Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Jan 09, 2003 5:34pm PSTWell, after a mid-season scare I get to watch my childhood favorite NFL team head into the playoffs this weekend. I tend to lose and gain interest in different pro sports every few years. I think the only sport I havent really taken a real interest in at one point is probably hockey. I even dug on Nascar (I did live in a trailer park as a kid so...) for a few years and still love Nascar racing games. :) Oh uh.. anyways hey look!

If someone tells you that dorm life is fun, shove your foot up their ass and twist. Jan 10th, 2003 02:01:49 was when I made my last post, after which I brushed my teeth and went to bed peacefully and quietly. At 05:55:xx I was awoken by another god damned fire alarm, again! http://www.shacknews.com/ja.zz?id=6210626 So, I put on my pants and shoes and grabbed my coat and grabbed a shirt as I went out. Everyone was peaking their heads out and I had to tell them there is a fire since they dont do tests at 6 am. Well, one lady on my floor lives there with her two kids so I had to help take her daughter outside, who is in nothing more then pampers and a fleece blanket. That poor fucking kid was fucking freezing. I did everything I could to get her covered up, including using my coat and shirt. Anyhoo, once I was outside and we got the kids into a car to warm up, I went in my car and went to QT to take a piss. I was really pissed and I had to take a piss. Later when I conveyed my thought to one of the RA people about just letting it go in the parking lot and they said that would not have been smart I said "everyone needs a little wang at 6am to brighten up their life."
Well, when I got back I had to get a key since I was locked out. Turns out I had my key in my coat but oh well. Anyhoo, the guy who started the fire was talking to the cop. I asked the cop if he was going to cuff him and the cop looked at me and I said "Arrest him for disturbing the peace" he gave me this "You do your job Ill do mine" look. Fucking pig. Waking my ass up should be capital crime! The guy was cooking breakfast and the smoke got out of hand. Sample conversation:
PigCop: Do you have renters insurance?
Man: What in allahs name?
Cop: Renters Insurance?
Man: Insoo? By allah I dont understand.
Cop: DO. YOU. HAVE. INSURANCE?
Man: Oh praise allah no!
You know what that means? It means because of yet another stupid fucking import student, a shitload of people that awoke to being soaked are SOL. Sure, if they have RI they will be okay, but it will go against them (try getting home owners right now if you have 2 claims against you in the last 3 years in Kansas, aint gonna happen). Oh, Im not kidding about the allah part. WSU == Middle East safe haven; one of the original Twin Tower bomber guys had his student visa for this school.
So, after I come back with my key, the god damned apartment director doesnt know what to do. She reads the form "Okay so now I need $5" and I said "The fuck you do" and she and the cop looked at me. Luckily some guy that works the desk (student) says "No, not if there is a fire" which I followed with a "Youre god damned right not if." I turned around and walked away and came up here to turn on all my god damned shit again.
Also, somewhere in there I learned that the reason they dont allow mail for people with wrong names is because so many people try to live here that dont actually live here. What kind of shanty town am I staying in? Also, aparently the guy who set the alarms off, does not even live in that apartment.
So, SHACKPOLL: What should the punishment be for someone who does this shit? I say flogging, expulsion from school and building, and a public apology to everone!

Unwinder's attempts to unlock additional 4 pixel pipelines in RADEON 9500 64MB have succeeded at last, so his SoftR9700 patch script can turn any 128-bit R9500 into 9500PRO and any 256-bit R9500 into R9700 without soldering the resistor on the R300 GPU and without loosing warranty!

Work safe. I'm not a big fan of Catherine Zeta Jones. She's a bit too uppity for me and would benefit tremendously from a Lamp/Dirtbox combo. However, this picture make me touch myself.
