I only recently got into Ult. and I noticed a significant jump in the amount of exp stolen per hit. I'm using a Lord's Raygun and stealing 80 exp/hit. I remember reading somewhere that androids get a boost from exp stealing weapons in Ult., but I could be wrong. Can anyone point me in the right direction to get some more details? This is my first character in Ult., so if this is the case with all characters, sorry about the unnescessary posting.

I found a Hell Arms with 20/0/0/15/35. When I got it I figured that it'd be usefull seeings as I could hit 5 enemys at once. My question is does the Hell special get downgraded like Gush and Spirit? My Gush Arms only steals 39 health from each enemy. Will the hell special be reduced to only killing enemys part of the time?

im playing docs secret plan, getting mullered by arlans (im lvl 95 FO, its expected ) and i hit 85 hp, so think 'heal' and i resta, but as i do it i get hit, and the my body kind of falls to the ground still doing resta (the thing of light at the end). anyone knoe why i didnt resta dodge this?

Quote:Sysinternals' Mark Russinovich has performed an analysis of the copy restriction measures deployed by Sony Music on its latest CDs: which he bluntly calls a 'root kit'. Using conventional tools to remove Sony's digital media malware will leave ordinary users with Windows systems unable to play CDs.

While the Sony CDs play fine on Red Book audio devices such as standard consumer electronics CD players, when they're played on a Windows PC the software forces playback through a bundled media player, and restricts how many digital copies can be made from Windows.

A 'root kit' generally refers to the nefarious malware used by hackers to gain control of a system. A root kit has several characteristics: it finds its way onto systems uninvited; endeavors to remain undetected; and then may either intercept system library routines and reroute them to its own routines, or replace system executables with its own, or both - all with the intention of gaining system level ownership of the computer.

What makes Sony's CD digital media software particularly nasty is that using expert tools for removing the parasite risks leaving you with a Windows PC that's useless, and that requires a full reformat and reinstall.

So is Sony bundling a root kit, or is it the latest in a long line of clumsy, and sometimes laughably inept attempts to thwart the playback of digital media on PCs?

We were inclined to the latter - but in practical terms, for ordinary users, the consequences are so serious that semantic distinctions are secondary.

In actuality both, reckons Russinovich. It's a 'root kit' that arrived uninvited, but it's also "underhanded and sloppy software" , that once removed, prevented Windows from playing his CD again (Van Zant's 'Get With The Man') he notes in his analysis.

The Sony CD creates a hidden directory and installs several of its own device drivers, and then reroutes Windows systems calls to its own routines. It intercepts kernel-level APIs, but then attempts to disguise its presence, using a crude cloaking technique.

Disingenuously, the copy restriction binaries were labelled "Essential System Tools".

But the most disturbing part of the tale came when Russinovich ran his standard rootkit-removal tool on the post-Sony PC.

"Users that stumble across the cloaked files with a RKR scan will cripple their computer if they attempt the obvious step of deleting the cloaked files," he writes.

Which puts it in an entirely different class of software to the copy restriction measures we've seen so far, which can be disabled by a Post-It note. Until specialist tools arrive to disinfect PCs of this particular measure.

Right, I've now started a thread for all discussion issues of MTG.

Otherwise, feel free to discuss any other aspect of the wonderful game that is Magic: the Gathering!

What's the deal with these? I found a ????Laser, and when I tekked it, it became a Chaos Laser(yellow text). This is the first weapon like this that I've found so I thought I'd inquire as to why the text is yellow. Percents are 0/20/30/35. Don't know if that has anything to do with it or not, just thought I'd mention them. Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know where I would find one of these? Been looking on PSOW, found nothing about the Mark 3 Mag specifically.
