Exceptional Gem Condition Longacre-Designed Seated Liberty Half Dollar, Judd-11091871 50C Half Dollar, Judd-1109, Pollock-1245, R.7, PR65 Red and Brown PCGS. The obverse has Longacre's slightly modified second design for the Seated Liberty motif with thirteen stars on the flag. The central device of Liberty is set in the field without the often-seen stars around the rim. The reverse is from the regular issue fifty cent dies. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. Although designed by Longacre, this die pairing was apparently implemented by William Barber as Longacre died in 1869. Sold in 1871 as part of complete sets from the half dime to the silver dollar. This is a lovely Gem example that has deeply reflective fields. The original red luster has mellowed slightly with portions of each side showing brown and blue patina. (#71368) (PCGS# 71368)

London weather: Highest UK July temperature EVER recorded at Heathrow as capital swelters
The mercury has hit 36.7C at Heathrow to make today the hottest July day on record, according to the Met Office.

The "British Schindler" Sir Nicholas Winton, who organised and carried out the rescue of hundreds of Jewish children from the Holocaust, has died at the age of 106, his family said.
Claims that controversial adverts which asked commuters "Are you beach body ready?" were offensive and shamed women have been dismissed by the watchdog.
Ancient Greeks may have come up with the words democracy and crisis but they also came up with philanthropy, coined by the playwright Aeschylus. So has the plethora of today's shipping magnates remembered their duties to their homeland?
Will the new Nigella Lawson please stand up? Earlier this year Miriam González Durántez revealed that she had a secret: she and her children had been running food blog Mum and Sons for several years — but is she about to turn it into a book?
Everybody needs good neighbours, especially in Fitzrovia. But last year a feud began to bubble up between two locals, writer Bonnie Greer and comedian Griff Rhys Jones.
"London is the dark star of the economy, inexorably sucking in resources, people and energy," observed the LSE's Professor Tony Travers in 2014. "Nobody knows how to control it." But with both MPs and peers in Parliament and the Queen in Buckingham Palace facing the possibility of decamping while renovations are made to their historic homes, is it now the time for power to shift in the UK?
"Avada kedavra", as Lord Voldemort might say. Watermark Books, a bookstore with a hefty children's section, has graced the concourse of King's Cross station for three years but is being forced to close, rumour has it, so that Harry Potter can take over. Not so much the books but the merchandising arm of the series, Platform 9¾, which sells fridge magnets, toy wands and Harry Potter specs, which wants to expand.
Last week Howard Morgan, the portrait artist who has painted everyone from the Queen down, marked the anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo in oils. He unveiled a sweeping canvas of the battle, commissioned by Arthur Wellesley, son of the current Duke of Wellington. But he has a much less likely connection to the family.
The Battle of Waterloo isn't over. Two of our leading historians, Sir Richard Evans and Andrew Roberts, are locked in combat over who actually could claim victory. Last week Sir Richard, former Regius Professor of History at Cambridge and renowned expert in German history, told a captive audience at the Museum of London that "it was not the Duke of Wellington who won but the Prussians, led by Field Marshal Blücher", and that Waterloo's "reputation as a history-changing event owes a great deal to his [Wellington's] manipulation of its memory."
When photographs were released of Prince George, with his silky blond hair, holding sister Princess Charlotte and then on the Buckingham Palace balcony in his romper suit, a collective coo was heard around the world. But one thing has become commented on in style circles of this dapper young toddler prince: his side parting.
If there's anything to put a dampener on Glastonbury, it might be a politico calling it the "model for radical policy reform". And who would dare co-opt the mud and music fest for ideology? Steve Hilton, of course.
Tite Street is the hallowed avenue in Chelsea which, in fin-de-siècle London, was the Hoxton of its day. Oscar Wilde (and the judge who conde mned him), John Singer Sargent and James McNeill Whistler all lived within a few doors of each other. However the diggers are about to move in, to the disgruntlement of well-heeled neighbours.
On Saturday the Financial Times published an interview with Daily Express & Daily Star owner Richard Desmond, who was taken for lunch at Coq d'Argent by the FT's media correspondent, Henry Mance. A particularly delightful part of the piece described Desmond casually ordering a bottle of £580 Château Palmer to wash down the meal. Poor Mance was then left to foot the bill, which came to a grand total of £758.81.
On Wednesday morning, as University College London honorary professor Sir Tim Hunt's was flying back from South Korea, where he had made his ill-advised joke about female scientists, his wife, Mary Collins, also a professor at the college, was called by UCL. She was informed "by a senior that Tim had to resign immediately or be sacked". Who was this senior? No one from UCL has put their head above the parapet.

