![]() Server files: RapidShare Webhosting + Webspace :: Server files // Client // Requirements :: It better but it's really fun ( to me anywas I got diff opinions ) Pangya is a MMORPG Fantasy Anime type Golf Game, with lots of stuff lol. This site best viewed in Internet Explorer 6 or higher or Firefox.To create a Pangya Server You would Need three things: Nip, GameVortex Communications AKA Chris Meyer Look for our full review of the game in a few weeks. So for players out there who have been wanting something to ease themselves into the genre (as opposed to being tossed into the deep end with a Tiger Woods title), then you should definitely keep your eyes open for PANGYA: Fantasy Golf. While it does eventually get to the level of most golf-sims, it builds players up slowly so that they get a gradual understanding of how to play the game. PANGYA: Fantasy Golf seems to do a lot to appeal to both hardcore and casual golf-gamers. The ability to play a variable number of holes should really help since this game is on a portable system, and it seems to be a common issue on the PSP for developers to not consider the possibility that a player might only be have time for a few minutes of gameplay before they have to turn the system off. The game's non-story single player mode will let you play through a course of 3, 6, 9 and 18 holes, and with the ability to have the game randomly choose which holes on the course to play, you won't find yourself stuck doing the same ones over and over again because you only have time for 3 holes. But, PANGYA: Fantasy Golf will only allow you entry into tournaments if you go through the course's qualifying games to earn a license to play there, so you won't just be able to hop into any tournament right off the bat. You will also be able to play in various tournaments at multiple locations around the PANGYA Islands world. But while each story is stand-alone, the developers promised that they would intertwine with each other to give players a bigger picture of the overall story. ![]() The game will feature several modes that include a Story Mode featuring a unique path for each character. Another ball, the Watermelon, will have slices flying all over the screen when you hit it, but it will roll extra far once it hits the ground. This particular Aztec has more power and distance. One of the developers commented that they enjoyed the Bomber Aztec which looks like a classic bomb complete with lit fuse. These consumable items (so yes, you will have to keep buying new ones as you play through the game) will have similar affects on your character's abilities, but they also have some interesting visual designs. You can also buy balls (called "Aztecs") from the shop. But the clubs won't be the only thing affecting your character's abilities. Visually, these can look like anything from standard clubs to umbrellas, hammers and even medieval weapons, and their effects on the characters' stats will affect everything from power and control, to accuracy, spin and curve. Besides the base-stats on your character itself, you will be able to purchase a wide assortment of golf clubs (or "Air Lances" as they are referred to in the game). PANGYA: Fantasy Golf will also host a wide variety of stat-altering objects that you can equip your characters with, as well as a bunch of one-swing potions that will have a variety of effects on your character. But it isn't just the characters that gives PANGYA it's unique feel. Characters include everything from your basic princess, to your brooding goth-kid with a dark past and even a massive dragon. While most games will attempt to go with photo-realistic versions of actual golfers, or maybe even take a slightly cartoonish approach to their character design ( Hot Shots Golf), PANGYA: Fantasy Golf goes for an extreme with their anime characters that would look more appropriate in a Final Fantasy or Blue Dragon game than a golfing sim. The most noticeable thing about PANGYA that adds to this twist is the playable characters. PANGYA takes all of the standard golf mechanics power and accuracy meters, golf club and ball stats, complex holes and tournaments, but puts a JRPG twist on things to make it appealing to a wider audience. ![]() But either way, it is sure to turn a few heads, for both hardcore golfing gamers and those looking for something a bit more casual that doesn't necessarily take itself seriously. For one, it is the company's first venture onto a Sony system, and for another, it is a game being ported from Korea that has a lengthy history as a PC-based multiplayer golf simulator. PANGYA: Fantasy Golf is an unusual entry by TOMY for several reasons.

