I'm pretty sure it was, yeah. 'Ex cathedra' basically just means 'extra officially'.

(Also note that the 'infallibility' in question is in fact fairly narrow - but you probably know that already.)

E: I have a question - does feeling remorse imply you wouldn't act the same way again, given a similar situation? Or is it rather more like regret that you acted the way you did, regardless of whether it was necessary?

I believe it does imply wishing not to do it again - as far as I understand, remorse is a sort of "oh crap, I screwed everything up massively" feeling, while the "I wish I didn't have to do this" feeling is called regret.

Am I reading it right that remorse is basically a stronger form of regret?

Either of them do imply wishing you won't do whatever it is again, at least for a little bit, yes. That doesn't even in the most remote of senses imply you won't, though, per the original inquiry. Any sort of guilt or guilt derivative can have remarkably little effect on actual action, heh. There's a distinct disconnect between feeling bad about something doing something about it :P

Google tells me that when someone previously encountered that bug the response was this:

You can try a -repair of the client, found at the same place you would submit a request for assistance.
Or clearing out your cache might alleviate the problem.
Or, as suggested above, contact the CS Team. [top of the GW2 website "Support"]
Good luck.

There was a small horror story. Can't remember if it was on nosleep or creepypasta, but it's about some guys that go into a cabin owned by the narrator's uncle and end up coming... under attack? By some weird human-shaped thing. The only other details I remember is it involving a deer being torn in half, a rabbit dying and one of the friends being a survival/gun nut.

Anyone got the name? IIRC it's not GREAT (bit too cliched, honestly), but I've got to the point where I've forgotten enough details for it to be irritating when I try to recall them.

Wrap it in a towel, hit it with a sledgehammer a few times.

Disassemble (to make sure you don't burn some plastic bits), then heat the disks past the Curie temperature of the material?

Disassembling it may prove complicated unless you resort to sledgehammering it open, since a lot of HDDs have really odd-shaped screws under the case to prevent them from being taken apart.

Pretty sure you can also do this with duct tape or whathaveyou, if you don't want to deal with picking electronic bits out of a towel or tossing one out. Wrap it in a layer or two of tape, then smash. Similarly few flying bitsies, less cleanup.

I think if you put it in the freezer for an hour or two there's a chance it'll work well enough to access temporarily.  I don't remember the details, but a friend of mine used to do it for people and it worked.

Won't work if the motor is broken, though.

If I can only get one of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R games, is it better to get Call of Pripyat, or Shadow of Chernobyl? I'm leaning toward Call of Pripyat because it's apparently more replayable and mechanically tuned, but I've heard Shadow of Chernobyl's writing is a lot better.