Now The Londoner hears Ed Balls is following suit and booking himself in for a long-haul flight to Boston. The former shadow chancellor, ousted from his Morley and Outwood seat last month, is heading to Harvard.
Why did Boris Johnson, staunch defender of the black cab trade, soften his line on Uber at the London Assembly last month? Previously he'd criticised the "excessively bumptious" US private hire firm that, with its technology, was destroying the good old black cab. But then last month Boris said the "free market" and "consumer choice" meant cab drivers would have to accept the rise of Uber./p>
There's a political revolution afoot. Russell Brand isn't involved this time, though. Instead, a formidable force is quietly and calmly gathering momentum, ready to launch not just on the national platform but, if its co-founder has her way, the world stage.
The Londoner's wedding hat was raised to Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit author Jeanette Winterson and psychotherapist Susie Orbach. It's been a long time coming but the pair have finally tied the knot in a charming ceremony over the weekend.

Hi all,
The other day a customer of mine was trying to sign a binary with SignTool.exe using the following command line on Windows Server 2008 SP2:
Signtool.exe sign /a /f "c:\mycert.pfx" /p "password" /t "http://timestamp.verisign.com/scripts/timstamp.dll" "c:\temp\myFile.exe"
And SignTool failed with the following error:
SignTool Error: ISignedCode::Sign returned error: 0x80092006 No provider was specified for the store or object.
He got the same error on Windows Vista. Now, the same command worked just fine on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. He had the latest Windows SDK installed.
I debugged the issue and saw that on Windows Vista/ Server 2008 RTM/SP1/SP2, SignTool failed because the SignerSignEx API that it calls behind the scenes failed with the same error 80092006:
Now, the API returned that error because it got this other error internally:
0x80090014 Invalid provider type specified
And it got this internal error because when trying to acquire the crypto provider with CryptAcquireCertificatePrivateKey API, it didn't use CRYPT_ACQUIRE_ALLOW_NCRYPT_KEY_FLAG, and the provider associated to customer's certificate was a CNG provider ("Microsoft Software Key Storage Provider" in this case).
I also verified that SignerSignEx API ends up calling CryptAcquireCertificatePrivateKey with CRYPT_ACQUIRE_ALLOW_NCRYPT_KEY_FLAG on Windows 7/Server 2008 R2 RTM/SP1, so it should work with CNG certificates in those environments.
So summing up, we are facing a limitation on Vista/Server 2008 that won't allow us to use CNG certificates with SignerSignEx API or the APIs, COM objects and tools (e.g. SignTool.exe) that end up calling SignerSignEx behind the scenes.
Here I posted the ways to sign binaries that we support, and all of them end up in a call to SignerSignEx, so they are all affected by this limitation: How to sign EXE files with an Authenticode certificate (part 2)
I hope this helps.

