Re: Was the FX series a failure?
I'd hardly call it a failure overall. The FX5800 was a pretty bad slip-up, and they didn't really have a good mid-range solution for the price, but the FX5200 and FX5900 were very good for their price-points. Sure, the FX5200 is slow, but it's still much better than it's predacessor, the GF4mx, and it does very well against ATI's low-range budget card (the 9000/9200). I do give the FX5200 credit for actually offering a high-end feature on an extremely low-priced card, even if it was very slow at it (at least it can run tech demos to show off the prettyness of it
). The FX5900 corrected many of the problems people had with the FX5800, and it's quite fast as well. It still falls behind in DX9 stuff, but it isn't THAT big of a gap (the det50 drivers definatly helped it a lot), and that won't really be a huge factor for some time. For a while there the FX5900 was a better buy than the 9800 cards due to the huge drop in price that happened in late 2003, when you could get them for over $50 less.
The FX series certainly could've been better, but it was far from a failure.

Cast: Vijay Raaz, Manu Rishi, Raj Zutshi, Vishwajeet Pradhan
Director: Vijay Raaz
Rating: **
What's it about:
Inspired by the 2001 Oscar winning film No Man's Land, Kya Dilli Kya Lahore is a story set in 1948 at the Indo-Pak border. Manu Rishi an Indian cook and Vijay Raaz a Pakistani armyman are left to guard an outpost. Left to their own the two begin the traditional tu-tu main-main of proving whose country is responsible for the other's destruction. They swear by Nehru and Jinnah and those interested in that period might find this altercation quite amusing. The story is character driven and the writing is smart and engaging.
What's hot:
Manu Rishi does a fantastic job of playing his part with the right amount of enthusiasm. The dialogues are the real hero of the film as they bring out the real mood and flavor of the film. Most of the time is spent on the banter between Rishi and Raaz and the two are able to keep you entertained with their antics.
What's not:
There is very little scope for the story to progress as the one track plot gets monotonous. Raaz doesn't spend much time exploring any other angles or tracks in the film. There is a lot of talking that gets exhausting after a certain point. Also Indo-Pak films in the past have got caught in the trap of jingoism and Kya Dilli Kya Lahore isn't any different.
What to do:
With a better script and a better storyline the film would have been able to make a better impression.

I think we need a knowledge base article for bundled plugins.
I get lots of buyers asking for new versions of bundled plugins and how I should provide support for plugin bugs.
It would be great if I could point them to an official Envato thread.
This is exactly why we shouldn't be bundling plugins in with theme packages. Because when you distribute code with your theme, it becomes part of your product, and you do take on responsibility for that code.
Instead, themes authors should be able to recommend compatible plugins in a structured way, which customers can purchase individually – or as a discounted bundle with the theme (the revenue from which would be shared between theme and plugin author), but still obtain licenses for individual plugins.
The current system is just a race to stash the most premium plugins in a theme, and everyone loses.
There are a multitude of reasons to not include plugins with a theme.
1. It is in violation of the ThemeForest submission guidelines to bundle plugins within themes that are a premium product. Look at what happened to the author "Sara_p" ThemeForest removed one of their themes from the marketplace because of this issue: http://themeforest.net/user/Sara_p/portfolio the theme is back but they had to remove all bundled plugins in their themes, read more here: http://coenjacobs.me/dont-buy-bundled-premium-plugins/
2. It adds extra complexity to people's sites who may not need the functionality.
3. It makes code hard to maintain and quickly update.
When did themes become a bundle of plugins, images, fonts, etc? Why do a lot of ThemeForest authors just do it for money and not because they want to help the buyer and the WordPress community?
it became that way because Envato has forced authors to create unique themes that do fancy stuff. It would take forever to sit and create all this stuff. Why do that when there is a plugin that will do it for you. When you get your item rejected and the reason is that it doesn't offer enough functionality to compete with the marketplace. The only solution is to add more functionality and this comes in the form of a plugin. Just one opinion.
1. Its not a violation, if you look at the top 10 selling wordpres themes, they either have Revolution Slider or Layer Slider or both bundled.
You are exaggerating. I think its pretty simple, if the user wants support and continued update for a premium plugin, they can buy their own license.
It's just the fact that I have to tell them this everytime, bugs me.

by James Slater - In the days leading up to last night's return bout, Mexican legend Erik Morales vowed he would quit the ring for good if he could not defeat Jose Alfaro. Well, in coming back after a two-and-a-half year layoff, "El Terrible" proved he has at least something left at age 33. Winning a hard-fought, exciting battle with the former WBA lightweight champion, the former three-weight titlist prevailed by a UD: the scores were 117-111, 116-112,116-112.
Morales, who weighed-in at around 148-pounds for his return, is now 49-6(34). 26-year-old Alfaro of Nicaragua, who had also promised a win and fought hard trying to get one, is now 23-6(20).
No-one really knew what to expect going into last night's WBC intercontinental welterweight bout held in Monterrey, Mexico. Many felt Morales - who complained after his last fight back in 2007, against David Diaz, that he had pains in his head due to the punches he'd taken in the lightweight points loss - was running the risk of being badly hurt or embarrassed by returning to the ring.
This was not the case last night (although the win was a far from easy one for Morales, and at times the action was quite brutal, with both men trading furiously) and Morales proved he still has some fire in his belly.. But what does the future hold? No doubt, having successfully cleared the hurdle of his initial comeback bout, Morales will fight again pretty soon. But though the beloved warrior, who looked a little "chubby" as a welterweight, showed he has enough left to remind his fans of the incredible ability he once had, his talk of meeting Manny Pacquiao in a fourth fight still disturbs.
Beating the smaller Alfaro is one thing (but, to be fair, some people did tip the younger man to get the win last night), but how will Morales cope with an elite welterweight or light-welterweight? Craving his place in the history books, and feeling he can get it by becoming the first Mexican boxer to win world titles at four different weights, Morales will possibly have one more fight against a good opponent, before going for a title.
As popular as he is, Morales is likely to get his chance; but who against? "El Terrible" also spoke of a fight with countryman (and WBO lightweight champ) Juan Manuel Marquez. But Morales looks to have a hard time ahead of him if he's to make 135-pounds, and Marquez looks set to face Juan Diaz in a return of their great fight next in any case.
On the whole, Morales deserves credit for last night's fan-friendly victory (has this guy ever been in a bad fight!) but the fears his admirers felt when his return was first announced are still there.

