Hopefully, this will become more obvious once he gets it working. <rant> The whole virtual machine concept implies that you are not to be trusted as a developer. You are expected to trust the language vendor more than your own programming skills. While comfortable and cozy, this method incrementally takes away a great liberty, and emasculates the deep inner desire to singlehandedly take over the world which is beating in the heart of any true geek. Java has cross-platform merits, but clearly, it was designed by the marketing department, not by the geek squad. The fact that it is so popular is indicative of the current sad status of programming in general, which fell quickly from its more pure origins, where all programmers intuitively understood such principles. If you can't crash a server, and crash it big with buggy inline assembler, how are you ever going to learn grace under pressure, which is a necessary component of any responsible world domination plan? ;) </rant> -Jared p.s. SIMSCA. Sitting In My Seat Chuckling Aloud. Kind of like ROTFL, but a little more gentlemanly.

O.K. My friend has informed me that moparscape is pretty lame so I wanna get this working and try some different servers. I've got 12 different servers all I need is a client. When I try to run I get this: tommy@dad:~/Desktop/Metis$ java -Djava.library.path=lib -jar metis.jar Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: metis/MetisMain (Unsupported major.minor version 49.0) at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass0(Native Method) at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(ClassLoader.java:539) at java.security.SecureClassLoader.defineClass(SecureClassLoader.java:123) at java.net.URLClassLoader.defineClass(URLClassLoader.java:251) at java.net.URLClassLoader.access$100(URLClassLoader.java:55) at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:194) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:187) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:289) at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:274) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:235) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(ClassLoader.java:302) Here's the file: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=166699&package_id=194… P.S.

If you go to this link: http://www.moparscape.org/smf/index.php/topic,6915.msg72503.html#msg72503 you will see the problem is addressed by Jason's solution to upgrade to the latest Java, as well as by the following advice: "Extract the WHOLE archive into its own folder first." I note you are running it from a folder sitting on the desktop. Consider storing your programs in a directory like ~/tinkering/ or ~/java/ or ~/apps/ or something like that. As you tinker with more programs, they will all be in a single orderly place, not piling up on the desktop. -Jared

Also, Linux and Windows can be altered to not respond > to remote ctl+alt+delete. Responding to the four claims above: 1. "Phishing" is a strategy of fooling the user into thinking he is logging into a system when he is actually running an application which harvests passwords. It is at least 18 years old, as I used this technique on a DEC VMS system at UMKC in the late 1980s, as a stunt among close friends, not entirely realizing the ethical boundaries I had crossed. I never actually used passwords thereby harvested, because it was more fun to simply show the program to a friend and say "Ain't that cool?" Many years later, the term "phishing" was coined to describe this technique, by which time Windows NT had changed CTRL-ALT-DEL from the reboot sequence to its anti-phishing Security Sequence. Thus, the phishing technique is well over 30 years old, although the name "phishing" is new. 2. A dongle is a well-known practice for ensuring: a. The expensive-application runs only on a single machine. b. The secure-user is actually at the local machine. It is also annoying and consequently not used often, thank God. 3. TightVNC allows me to send CTRL-ALT-DEL remotely, and it will perform as expected, _not_ immediately rebooting the computer. I think your information on this may be a few years old, from before Microsoft commandeered the CTRL-ALT-DEL sequence from its previous role as reboot sequence. 4. Your final point is correct. On a RedHat system, comment this line in /etc/inittab: ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t3 -r now In Windows, there are several ways; even including JavaScript: var wshell=WshShell.CreateObject("WshShell"); wshell.RegEdit("HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Policies\CurrentVersion\ System\DisableTaskMgr",1,"REG_DWORD"); Of course, your security policies will need to allow this. In other words, the initial claim of "Wrong" above may need to be adjusted slightly. Luke did know what he was talking about, and I write to corroborate. -Jared > >-----Original Message----- > >From: Luke -Jr > >Sent: Wednesday, February 21, 2007 11:27 AM > > > >Actually, IIRC, the Ctrl-Alt-Delete login process is meant to > >thwart phishing attacks.

Hey all! I'm trying to run a private RuneScape server/client on Ubuntu Dapper but I keep getting this: tommy@dad:~/Desktop/Moparscape$ java -noverify -Xmx500m -cp ./MoparScape.jar: Bot 0 Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/StringBuilder at Bot.<clinit>(Bot.java:107) Dad suggested I consult the list and I figure someone knows what I'm doing wrong. The site I got the client from is: http://www.moparscape.org/smf/index.php/topic,6915.msg70691.html Gurus bestow thy knowledge!! Tommy