Hello Rosen,
Even if the error number is the same, the issue I mention in this post is different than the issue mentioned in stackoverflow. The cause is different.
Did Microsoft release a fix for this bug? I'm attempting to use SignerSign functionality to sign our assemblies from an automated build on Windows 2008 R2 and I'm getting the 0x80092006 exception. Note: I can sign the assemblies on the server with signtool.exe

MELBOURNE, Australia -- Andrew Bogut says his new NBA team, the Golden State Warriors, will likely rest him for the rest of the season so he can recover from a broken left ankle.
And the former No. 1 draft pick says he still holds out faint hopes of playing for Australia at the London Olympics.
Bogut broke his ankle in a game against the Houston Rockets on Jan. 25. Scans over the next three weeks will determine whether the 27-year-old center can play this season for the Warriors, the team he was traded to this week from the Milwaukee Bucks.
Bogut told Australian Associated Press that regardless of the scan results, "the last thing they'll [the Warriors] want to do is rush me back to play in a couple of games."
"I've got to have scans at the eight-week point after I broke my ankle," Bogut said. "If the scan says we want you in the [moon] boot for another three or four weeks or they don't want me resuming too quick, it will come down to missing the season."
The broken ankle is just one of several major injuries that have plagued Bogut throughout his career. Bogut, who was the No. 1 draft pick in 2005, missed the end of the 2009-10 season when he dislocated his right elbow, sprained his right wrist and broke his right hand in a hard fall to the floor. The injury bothered him for much of last season.
Bogut also missed significant time with an injured lower back in the 2008-09 season.
Bogut said if he's healthy, he might consider playing for Australia at the London Olympics in July.
"It's a tough question to answer right now," he said. "To be honest, I haven't given it a whole lot of thought.
"Without talking myself up, I think I'm as professional as they come. I have my own workout and training facility in Melbourne, I'd be rehabbing and training like I would for any other event, and we have enough lead-up games to the Olympics to get ourselves ready."
Bogut completed medical checks with the Warriors on Thursday, and met his new teammates and key club officials. He was scheduled to be presented to Warriors fans at the team's game on Friday in Oakland, California -- against his old club Milwaukee.
He said he had experienced mixed emotions since finding out about the trade which sent him and Stephen Jackson to the Warriors for Monta Ellis, Ekpe Udoh and Kwame Brown.
"When I first heard the news I was excited," Bogut said. "It's a franchise on the way up, a new city to live in, it's only one flight from Australia rather than two.
"Then the next day when I started packing, I was sad because the Milwaukee Bucks are all I know in the NBA. Saying goodbye to the city where I spent my whole career, to the fans, it was tough. But at the same time, I'm excited about the journey that lies ahead."

4 days of PNW wandering: Hood River or bust!

