First Post!
by Maarten Goldstein, Jul 22, 2004 7:09am PDTSo much for thinking about getting an ATI videocard.. Yesterday finally saw the return of our FileShack Chicago server. Though we've done some tests where downloads work perfectly, its usage numbers are very inconsistent at the moment. Anyone out there try to download and run into any kind of problems? Please let us know. Movie: Dead? No excuse for laying off work.

Thanks
So far only this item and the lack of an integrated calendar are the drawbacks to Firebird over Outlook for me. And I know there's a project in the works for the latter.
You know, if the sales person fucks up, your order is cancelled? And did you know that they wont inform you that its cancelled?
Did you also know that the sales team cannot tell you that its cancelled? Only their customer service can. And did you also know that the customer service cant call the sales team?
Its really quite amazing

Wha? We have no idea how the X800 line is vs. the 6800 in Half-Life 2, as well as probably a dozen future titles that will be out late 2004/early 2005.
Honestly. Discounting an entire card line because of performance in one benchmark of one game is a little...

Too bad they don't have Guerrero anymore, tho.
Oh yeah, and Peter Angelos (Orioles owner) can suck a fat dick for being all "oh no, this area can't support 2 teams". The Baltimore-Washington Metro Area is the 4th most populous metropolitan area in the US, behind only NY (2 teams), LA (2 teams), and Chicago (2 teams).

We have a new filter and some old rules which never made it into the guidelines.
1) Under the copyrighted materials rules, do not post scans of magazines, except for the covers. We might make exceptions for really old articles (particularly old, obselete gaming articles), say, five years old or older. Under MP3's, we are more permissive regarding MP3's of music from games; they are generally allowed.
Also, a related reminder: Copyrighted videos, videos with unsanctioned copyrighted music, flash games with unsanctioned copyrighted music, and other stuff like that is still nuked.
2) Posting stupid stuff while drunk will result in a 24 hour "drunk tank ban". Sleep it off.
3) A reminder: We're not nuking most "hi guys" posts, since we want everyone to be friendly, but we are trying to deter people posting just to get first post. So the first few posts may be nuked if they're devoid of real content, including "hi guys" and the like.
4) A reminder: Insulting people, whether you dismissively call them a hippy or a warmonger, or insult their whole country, will result in a nuke and possibly a ban. We are cracking down on personal attacks in general, since they seem to have picked up a bit. And as always, good natured ribbing is allowed.
5) We will occasionally nuke posts on particular topics and ask the user to repost them in a preexisting thread, in order to prevent redundant monster threads. This is for organizational purposes only; no bans will be handed out for this.
6) WE HAVE A NEW FILTER. Sander Pilon, brilliant code monkey, has added the Politics/Religion filter. All political and religious discussion will be tagged as such. Note that other stuff--like sports, drugs, etc., will be tagged offtopic/tangent, unless it strays into politics (say, a discussion of drug legalization), when it will be tagged Politics/Religion. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR FILTERS ON THE OPTIONS PAGE.

Comment search came up with nothing which kind of surprised me. Its a very well done video with strangely hypnotizing music. The intro is kind of weak and its a 37meg download but its definately worth it.

I think tomorrow I'm going to pick up a new pair of headphones. My old pair has been broken for a long time and they were really low quality to begin with.
The problem is that I know absolutely nothing about headphones and what makes them good. I'll probably just drop by the radio shack. Here's a list of what I'm hoping the store will have in stock. Are any of these good? If not, where else would I buy headphones for a decent price (don't want to spend too much here).