Motorsports broadcaster Ken Squier often says that athletes, in particular racers, "are common people doing uncommon things."
If that's the case, then 24-year-old athlete Katie Spotz is an extraordinary person accomplishing the impossible with everything she accomplishes.
In 2008, she swam the entire 325-mile distance of the Allegheny River from July 22 to August 21 accompanied by safety kayaker James Hendershott.
As if that wasn't challenging enough, Katie rowed across the Atlantic Ocean last year in just over two months. Even with the last-minute route changes, she made history in two ways. Witness:
- Katie became the youngest person to ever row across the Atlantic
- She became the only American to row solo from Africa to South America
Katie's competed in the Half Ironman Triathlon and the Oxfam Trail Run as well as cycling over 1,000 miles of solo bike tours across the US, once traveling 236 miles in a day. To say the least, she seems to raise that bar of excellence to a higher level with her accomplishments.
That standard went up two notches recently as Katie and her teammates wrapped up a 3,000 mile 24/7 race called Ride for Your Lives! just two weeks ago.
Making her presence and record in the race more impressive was the fact that she gutted out a fractured pelvis injury that occurred while training for this cross country competition.
Just imagine getting prepared for one of the biggest events of your life, only to have a physical setback which would most certainly end your plans before they ever began.
Never one to give up, Katie and teammates Sam Williams, Kevin Malone, and Anne Miltenburger treked their way across the US, working hard as one to come up with a way for the race to still go on.
The pride of Mentor, OH was able to finsh the race with a special handbike which she required some seat time. Still, she toughed it out and (not to anyone's surprise) as of the moment, she's planning her next journey!
I had the opportunity to interview Katie this week via email and as you'll see, she's very personable, thoughtful, and an athlete sans the ego and attitude that some sports figures display.
Also, Katie and I have a bit of a friendly competition with each other - especially evident towards the end of the interview!
Just remember Katie, healthy or not, I'll still have to bring my A-game to even have a chance to beat you in a foot race!
So sit back, relax, and enjoy my exclusive interview with the "Girl on a Mission: Katie Spotz Cycles Across America Against the Odds!"
Rob Tiongson : Katie, it seems like when you've accomplished the impossible, you find something that just raises the bar in terms of going beyond most people's limits. I understand you cycled across the country for a very good cause while battling a fractured pelvis. What were your emotions when you realized the extent of your injury in relation to your 3,000-mile race?
Katie Spotz : Seven days before the race I was training on the Santa Cruz mountain, doing a loop that I've done hundreds of times before. Eight months into training, I knew that route like the back of my hand.
After taking a spill on the downhill, I immediately knew something wasn't right, but was convinced that it was only minor.
Perhaps, a pulled muscle. When I visited the doctor's office and found out that it was actually a fractured pelvis, I was in disbelief. I even had the doctor print out the x-rays, as I wasn't fully convinced.
I was shocked. I thought this race I had been dreaming about would be over before it began. Then, I decided to get creative.
RT : Now being an all-around athlete, how'd you compensate or cope with your injury so that you could participate in the Ride for Your Lives! bicycle race from Oceanside, CA to Annapolis, MD?
KS : After rowing the Atlantic, running across deserts, and swimming down a river, I always reminded myself that obstacles are truly opportunities in disguise.
I've been motivated by countless number of people who set out to achieve things when the odds seem completely against them.
An hour after learning I had fractured my pelvis and nonstop calls to friends and family, I thought that a handbike would be my way to continue to be a part of the journey.
Instead of the standard road bike, I would be pushing myself completely by hand, with a specialized bike utilizing only the upper body.
And with the minor issue of not knowing how to ride a handbike, my new focus the week before the race became learning how to ride a bike.
RT : I'm certain that with any athletic endeavor that you undertake requires some kind of training. How'd you prepare yourself for this race – was it any different than when you geared yourself up for rowing solo across the Atlantic last year?
KS : The training for my ocean row was a walk in the park compared to preparing to cycle nonstop across America. I worked closely with a coach who tailored a program based largely on heartrate zones.
I gradually built up to 30 hour weeks on the bike with a mixture of about eighty percent of my rides being endurance workouts and the rest either intervals or hill repeats. And, my stomach got quite the exercise during the training and race itself. To fuel 12 hours of cycling or 200 miles a day, we estimated that I would need to consume 10,000 calories a day.
RT : With the race completed and that you've had some time to reflect on it, what are you most proud of accomplishing with racing across the country?
KS : The team behind it. We finished a challenge that had become something nobody could possibly have anticipated. What started out as an attempt to break the two-person mixed record for the Race Across America had turned into a battle to simply reach the end.
We wouldn't have finished this journey without our friends who chipped in to cover the distance, and made sure we were happy and healthy as we made our way across.
RT : Does your injury require any surgery or did your doctors suggest rest as a means to recover following your grueling race?
KS : Luckily, it's just a matter of playing the waiting game. It's a stable fracture, meaning it will heal on its own in 6-8 weeks. I can still exercise if I use pain as a guide, and keep to low impact sports. Racing across America was not recommended!
RT : You're 24-year-old but you've accomplished more than most people do in a lifetime and in amazing style. Is there ever a time where you go, "Katie, is this all I can do?" or "I think I've reached my goals, but there's more challenges that could come my way?"
KS : Where I'll be in five years time is a mystery, and I'm not interested in creating bucket lists or planning out every step.
Rather, I feel like adventures find me when I least expect it. There are certain adventures that capture my imagination and never let me go. That is, until I give it a try myself!
So although it's great to have accomplished what I have, I feel like more than anything else, it's important to enjoy the ride whether I'm pushing the limit in endurance or lounging on a lazy Sunday.
RT : When adversities strike people, they tend to rely on the support, whether it's emotionally or mentally, to get through pressing times.
Who keeps you motivated and fueled to keep at it, even when you feel like the odds are against you?
KS : Motivation comes in all shapes and sizes. During this past race across America, just seeing another race ahead or behind was enough to get me pumping.
But more than anything else, it's my closest friends, especially the ones I train with. It's amazing how quickly a 100 mile ride can go when you're with the right company!
RT : Free Association time for you, my friend. You've done this before in grand style, but I'd love to see how you'd handle these ones! You know the routine, so let's do it!
KS : ...is temporary.
RT : Perseverance.
KS : Comes in all forms.
RT : Endurance.
KS : All mental.
RT : Courage.
KS : Sometimes, it is just trying.
RT : Life.
KS : Changes in an instant!
RT : Spontaneity.
KS : ...Is accidentally leaving your teammate in the desert (during the race)!
RT : Thrills.
KS : Riding in the rain on new purchase of scooter!
RT : Regrets.
KS : Our greatest teachers.
RT : I have to ask you, since I really am curious – what's next for Katie Spotz? Are you already planning up what your next endeavors will be?
KS : Doing this race on handbike made me realize how much I want to race again, but without a broken pelvis!
I would love to team up with my friend and teammate during Race across America to take on another cycling challenge next year, with the hopes to raise some more funds for the Blue Planet Network.
RT : Now that this interview's nearly done, want to hit up the local track and run 7 miles with me? I have about 2,993 miles to do to catch up to you!
KS : Don't tempt me. Remember, only low impact sports until my bones heal up! You'll have to ask me again in three weeks time.
Author's Note : I'd personally like to thank Katie Spotz for taking the time for me to interview her as she came off the heels of her exciting race across the States. It's always a pleasure to catch up with her and if you'd like to learn more about her, search her Facebook fan page "Katie Spotz" or on her Twitter!
Also, I'd like to thank Betty Weibel, Ibby Clifford, and Veronica White for getting this interview with Katie scheduled in her busy weeks. She's got great people representing her and they obviously epitomize her standard of excellence.
Lastly, I'd like to thank Esther Morgan for providing the pictures of Katie as seen in the interview!