Ok, onward with the quest!
After a Sunday morning filled with OSR SL350 awesomeness, I was on my way to my next stop, my Aunt's home in beautiful Yamhill county! If there's one thing I've learned about living in the PNW all of my life, it's that traveling down 101, and _not_ stopping at the Tillamook Cheese Factory is next to impossible!
So of course,I did, and man it was packed with not a parking spot to be found! I ran across a vacant flower bed and hopped the XT up onto it, went in, and was immediately confronted with something that I just couldn't walk away from:
Just like stopping to look at Harley XR750s on the side of the road, of course I was gonna get my picture taken in half a Vdub micro bus with full riding gear inside of a cheese factory... completely unavoidable.
Waiting 20 minutes in line for the aforementioned waffle cone of heaven was totally worth it, and filled with ice cream, I was ready to hit the road. I cruised down 101, the XT humming away content beneath me at 60mph with light rain drops peppering my goggles. I remedied my previous navigation problems at a service station and continued on down the line, turning to go east on HWY 130:
Then all of a sudden, after another hour of riding, something happened! The wet, coastal region of Oregon I know and love turned into something that reminded me a little bit of The Flint Hills in Kansas... Is that wheat? Hot damm!
HWY 130 turned into 22, and then into 18, and soon thereafter, I got distracted by gravel and decided to go as the crow flies for the last 15 miles or so to Amity:
I can't explain why, but I've always felt a connection with open spaces and especially farm land... Most of my family still lives in SE Kansas and NE South Dakota and I was fortunate to get to spend a lot of summers spending time with them as a kid. My first motorcycle ride at 8 years old was sitting in front of my cousin on a Honda XL185 chasing his cattle in a pasture in Day County, so being out here just seemed right...
I made it to my Aunt's in the early afternoon. It had been at least two years since I'd visited, which was much too long, and it was great to see her again!
I wish I had taken some photos, but she had some friends over for dinner and made the best Jamacian jerked chicken with fresh from the garden tomatos and a whole bunch of other really good stuff! I had a great time that night sitting around the living room catching up with my aunt and friends and having more then a few glasses of red wine, it was great!
Now, don't hear me wrong, I like an Imperial Stout, Porter or growler full of Irish Death just as much as the next guy, but that was some good wine!
I was planning to camp the whole trip, especially since I could pitch the 'ol half dome down by the creek on my aunt's land, but just as quick as the words were uttered out of my mouth, she said "Yeah right, sleep down in the guest room!" One look at that temperpedic mattress and my eyes glazed over and there was no further discussion
I conked out and must have been asleep for about 13 hours or so, and was waken up the next morning by the unmistakeable smell of hillbilly bacon frying and homemade "blueberry buckle" coming out of the oven... Again no, photos, but trust me, it was just as good as it sounds!
I love my Aunt!
After saying goodbyes, my (awesome!) Aunt sent me home with a bottle of her homemade BBQ sauce, and pointed me to the scenic route out of Yamhill... aka: the Wheatland Ferry!
I was a little concerned by the weight limits though... would the XT be acceptable? If I couldn't ride the ferry, would I be able to get the XT going fast enough to ride a wheelie across the river? Could I fill the Wolfman's with air and float the XT across? All good questions!!!
On the way down to the ferry landing, I saw this awesome 1970 Ford Econoline for sale and immediatly thought of Hayduke's "Vans!" thread!
A lot of fun roadtrips were had when I was a kid in our yellow and brown '79 Ford E250 Club Wagon, so this older brother of the family truckster definitely brought back some good memories... Contrary to popular belief, a mini van is far from ideal for a family road trip. What is ideal is a big ass 3/4 ton van with three bench seats: one for each of us kids to sleep on, and subsequently one for each of us to get knocked off of during panic stops!
Times were different and even in the first part of the '90s, songs like this still blared out of the 8-Track with a cassette adapter and the fact that the strait-six only got 10mpg with a strong tailwind didn't really matter, because gas was 89 cents a gallon
Almost there...
Luckily, the ferry crew took the risk of letting me aboard and I happily payed my buck to ride the ferry:
Even though it's a quick trip, it's still a ton of fun, and we shoved off:
The Willamette was looking beautiful as always:
...and then I found myself distracted by trying to figure out the fine details of how exactly the cable-operated ferry worked. How many amps and volts did it take to power those motors? What kind of force was being applied to one side of the hull at all times while on the river? How many trips does this ferry cross the river in a year?
As you can tell, I have no problem keeping myself entertained...
Right off the boat, I came across some hop fields and my mind immeddiately went back to beer. Mmm... beer...
Never one to let busy roads get in the way of fun, I took the backroads headed east and was greeted with more beautiful countryside with each passing mile:
A cool Oak tree at a 4-way:
...and the great Mount in the distance:
The XT was running like a champ and doing everything I asked of it... It was at about this point that while starting from a stop after taking a picture, I realized it's real easy to pull a sweet wheelie with lots of stuff on the back!
That's all for tonight. Next installment: Spending a night at a secret government compound, cold cervezas with a buddy and all sorts of kick-ass stuff. Stay tuned!

