover over the server power button. It would really cut down on the number of server shut offs due to the shenanigans going on in the server room.

If this stays down much longer, Obama is going to borrow another Trillion for a bailout ;-)
Nope hes too busy waiting for the servers to come back up.:)
Props to you man, best f'n song about picard. Im tummy hurts my face hurts... hurts soooooo good.
Many thanks. I had to bookmark that one, that's definitely a keeper.
What's amazing is that I actually happened to come across your reply. Given the state of this thread, that's like finding a needle in a haystack!
Once when I was in college I heard a song entitled "I Want to $#&@ Jean-Luc Picard," I think it was played by an all-girl band. When I first heard it, I laughed so hard I shot the soda I was drinking out my nose.
Here in Texas, when two trains meet each other at a railroad crossing, both must come to a full stop, and neither shall proceed until the other has gone.
I believe you have to wait until you get the retail code tie to that pre-order bonus to be able to activate it.
When you do that you will likely just have to press U to open your ship paperdoll. At the bottom you will see the option to Rename. Note: Some of the Rename functions can only be done at a spacedock. We don't know yet whether changing the registry prefix will require that.
Peanuts are planted and harvested with specialized machinery. Peanut seeds are planted about two inches deep, one every three or four inches, in rows about three feet apart. The seeds do best in sandy soil, especially soil rich in calcium. When the soil temperature is warm (65-70 F.) given enough water the seeds will sprout. In about two weeks, the first "square" of four leaflets will unfold above the peanut field. Thirty to forty days after emergence the plants bloom, "pegs" form and enter the soil. The peanut shells and kernels develop and mature during the next 60 to 70 day period. Depending on the variety, 120 to 160 frost free days are required for a good crop.
When the plant has matured and the peanuts are ready to be harvested, the farmer waits until the soil is neither too wet or too dry before digging.
When conditions are right, the farmer drives his digger up and down the green rows of peanuts plants. The digger has long blades that run four to six inches under the ground. It loosens the plant and cuts the tap root. Just behind the blade, a shaker lifts the plant from the soil, gently shakes the dirt from the peanuts, rotates the plant, and lays the plant back down in a "windrow," peanuts up and leaves down. When dug, peanuts contain 25 to50% moisture, which must be dried to 10% or less for storage. Peanuts are generally left in the windrows to dry for 2 or more days in the field, then threshed or combined.
The farmer drives his combine over the windrows. The combine lifts the plants, separates the peanuts from the vine, blows them into a hopper on the top of the machine, and lays the vine back down in the field. The peanuts are then dumped into wagons and cured to 10% moisture with warm air forced up through the floors of the wagons. The peanuts are then taken to be sold at nearby peanut buying stations.
Its too late for Del Taco specials!? OMG!
Oh wait, there's only three in St Louis and I'm not gonna go out hunting for them lol.... Taco Bell is right around the corner.

Everyone loves peanuts, but how do they grow?
