Took to long to properly edit my previous post.

In addition to what I quoted up there:

Running Wild is indeed the new racial "mount" for worgen. Functionally the ability works exactly like a mount. This does mean the worgen are not bringing faction mounts to the table which other Alliance races can access. This is also of course very different from the original Plainsrunning implemented for taurens. We have no plans to try and bring that ability back in any form.

Ultimately, we feel Running Wild fits very well with the nature of the worgen race. Rather than getting a physical mount, they get down and sprint on all fours. When you're playing a worgen, it just feels awesome.

As well as:

2nd part of Patch 4.0.1 on Background Downloader

The 2nd part of Patch 4.0.1 is now available on the Background Downloader, things are looking a little better today for weird people who think that Cataclysm will be released on November 2.

should something be downloading? i keep getting 'data for next patch is not available'

There is a problem with the background downloader being experienced by some people. What worked for me was to delete the BackgroundDownloader.exe and run the repair tool with Check Files Only. It replaced the file with a newer one from their servers, and it began to download the pre-patch data for 4.0.1.

Mine didn't either until I did a file repair.

Thanks, that worked. Had to do it twice because it gave me an error about not having permission to save ... something. So I ran it as administrator and it worked. Then the torrent file also popped up in the Cache folder. I can't believe they insist on using that crappy Blizzard download per default or at least improve it - I'd struggle to get over 400 kb/s with the thing because the uncapped upload would KILL my connection! Turning off P2P would just mean speeds between 2-400KB/s.

At least it's a bit faster with proper torrent software.

That is the exact reason why I never use the program files folder for games on Vista or Windows 7. I always create a new directory (i.e. C:\Games\) and install there. I never get an error stating I can't save there because I'm the creator and owner of the folder.

I don't use default folders either, so don't assume too much :)

The http source on the torrent tracker used to be really fast, which meant decent speeds. Now It's just overloaded and slow as hell, sometimes it doesn't even seem to connect.

Rushing? Might as well be ready for when patch-day hits - No point in downloading 4GB of patches a few days before or on the day of patch release.

It's speculated that release MIGHT be on Nov. 2nd. Now.. I don't know how many times the first-guess release date has been incorrect, but it's been enough to safely assume it will be later. Also, it's safe to assume everyone and their brothers dog is trying to download this right now, thus, clogging the pipes. Even if the game is released on Nov. 2nd, that's a month and almost two weeks away.

I'm desperate for some help with my character.

http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Aggramar&n=Forcer

I've pretty much n00bed my way through the game, stopped playing for about 10 month and then picked up where i left off about 3 weeks a go, i've picked up quite a lot in this short time than i did when i played before.. i was late in dungeons, battlegrounds and picking up professions.. I'm sort of where i want to be but my character still needs a lot of work and i don't want to start him again.

My gear still looks pretty poor and also maybe my talent tree, after getting some in game help and reading a lot of guides it was clear i should of been fury spec.. now after searching the WoW forums most comments pretty much point to arms?

When i am in battlegrounds i'm pretty much destroyed within seconds of coming into contact with an enemy to the point where it's pointless playing, but do i want to be hammering the battlegrounds for honor points?.. i seem to be managing OK in dungeons.

Any recommendations on what changes i can make to improve my warrior? what sockets and enchanting gear all about? and also the

Also: i went to Outland at level 59 after installing BC, i'm on level 68 now and only just left Terokkar Forest with not much of outland covered, is there a need to quickly move on when getting into the WOTLK 70-80 level?

This patch is due to be released before the actual expansion.

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By ExecutiveFunction404 · Posted

      This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.

      The proportion (or number of iterations) has nothing to with this aspect of Copyright I am describing. In short, it doesn't matter how many times the manager tells you to change something or how. Your work product is always YOURS until and unless you then assign that to the person representing the client/company, usually for financial compensation -- either in salary or as a subcontract work for hire payment. if iterations determined copyright, then businesses would have learned to just keep making changes until they could claim they owned the copyright, without having to compensate the artist for their work. And that would be BAD. The only place where the amount of changes does have a role is in how much does a human modify a previous public domain work (from any source) before it is considered fair use or their own work, etc. For example, if a human makes substantial changes to a public domain (re: AI, by definition) work, then they can then claim that derivative work as their own...but NEVER the original version, of course. That's why anyone can make a movie about Dracula, for example, as long as it is based on the public domain novel, but not if they take new ideas from copyrighted movies made afterwards. As one of the people who personally advised the US Copyright Office on their recent ruling on these very issues, be assured that I specifically used the terminology precisely -- though I made it simple enough for laymen to understand it. If I made this confusing by doing so, I apologize. But, to be clear regarding your assumption that I would agree to your second statement that I quoted above -- the answer is NO. If AI does the work, no matter how much "direction" you give it, it cannot be copyrighted. All AI generated content is in the Public Domain and therefore the copyright cannot be assigned to ANYONE, even you -- until and unless substantial modifications are made to it BY A HUMAN BEING (yourself or a contracted artist/writer/etc.) and then that copyright on the derivative work is legally (in writing) transferred to you. This is a critical distinction. And it is important that people, especially AI sloppers, understand this. For example, YouTube is not paying AI slop generators for the copyright, etc. of their AI slop. What YouTube is doing is sharing AD REVENUE for permission to publish your AI slop. Copyright/ownership/rights never come into it. Importantly, that means that anyone can copy any AI slopware on YouTube, etc. and rehost it anywhere they want, even back on YouTube, and there is nothing legal that YouTube can do about it with regards to copyright protections, ownership, DMCA, etc. Anyone is legally free to use any AI slopware in any way they want. When this ruling was pending, I warned Disney legal of all of this before they did their OpenAI deal -- that it would literally dilute their entire IP portfolio forever. They ignored that warning for the PR and stock bump. But that is why, when the ruling came down last year, Disney quickly extricated themselves from that OpenAI deal, even eating the initial upfront fees -- followed closely by OpenAI ending their entire AI video generating business model. They adjusted their PR release dates to make this less obvious to shareholders, of course. Phew. I hope that this clears up the key distinctions for you and anyone reading. If you have any additional questions or even hypotheticals about AI and Copyright, please feel free to ask.