As of Thursday, June 14, 2012
© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
PEACHTREE CORNERS -- Just over two weeks away from official cityhood, the initial proposed budget for Peachtree Corners' first year was made public and discussed at a Thursday meeting.
The city's proposed budget for the fiscal year 2013 (July 1 through June 30, 2013) came in at just over $2.72 million, assuming the eventual collection of roughly $1.76 million in property taxes, $500,000 in franchise fees and a $500,000 "tax anticipation note," which is essentially a loan to serve as start-up funds for the city.
Expenses -- dubbed "conservative" by a pair of consultants aiding in the city's start -- including categories of city council, city manager, general operations, finance, legal services, facilities, city clerk, contingency and community development.
It also included a $200,000 contribution to a fund balance and the eventual repayment of the tax anticipation note.
Specific expenditures primarily included salaries, an estimated $125,000 to lease a "city hall" -- office space for which was approved by the council Thursday -- and legal services.
A proposed $100,000 was set aside for a call center for the city, which created a long discussion by the council.
John McDonough -- Sandy Springs' city manager and one of the aforementioned consultants -- said there was no reason that the budget, even after adoption, couldn't be tweaked as the city proceeded through its first fiscal year. He suggested a mid-year review.
"You'll know a lot more six months from now than you'll know sitting here tonight," McDonough said.
A public forum on the city's first budget will be held at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday. The budget is scheduled to be formally adopted during a meeting on Tuesday, June 26.
Other news from Thursday's meeting:-- The lease for a more permanent location for city hall was approved by the council. The office space will be leased through Ken Shumard and 45 Techpark LLC, McDonough said.
-- John Kachmar, Johns Creek's city manager and another consultant for the city, said 63 resumes have been received to fill Peachtree Corners' position for a permanent city manager. Five have made the cut for further consideration, Kachmar said.
No firm deadline has been set for selection, but Kachmar said the next step would happen "hopefully by the end of the month."

Wow! For a city, that is only having 3 services, of which 2 are being outsourced, doesn't this sound like a lot of money? The residents of PC, were told that the cost to run the city, based on the 3 limited services would be around 780k? What happened?

They can't, I understand they are bound for 2 years. The territory they lost was only 9 homes from what I was told.

Why are they bound? By choice or to prevent retaliation during FUTURE SDS negotiations?
The Charter specifically provided for trash program freedom of choice on DAY ONE. Actually they lost a fair amount of Businesses from their digest.

The Gluttonous Heathens can never be satisfied; their greed is boundless. I sometimes wonder that at a 100% level of tax/confiscation/theft/corruption, what would they do at that point? If you can only take 100%, then what is next?
At any rate, the fair citizens of Peachtree Corners had best get used to having fewer dollars in their pockets. This was yet another example of voting to tax yourself--foolish in this instance and foolish in any other.

Findings for PPC in Irving
Irving Ranks Amongst Least Expensive Markets for Google Adwords in USA
SEP's ongoing research into PPC Campaigns has revealed that Irving was the 147th least expensive city in USA in keyword bids in Google Adwords for the month of April 2015. Irving also ranks amongst the least expensive cities in Texas, ranking as number 21st. In the study, San Buenaventura ranked as the most expensive city in the country, while Manchester ranked as the least expensive city.
Month over Month Google Adwords Prices for Irving Rise in April 2015
SEP's research shows that the average price of a click to advertisers targeting Irving keywords increased by 12% in April 2015.
Google Adwords Keyword Prices 4% Lower in Irving than Grand Prairie
SEP's research also tracks Google Adwords price changes and trends in cities across Canada and the U.S. Recent data shows that average prices in Irving are 4% lower than in Grand Prairie. The average price of a click in Irving is $11.45.
This price difference is interesting though, given the population of Grand Prairie is less than Irving.
To get a better sense of relative prices, we also compared prices with another similarly sized city, Baton Rouge, and found the average price of a click in Irving was 43% lower than in Baton Rouge.
The Price Rank shows how expensive keywords are in certain industry and segment relative to other cities in a country, region and province.

