The Saboteur (ing) Free: Climb, Race, and Brawl Through the City of Lights

In Wayward Cave the Commander found Braham, along with Rox and Garm. The Commander apologized for the Svanir hunting them, and then proceeded to catch Braham up on all that had happened in the past few encounters. Braham was mostly uninterested, and was appalled that the Commander had left Destiny's Edge behind for a new guild, feeling that it spat on his mother's and Snaff's memory. The group pressed onward into the cave, searching for the mystic scroll. Deep inside the cave, they eventually found an ice beast and its minions. After breaking down several ice blocks, the scroll Braham searched for was revealed. He took it and fused it into Eir's bow to defeat the ice beast. Braham was elated, and stated his plans to crack Jormag's tooth with the enchanted bow, rallying the Norn so that Jormag could be defeated once and for all. However the Commander rejected this idea, saying that it would get many people killed recklessly, and mentioned Taimi's alternative plan. Braham was furious, insulting the Commander's actions and storming off angrily with Garm back to Hoelbrak.

Sanded grout is more durable and stable for interior flooring. Unsanded grout can be prone to severe cracking when pressure is applied to it. Use unsanded grout for walls, countertops, and bathtub enclosures because it clings to fine surfaces and hairline grout lines better than sanded grout.

Cheap artifacts that can be cracked to get mana and/or draw cards. Almost always seen in the context of Second Sunrise decks like Stanislav Cifka's winning deck from Pro Tour Return to Ravnica.[26]

The large, oval-shaped handles are made of tough and long-lasting ABS plastic and have a built-in nutcracker/twist cap opener at the base. And the blades include an integrated bottle cap opener as well.

Microsoft did have to take a few shortcuts to keep their system in a reasonable price range, including a cooling system that proved inadequate and a CPU that's a slightly modified version of the PS3's Cell Processor's PPE architecture, though limited to a 10 MB frame buffer and without the numerous hardware complexities that made programming for the PS3 such a headache for. There were widespread reports of "Red Rings of Death" (i.e. general system failure) errors causing consoles to die abruptly, particularly in earlier hardware revisions of the console.note Xenon, Falcon, Zephyr and Opus revisions are all affected. The combination of an undersized heatsink and poorly though-out "X-Clamp" build meant that excess heat would cause the solder balls under the GPU to expand and contract, leading the GPU to develop microscopic cracks within the solder and preventing the chip from making contact with the motherboard. In the end, Microsoft reported that more than half (51.4%) of all original-production 360 systems were affected by the manufacturing defects. This easily could have destroyed the Xbox brand, but Microsoft ultimately took the step of extending the 360's warranty to cover all general system failure issues for three years, at the cost of $3 billion. However, the problem still cost Microsoft their considerable lead against Sony and the PS3, as 360 sales heavily stalled for much of 2007 as a result. The "Red Ring of Death" issue gradually subsided thanks to improved hardware design, especially with the later "Jasper" and "Kronos" revisions.

As for hardware security, Microsoft learned their lesson from the original Xbox and locked the 360 down tight; for one, the boot ROM was contained directly inside the CPU, which also contained a unique CPU key that was tied directly to the motherboard. The CPU also utilized eFuses, which "blew" every time a firmware update was downloaded to prevent downgrading. Finally, Microsoft installed a Hypervisor (basically a virtual machine) in the console to prevent the execution of unsigned code, reading data from the buses, or editing RAM. However, it wasn't flawless. Firmware revision 4532 introduced an exploit that allowed hackers to modify a shader on the video game adaptation of King Kong (2005) to open the system up to arbitrary code execution, albeit you needed custom DVD drive firmware to run a DVD-R with the hacked game on it. But Microsoft responded quickly and patched out this exploit in the firmware before hackers could make this exploit public knowledge. That wasn't the end though. Hackers then discovered that the system's SMC chip disabled system debugging features upon startup, and found a way to bypass the disabling of the CPU and GPU "JTAG" ports, bypass the eFuses and downgrade to revision 4532, allowing the use of the "King Kong exploit". Other exploits involving the JTAG were discovered before Microsoft ultimately fixed them at the hardware level with the Zephyr, Opus, and Jasper models, and with the Red Ring of Death issues on earlier models, these earlier "hackable" models were undesirable and for years the Xbox 360 remained locked down until 2011, when the CPU's thread management code was brute-forced to allow for custom firmware, therefore cracking the system wide open. Despite this, the Xbox 360's security system still succeeded at what it set out to do, which was to protect the system from hackers until the system's twilight years.

Second, and most likely to appeal to Scalzi fans, is the first book in The Actuator series, Fractured Earth. A machine designed to turn the world into a utopia is instead used by a saboteur to break it into patches of every kind of genre fiction. People running from aliens invading on one side of the street cross it to find a dragon eating people on the other. Only a handful of people even know about this machine and they are trying to fix the world before everybody dies.

He looked away from the window where he stood staring out at the storm. Fire sleeted across the landscape, whirling heatless flames that hissed and crackled around the wind-tossed trees, red and blue and yellow and icy white. The wind roared and boomed, with a hollow voice that seemed to shout words in some unknown tongue, and from behind the curtain of flaming rain there was the crimson glow of an open furnace. As if, thought Langdon, as if the gates of Hell stood open just beyond the hills.

We went up a garden path to a rambling stone house. Inside, it was long and low and filled with the memoirs of more gracious days, art and fine furniture, books lining the walls, a fire crackling ruddily in the living room.

He looked ahead, down the great road. It twisted and swooped between the fantastically wind-carven crags, a dim white ribbon in the deepening twilight. The smooth stone blocks were cracked apart by ages so long that the thought made his head reel, and in places the harsh wiry vegetation had grown through and over it, but still the old Imperial Way was there. The ancients had built mightily.

They had gone steadily eastward and were now camped near a ruined farmhouse. A fire was crackling and one of the score or so of enemy warriors was roasting a haunch of meat over it. The rest stood leaning on their weapons and their cold amber eyes never left the two prisoners.

He played them a song of the chase, the long wild hunt over the heath, breath gasping in hot lungs and blood shouting in the ears, running drunk with wind after the prey that fled and soared. He played them fire and comradeship and the little huts crouched low under the mighty sky. And the walls cracked around him. Pillars trembled and broke. The roof began to cave in and everywhere they died about him.

He spitted one and trampled another and tossed a third into the air. Whirling, he clove a head and smashed a rib-case with his fist and chopped another across. His sword broke, and he grabbed two Arzunians and cracked their skulls together. 2ff7e9595c