Chelsea dominated throughout and led at halftime through an own-goal by Gael Givet, before four second-half goals at Stamford Bridge sealed its biggest ever win in 102 years of games against Rovers.
Lampard scored with a firm shot, Michael Essien scored from about 35 metres, Lampard hit a penalty and Didier Drogba headed in — all by the 64th minute.
Leads by two points
Chelsea now leads by two points from defending champion Manchester United.
Tottenham and Sunderland missed good chances to close in on the leaders on Saturday.
Tottenham could have gone level on points with leader Man United with a victory but stayed in third place after a 1-0 loss to visiting Stoke.
Sunderland was hoping to move into the top four but lost 2-1 at Birmingham.
Givet put Chelsea ahead in the 20th minute when he redirected Nicolas Anelka's pass into his own net.
Fierce shot
Lampard rushed into the area to smash in a rebound in the 48th minute, and a few minutes later Essien scored with a similarly fierce shot from about twice as far out.
Lampard scored a 59th-minute penalty following a foul by Ryan Nelsen on Drogba, and the Ivory Coast striker rounded off the scoring with a close-range header from a corner.
Chelsea twice beat Blackburn 5-1, most recently in 1964.
The Blues moved up to 24 points from 10 games, two more than United and five more than Tottenham, which dominated visiting Stoke but played the last 13 minutes with 10 men after an injury to winger Aaron Lennon and conceded a goal with four minutes left.
Ricardo Fuller burst down the right at White Hart Lane and cut a pass back to substitute Glenn Whelan, who smashed a shot past goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes.
"We had so many chances, the keeper's made great saves, they've kicked shots off the line and they've only had one shot worth talking about," Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp said.
Liam Ridgewell and James McFadden gave Birmingham victory over Sunderland, which scored only in the 82nd through an own goal.
Hugo Rodallega scored twice to lead Wigan to a 3-1 win at Burnley, while Portsmouth and Hull stayed in the bottom three after a 0-0 draw at KC Stadium.
The results: On Saturday: Birmingham 2 (Ridgewell 37, McFadden 48) bt Sunderland 1 (Dann 82-og); Burnley 1 (Fletcher 4) lost to Wigan 3 (Rodallega 11, 51, Boyce 76); Chelsea 5 (Givet 20-og, Lampard 48, 59-pen, Essien 52, Drogba 64) bt Blackburn 0; Hull 0 drew with Portsmouth 0; Tottenham 0 lost to Stoke 1 (Whelan 86). — Agencies

The effort was being led by residents who are in disagreement with a $4 million school bond issue that was passed last year. In November, voters approved the bond in a vote of 316-284, however, residents filed a lawsuit alleging the board of holding illegal secret meetings. Residents are currently appealing a judge's ruling to dismiss the accusations.
Knox County Clerk Joann Fischer stated there is a Saturday deadline to verify the signatures. She also stated that each petition must have 163 valid signatures from area registered voters to have a recall election.[2]
Petition circulators stated that each petition collected more than 220 signatures.[3]

Probably any experienced web developer would be familiar with this problem: over time your css files can grow pretty huge and ugly because of all the no longer used selectors, which might be pretty tricky to find. I'm working on a rails project where we tend to re-design things quite frequently, which leads to a tonne of deadweight css. What's the best way to find and remove it?
Now, I do know that there is a rails plugin called deadweight built specifically for that purpose. However, here's my problem with deadweight: first of all, it completely ignores selectors used in javascript. Next, it scans only those pages that you configure it to scan which means there's a risk of removing something that is used on pages that you didn't scan for some reason. Finally, it finds unused selectors only in compiled css (we use LESS) - matching these against the actual code is a bit too involved.
I have also tried http://unused-css.com/ - they're great, but can't access localhost and, again, can only scan compiled CSS.
I really think there must be a better way of doing this. Actually, some time ago I decided to optimise one particular css file by grepping each selector in the entire project directory (emacs + rinari mode make it super-easy and super-fast), and each time I didn't see any html or css in the results I removed the style. Zero problems, worked like a charm. Obviously, I'm not going to do that for the entire site. However, I really don't believe that this couldn't be automated. Now, before I fire up my python and code this up, can anyone actually tell me if I'd be reinventing the wheel?

Was reading MO official forums and when i run on Sebastians answer on a matter concerning textures of different matterials, sets and pieces of armor i felt an urge judging him and questioning him based on his post cause honestly felt it was unprofessional, sad and unsufficient. After a chat with a polite fellow some of the usual trolls/ fanboys jumped on me and started bashing Greece (the country i come from) without a paricular reason probably to make me furious, disorientate the conversation or whatever. I felt angry ofc for being forced to confront 20 year old trolls with no manners, rude, lack of education and orientation with only cause to grief people and make them angry but still i managed to hold my breath and sit back to see if they will be permanent banned for racist comments which is usualy the No1 rule in most of the forums of all kinds. Same applies for official MO forum which is rule 1c.
I m realy curious to see if moderators will take an action against hideous behaviour like that or they will simply overlook the fact since i was judging/ questioning somehow Sebastian and they where defending them even though it was in the worst way they could possibly choose to do something like that.
Heres the link for the thread http://www.mortalonline.com/forums/73574-so-thats-what-full-oghmium-looks-like.html
Sebastian's place on the subject was on posts #23, 27, i jumped in at post # 37 and the racist posts started on # 42 by Pakee to be backed up by Stephum on # 46 in a way more rude, insulting and straight forward way.

read what you just posted. you were harshly judging someone else on their professionalism while insulting them by saying it was "sad and unsufficient", and then claim to be a victim of other people judging you. a victim of "20 year old trolls with no manners, rude, lack of education" while you're talking to sebastian like he's been intentionally fucking over the entire MO community for 2 years. it's like you don't give a shit what happens to him or SV employees as long as you get every bullet point on the feature list.
hypocritical and brimming with prejudice. how do you expect anyone to take you seriously?
btw, that was all constructive. it was meant to help you.
EDIT: there was only one dude who said anything about greece, which was beside the point and not all that insulting.
also, yes. i did follow you here cause i'm bored.
LOL @ "Racist" comments... I didnt know "Greek" was a race. =P
Anyhow, you realy should report MO to the ADL- They will jump on this injustice.