After a slow start to the season, the Wisconsin Badgers (7-3, 4-2) have won four out of their last five games heading into this showdown against undefeated Ohio State. Although the Buckeyes are ineligible for postseason, they are motivated by first year head coach Urban Meyer, who knows the future is bright. This is a battle between Wisconsin's brute strength and Ohio State's speed. The question is who will come out on top? Here are three bold predictions.1. Montee Ball will go off.Even though Montee Ball might not be playing at the same level he was playing at during last season's record-setting season, Ball is still a workhorse. He ranks 11th in the country in rushing yards and has been playing best as of late, rushing for 13 touchdowns in the last six games. Ball will be facing Ohio State's rush defense that ranks 16th nationally. I believe this defense can't maintain the level of play that they are playing at right now, eventually cracking. Unfortunately for the Buckeyes...

True Stealth
I believe it's about time we see a MMO with "next generation" stealth.
In a MMO, there is no way you could do stealth like Splinter Cell or Riddick... you simply can't have that level of lighting technology in a MMO at this point. At least, from what I understand, it is way to intensive of an operation for the engine/lighting system to work in a MMO environment.
But you CAN control the distance at which the game client renders near by objects into a player view. In many/most MMOs, controlling the distance at which the game client renders near by objects is a graphical option.. used to give better performance or visual quality.
But what if it could be used to create a realistic stealth system for a MMO? How?
Let me explain my idea.
Make a stealth system where your character's skill/level of stealthiness determines the distance at which the game client renders that player to others. Make this affected by the day/night cycle (distance is much shorter at night and much longer during the day)
Make it so moving increases the range in which you are rendered to others, the faster you are moving the more likely to be detected.
Make it so if you are in the frontal 180 degree arc of another player the rendering distance goes up, and of course if you are in the rear 180 degree arc of another player the rendering distance drops off very sharply.
If the stealther has already been targetting/spotted, you have no magical vanishing back into thin air.
Make a "Vanish" ability work realistically. You throw a small bit of flash powder at the ground, blinding your opponents to your presence for a few seconds. I.E. 2-3 seconds where no one can see you, where no nearby player's game client renders your character as part of the scene... after that time is up, you reappear... just enough time to start running away, maybe dash around a corner, jump off a ledge.. etc. but NOT disappear completely.
True stealth.
Give stealth characters the ability to "gather" material from their environment to construct a camo suit (much like real life snipers do, but I can't remember what they call it) Make this camo suit effect the distance at which the game client renders them to others. If the player moves while in the suit, this as an effect on their render distance as well. If they stay low and move slowly, their chance to be detected is much lower.
True camouflage.
This way, a stealthy player can hide and lie in waiting much easier, and would also be very useful for scouting.. but sneaking up and ambushing another player/NPC would be difficult to do and require a great deal of skill and luck on the part of the player.
No magic stealth. Realistic stealth.
Like the camouflage system, a player who dresses in very dark clothing at night has a lower chance of being detected....
You have to think outside the box a bit.
I'm not talking about turning invisible. You'd NEVER turn invisable to the naked eye. It's just that through a combination of these factors, the distance at which the other player's game client rendered your character on their screen would change. From far away to not at all.
For NPC's and mob's it'd be much easier. Instead of changing the rendering distance, it changes the aggro distance.
If you are running full speed wearing shiny silver plate mail directly at an NPC in broad daylight and the NPC is looking directly at you, the aggro distance will be very, very large.
If you are slowly crawling along the grass wearing a camo suit made of leaves and grass and trees from local vegatation and doing so approaching the NPC/mob from behind at night time... the aggro distance will be so small they won't aggro you until your blade is already in them.
What do you think?
1. Is it possible to control rendering / aggro distance in that way?
2. If it IS possible, would you like to see a stealth system like this?
Ghillie Suit!
Thank you.
I don't think it'd be a pain in the butt.
Creating the Ghillie Suit could be a single button click. Have a little cast bar go across "Gathering" for 10-20 seconds. Boom. You have a Ghillie Suit with X number of uses. The devs would have to program one suit per zone/area. Not TOO much work or too unimaginable.
Sneaking up on NPC's would only not be a pain in the butt if they actually had realistic pathing. Not simply the "Walk forward 10 yards, turn 45 degrees, walk forward 10 yards" craptastic pathing we see today.
This would be a lot more work for the devs, obviously. Stationary mobs/NPCs would make sense if it was done in a believable way. Bandits sitting around a campfire, for instance.
Stalking players and sneaking up on them would actually be a lot easier then you think. Players ALWAYS try to run the shortest distance between point A and B. Either that, or they stick to the "safe" paths the game world provides. It wouldn't be too hard to create your Ghillie suit, find a well traveled path, and hide yourself in a bush.
Then when some body comes along, jump out and ambush them. NPC's may be able to react and aggro you nearly instantly, most humans can't.
Could you follow someone? Yes. Dart from tree to tree. Rock to rock when they are not looking... waiting for the perfect time to strike... Remember that your character's skill/level in Stealth would of course be a factor.
The slightly more clumsy lower level/skilled Assassin/Rogue might snap a twig or not get fully behind cover, alerting you (and your game engine's decision to render that player character)
I think it'd work...
The element of surprise is a VERY powerful tactic. It's shouldn't be too easy.
At the same time, even someone without the skill/levels etc. in stealth could use this system to their advantage. I may be wearing big shiny plate mail, but I should be able to hide behind a huge tree or rock and get the jump on someone.Thu Jan 24 2008 3:35PM Report
Erm...why not do something like lay down zones where light is? Instead of using real time lighting you just map out trigger zones that when lights are on it affects your visibility. Hell even DDO has that...
You can use that in a real time fashion, making it so you have a visibility level dependent on how well what toy wear matches into nearby things as well as how covered and silent you are.
I'm more for a game where people don't outright disappear ever. Dropping the render distance kind of seems odd because you would have to be dropping the other information as well as the rendered image if it were to act like a stealth and people don't detect you, and with that ya might as well be invisible.
I'm thinking more that if the system is made to it can sample it's environment every so often as well as check npc FOV and hearing in comparison to your location and movements, it should more depend on how well you can stay silent as you creep up on people. The light/dark effects from the trigger zones tied to lights would alter your visibility, but like everything else won't outright signal your approach and depending on your camo, might help.Thu Jan 24 2008 5:41PM Report

