Is that a Wang on your board or are you just pleased to see me?
This is a bug. Mods will work again "in a future patch".

Press Shift+V to bring up all healthbars. Then simply click on the health bar of the NPC you need to talk to.
@1 So you think the question, "are two pairs of wings better than one", is not a forgone conclusion? Do you really think two pairs of wings gives any advantage whatsoever? The answer IS implicit in the question!

I think it's a perfect example of begging the question.
Here is the article in question: http://www.viruslist.com/en/analysis?pubid=204791963

Nowhere does it say what the proportion of trojans to online games to non-online games is. I think quotes have obviously been misinterpreted:

"Today the most popular MMORPG targets are Lineage 2 (more than 40% of all Trojans for online games target Lineage 2), World of Warcraft (20%)"

That's saying 20% of trojans targetting online games are targetting WoW, not that 20% of all trojans are targetting WoW.

"In 2006, the monthly number of Trojans for Lineage 2 and World of Warcraft rocketed and at year-end accounted for 70% of all malicious programs targeting online games."

Again, this is in relation to online games, not every trojan around.

I'm not denying that trojans targetting WoW (and other games) is a huge problem, but a lot of what's said in the article is incorrect.
Anything from The Inquirer should be taken with a bucket of salt...
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