Well, that thread proves those guys have little clue how to handle textures and materials in unreal.. it got one of the most powerful material systems yet seen in any engines, as long as you take it for account from the start. Although Argirop, your post was little uncalled for, Seb did his best to explain it way he sees it, I see no reason for calling it sad or unprofessional.
So, the folks on MO official forums are brainwashed and don't want to admit the devs at SV are totally unprofessionnal...DUH !
The thread was pretty funny because Sebastian basically owned himself and admitted that it was the core design of their programming that was flawed. People finally start opening their eyes and realise that behind the beautiful 3D engine, there is a fundamental lack of artistic design and lack of variety in models and textures.
Finally someone mentioning how poorly textures are being tiled endlessly on the ground on a unique pattern.
And yes, the OP said the truth, Devs at SV are unprofessional and "lazy". lazy, not because they don't work hard, but because they don't work the proper way due to lack of experience, they chose the quick easier solutions which after look bad.
And yes the insults aimed at Greece are unacceptable, yet MO forum moderation allows it, while banning other people for "negativity" aimed at the game.
When facing arguments, the rabid fanboys resort to the "derp" type answers and attacking the guy's own country.

your definition of lazy doesn't exist. lazy isn't the inability to do something from the lack of experience.
how you can get that we're fanboys at all is a mystery to me. most of the responses weren't even aimed towards the game itself, but with the development team and having sympathy for their situation. the only person whos bias is absolutely clear is yours and those like you.
you live in a fantasy land, and i honestly don't know why i'm even bothering posting here.

So you were one of the people who actually resorted to insulting his nation? Brilliant !
You speak a lot but in the end, all you say is that you and the other fanboys defend SV whatever they do, OP attacked SV and question their skill, you didn't like it, so resorted to personnal attacks, and people who don't like MO are blind, the faithful followers on the official forums are the ones holding the truth...
Please carry on embarassing yourself. Oh and btw, whatever OP had said on the devs, it would never justify personnal attacks on a country, that just shows what kind of a person you are.

It's not about people believing MO is good, it's about people enjoy playing MO.
So there's people who play it and like to talk positive about their game experience (duh), and than there's people who don't play it but like to point fingers, talk shit and judge in general.
I don't think I have to point out which ones should back off and move on.

I know exactly what im posted and i feel and believe every word. I m a customer that bought a product which is not what advertised to be and i m at least entitled to complain and judge those who did deliver the specific product and they follow a certain policy i find it to be ridiculous at least. I also never claimed to be the victim of a situation or anything and at my 31 years old i dont find it a problem to confront rude kids which they totaly lack constructive arguments and using insults or the place i come from to justify their saying or simply cause grief. But this doesnt change the fact that we are talking about an open forum and no one shoulkd be able to use expresions as "no one has interrested in the shithole Greece is. You shouldnt be considered anymore part of Europe nor be a part of any civilized NATION. You should be a pair of Somalia and 3rd world countries..." Those where words written by Stephum. The initial posts and my answers on him removed and he got banned as far as i know. Still i told him that Europe is not a nation but a continent, tried to understant where did his opinion about Greece came from and also how did someone managed to drive a conversation about textures into insulting a nation. Btw as a person and Greek one i do not accept the term 3rd countries nor i take it that Somalia is lower to any other nation. I take those nations as troubled countries for several reasons but at the end i give a value to people and simply cannot evaluate nation and i do have a strong believe that every human being is equal wherever he comes from. At the end mods did their job and banned Stephum for his absurd comments and after all the title of this thread comes with a questionmark and OP comes along with the question that needs to be seing what mods will do.
As it is about Sebastian i will not hide that i have little to nothing respect for him. And that not cause i m judging him as a person nor i know him personaly but i m talking about his job. No i dont think he intentionaly fucks up the community for 2 years but i do think that he fucks the community for 2 years. And thats cause he cant code, he cant fix his mistakes and instead of doing that he comes with new bright ideas every now and then but still he fails to implement them. Concerning textures he admited that system is flawd and needs to be redesigned from scratch. And my point of view is that if that needs to be done then do it instead of asking for sympathy, asking from your customers to hold on with something thats flawd. Priorities is a different story and if we re about to discuss it this wall of text will become huge so i m skiping it.
I m not expecting from anyone anything. I m puting down my thoughts and i expect answers. hypocritical and brimming with prejudice? How did you come up with that? I will be happy to listen. I m concerned mostly about the hypocritical part cause i totaly fail to see what are you talking about. Maybe not a wise chose of words?

Toferio the fact that SV's dev crue has little knowledge, skill, experience and talent its not a surprise to anyone. Same rule applies for textures of different matterials, type sets and armor pieces. From how i m seeing it Sebastian is the source of all the bad things that coming around MO. I do remember him from early days when MO was still a project on the go when he was being funny, optimistic reasuring to the community and from all those early conversations everybody including myself believed that he was the talented programmer who will practically deliver MO in a revolutionary form with awesome features, exciting and fun to play. But that wasnt the case. What more to say. The guy has some ideas but he cannot deliver them. He cant code. He cannot fix what he did wrong which to summarize it was the full code in every section in MO. And what needs to be done to fix those errors? Redesign the code from scratch. And still that doesnt mean that a new code designed by the same people will not be flawed cause i have the strong believe that they might fix some errors of the past that they know now but who can guarantee that they will not make new errors. Whos to blame for that? me or the average gamer?
I hope you can understant my frustration when i see someone to say in every case the same line: we are aware of the issue, its cause bla, bla, bla, bla, bla but in order to fix it we have to redesign the whole bloody thing so we will simply leave it as it is and we will focus on delivering new half assed features that they will probably wont work and in order to fix them we have to redesign the whole system which will never happen. I strongly feel that this guys are laughing not behind our backs thing anyone would accept for a company to do but straight into our faces.
Sorry about the slappy posts but its a busy day so i m doing 10 things at the time i m typing and plus my bad English doesnt help my cause. I hope you get my point though.

WoW OP you really went off on one for no reason at all.. the dev said its somthing they do need to look into but would require them starting from scratch when it comes to character textures.. in other words it would take a lot of work but its somthing they have thought about doing..
I think you just need to chill out.. its a shame people did start going on about your nationality and yeah that was wrong..but calling the dev lazy and unprofessional was also wrong..
I know whats involved with creating games as im currently working with a team on one now and its no easy task, they took on the unreal engine at a very early stage when it still had lots of bugs and basic features. I wouldnt even touch the unreal engine now as its a pain in the arse to work with but there we go...

