by Steve Gibson, Feb 20, 2003 7:24am PSTWelp, strangely there are like 5 GameStop's within about 10 miles of where I live which is pretty cool, and the 5th one that I called ended up having a guy who actually was a Shacker (!!!) and held a copy of Splinter Cell for me. I'm up to the CIA headquarters mission after playing last night, and it is indeed great stuff. I agree with the GameSpot review for the most part from what I've played so far. The thought of possible new missions being released is way cool. For some reason even though I left out my Oreos they dont seem to be getting stale a bit like I like them. Sometimes life really is rough, but I'm fighting through it and dealing the best way I can, whining on my website. :~( Oh speaking of Splinter Cell, I think that patch is due for release in the next day or two. Supposedly it makes the game "look better" and improves performance a bit along with catching a few corner case AI problems. I havent run into any yet. movie: ...now go away before I taunt you a second time!

my roommate has a A7N8X-DELUXE motherboard, he's been running ddr333 for the past week waiting for his ddr400 to come it. it was working like a champ. he gets his ddr400 today, pops it in, and computer goes bust. it stales booting into XP and reboots.
is there something he needs to set in the bios for the new ram? bad ram? clear the cmos? (i'm a bit of a hardward n00b.)
any ideas would be much appreciated.

Followup:
Dear God, I remember when I had my appendix removed when I was 11~ and they made me count dowanethesia].. "10..9..8..7..-------" but this time, knowing I wasn't in an emergency procedure I tried to stay awake just to fuck with my body. Obviously, it didn't work but I loved the feeling of how my senses began to shut down in sequence of importance.. When I woke up I heard the staff bring in my Mom, and hearing was the only thing I could do. I think I was in an almost unconscious state for an hour or so in limbo of a functioning state. When I proceeded to sit up I immediatly began to heave, considering I had nothing in my stomach, it was disgusting pain. I went back into a horizontal position for a bit longer before I was actually able to sit up, and they replaced the gauze and placed me in a wheelchair. The whole ride home I felt nauseous, and pondered what people driving by thought of me. Balloon faced child with down syndrome perhaps? Once home I attempted eatincream of wheat], which failed miserably. I felt the tiny particles of wheat penetrating the new void in my gumline and recoiled immediatly. I'd image the pain to be equal to having cramps in my mouth. I'm a pussy to toof pain, what can I say? My Mom began to persist that I eat a modest amount in order to take the pain killervicodin]. And, so I did. As I'm typing this I'm comatosed on Vicodin, it's as if I'm in another state of mind. I'm beginning to become weary so I suppose I'll go back to hibernating until my Mom gets back from getting me Split Pea SouPea Soup Anderson's!]. fin

Okay - back from the test - and this prof is a FUCKING DICK
The format: His craptasticly old blank maps. Everything on the map is numbered and crowded together. Countries, States, Cities, Island Groups, Mountains, EVERYTHING just is numbered. Then, the answer page just has a bunch of random stuff (at least sectioned off) and it wants the # from the blank map. Here are the problems:
* Multiple dots and shit quality. Lets take Panama City for example. On the blank page he had a dot where Panama city is, another dot RIGHT NEXT TO IT, and then there is the canal. All three #s were written side by side so even if you knew which of the two DOTS it was (because I just studied general location + city name), you still couldnt get the right fucking #!
* Shit was on the map that wasnt on the list. For example, the only things in France that we were supposed to know was the Seine River and Paris. He put all kinds of other dots and shit and other rivers there. Thats just being a DICK.
* Here is the pisser. He asked where Belfast is. Umm - acording to the instructions for Map Test 1 - the only things to know in England are: London, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland. NO WHERE DOES IT SAY BELFAST ON THE INSTRUCTIONS! You mother fucking cock sucking son of a dirty uzbekistany bitch! Sure I know where Belfast is but it wasnt on the top of my brain. What other shit did he ask that wasnt specifically on the study ilst? FUCK IF I KNOW.
Probably a mid B on the test thanks to "extra credit"
I would have rather just labeled EVERYTHING I KNEW and not just a random sample. I will say Im proud of myself for knowing all the shit I knew real well - the only exception was the soviet bloc.

A certain heathen came to Shammai and said to him, Make me a proselyte, on condition that you teach me the whole Torah while I stand on one foot. Thereupon he repulsed him with the rod which was in his hand. When he went to Hillel, he said to him, What is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbor: that is the whole Torah; all the rest of it is commentary; go and learn. Talmud, Shabbat 31a

We did not analyze the smaller SUVs you mention because, at the time of
our study, there were not enough of them on the road to get reliable
numbers. However, we have done a preliminary analysis of four
so-called
"cross-over" SUVs as a group: RAV4, CR-V, Lexus RX300, and Subaru
Forester, using data from 1999-01. (They are considered cross-over by
the industry as they are built on car, rather than truck, bodies.) We
find that, as a group, these cross-over SUVs have risks much lower in
both dimensions than conventional, truck-based SUVs, and are on par
with the risks we estimate for import luxury cars.

i think i actually had it working well before i did, but the problems with a few of the other group's routers made it seem like it wasn't working.