I have to disagree. If you are not rendering the avatar, you have already strayed into "magical" stealth territory, no matter how next-gen you think your ideas are.
If you want realistic hiding, hide behind a tree or in a shadow. If you want realistic camouflage, wear green/gray/brown armor. If you want flash powder, fine, fill my client with blinding smoke and sparks.
(And for the record, I think you are underestimating what can be done with lighting in an MMO.)
But there is absolutely nothing realistic about not rendering the avatar. You can't choose not to render yourself in real life, can you?Thu Jan 24 2008 6:48PM Report
And actualy have quest and missions where it would actualy be required or at least be very strategic to the mission.Thu Jan 24 2008 7:51PM Report
What a lot of people seem to forget is that a lot of realism we would like to have stealth be viable, would also be very easy to abuse on the client side. Such as adjusting your gamma so that you essentially have full-bright. Or simply having an archaic computer can throw realistic balancing out the window, because what techniques you would use to hide a player would simply not be possible on such a machine.
This is where Heerobya's idea comes into play, because MMOs are supposed are supposed to reflect a D&D type of system, removing a player from your characters vision is much more effective. As it reflects the skills of the players and all other factors, while allowing the person on the low end machine to have the same gameplay expierence as the one on the high end machine.Fri Jan 25 2008 1:05AM Report
Tabula Rasa sort of has the glimmerings of this system, at least in PvE.
Snipers/Spies get "Stealth" armour that reduces the distance from which NPC enemies can see/attack them. Higher skill in the armour increases it to the level whereby you can safely get around 25 metres from an NPC's view (assumed to be around 180 degrees frontal) or sneak right up to melee range from behind.
In PvP, stealth armour prevents you from appearing on the enemy player's minimap, however he can still "see" and attack you up to the maximum draw distance (60m+). I'd love for it to have the same effect in PvP as it does in PvE (invisibility scaled on skill to a maximum of 25m distance).Tue Feb 12 2008 4:37AM Report

