2/19    EQII's new /pizza command is really quite brilliant, but they're missing

8/29    There was once a CSUA web page which runs an SSH client for logging
        on to soda.  Does that page still exist?  Can someone remind me of the
        URL please?  Thx.
        \_ what do you mean? instruction on how to ssh into soda?
           \_ No I think he means the ssh applet, which, iirc, was an applet
              that implemented an ssh v1 client.  I think this page went away

11/20   Are there tools that can justify a chunk of plain ASCII text by
        replacing words with words of similar meaning and inserting/removing
        commas into the text?  I received a 40-line plain text mail where
        all the lines are justified on left and right.  Every word and comma
        is followed by only one space, and every period is followed by two

10/24  What's an easy way to see if say column 3 of a file matches a list of
       expressions in a file? Basically I want to combine "grep -f <file>"
       to store the patterns and awk's $3 ~ /(AAA|BBB|CCC)/ ... I realize
       I can do this with "egrep -f " and use regexp instead of strings, but
       was wondering if there was some magic way to do this.
       \_ UNIX has no magic. Make a shell script to produce the ask or egrep

His mother, Liz, was especially proud of his accomplishments, because, sh e says, Shawn struggled with learning disabilities and significant emoti onal problems. He may have had other problems, but she thinks Everquest pushed him over the edge. She guesses that something terrible happened in the game, to a character he called iluvyou - a rejection or betrayal, something that crushed him. And then I was trying to talk to him about it, and I sai d, Well, Shawn, you know, those arent people- theyre not real people. But Sony Online CEO John Smedley says the game did not cause Woolleys dea th. When I spoke with Ms W oolley I expressed my condolences. And its really one of those terrible things that happens. And theres just nothing to suggest that Everquest h ad any role in his death, he says. And I dont see a ny connection between a form of entertainment and somebodys tragic suici de. According to Smedley, calling Everquest addictive is nonsense. People need to take responsibility and say, Hey, you know, this is too much. But Liz Woolley thinks its a dangerous game, and addictive, by design. I think the way the game is written is that when you first start playing i t, it is fun, and you make great accomplishments. And then the further y ou get into it, the higher level you get, the longer you have to stay on it to move onward, and then it isnt fun anymore. But by then youre addi cted, and you cant leave it, she says. Since her sons death, she has connected with hundreds of other people who claim Everquest addictions are ruining their lives. At Everquest Widows, a Web site devoted to people who think that their pa rtners and spouses have become obsessed with the game, many people have the same feelings that Liz Woolley has. At the least, she wants Sony to includ e a warning label, saying that Everquest may be a risk for some people. But following the interview Smedley did order a ch ange: an alarm clock feature that allowing players to set their own limi ts. Is there a vulnerable population that should play Everquest? I think that in any form of entertainment theres going to be people that are going t o take things to extremes that maybe they shouldnt, says Smedley. And I dont think theres a role for us in trying to shepherd those people, beca use how do we identify them? If somebody shoots themselves in front of a computer screen of this game, theyre trying to say something, she says. You dont go sit in front of a computer game an d shoot yourself if it didnt have something to do with the game.

