Yesterday I managed to get my lowest level character into Ultimate yet. I know there are plenty of people that have managed to get someone into Ultimate at lower than level 46, but that's my lowest so far. Could have been lower, but I wound up doing a fair few partial runs of stages because of work.

My Yellowboze FOnewearl manages to demolish Falz with no trouble whatsoever at level 45, leveled up to 46. This FOnewearl was untweaked except for the three items that were necessary for her survival. These were... God/HP, God/HP, and God/HP. Yes, three God/HPs. Total piping time for all three... 1 hour. The first two piped in under 10 minutes, the third was stubborn. Anyways... just saying I'm proud of pulling that off so easily, and I wouldn't mind hearing some of your lowest levels into Ultimate for your only slightly tweaked characters seeing as all I really did was double her HP

wonder why no1 started this 1........sad how no1 knows it

Quote:Various organisations have criticised Microsoft for attempting to patent the creation of custom emoticons.

The patent application, which was published by the US Patent Office on Thursday, covers selecting pixels to create an emoticon image, assigning a character sequence to these pixels and reconstructing the emoticon after transmission.

Mark Taylor, the executive director of the Open Source Consortium, said on Friday said this is such a basic concept that he would not have been surprised to see it posted as a fictional patent on a technology site.

"I would have expected to see something like this suggested by one of our more immature community members as a joke on Slashdot, and probably would have chuckled at the absurdity of the notion. We now appear to be living in a world where even the most laughable paranoid fantasies about commercially controlling simple social concepts are being outdone in the real world by well-funded armies of lawyers on behalf of some of the most powerful companies on the planet," said Taylor.

He said the patent could be particularly problematic as it covers basic human communication. "Emoticons are a form of language, and a precedent allowing patenting of language constructs is very dangerous indeed," said Taylor.

Jonas Maebe, a spokesman for the Foundation for a Free Information Infrastructure (FFII), said that such a patent could be used by Microsoft to prevent competitors from developing applications that compete with its MSN Messenger application.

"It is unfortunately quite clear such patents have nothing to do with protecting investments nor R&D, and only with obtaining exclusion rights which can help them [Microsoft] maintain their dominant position in the market," said Maebe.

Such patents are in contradiction to the original purpose of the patent system, according to Maebe's colleague at the FFII, Felipe Wersen.

"Patents were ultimately designed to benefit society — to have companies disclose things that benefit society which they wouldn't otherwise disclose. Who does this patent benefit?" said Wersen.

Although Microsoft does not appear to have filed this patent in Europe, it has filed a number of patents around natural language. These include a patent for segmenting text strings into tokens to allow further language processing.

A Microsoft spokesperson said that comments on its patent applications can be submitted to the US patent office.

"Microsoft receives dozens of patents every week. We support the ability of anyone to submit prior art or input on a patent application with relevant authorities before a patent is issued," said the spokesperson.

The Microsoft patent that organisations are concerned about is patent number 20050156873 , which was filed in January 2004. The US Patent Office has not yet made a decision on whether to accept the patent application.

Hi!

Not sure if this is the right place to post this... It didn't seem news-y enough for me to actually post it as news, anyway.

On Blue Burst, all team points and teams seem to have been reset..... Properly reset, all the points earned in months previous to this also seem to have dissapeared..... Could just be maintenance, but it's very odd.
