First Post!
by Maarten Goldstein, Oct 09, 2002 5:58am PDTFinally got my hands on Battlefield 1942. Much playing will be done. Well my dental checkup wasn't just a checkup, as it turned out one of my fillings had to be replaced. Things last only five years, that's kinda a bum deal. Dentists gotta make more money I guess. But to have two cavity fillings replaced every five years for the rest of my life seems kinda awful. Apparently silver filling lasts 10 years, but I'd rather keep things white. Movie: I need a corporal. You're it, until you're dead or I find someone better.

Capcom aims to shorten development cycle
Goal: See if the Intel Accelerator/Chipset drivers released recently make any sort of difference in system--in particular--IDE performance:
Fresh system, W2K SP3, all hotfixes as of today
PIII 933mhz
256M
TNT2
i815
PCMARK 2002, average of three runs
CPU/Memory/HDD
Before chipset/IA drivers: 2461/1606/872
After chipset/IA Drivers: 2464/1506/1005
Conclusion:yes, they are better for HDD, worse for memory.
Yes I am bored at work today. Calm before the new ISP storm.)

Blood on the leaves
Blood at the root
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees
Pastoral scene of the gallow south
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth
The scent of magnolia sweet and fresh
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh
Here is a fruit for the crows to pluck
for the rain to gather
for the wind to suck
for the sun to rot
for the tree to drop
Here is a strange and bitter crop

My contribution:
For males who have dirty kitchens and no dishwashers: If you have two sinks, keep one filled with water and soap throughout the day. Whenever something gets dirty, it's really easy to dip in the soapy water, sponge it, and rinse it off. This way, you will avoid having a huge pile of dirty dishes in the sink that will scare away hot bisexual chicks with belly button rings.
Change the water every other day or so.

I'm talkin to a guy...he wasn't sure which tcp port PING uses. ::sigh::
He was suprised to hear that you can have multiple IPs on one NIC. Thought that since the company owned 16 ips, he could just pick one and the firewall would pick up on it (if he set up iptables correctly). *shakes head*
Please give me your keyboard. You are not allowed to use this anymore.