The zones in Sonic 3 are approximately three times bigger than those in Sonic 2, and feature multiple, branching paths.Īs with Sonic 2, there is a two-player Vs. At the end of each Act is a boss that must be defeated to complete the stage and rescue Sonic's animal friends that Robotnik has captured to turn into Badnik robots. Sonic 3 features six different Zones, which are made up of two Acts. Once you collect all the blue spheres in the stage, it clears and you earn one of the seven Chaos Emeralds. Collecting all of the outer blue spheres around square or rectangle sphere formations will turn them all into rings - if you collect 50 or more in this stage, you can earn a continue. In these stages, you must collect all the blue spheres while avoiding the red ones (which end the stage early). The other, more important, Special Stage can be accessed by jumping into giant rings that are hidden away in secret areas in each level. The stage is over when you fall down the bottom of the screen. By hitting the crank, you'll spit out a bonus item that can either be rings, lives or bonus shields. In this stage, there is a giant gumball machine. This stage give you the chance to earn bonus rings, lives and power-ups. There are now two types of bonus stages - one is available by collecting 50 or more rings, running past a checkpoint lamppost and then jumping into the stars (as you could in Sonic the Hedgehog 2. He can also carry Sonic with him while doing so. Tails cannot use the shields' special abilities, but he can instead either fly or dog paddle (in water) for a limited time. If Sonic has no shield active, he can activate a brief energy shield, also by pressing jump in the air. Sonic can use extra abilities when he has these shields by pressing jump while in the air - either a horizontal fireball dash, a vertical bubble bounce, or an electric double jump. New to Sonic 3 are three different types of shields - the Fire Shield (which protects you from fire but disappears if you enter water), the Water Shield (which lets you breathe underwater infinitely) and the Electric Shield (which pulls nearby rings towards you). Sonic can jump on enemies to defeat them, and Spin Dash by holding down and the jump button, then letting go of down. ![]() The basic game remains the same - players collect rings to earn extra lives, which are also used for protection, and scatter everywhere when Sonic is hurt. As with the previous games, it is a side-scrolling platformer based around speed. Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is the third in the Sonic series of games. With Knuckles tricked and trying to stop the heroes at every turn, will they be able to stop Robotnik in time? Robotnik needs them to repair the Death Egg, so he tells the guardian of Floating Island, Knuckles the Echidna, that Sonic and Tails are there to steal them. Robotnik's Death Egg has crash-landed on Floating Island, so called because it harnesses the power of the Chaos Emeralds to float in the air. ![]() ![]() It is said that when he asked Antisthenes to mentor him, the philosopher ignored him after Diogenes persisted, Antisthenes beat him with his staff.Īfter that treatment, Diogenes responded: “Strike, for you will find no wood hard enough to keep me away from you, so long as I think you’ve something to say. ![]() Many called him a lunatic, yet his wit and caustic humor became widely known, and he earned the respect of philosophers.ĭiogenes found interest in the ascetic teachings of Antisthenes, who was a student of Socrates. The Greek philosopher routinely demonstrated his complete disregard for every person, and any norm of the society that they were a part of. Diogenes was born about 413 BCE and died in 323 BCE, the same year, and, at least according to legend, the same day as Alexander the Great, who had an. The word “cynic” (in Greek kynikos (κυνικός) “dog-like”), derives from the word κύων or kynos, meaning dog, and was used to describe the dog-like behavior of Diogenes, who lived in the streets, sometimes eating raw meat, and performing his natural bodily functions in public, like a dog, without shame.

Diogenes was captured by pirates and sold into slavery. According to some sources, he was likely a student of the philosopher Antisthenes, who himself studied with Socrates. He carried out several political stunts, the best known of which is the incident when he went around carrying a lamp during the day, claiming to look for an “honest man.” He also gained much notoriety for publicly mocking Alexander the Great. He declared himself to be a citizen of the world and refused to claim allegiance to just one place. He also disregarded the laws and customs of the land, owing to which he became a controversial figure. Diogenes ( / dadniz / dy-OJ-in-eez Ancient Greek:, romanized : Diogns di.ons ), also known as Diogenes the Cynic (, Diogns ho Kyniks ), was a Greek philosopher and one of the founders of Cynic philosophy. He lived a life of extreme austerity and was known to beg for a living and sleep in the marketplace without any proper bedding. Diogenes (412 BC- 323 BC) was a Greek philosopher like no other. Diogenes believed that virtue was revealed more in action than in theory. Diogenes the Cynic: Sayings and Anecdotes, With Other Popular Moralists. He was one of the philosophers who originated the Cynic philosophy, a way of thinking that advocated the rejection of luxury and promoted “living in virtue”. His biting wit and eccentric behavior were legendary, and it was by means of his renowned aphorisms that his moral teachings were transmitted. Diogenes, also known as Diogenes the Cynic, was a Greek philosopher. The most illustrious of the Cynic philosophers, Diogenes of Sinope serves as the template for the Cynic sage in antiquity. Diogenes the Cynic is famed for walking the streets with a lamp in daylight, looking for an honest man.

