Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Aug 25, 2004 7:01pm PDTSo I'm ditching SprintPCS for my cell network after all these years. What is funny is that I made a call to customer service because I wanted to change my plan to include more minutes (They took that option away on the website) and I ended up wanting to cancel after going through that ordeal. The guy was just an ass. :(

Throw out that silly kneebrace with magnets in it. - Fed cracking (not crapping) down on internet crimeLastly, videogame skanks showing their stuff in Playboy.

You thought it wouldn't come? You thought the pictures were it? You thought you know what happened at Quakecon? You want hot chicks? You want some ugly chicks? You want stories you haven't heard yet! YES EVEN YOU HAVE NOT HEARD THIS STORY YET! Okay, by now maybe you have.
I guess its time to go ahead and present to the world my quakecon writeup thread.

Great for those who have a slower connection, or who want to update their family/friends computers without having to wait for the update to download.
Note that this is the final consumer vesion of Service Pack 2 that has just begun to show up on Windows Update.

I just recently put together a Athlon 64 3200+ Shuttle SN85G4v2 with built in nforce3 lan, but the onboard lan seems to be having problems. Windows XP pro constantly flashes a notice saying that the "network cable is unplugged" and I'm unable to get anykind of connection on the network. The only way I've been able to get it to work is to turn off auto-negotiation on the built in lan, but which gets really piss-poor speeds. However the $15 NIC card from my old pc works without any problems at all. Installing the latest nforce drivers has not helped at all. Any ideas?

Of course, it was on a 52" screen, so that helps immensely. I couldn't tolerate it on a 27" or anything.
P.S - Do people still play Top Spin? I grabbed it used for $25 and I see it's got Live play.

There was a little blurb in the Swedish Metro paper this morning saying that 10 Nobel Prize winning economists have written an open letter to the American people advising them to vote for Kerry over Bush. This has comedy written all over it. Anyone know where I could find a copy of the letter online? Google gave me nothing.

We have a few machines here at work we'd like to have revert to an old state about once a week, and I was thinking that if system restore reverted the entire hd to an old setting, I could just use task scheduler to automate this with little effort required on my part. The other alternative is to ghost the drive every week, but that requires me to actually do this six times for each machine. Anyways, it was just a thought.

So im stuck at work, and im forced to browse the web using Internet Explorer. Now this isnt any old Internet Explorer. Its a version of Internet explorer, which predates time. Im stuck using version 5.5.
Now as you all well know there are far better browsers out there than Internet Explorer. Mainly that known as Firefox. Now being a nerd I really want to use firefox. However, due to the company I work for being bastards, i cant download anything other than webpages, or pictures. So i come to you for help. Would some kindly soul grab the zip of firefox, rename it to .jpg, and host it for me
thanking you all!

Damn that thing is nice! I've never spent the money on a really nice case, and I was really impressed by it. I may buy another one to redo my computer as well.
Anyone seen it already?
