You would think they would stop using Legolas since the game is 2 years old now. Yeah that is a Night Elf hunter, if you were wondering...
Microsoft WGA servers down
Saturday, 25. August 2007 14:14 - daniel - Computer - 0 Comments
DRM bites again: the Microsoft Windows Genuine Advantage servers (which every XP and Vista install phones home to) all failed sometime earlier today. The result? Every single Windows XP and Vista installation -- except possibly those with volume license keys -- is being marked as counterfeit when it tries to check in. Installations which are flagged as counterfeit switch to a "reduced functionality mode" which results in features like Aero and DirectX being disabled.Ha Ha.
Some plug-ins

I just released yabs 0.8.0beta4 and here is the comment location plug-in as promised.
comment_country
The plug-ins tries to guess from witch country a comment is coming from. It checks hostip.info for the IP and if hostip.info doesn't know the domain, it checks the hostname for the TLD code.

Guessing locations

I wrote a little plug-in that tries to guess where you come from, just like you can see it on this site. The plug-in queries hostip.info for your IP address. If hostip.info doesn't find your location, the plug-in looks at your hostname for your top level domain (TLD) code. If it can find it in the list, your country will be displayed next to your name.
The plug-in depends on a filter that will be introduced in the next version of yabs, I'll publish it at the same time I publish the next version of yabs.