EXT4 is great for servers that primarily use many files of small sizes This has made many people trust it more than any other file system.ģ. EXT4 has an added advantage over most of the other Linux programs because it has been used to test many Linux programs under trial. Most people have a big issue with a file system that has not undergone a lot of testing. Majority of Linux programs are tested on EXT4 One is likely to encounter a lot of issues when their home directory has been partitioned in ZFS, XFS, and BTRFS which is not the case with EXT4.Ģ. Most people would stick with EXT4 for basic home use, especially if power redundancy is uncommon. Other Tips You Might Want to Know about EXT4 ZFS can be used on a machine with as little as 1GB and run just smoothly. Hence, any machine that has a memory of over 2GB has sufficient RAM for applications and ZFS. Precisely, it can run with only a few hundred of megabytes of memory. As compared to EXT4, ZFS required a much smaller disc space. However, unless you're transferring data across multiple disks, it could send you a message prompt written "corrupted file, delete it permanently now ". ZFS has a number of pros like the capacity to handle data corruption due to scrubbing and checksums effectively. BTRFS has a maximum file size of 16exbibutes and the same size for the file system. It supports enterprises that involve large programs with very huge databases.īTRFS is able to span over multiple hard drives and hence it can support more drive space as opposed to EXT4 (precisely 16× more). Although it is autonomous from EXT4, it aims at improving on EXT4 ideas to give customers a better experience. ![]() With EXT4, there's an option for the users to disable it.īTRFS was built with an aim of expanding the functionality of the file system so as to include pooling, snapshots, checksums, and more. It's also possible to mount an EXT3 that is existent as an EXT4 file system without necessarily having to upgrade it. As opposed to EXT3, EXT4 supports large individual file sizes as well as the overall size of the file system. Research on the loss of power and different operational qualities is still underway hence we cannot conclude on which of these two file systems is better than the other.ĮXT4 inception took place in replacement of EXT3 to overcome its limitations. Although XFS has shown excellent performance when dealing with large files, it has the worst performance when it comes to dealing with many files of small sizes.Īdditionally, XFS facilitates safe unmounting of the USB and uses minimum power thus making power issues of power interruption uncommon as with the case of EXT4. XFS is especially instrumental when it comes to dealing with servers that primarily involve large files. XFS has a better resilience against loss of power (metadata) which is in its default settings. XFS and EXT4 latency were virtually all good in both runs considering that all were in microseconds. XFS has shown better performance for storage as compared to EXT4. But still, XFS was more superior to EXT4. With the increase in load, both EXT4 and XFS had a limited throughput of the hardware. Precisely, it seems to be 50% much faster than the EXT4 file system. However, XFS is amazingly fast in the insertion phase as well as the workload execution phase. ![]() They both use delayed allocation to achieve file fragmentation while both do not support mounted snapshots. Reviews of EXT4, EXT3, XFS, BTRFS, and ZFSĮXT4 and XFS show similarities in some features. Security model: A scheme for defining access rights.

