I called tigerdirect and they said amd has cancelled the promotion for now but they will be sending emails to everyone with cancellations explaining the situation and suuposedly offering instructions on how to get a similar deal in the near future.
While i have no idea if the guy knew what he was talking about, i cant beleive amd would screw us over like this, i mean people with much later order number recieved theirs while i waited anxiously for several days only to recieve a "cancellation".
oh well, wait and see like usualy. and here i was getting my hopes up.

So for the longest time, prolly since my PC became obsolete (PIII 650) I've said, that's it, I've had it with PC games. XBOX and GC is all I need! And I've done ok. So work provided me with a new kickass laptop, and I picked up UT2K4, and I forgot about my beloved FPS on PC. Damn you PC. You really know how to run a FPS :(

I consider myself VERY well versed in Transact-SQL, I've done alot of developemnt with it. However. I never find the need to use INNER and OUTER, or even RIGHT. I think a right join is implicit, obviously I see the use for a left join, but can someone explain exactly what uses these would have? I've written thousands of queries and stored procedures, and have never really had the use for these. Help!?

Why the hell can't Microsoft follow standards? Why should I, as a web developer, be forced to spend hours attempting to hack in a fix so that my page displays properly in IE when it already displays properly in Opera/Mozilla/Konqueror?
Sure, IE's more forgiving of bad code, but that's no excuse for not following proper code.
Bah.

we've got the doom 3 boxes, cd (and yes, DVD editions, regardless of what Todd Holleshead said about no DVD version a while back) cases, manuals, and pamphlets allready to go....... The boxes you see for the preorder look NOTHING like the actual retail boxes..... they have a much better image on them and no poly-ated looking hell knight......
Activision gave us word that we should be expecting copies of CD's to fill the orders with within the next 7 days, and they have allready confirmed the game has gone gold, but id software themselves will not state this until thursday or friday of this week"

it's been rumored for a few months that dutch powerhouse PSV eindhoven have been eyeing american international winger damarcus beasley. reports say they've already made at least one offer to MLS for him (around 2mil euros), but all offers thus far have been rejected. the way i understand it, beasley and everyone around him is pretty pissed at MLS (the league owns all player contracts in the MLS, so all offers go through them) for not letting him go, and the possibility of a move actually happening was starting to fade. anyway, new reports are coming in that PSV have upped their offer, and things are looking very promising for little vin beasel.

please please please MLS, let him go. i understand he's a big domestic draw, but it's better for him, better for the national team, and better for those who are looking to make a career out of the game. if they see americans making the move across the pond for bigger and better things, that's all the more motivation for them to work just that much harder. likewise, if beasley does well in holland, it may make more people in europe sit up and take notice of the nice league we've put together over here in the states. tim howard, claudio reyna, john o'brien, steve cherundulo, carlos bocanegra and others are all doing well in europe, and there's no reason why beasley shouldn't be allowed the same opportunity.

update: still awesome
malloc and I went on a raid with some horde into a Night Elf city. Our little group decimated all these mid teens/low 20's PC's. It was fantastic revenge for Hillsbrad. Once we got to the city thou I went to go kill some night elf child and a guard appeared. Then he called 15 more guards and well our party got a bit fucked up :(
even thou no real pvp stuff is implemented its fun to just beat up on other PC's once in a while. Poor malloc almost got raped several times by rogues/druids hiding in the trees. But together he and I kicked their asses. Well until he was running down the road and hit a lvl 31 mage + friends. He didn't last so long. I just stood there invisible watching him go down
