Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Mar 26, 2003 5:01pm PSTGot myself a splitting headache for most of the day today, and it felt like the guys doing the lawn in my apt complex decided to let the mower sit right outside my window idling for like 30 minutes. Oh that new Spyhunter trailer looks pretty cool. I always sucked at that game but spent so many quarters on it... usually while waiting on a spot on the Gauntlet machine. :) Oh check these out:
- Google not to IPO, they are too lazy! - eBay scammers anyone? - Keyboard cooties! - Dog translator on the way - Another enhanced dialup idea - Domain trixters going to prison - A big stellar eruptionLastly, because its cool to jinx stuff, we'll be launching the FileShack referral system tomorrow afternoon/evening assuming everything goes as planned. Obviously by me posting this it wont! Here is how it will work:
Refer 1 friend = 1 month free service Refer 4 friends = 6 months free service Refer 6 friends = 1 year free service Top referrer of the month = $50 EB gift certificate Top referrer of the year = TBAThe counts will reset each calendar month, and to be clear if you refer 4 people you'll get 6 months of free service total. I'm still doing some pondering and shuffling over the top referrer of the year, I'm hoping for something pretty good. :)

my friends barton 2500+ .. AQUCA stepping.. hes been running it at 2.3ghz...
i just googled it...
some guy has a 2800+ AQUCA runnig at 3.4 FUCKING GHZ.. not 3400+, 3464MHZ..
although it says he has LN2 cooling..
highest air cooled one on that site is 2.6ghz.. still impressive, jesus..
wtf is that about? did this come out in late 97 or something? the latest 95 i heard of was osr2 (man, osr2 was the shit.. it was like a huge upgrade back in the day...)
I walked into Best Buy yesterday and they had 3 shelves full of Zelda: Wind Waker. So I bought myself a GC and the game. The last time I preordered was for Grand Theft Auto: VC. I wound up going to Best Buy on release day and picking one up one there anyway, because I had my preorder shipped 2nd day by mistake. Point being...when was the last time a game was actually not available in stores?
So other than saying "OOH OOH I got it and you don't neener neener..." for a whole day or two, I don't get it...Can someone fill me in here?

His answer, "Over the years, the United States has sent many of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for in return is enough to bury those that did not return."
It became very quiet in the room.

My Zelda is passing through cowtown as we speak and should arrive here today or early tomorrow! Delicious!
Last night I formatted my machine in a violent fit of rage regarding http://www.shacknews.com/ja.zz?id=7072027 .I've turned on the game, and aside from the lagged mouse and 60hz refresh rate, it is indeed running at 1024x768 quite reliably. Tonight I shall Ghost my Windows partition and begin attempting to make the game playable (I don't know what it is with the delayed mouse; refresh rate fixers have always solved this). So for when I inevitably take the wrong step and put myself back to square 1, I will have a Ghost image ready to push back when I fuck it up. So far, good times. I want to enjoy this game so much, and I am half way there.
A side note, is I think I made record time in backing up, wiping out and reloading windows and all applications/utilities in 1 hour and 25 minutes. Let this be a lesson to everyone out there: Make a partition on your drive for *ONLY* Windows, and stay away from Program Files as your installation directory for anything other than utilities like WinRAR, WinBAR, TextPad, etc..

The camera view is obviously from a long long way away, so you can imagine the scope of this bomb. Packs quite a wallop. I said wallop
And yes it is in real player sadly.