I dont take the incident seriously and tbh i dont expect to run on high educated individuals whith philosophical concerns in a forum about a game. But non the less i do expect the users to follow some certain rules not because they re typed in a page as forum rules nor i have a high opinion about some forum rules neither the ones who put them there. But because some unwritten rules are fundamental principles of humanity and for those people or over the world sacrificed their very own lives. So its ridiculous just because one kid that feels warm and cozy behind the anonymity that offers him the internet to break them without a particular reason but just he feels he can do that.
And if you ask me what needs to be done in this occasion its not difficult to figure it out. I m not a fan of extreme measures, jailtime, fines, death penalty. Its way too more simple just to ban them from the forum cause apparently some people are not ment to have social contacts for their own good and for the sake of others sometimes or simply if you do notice any signs of that kind of behaviour as a parent just pull them their ears, givem some time to think about it and then have a nice good, deep and detailed chat explaining them what does makes us humans different of all the other animals on earth.

Forgive my inability to accept people's word over the internet without a grain of salt, but you come off sounding like a player ended beta-tester claiming to be a part of the dev team. If you truly were a part of a development team then you wouldnt would use words like "working with a team" but something along the lines of "am part of a team". Got any proof with which you can back up your...claims? You see I am a fanmodder myself, and find it curious as to why a "developer" would even come down here to the forum of a bug ridden mess and dare to claim he is one and create unwanted controversy, besides Im having some minor difficulties with realigning GOB(s) positions to consecutive root based animations so maybe you could provide me with some "professional" insight as to what can be done? We`ll talk about the animations in PMs but post your proof of claims here so that others might know you better and know for sure that you arent blowing smoke when you claim to be a game developer, thank you.
I digress though, as for this thread....OP you should have known better man. You call a moronic developer (sebastian) a moron on their forums. Random fanboys take up arms to defend their religion, which is MO. They are willing to burn for MO, ban for MO and sure as hell attack one's birthplace for the sake of...MO? That sebastian is a failure of a dev, no offence to him but hes just not cut out for the work. Redesigning textures isnt the same as splitting mountains as some might make you believe. If you have the bone set, you can replot or even remod the wireframe that goes around it and (dont know for sure which format skin goes in to UE3 models) reedit the .dds or TARGA and wrap that around the whole thing after setting RGB alpha channels to get the right amount of light saturation that might mimic real skin/armour/etc. All this in a day's work. Designing layout isnt a back breaking task either, but for this team (Starvault) who cant get off their bum and get some work done with the amount of skill that MO requires, its a nightmare. And they (and their fanboys) will make you believe that designing a game requires the hands of god and beyond the skill of mortal folk and that therefore Starvault are in-turn gods who designed and gave you mortals this game of Mortal Online.
You can after all teach a dog to bang its paws on a piano but you cant teach it to play one of Beethoven's symphonies. Expecting it to do so and then calling it a son of a bitch for not knowing how to, doesnt help anyone. Its pups are gonna bark at you man.
This is the shite that is MO, take it or leave it. But engaging one of its devs in conversation about how he is useless, as true as it is, is just pointless. If you want to talk ill about MO on their forums, do so at your own risk but go with an iron stomach and with your flameproof overcoat donned on.
Look, when you just repeat the same tile of texture on a unique pattern for miles and miles of terrain, I call it lazy, sloppy, you chose the word you like the best.

Race and Nationality are two diffrent things my friend... For the most part European and Americans are "Caucasion"- Same as me.
Plus, I am sick as hell of the "PC" police (not PC as in "personal Computer" lol)- Get some thicker skin if you are so sensitive that you cannot stand the "plot of land" you live on to be "talked about".
Oh, and BTW- I do not play MO but I think they (the Devs) have achived alot with the resourses they have- If it was not a PVP deathmatch and was more like UO- I would gladly play. It is not, so the game is not for me- But I wil not insult their Dev team because of it.
-Grow up. EDIT: I am not telling YOU (the peron whos post I am responding to) to grow up- I am meaning the OP.

Global airlines grouping Oneworld has said it is open to taking on board an Indian carrier provided it complements other members and has high service standards like Kingfisher Airlines, which has now been grounded due to financial troubles. "If someone like Kingfisher wants to work with us and have quality products, we will certainly consider," Oneworld chief executive Bruce Ashby said during an interaction with the media on the sidelines of the function of SriLankan Airlines joining the alliance over the past week in Colombo.
SriLankan Airlines, the first from the sub-continent, joined the elite club of global airlines from May 1. There are three airlines groupings -- Star Alliance, SkyTeam and Oneworld. Star Alliance, which the national carrier Air India is expected to join from July, is the largest of the three with 26 members followed by SkyTeam with 19 members and Oneworld with 15 members.
While Oneworld has carriers like American Airlines, Cathay, British Airways, Qantas and Qatar Airways, Star Alliance has Singapore Airlines, Lufthansa, Scandinavian, Air China, and Turkish Airlines among its members.
Stating that the alliance is close to taking onboad a domestic carrier in the club, Ashby said he feels "very bad" at the Kingfisher experience as all that (grounding) happened before they could be part of the league. The Vijay Mallya-promoted carrier Kingfisher was taken in the premier alliance as a member-elect way back in 2010, but before it could officially join the alliance, the carrier sank into financial distress, leading to its grounding on October 1, 2012.
Ashby said however that Oneworld did not have serious discussions with any domestic carrier following the Kingfisher episode. Ashby said Oneworld looks for an airline as a member who compliments its fellow airlines in the club and has high quality standards.
At the same time joining an alliance depends on an individual carrier too as at times the alliance may be intending to take on board that particular airline but that airline may have interest in another grouping. "So it takes time to figure out, who are the ones and what relations will work," he said.
Ashby, however, said that despite no Indian carrier under its wings, the alliance was being represented through the members' airlines such as Qatar Airways and Sri Lankan which have strong presence in the local market. The low-cost carriers might be part of any of the global alliances in the times to come, he said, adding that such a development cannot happen unless interested LCCs upgrade themselves to a higher level. "It might happen. But it would be an expensive proposition for a low cost carrier to join an elite alliance. They will have to upgrade their IT systems, retrain their people, and do a lot of things," he said.
Citing the example of German budget carrier airberlin, which joined the Oneworld as its 11th member in 2012 after it changed its business model and technology, Ashby said, "I don't see any reason why it won't happen in India." Oneworld serves almost 1,000 airports spanning 150 countries, with 14,250 daily departures, generating USD 140 billion in annual revenues. Besides, it carries more than 500 million passengers a year on a combined fleet of some 3,300 aircraft and offers over 600 airport lounges.