I'd expect these sort of report s to increase as the user base for online gaming grows and the games bec ome more realistic and accessible and more borderline people get sucked in enough to confuse their already confused realities. Isn't the ultimat e goal to be able to confuse gaming with reality? Not everyone can handl e that, but hey, not everyone can handle a car, a gun, or a knife either . USER COMMENTS 192 comment EQ (10:33pm EST Thu Sep 05 2002) EQ is one scewed up game i mean what idoit whould make such a game (diabl o) i lost a firend to that game thats y i hate it so much - by imthe_one EQ (9:15pm EST Fri Oct 18 2002) I steal EQ accounts for the fun of it, sort of a game inside of a game. T he real fun in EQ is hacking it and stealing other players PHAT LEWT! I never really "stole" anything, just gave the "mark" my naked high level account and let them play it for awhile to reequip it for me, while I p layed another account, then do password recovery after I could tell they had good stuff on my characters I "gave" them. EQ account stealing (10:47pm EST Wed Feb 19 2003) what program do i need to steal someones EQ account. by the way EQ rocks the best online game(lets wait until Stars Wars Galaxies hit the stores). If anyone knows how to steal an EQ acoount jus t tell me. All that precious time you spe nd wasting away on EQ could be time well spent on things that really mat ter. Turn your efforts, focus, time, & devotion instead to impact the re al world. Turn to Jesus, he will help you store up treasures in heaven that last an eternity! Stop being weak and join the rest of us in the real world. com - by GREEN need to know how to hack eq accounts (10:12pm EST Tue Mar 04 2003) Hey stereophonix (or anyone for that matter) can you tell me how to hack eq accounts? com - by GREEN he just did, goober (3:09pm EST Sat Apr 05 2003) He tells you the only "hack" above. He gets a character to high level, then removes all its items and lets someone play it while giving t hem the password/login. Later, he uses the sonystation everquest passwor d recovery system, whereby the owner of the original game cds (with the reg. codes) can say they lost the password (since that other person chan ged the password, of course) They then give him the new password, he goes in and changes the password again, while the person he "gave" the account can't find out the new one since he doesn't have the original CD's. Meanwhile, his character which was "naked" now has all the uber stuff that other guy worked to get for it. You will have to first do the work to get a characte r very high level. I don't feel bad about explai ning this because you are, of course, far too lazy to actually do all th e work. You are looking for a "quick" hack fix in EQ, there really is no ne. And if youre lucky make a few chat friends EQ is basically a big Chat room with things to do. It is a game plain and simple you should be able to hav e fun alt any level. I have made business contacts and use it to have fun with friends that have moved or are out on business it is cool if you dont let it run you r life. Anyone can get hooked on any game (Doom, Quake, Ultima, Grand th eft auto to name a few) online or drug. EQ is the only though that can t each a few good skills like Trading, value of money, fair play, friendsh ip, or statistics. Many will hate EQ no matter what, or anything they dont understand. Some people have real problems like they can't get out of their homes like a Crippled person. Others dont have th e money to go out all the time and EQ is a good way to have fun and not spend a lot of money. As long it is not the focus of your life then EQ c an be a good thing. But if it is the 1st thing you think about when you get up and last before bed then you have a problem. hopefully i w ont get screwed caus i have like 4 lvl 35+ char anyways i play jus caus im bored.. lata - by -unknown- yo (6:23pm EST Wed Apr 30 2003) someone email me your login name and password and ill get you hella stuff ... maybe its caus i said every curse word and told everyone to fk off.. maybe its caus i said every curse word and told everyone to fk off.. screw EQ - by suspended 1 EQ's Great (5:17am EST Wed May 28 2003) I love EQ! I just hope they do another free week soon so I can get back o n it since I can't afford an account right now. Hope my chars are still there by the time I can afford it again. Thx - by Robby sharing EQ accounts (7:24pm EST Sat May 31 2003) Is there anyone who is willing to share an EverQuest account because I sp ent all this money just buying the games and I don't have a job to pay f or the monthly fee. about any unused account keys that I could have t hat would be great. com if you have a revenge plan plz e-mail me - by want revenge Gamecard (3:51pm EST Tue Jul 08 2003) Can someone please give me a game card for my eq account my parents are d icks and took it away cause i got bad grades. net - by Aaron account theft (3:17am EST Fri Jul 11 2003) apparently, SoE has made a back-up system for their employee's using a an onymous hotmail account that that they dont want many to know about, som ething about if nothing else works, you can do this but dont let anyone know. since i stopped playing the forsaken game about a year ago i really dont care about what happens to the chara cters in it. And wish you all the luck in the world to screw them up. an yway, first off you have to know what the username of the persons accoun t your trying to get the password for is (that can be tricky sometimes) but after you do that its all real easy. first type your statio n user name on the top line, then skip down TWO lines and type the st ation username of the persons password you want to recover,now comes the part most people dont like but i guarentee it works, skip down THREE (3 ) lines and type your station password. if y ou do this just as i said you should get a response with the password yo u requested on it along with the username. if you did it wrong you get s ome error email saying not to try again from that email account for the next 24 hours. com i meant,lol who knows what email you will get back if you send it to hormail! i recomend not overduing it though people, we dont want it shut down - by EmAnziPatOr Strange... ppl kill for ever quest coz tehy have no life =/ so they get a "eq life". com at leats you dont get mad of it =/ - by Sir Valla n eh? here is how it would be "Hacked " i prefer calling it Cracked like cracked the system... she even took the EQ cd's but I downloaded the or iginal from the website for free. we don' t have credit cards, obviously, and we can't send in cash each month or anything and have tried but failed to sneak the gamecards by her. if you are willing to give us acces s to your account, so we can play on a given server we'd be grateful. th is isn't a scam to try and get your account or anything, we just really want to play and I promise we will only make chars on the server you giv e us. AWMW Y2HA Q7F2 Q0G 7WVB 5CGX DCRN MJW Thanks - by Jay infoguy=scammer (7:47pm EST Thu Aug 14 2003) Uh guys. all he did was make a hotma il account with a name sounding remotely like some sort of eq password r ecovery. he is asking you to provide YOUR login name and YOUR password.. verant supports thousands of people online at any given time but you real ly think they need to use a HOTMAIL email account for customer service i ssues? com Subject: EverQuest Password Recovery In the email: (THIS PART HAS TO BE PERFECT) On the first line put: On the 3rd line put: and on the 7th line, put: So it would look like this: - by Peter Huh? All these people talking about hacking and stuff, umm im not sure what to believe, can you give me some sort of evidense that can tell me that wh at you are saying is real? It just impossible to play EverQuest for free unless you spend week s and weeks entering many different Game Card numbers in the hope that o ne may be valid, and even then it's likely you'll come accross an alread y used one... Even my stepdads credit card doesn't work for EQ because i t's not one of the specific types it has to be... Doesn't this prove that the Best things in life...