Keep vigilant watch on the sky or don't
CORPUS CHRISTI - Two weeks ago Paul Krugman, Nobel laureate economist, said that if the Earth experienced an alien invasion we would all pull together as in World War II and take the right financial steps to counter the threat, thereby saving ourselves and rescuing us from our financial problems. (Overlooking, of course, the distinct possibility of our losing to an enemy even more inhuman than the Nazis.)
And reminiscent of the 1950s "space brothers know best" movies, just last week some NASA scientists postulated that space aliens might come and exterminate the human race as "cosmic cockroaches" unless we took action against global warming. (Advanced aliens concerned about Earth's melting ice caps might seem like a comedown, but who can tell with aliens?)
Looking to the skies
In times of trouble, human beings often turn to the sky for salvation. For ancient and medieval mankind, this usually meant prayers to God or gods. In the 20th century, it often took the form of imaginative appeals for intervention by alien beings, creatures from other worlds who would come help us solve our problems, warn us against our transgressions, or even punish us for our potential sins. It seems now that in the 21st century, modern society is falling back into a similar mindset, with mainstream experts and scientists warning us of alien invasions.
On the verge of World War II, as the Nazis and Imperial Japanese ravaged their neighborhoods on Planet Earth, uncertainties and fears gave rise to an interest in nonhuman aliens, most notably the controversial Orson Welles radio show, "War of the Worlds" on Halloween 1939, which thousands of listeners took to be a report of an actual invasion by Martians.
This turbulent and uncertain era culminated in the 1952 movie "The Day the Earth Stood Still," which featured a galactic invader who came to warn us against atomic warfare, lest his benevolent advanced race choose to exterminate us all.
The more things change ...
It is fascinating now that in the year 2011, we seem to be responding in the same way our grandparents did in the 1930s: Modern concerns of war, revolution, recession, global financial meltdown, unemployment and uncertainty about the future have generated a similar desire for help from the skies. Mainstream commentators, economists, entertainers and other experts have fallen back on the intervention of space aliens as a way out of earthly problems we have generated ourselves.
Popular television shows such as the History Channel's "Ancient Aliens" propose that our civilization was guided by benevolent aliens sharing otherworldly technology in the past. Other fictional TV series such as "Falling Skies" and "The Event" and the hit movie "Cowboys and Aliens" show nastier sides of possible space aliens and their nonhuman agendas.
Even the staid National Geographic Channel presented the threatening "Alien Invasion: Are We Ready?" featuring science fiction authors, some who are colleagues of mine in SIGMA, the science fiction think tank I co-founded while working in the White House Science Office in 1992.
SIGMA comprises 40 science fiction authors who provide pro bono futurism to the federal government and appropriate non-governmental organizations.
As professional writers who have spent our literary careers exploring the future over an extreme range of possibilities, we have brought a new way of thinking to some government officials.
SIGMA members have consulted with many federal agencies in recent years, most publicly the Department of Homeland Security, about innovative ideas for dealing with issues of national concern. We offer "practical futurism" for the benefit of the nation and humankind.
Down to Earth
But in all of our meetings and conferences with government officials and others, not once has SIGMA ever proposed an alien invasion — not as a possibility, not as a threat, not as a solution to planetary problems.
We say that almost all our earthly problems are man-made, and almost all possible solutions will come from the human mind, spirit and will.
More than likely, outer space aliens are not a threat, and most certainly are not our saviors.
But then, we are only science fiction writers. What would we know about aliens?