The 3D Hype Bubble is Completely Busted and That is a Good Thing
The talk about whether stereoscopic 3D gaming is dead or will die soon continues, I've already
shared some thoughts on that topic
, however there is another interesting article by Neil Shneider from MTBS, published on Gamasutra, that you might want to check out. Neil also does an overview on what and how things are developing lately in regards not only to Nintendo, but stereoscopic 3D gaming and 3D in general, the most important thing however is the conclusion he makes. The fact that the 3D hype bubble is now completely busted as some media is claiming is actually not a bad thing according to him, and I can say that I agree as well, especially considering that too much hype can make things go the wrong way and we've seen that happen with 3D in some aspects already.
Bursting the 3D hype bubble is actually not a bad thing, because now people interested in stereoscopic 3D gaming and 3D content in general should be able to get a more clear view without too much hype surrounding it. And most of all the focus will not be the hype surrounding it and everyone thinking that all things 3D are great and deserve the attention and your hard earned money. With everything stereoscopic 3D things follow the same principle as with everything else ' something new and trendy gets a lot of hype, but that does not make it good for sure, or bad for that matter. And when you remove the all the hype surrounding it, things become clearer and easy to judge, is it good or is it bad. Not to mention the fact that when 3D is not surrounded by too much hype, the companies and individuals interested in making a quick profit, exploiting the 3D hype should also disappear or at least become a lot less. Now, it is a completely different thing if other big companies that are producing good stereoscopic 3D content and products get scared by the lack of hype surrounding 3D and leave that market, this can indeed be a bad thing, but this is not even close to happening as we can clearly see. So stereoscopic 3D is here to stay, it will not be gone overnight as some people may think, and the users interested into stereoscopic 3D gaming are just getting more and more.
More about why it is actually a good thing that 3D hype is starting to wear offâ?¦

On March 22, 2011, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its opinion in Matrixx Initiatives, Inc. v. Siracusano, 562 U.S. ___ (2011), an important securities fraud class action with potential implications for pharmaceutical and device manufacturers and others.
Matrixx Initiatives, Inc. v. Siracusano
The plaintiffs in Matrixx alleged that the drug manufacturer Matrixx Initiatives and three of its corporate officers (collectively "Matrixx") violated § 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 10b-5. Matrixx, through a subsidiary, manufactured and sold Zicam, an over-the-counter nasal spray and gel used to treat the common cold. Zicam accounted for approximately 70% of Matrixx' revenues. Between 1999 and 2003, Matrixx received several reports from medical researchers indicating that patients using Zicam had developed anosmia, the loss of the sense of smell. Between late 2003 and early 2004, Matrixx made several public statements regarding potential earnings growth and the safety of Zicam. Following a Good Morning America report revealing product liability suits against Matrixx as well as a doctor's discovery or more than a dozen patients who developed anosmia after using Zicam, Matrixx' share price fell sharply and investors filed suit.

iOS 6.0 Untethered Jailbreak
Welcome to Apple's most recent iOS update, a lot has changed from Maps to Siri. The only thing that has not changed is the need for a jailbreak for the new
est iOS. Through the weeks following the iOS 6.0 release people have been avidly waiting for an exploit to be discovered, but at the moment the only exploit that still works are in A4 devices. A4 devices include iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, and the iPod Touch 4G. The exploit in A4 devices has been used to jailbreak different operating systems also, this unpatchable exploit does not exist in the newer Apple devices. A later article will be out, which will include a guide to jailbreak A4 devices, remember that this jailbreak is still tethered meaning when your phone turns off you will need to reboot through the computer/laptop. Other than that many jailbreakers are working on finding an exploit that will allow a jailbreak. This may take a while since a new iOS update is coming up called iOS 6.0.1, which may lead to an exploit being discovered. Thanks for reading, if you have any questions then comment away, and keep informed. TripTronicTech-Simply Everything

Hello guys,
A quick update, last week I traded my NX4 for a DR650. I found this guy on mercadolibre.com (latin american ebay) willing to swap his 2013 DR for my NX4 + some cash. I think it was a good deal, as the DR has 1,600 miles on it and although it has a few scratches it is showroom quality. I couldve gone for a brand new DR but that would've been about 1,200 usd more. So now Im gonna invest that cash in some goodies for the DR.
I already took it on its first trip, from Mexico City to my hometown of Durango (and back) going through Toluca, Morelia, Patzcuaro, Zamora and Guadalajara on the first day and then Teul, Tlaltenango, Jerez, Fresnillo and Durango on the second day. For any of you thinking about visiting Mexico I highly recomend the "libre" road from Atlacomulco to Morelia and also the libre from Guadalajara to Teul.

Now on to your replies and questions:
Thanks for the info, I will look into your website and hopefully I can get some ideas from there, I'll send you a PM once Im in Ecuador.
About crossing the Darien, we want to take the Stahlratte from San Blas to Cartagena, its almost the same price as Girag and its a waaaay more scenic route plus you get to spend a few days sailing the caribbean. Also from Cartagena we might go to Maracaibo in Venezuela just for fun as it is quite close.
I havent done much research on the return trip as I might do it overland but I heard the Santiago-Mexico route can be cheaper as LAN cargo runs a regular service. Hope we can meet up somewhere!
hope you have a great trip! see you on the road!

PUTRAJAYA: The planning for next year's Budget and the formulation of the 10th Malaysia Plan (2011-2015) will give priority to the national Key Result Areas (KRAs) and ministerial KRAs.
In outlining the achievements under Phase 1 of the Government's KPI Initiative, Ministers in the Prime Minister's Department Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon and Datuk Seri Idris Jala said in a joint statement that the first phase of the performance management initiative had been completed.
"The planning, development and alignment phase saw a concerted effort by all concerned over nearly five months," Dr Koh said.
This meant that the initiative would now move into the more intensive and challenging phase of execution and implementation, he said.
He added that the first phase involved the outlining of the six national KRAs and appointment of six lead ministers responsible for implementing them as well as the formulation of KPI targets and implementation plans.
"All 28 ministers have also identified their major ministerial KRAs and sub-national KRAs and ministerial KPIs that will go into full implementation after the first review by the Prime Minister in November and December," Dr Koh said in the statement.
The 38 secretaries-general and directors-general from key agencies had also begun aligning or re-aligning their KPIs with the national and ministerial KPIs and KRAs.
The 500 officers from various ministries and agencies exposed to the basics of the KPI methodology would also be given further training to enable them to act as agents of change in their respective workplaces, he said.
Koh said the Project Management Team (PMT) that had been responsible for formulating the KPI initiative since April would now merge into a new unit under the Prime Minister's Department called the Performance Management and Delivery Unit (Pemandu), led by Idris as CEO. Idris has been involved with PMT since April.
"Driving the performance management through KPIs for all ministers and the entire government is a massive exercise, much more complex and challenging than what I experienced in Shell and MAS," he said.
In the corporate world, such an exercise would take a few cycles spanning two to four years, he said. "But the Cabinet members have made remarkable progress in just five months," he added.
In Butterworth, Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Tan Sri Nor Mohamed Yakcop said the Cabinet had given the Economic Planning Unit the nod to begin preliminary work to seek input from the ground in preparation for the 10th Malaysia Plan.
He would start by obtaining feedback from all state governments so that the plan would reflect the people's aspirations, he said yesterday.

