Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, May 07, 2002 6:03pm PDTHad like the bestest set of rounds ever playing SoF2 last night. You know you're doing well when people start calling votes to kick you off the server. I'm sold on the AK47 as the gun of choice combined with the shotgun as secondary. Still fiddling with grenades though. SoF2 needs to go gold so I can post pictures of my butt and then play all of the maps and that whole random map thing already. Here's stuff for the evening ladies:
- Pepsi Blue! I'm looking forward to Vanilla Coke too. - Speaking of Coke, they bought Jesus - Check out the FBI files on Einstein. Thanks Fark - Microsoft not playing nice? Say it aint so! - MusicNet sucking - Some Enron for your amusement. Thanks ChrisJ - More on the Kazaa sneakware - Japanese game shows are scary - If you get piercings, you're a punk!Lastly, looks like the internet taxation craze is getting started over in Europe. Bummer guys.
You fix someone up, even though you know they're gonna either A) go get shot again or B) shoot someone else
you know people are just gonna fuck up their computers again, and they'll be just as stupid when they do

Full features of GF4 Ti 4400 and 4600 without the cost (well... more on that in a moment)
http://www.gamepc.com/reviews/hardware_review.asp?review=gainward4200&page=1&mscssid=&tp=
Gainward model obviously, 4.0ns ram (250mhz DDR rated for 500mhz ram) - runs up to 550, and core hits 310 on this model.
Performs within 5% of a Ti 4600 when overclocked (obviously not guarunteed) and has Tv out AND in.
Unfortunately prelim costs = 208$ US on pricewatch.com - it's meant to be a "sub 200$" card - so here's for patience eh?
Also the d-sub 15 pin connector is very short unlike the Ti 4400 and Ti4600 cards, which makes me wonder is that where the 2D filters have been moved now? - and if so does this mean the GF4 4200's have low quality 2D much like the GF3's 2's etc (when I saw low quality, I'm talking 1280x1024@95hz or higher)

I've played through Halo almost three times, anyhow. Other than that, there *are* good games for the Xbox, but they don't "grab" me like most PC games. Sports, extreme sports, and racing titles are all fun, but I think I prefer plot, action, fantasy, and interesting themes over killer visuals of a car driving really fast.
Have any of you guys recently gone back to pure PC gaming pleasure? What are the drawbacks/advantages?

My current job = dull, no room for advancement, lots of micro-management. I have an Associate's degree in Computers, but I really would like to grab a B.A. in some liberal art, like Psychology or Political Science. I'm kind of burned out on IT and the whole "corporate culture". We just got moved from small offices with windows to windowless, gray cubicles. I'm in a climate-controlled prison here. Sounds of typing and phones ringing drive me insane! So anyway..
I'd like to leave my job at the beginning of July, take two months off (enjoy my summer, damn it), then begin full-time college in the fall. I can take out loans and receive decent financial aid because I'm 24, and considered an independent. I wouldn't mind working part-time, either, just to cover some extra bills and spending money.
Does this sound like a feasible plan? I've budgeted my expenses for July and August, and if I'm stingy with my money for the next six weeks, I can easily pull it off. I have no kids, mortgage, or wife (just a girlfriend for now). Sound doable?

How do people that work 8/9-5 function? Everyone else works that same time, so when you get off work, everything's closed (except fast food, the mall, movies). Why does everyone work at the same time?

This virus spreads to everybody in our address book, and that means you!
Sorry, but we got it from somebody else, and she asked us to have a look and see if we have it, and yes - we had it on our system.
The name of the virus is jdbgmgr.exe and both McAfee and Norton don't detect it.
It apparently remains in your computer system for 14 days and after that erases all your files.
To delete and eliminate it completely, please do the following as soon as possible:
1. Go to START-FIND-FILES OR FOLDERS.
2. Under NAMED, type jdbgmgr.exe and click FIND NOW. Make sure you are looking under Drive C:................DO NOT CLICK ON IT IF IT APPEARS...............
3. If the virus appears (the icon net to it will be a small teddybear) - DO NOT OPEN IT - just right click on it and DELETE it. It will be sent to the Recycle Bin.
4. After you see it disappear, go to the Recycle Bin and delete it from there as well. If at all possible - empty the Recycle Bin under File.
If you find the virus in your system, please send this message to everyone in your address list ASAP before it causes any damages.

Ricus van Zyl (IDC)"
"OK MISTARMAN, I WILL DELETE THIS FILE INSTANTLY!!"
...can't even remember when I last did something an e-mail said to...
