What are luck points?

TEC Frequently Asked Questions
A luck point does two things. It can either give your character a very large bonus on the next action they attempt, or can be used to bring a deceased character back to life. The administrative staff restricts the use of the Luck! command in some cases. Type '?Luck!' for more detailed information. (Thanks to Racker)

Procmail FAQ
It's really kind of late to stop the spam when it's already on your mail server. Better solutions would involve your mail administrator and IP-level blocks against spam sites (RBL et al.) as well as probably additional server-level filtering. Don't reinvent the wheel. There are good recipe packages out there which you cannot duplicate without serious effort. And it'd be a waste of time anyway. You'll find links to many Procmail spam filtering packages on the links page.

is it about luck or skill?

The trial was supervised by a professor from the statistics department of Bar-Ilan University, Israel. 16 players participated in the trial: 5 were top level (information taken from Play65 site), 2 middle and 9 with weak abilities. The results showed that 3 out of the 4 finalists were top level and in the finals itself both players were high level.

The shows are all "sold out." Am I out of luck if I didn't get tickets yet?

U2 Tour FAQ - U2tours.com
Not at all. U2 has a history of holding back tickets and releasing them as the concert date draws closer as a means of hurting ticket brokers and ticket scalpers. So you should keep an eye on official sources (i.e. Ticketmaster.com, the venue box office, and any other official ticket outlets) to see if and when tickets are released. In addition, fans often trade and sell tickets amongst themselves. You should keep an eye on the U2tours.

If I don't have an Intel-based computer, am I out of luck?

INDEX
No. We thought of that. The MINIX distribution comes with TWO simulators. One of them allows MINIX to run as a user program on a SPARC workstation. This version only works on SPARCS, but it runs MINIX at full speed. The other simulator is a 386 interpreter that can run MINIX on the bare (interpreted) hardware. Of course, running MINIX on an interpreted 386 is slower than running it on the bare metal, but it is still quite usable. This simulator works on any computer that supports X Windows.

Why hide the Luck attribute?

myAoA - Ages of Athiria
Mainly because it is not realistic for someone to know without a doubt how lucky they are. There are many things that we want to do with this attribute. It would fill too much space here to discuss and validate every design decision behind this attribute so you will just have to judge for yourself how important the attribute is when the game is released.