Crying out from a cubbyhole in a male preserve
Among the many career officers who come to the Kirya compound in Tel Aviv, the headquarters of the Israel Defense Forces, it is doubtful anyone else faces the daily trial of Major Belle Felzman to find a chair and a desk so she can work.
The process began years ago but has worsened in recent months, says Felzman, with her commanders sending her to work in a small cubbyhole that was also used as a storeroom and whose old computer there was not connected to any network. Some time later they ordered her to leave that as well and gave her to understand that they would not be sorry if she decided to resign from the IDF. They cannot fire her because a ruling handed down by the High Court of Justice two years ago requires them to place her in a "suitable position."
Felzman, 41, is the mother of three and has been serving in the career army since 1995. She has a B.A. in geography and is completing her M.A. in business management. Despite her rank, her superiors, she claims, relate to her as though she were "a minor secretary." Not a single one of the jobs she has been required to do over recent years is intended for majors and her salary, and therefore, does not include most of the perks received by those who hold this rank. She is also not entitled to the use of a military vehicle.
According to Felzman, the negative attitude derives from the fact that she dared make a sexual harassment complaint against a senior officer and even to petition the High Court of Justice after the IDF ignored the orders of the soldiers' ombudsman in her case. She herself refused to be interviewed for this report, but her story is told in detail in another petition that her lawyers, attorneys Avigdor Feldman and Miri Hart, have filed against the army on her behalf.
The new petition accuses the IDF of having "avoided the implementation" of the previous High Court of Justice ruling that required it to assign the officer to a "suitable position" and also of having put Felzman "though a long series of agonies" full of "slanders, insults and an attitude of demonstrative rejection" in order to "punish her" for having dared to complain against the officer who harassed her.
"The tales of the petitioner and the Israel Defense Forces," wrote Feldman in the petition, "show how an organized body with a male chauvinist worldview can flout a ruling by this honorable court, humiliate the petitioner, 'punish' her for her application to the High Court of Justice and force upon her years of partial activity that is not commensurate with her qualifications."
The fighting feminist spirit in which he has chosen to formulate the petition is especially obvious in the context of Feldman's statements in the Moshe Katsav affair: "This kind of punishment of women who dare to complain against sexual harassment and dare even further to complain to the courts over this matter is not an unknown phenomenon, and it is up to the court to do everything it can to root out this phenomenon."
"There is no contradiction between my position in this case and my position in the Katsav affair," Feldman has told Haaretz. "I am acting in accordance with legal principles and this is not the only case in which I am defending victims of rape or sexual harassment. I am representing Katsav in the criminal sphere, which is an entirely different sphere. The crucial question is whether there is or is not evidence of a crime."
Attorney Hart believes that the issue of sexual harassment is only one of the matters of principle in the affair: "There is another worrying trend that has been growing stronger. The High Court of Justice hands down a ruling and the authorities ignore it."
Felzman's Via Dolorosa began in 2000, when she was serving as a captain in the Technological and Logistics Directorate at the General Command and decided to complain against one of her commanders to Brigadier General Aharon Zeevi-Farkash, who headed the directorate at the time. "Recently," she wrote to the major general after reminding him of the instructions of the chief of staff at that time, Shaul Mofaz (now minister of transportation and road safety) for the fight against sexual harassment, "I have encountered crude and harassing behavior on the part of the head of the maintenance division, Colonel Zacharia Hai, who has ignored and trampled crudely on the chief of staff's orders."
She described what had happened to her a few days earlier at a meeting that Hai ran. "On that occasion," she wrote, "the head of the maintenance division used crude expressions ('fuck') toward me, used indecent hand gestures several times, made threats ('If you were a man I'd get up now and beat you up') and employed cheap language while shouting... When I complained that my head ached, he said in response: 'I hope that I haven't spoiled anything for your husband this evening.'"
Felzman concluded her letter to the major general with a request that he "preserve and demand my dignity."
The investigation of the incident in accordance with Zeevi-Farkash's orders ended with the conclusion that "it is not possible to determine conclusively ... as to the justice of one side or the other in the incident" and with the statement that "in light of this the head of the Technological and Logistics Directorate sees the matter as closed." Zeevi-Farkash expressed the hope "that both sides will help toward turning over a new leaf in the relationship to continue to carry out all tasks."
A new leaf was indeed turned. Less than two months later Felzman was informed of the decision not to appoint her to a position earmarked for her (head of a department in the means division of the Technological and Logistics Directorate) and to grant her the rank of major that it required. During the following year, she was further told, she would be able to compete for other vacant positions but if she were not found suitable for any of them, she would be discharged from the army. Not long after that she received some additional news: Colonel Hai had been promoted to the rank of brigadier general and appointed chief ordinance officer; the manning of most of the vacant positions, as well as of the position that had just been taken from her, was subject to his approval (Hai retired from the IDF in 2003).
She filed a complaint with the army ombudsman about "the direct connection" between her non-appointment to the position and the threat to dismiss her from the army and her complaint against Hai.
The conclusions of the ombudsman's investigation was not unambiguous: He stated that "no concrete support" was found for the existence of such a connection but he ordered the army to honor its promise to promote Felzman to the rank of major and recommended appointing her "to a position commensurate with her qualifications."
The army ignored the ombudsman's instructions and recommendations. Felzman was summoned to an interview with the head of the personnel department at the Technological and Logistics Directorate, who informed her, according to what is stated in the summary of the interview that she appended to her petition, that "the chances of finding a position that is suitable for her are slight," because "no element in the army is interested in taking her under its command." In another interview, with the head of the maintenance department in the Ordinance Corps she heard even more explicit things: In the summary of the interview it is stated that "there is no chance of fitting her into any position at all."
In 2001 Felzman decided to petition the High Court of Justice. In an order issued when the petition was filed, the court ordered the army not to discharge Felzman before the deliberations on her petition were completed. This order, which forced the officer on the army, made the relations between them even worse.
The deliberations on the petition lasted for no less than four years, during the course of which the army avoided promoting her to the rank of major and appointing her to meaningful positions. Its representatives argued in court that there is no connection between the complaint she filed against Hai and her non-advancement, defined her as a "mediocre officer" who had been disqualified from being appointed "to no less than three positions" and stated that she had filed her complaint against her commander, "which had nothing to do with sexual harassment precisely because she knew about "the dissatisfaction that her functioning was arousing among her commanders."
The High Court of Justice ruling in October, 2005, written by Justice Ayala Procaccia, refuted these claims, one by one. It unambiguously recognized the connection between the complaint and her non-advancement ("The petitioner's complaint and her uncompromising determination contributed significantly the army's decision not to promote her in rank and position and to discharge her from the IDF"), criticized the army for having ignored the ombudsman's recommendations ("It is hard to avoid the sense that a real attempt was not made ... to integrate the petitioner into the ranks of the army. Instead of so doing, the army took measures in order to fulfill its obligation pro forma from a hostile attitude toward the petitioner while emphasizing her negative aspects and sought weak points to distance her") and ordered it to promote her to the rank of major and assign her to a position "commensurate with her qualifications."
In the new petition filed two years after this ruling, the officer is claiming that the IDF "has not implemented the ruling." Although IDF has indeed promoted her to the rank of major, until now it has not found even a single position intended for majors that would be "commensurate with her qualifications."
According to the petition, during the first year after the ruling Felzman was required to wait for the next round of assignments and to continue serving in the temporary position, which is suitable for people who hold the rank of captain, to which she had been assigned in compliance with the High Court order. After that she was asked to list four assignments for majors for which she would like to compete but she was called in for interviews for only two of them. Later, and even before she received an answer about them, she received notification that the round of assignments had been completed, and therefore she would have to wait for another half a year until the next round.
When this round was approaching, she was summoned for an interview with a brigadier general in the Logistics Directorate, who informed her that she could not be appointed to a department head (as is customary for majors in the directorate) and that it had been decided to appoint her to a new position for dealing with "implementation and instilling the lessons of the Second Lebanon War in the wake of investigations carried out in the areas of logistics."
Since this position "requires immediate manning," she was told she would not be able to compete for the position of department head in the next round of assignments. However, since the position that had to do with lessons of the war is by its nature a "temporary position," she could compete for permanent majors' appointments while filling that position.
This did not happen. During the last few months, Felzman has been handling "implementation and instilling of lessons from the [Second] Lebanon War," first in the cubby that also served as a storeroom and then without any office at all. She has not been able to compete for any other assignment.
However, this was not the end of the officer's woes: Ten days after she had submitted her second petition to the High Court, she was informed that it was her commanders' intention to court martial her for "disobeying an order." Felzman, say her commanders, refused to obey an order to clear out of the storeroom in which she had been working. In the meantime Feldman's intervention has led to the suspension but not yet to the cancellation of this legal proceeding.
The response from the IDF Spokesman: "The claims put forth by the officer in her petition to the High Court of Justice have no substance. The IDF has been dealing with this matter now for some time and its detailed reply to the officer's claims will be given to the court at the time appointed for this."

