I saw this on the forums:

How to tell if one is a bot/farmer in L2:

"Theres a lot of ways to tell. First off, they're probably a dark elf, maybe light elf, with manticore and a maingauche. Sometimes dwarven scavengers (this changes sometimes obviously). They also usually have a stupid name. An example would be oo00USA00oo, llllapplellll, lovehavegreat, eelove0133, happy003, etc. And if the word "love" is in the name somewhere 9/10 times it's a farmer. In towns they usually have stores up that say "LOOK LOOK LOOK." Don't support them by buying from/selling to them. Also almost anyone who says ++++HP unless they're joking around. And of course 99% of the people in low level dungeons..."

For Marie and Ryan (or anyone who has digital cameras):

"It appears that our lovable search engine has again expanded its horizons - the internet wasn't enough; now you can search and organize your own pictures. I don't know about you, but I use Google for nearly everything; heck, I found links about their acquisition of Picasa through Google News! Any slashdotters going to benefit from this tech, or already do? And yes, the addition of Picasa to their arsenal is a couple of days old, but they just started linking them on the homepage today." -

More Doom News:
Slashdot - "Yes, this is the official word that [long-awaited PC FPS] DOOM 3 has been code released and has been approved for manufacturing! According to the .plan file of id CEO Todd Hollenshead: 'We literally just hung up with Activision and have confirmed that our latest release candidate has been mutually approved and is finally GOLD. So, the next question is release dates. Retailers in the States will be allowed to pick up games starting at 12:01 AM on August 3rd. The official street date is actually August 5th in the U.S.A., but some of your favorite stores will probably have it early for those of you who have to have it first. Check with your local retailer for that information... [Internationally] the UK will probably get it first, on or about August 6th. Everywhere else will probably be Friday, August 13th (cue Twilight Zone Theme) or close to that date, with just a few exceptions (e.g. Russia and Poland)'."
