Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Jun 09, 2003 5:30pm PDTAs far as Monday's go this one was um... not very Monday like. Ok I guess it's kind of like a Monday since I forgot to take out the trash again which seems like a pretty typical Monday. I also distinctly recall yesterday being Sunday which also generally precedes Monday... I'm going to have to discuss this with Maarten and get back to you guys. Look at this stuff for now:
- Video of Gollum accepting his MTV award - Cops and car thieves - Survivor fans rejoice, Jenna and Heidi boobies soon - I'm gonna start using Kodak! - Cursive could be gone soon! YAY! - Smoking Gun getting famousLastly, been doing a bit of hunting for a new place to live (I swear the woman and I are like geek nomads) and I've found a pretty handy way to test for DSL connections if you know the address of a place but not the phone number. Hit whitepages.com and hit the lookup by address function. Then slap in the street and city but dont put the actual address number (leave it blank). 9 times outa 10 there will be at least one neighbor with a listed number you can test.. just pick the closest one. You obviously wont get an exact test but it's a heck of a lot better than nothing. You can then test the line using your favorite tool, broadbandreports or speakeasy etc.

poor guys on the radio (NHL.com feed/westwood 1) were all in a pissy mood because brodeure didnt get the MVP award.. "but he got 7 shutouts, a new playoff record!!"
they even asked him about it in a quick interview after they got the cup, basically said "he deserved it, but this is the only cup that matters" [the stanley cup]
and the stupid announcers were still crying saying the jersey goalie should have had it
boo fucking hoo... he didnt sweep the previous cup champions, and totally own the other teams in the previous 3 series

I played around with the bots on my team and the other team, they used the radio a bit at appropriate times (they at least use the command enemy spotted), and the enemy bots don't seem to wallhack or have this all knowing presence about them, if you are quiet and behind a bot they don't pull instant 180 headshots on you. but then again if you make noise or shoot at them they will figure it out pretty quick on the harder settings.

I colored Matrix Revolutions like I did because I want the movie trilogy to follow the branding RGB. So far we have this. All we need is for the last movie to be branded in red. (not the movie itself, but the logos, posters, etc)

i bought a copy of macos 8 off a mac freak i work with.. well, bought is a loose term, he gave me it in exchange for a 16mb edo simm hes going to stick in an old lciii or something.
i started off playing with basilisk and using macos 7.5.3, which is on the apple ftp site (!) .. that was cool and all so i wanted to get something newer, but it only emulates 68k cpus, so macos 8 is the highest i can go apparently...

Manual Vs Auto transmission performance (specifically acceleration and top speed)
I'm getting into an argument about it, I think a person driving a manual would have the clear advantage after sitting in my friends Integra (auto) and watching my other friends Festiva (manual) crush him.
I'll probably just end up racing him sometime in my Sunfire (manual), he's driving a crappy Geo-prism (auto).

I'm guessing the most vocal sorts out there must have small hands/arms or something.
To say that the Xbox controller was one of the dumbest moments in gaming history is to me, dumb. Especially when there's that hideous GC controller...
They should have criticised what really sucked about it, the D pad. The rest of it was great. But the D-pad from the S is far more accurate. If I'm playing something that requires total digital accuracy, like THPS4, I'll throw on my PS2 controller with adapter.
I tend to play more third person/car/fps games though, so I prefer the analogue stick action/shape of the Xbox controller over the PS2. Especially those lovely triggers. The best controller brake/accelerate combo ever.

When Dell decides to fuck up your order and send a laptop with WSXGA monitor instead of the sexy WUXGA type.. plus, supply a 4200rpm disk instead of the 5400rpm disk.
Oh, well -- atleast I'm going to get compensated with some hot stuffs (memory stick keyring and extra battery or something along those lines)