As more and more organizations are moving towards the private cloud, you may be wondering what you can do to give your apps the best chance of running most efficiently. You are possibly working to create your private cloud. Perhaps, you have it already deployed and configured. Now, you want to help ensure that the Apps running on your cloud are getting the resources they need, when they need them.
With the private cloud, many of the apps running are probably going to have dynamic resource needs (very active at certain times of the day/week/month) and variable activity most of the time. With this, you want your Private Cloud Infrastructure to be able to accommodate these changes in resources by allocating the applications across all of your Infrastructure Components as necessary to handle the load.
With System Center 2012, we have introduced Dynamic Optimization which will allow an administrator to specify thresholds on how loaded or out of balance your individual boxes will get before we rebalance the workloads. With Virtual Machine Manager, a component of System Center 2012, you can set thresholds, frequency, and aggressiveness in how we handle dynamically optimizing workloads within a host group. Dynamic Optimization is set at the host group level, and will be considered for clusters of either Microsoft Hyper-V, VMware ESX(i), and Citrix XenServer Hypervisors.
Thresholds specify the values in percentages or distinct units to initiate an optimization event. On every frequency interval, we will check if the remaining resources for a host in a cluster have fallen below the threshold. If so, then an optimization will occur. When monitoring whether we have surpassed the Dynamic Optimization threshold, we look at a conservative average of the last 10 minutes, which is basically the average of the top 40% of the last ten, 1-minute averages. At this point, we will determine if the threshold has been surpassed, and if it has, will perform the optimizations which will best reallocate the workload within the cluster.
The frequency value specifies how often we will perform automatic dynamic optimizations. You will want to base this value on how out of balance your machines are with how often you are migrating VMs between nodes on your cluster. We default to 10 minutes, but you can drop it down or increase it depending on your needs.
The value of aggressiveness determines how many VMs will be migrated and where they will be migrated to when an optimization event occurs. When Aggressiveness is set to Medium, Medium-High, or High, we will migrate VMs around if doing so provides a benefit to the hosts (even if the systems are not loaded over the threshold). As long as there is an overall benefit to the cluster, this will happen. Now, the higher the Aggressiveness setting, the more we will migrate VMs around to find the correct balance, and we do this with "Star" ratings. Star ratings are values determined by Intelligent Placement that take into account how many resources are available on a system as well as what the system is doing, and some other things. If we can get a 0.2 improvement in the Star ratings when Aggressiveness is set to High, 0.4 for Medium-High, and 0.6 for Medium, we will migrate VMs around.
As you can see, we try to give the services and VMs you have deployed the best chance at running well by doing our best to keep the resource loads balanced within the clusters. This will also help handle those dynamically changing resource needs due to known and unforeseen changes in demand. Once you have set this piece up, you should look at Power Optimization for those times when you don't need all of your servers powered on. Then, when you are ready, check out the reporting capabilities that will not only allow you to see how the resources are being used, now, but trend their usage over time, and help to predict the needs of the future.

Post got lost... Here it is. Again:
Why does this only work with clusters? Live migration is possible without clusters after all.
So if the aggressiveness values range from 0.2-0.6 for high to medium is it fair to assume medium-low would have a value of 0.8 and low would have a 1 star requirement?
Q: Why does this only work with clusters? Live migration is possible without clusters after all.
A: Though there are some reasons why you may want to Live Migrate between machines that are not necessarily within the same cluster, Dynamic Optimization was designed to Optimize at the cluster level because we allow multiple different Hypervisors and clusters to be within a Host Group and clusters gives us the logical grouping we need.
Q: So if the aggressiveness values range from 0.2-0.6 for high to medium is it fair to assume medium-low would have a value of 0.8 and low would have a 1 star requirement?
A: That is correct that medium-low is 0.8, and low is 1 star, but in the medium-low and low cases, we will only Optimize if you surpass a threshold, not just to balance the load.
Can you do, for example, power minimization with dynamic optimization or does it only do load balancing?