If the voltage stays anywhere between 108V and 130V, the converter is probably OK. When the converter is connected to the power supply, check the voltage at the point of entry. To be absolutely sure that the converter is at fault, you have to conduct some last minute checks. That is why you should check out the RV batteries individually using a multimeter and make sure that their charging capacity remains acceptable. The converter supply of energy to the battery is determined by the amount being drawn from the 12-volt DC system.īad battery: A bad battery could draw power from other good batteries and make all of them fail. In some case, the converter could still supply the vehicle with energy but at a greatly diminishing rate.īackground issue: In this situation, the problem only becomes noticeable when the vehicle battery is about to be exhausted. Typical converter problemsįunctional failure: For most of the time, a malfunctioning converter would simply stop working which result in a total loss of power. In the case they are also working properly then there is a good chance that problem may be caused by the vehicle converter, Now it’s time to troubleshoot the converter. If you cannot find any trouble with both the fuse box and the breaker, inspect the vehicle wiring system and the lights themselves. Nonetheless, it’s unwise to jump to a conclusion just yet, you should take a look at the fuse box and the breaker. Well if you see your RV lights suddenly become dimmer and dimmer, there is definitely something wrong here. Important note: Disconnect the RV from its power supply before you attempt to inspect and repair any component of the vehicle electrical system. While the method is costly, it could save you a lot of time stumbling around your broken vehicle. Not every electrical problem is caused by the converter so it’s a good idea to let the professionals take over if necessary. In the case you want to play it safe, you could always take your RV to a workshop. However, it’s not really a requirement, you could still fix the converter and replace its component with minimum knowledge. In general, having electrical skill is quite useful when it comes to examining and repairing the vehicle converter. Down below is a comprehensive guide to converter troubleshooting along with some helpful usage advice. If you are interested in the subject, this article is for you. As a result, you should learn how to tell if RV converter is bad so you could perform maintenance in a timely manner. ![]() Needless to say, you must take care of the converter and repair it right away when the converter becomes malfunction.

The same chart shows when inputs (e.g, data or documents) or human resources will be needed and when and where there will be problems. Consequently, a PERT chart helps develop a realistic time frame for the project.įigure 4: ProjectLibre's user interface shows a Gantt chart in the top half and a chart plotting the commitment of a team member (Frank) over time in the bottom half.Ī project's Gantt chart shows when tasks happen, including milestones and baseline dates. PERT-capable software can automatically calculate a project's critical path (i.e., the longest time necessary to complete a project or some part of it). A PERT chart, which ProjectLibre calls a "network" ( Figure 1), is a statistical, graphical representation of a project's timeline. PERT was created for large, one-time, very complex projects in the 1950s, but it is useful in every project. The most common (and most important) way to use PDM network diagrams in project management is the Program Evaluation Review Technique (PERT). Another metric called "slack" shows how long that task can be delayed without creating problems for the rest of the project. Lead time is the time it takes to complete a task or the time saved by starting a task before the previous task is completed. PDM diagrams support probability calculations, as well as two other basic project management parameters: lead and lag times. Although PDM is more complicated, it is more accurate. For example, the maintenance of an old website cannot end until the new website is 100 percent ready. Finally, "start to finish" (SF) arrows indicate that one activity cannot finish until another activity starts. Similarly, "start to start" (SS) and "finish to finish" (FF) arrows connect activities that start, or end, at the same time. ![]() A "finish to start" (FS) arrow indicates that the second event cannot start before the first is finished. In PDM, activities are boxes that contain several parameters, and the arrows that connect the boxes represent how they depend on each other. ADM shows events as nodes and activities as arrows. Historically, there have been two main methods, often mixed together, for using network diagrams in project management: the arrow diagramming method (ADM) and the precedence diagramming method (PDM). When done properly, network diagrams make it easier to make good decisions – and also to document why a decision is good. Other information includes costs, risks, and responsibilities for each task. In project management, a network diagram describes all of a project's activities, their dependencies, and the corresponding workflow, from beginning to end. Understanding Project Management DiagramsĪ network diagram is the visual representation of all the elements that compose a network and how the elements are connected. If you are new to the field, see the box entitled "Understanding Project Management Diagrams" for an introduction to the world of project management charts and concepts. ProjectLibre is a tool for real-world project managers, and you'll need some familiarity with project management concepts to use it well. Once you are confident or feel you cannot further improve your plan without help, it's time to start using the software. Do as much brainstorming and planning as possible by hand: Draw sketches and lists with pen and paper and then revise. However, as you read this, keep in mind that experts recommend you not even start using the software until you have a good understanding of the project. This article describes how to get started with planning and diagramming a project using ProjectLibre. ![]() ProjectLibre is a useful open source tool for managing projects. But there is nothing proprietary about the concepts and methodologies of the project management profession – many of which have been in development for decades. ![]() One of the popular commercial tools for project managers is Microsoft Project. Several commercial software tools use these charts to help managers track and optimize the workflow. Over the years, a system of custom data structures, algorithms, and charts has evolved for helping a manager visualize critical deadlines and tasks. Managers of large projects don't even try to keep everything in their heads. Stereotypes aside, project management and the software that supports it make almost any complex group project run more smoothly.
