Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Jul 20, 2004 5:38pm PDTSo over the weekend I visited Disney MGM and Universal Studios in Florida back to back with my dad and brother. Universal is easily better in case you had any doubts. The newfangled Mummy ride is great stuff although just a little too short. Space Mountain still wins overall for rides like that. I give it a 8.3212654 give or take 2-3 points.

Somehow, I have to sell this idea to the female that lives in my house and gives me teh sehx on a regular basis.
How do I make my arguement to her?
Keep in mind that I usually frown when she wants to make purchases greater than $100 dollars for things I think are silly (like purses and clothes). Unfortunately for me, she is not a gamer, so she wouldn't think of this as an important purchase.
ARGHH! I wanna play DooM 3 in all it's glory!!!

Who the fuck are these guys? :) Sometimes I wish radio stations would mention the singer & song name before and after a song. I spent the last couple months thinking that was a Linkin Park song. :)
P.s. It's on iTunes too. Woo! :)

My fondest memories were riding my bike down to the burger stand to get a rootbeer float and play the video games they had there... Elevator Action, Galaga, Donkey Kong Jr, and Mrs PacMan...
Those were good times, I had to have been in 4-5th grade at the time, no worries, no stress, just being a kid...
I was just thinking about that while sitting here Shacking and sipping on a roootbeer float...

So that will be full release candidate status, but good to hear, hopefully wouldn't take too long to go gold after that.
It's going to be a pretty fucking cool couple of months we've got coming up.

I have a text file with the following:
http://www.blah.com
phttp://www.blah.com
I'm trying to select only the first line with the following regexp
[^p]http
but it doesn't work. Strangely, if I include a few spaces before the http:// in the text file it seems to work properly. I'm guessing it has something to do with the start of the line but i'm not sure. Just curious why this is going on.

1) Is this true?
2) If so, why? I tought id was always behind the shareware movement. If I remember correctly, the fastest way to get Quake was dl or buy a demo CD and unlock it.

there will be plenty of vehicles, including maps that focus mainly on vehicle combat. A Bespin Cloud City battle is built around one team using X-Wings and the other using TIE Fighters to fight for control of the spawn points.
Pandemic wants vehicles to be powerful enough so that if you see an AT-AT walker coming your way, you're going to be tempted to just run. However, you can't capture locations from within a vehicle, so don't expect to get away with simply parking an AT-AT over an enemy flag (although this wouldn't be a bad idea since walkers function as mobile spawn points). Also, some of the maps will have unique tricks to balance the vehicles. On Endor, computer-controlled Ewoks run around setting up log traps to smash unwary AT-ST scout walkers.

I use iTunes on both my home and work machine. I use my iPod to go back and forth between the two. Now my problem is that if I download some music on my home machine, put it on my iPod, then plug it into my work machine, the work machine deletes any music it doesn't happen.
This is bad. How do I avoid this?
