Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Sep 17, 2002 6:00pm PDTAh man, today was pretty fruity. Pretty good day overall though, and I'm looking at some home made ice cream tonight so it's just gettin better! That NOLF2 demo was some pretty good stuff, even better executed than I expected even. After that oh so slow summer we seem to be in gaming bliss once again. Stuff!
- Speed of light? Thats just slow. - Pepsi pondering space promotion - Some CNN on the online console wars - If you're curious about Linux, check out this bootable CD with UT2003! - That pyramid robot... found a door - Black holes, lots of them!Lastly, cold pizza tastes good? Well yeah.. except NOT. GROSS.

Our floor has public showers (with curtains between them) but there's this one kid who feels it necessary to disrobe and rerobe outside of the privacy of the shower curtain and shares the vision of his naked body with the floor. No one else does this, he is the only one, and pretty much everyone on the floor has caught a vision of him naked and we don't like it.
So i made a sign saying:
WARNING:
Naked
Derrick
X-Ing
with a picture of a naked baby underneath (from the MS clipart library searching for "naked") and i quickly edited the hair to look like his.
I have a vision of him totally flipping out tomorrow.
So, evil or not?

High school days:
Her dad burst into the room, took in the articles of clothing scattered around the room and the entwined pair on the bed, and said, "What is the meaning of this?!"
I paused and then told him, "It's a pronoun. It's used to refer indirectly to a person, place, thing, idea, or event."
Yeah, I got my ass kicked, but you have to admit: that was a good one.

It's basically the guys over at Rockstar offending everyone they possibly can in the form of a video montage of old action movies, porno flicks, and infomercials among other things. o_O
Anyways, it's pretty well done, so I suggest anyone with a liking of Rockstar's humor check it out. Definitely NWS here, even though everything is blurred out. I believe it requires Quicktime as well.

Life is good :)
was sitting around in the sun lab at school (all of the comps running solaris) for my computer music class... the prof was trying to show us some shit with mpeg-4 (creating a simple echo and flange effect)
But it took forever to get everyone logged on in the lab due to screwy account management, and then once everyone was logged in, some people couldnt even get the sound to work right on these expensive ass sun machines, and everyone basically spent a longass time trying to compile the mpeg-4 stuff, process it on a few wav files, and then play it back.
eventually some dude just got fed up, went over to the one win2k machine in the corner of the room, telnetted in to our dept's main server, copied the wavs over, ran the scripts and all that shit to create the echo, and then downloaded the resulting wav and played it in windows media player, which took him like 5 minutes. I had to laugh cause my school is so heavy with wannabe lunix geeks who spell it "M$" and everything

Record companies see it as mutiny. Musicians call it an overdue rebellion. Either way, the artists' rights movement has set the stage for combat that could revolutionize the music industry.

my fav tactic is to hide off a major or minor road or pathway so that ppl just roll on by! Numerous tank maps like Kursk or Kharkov are preferred, you can get 1 shot kills on 3-4 other tanks in a row, haha. :D
