Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Sep 09, 2004 6:09pm PDTI just had a party today with reboots as my machine suddenly started to randomly reboot and crash. Turns out that the SPD on my ram was a little too aggressive and my P4 machine never really noticed. The switch to an Athlon64 though seems to have taken notice though. That one sure was boggling...

Have you been having fun in the Closed Beta? Stress Test?
If so, make sure to /suggest in game that you DO NOT LIKE the new tradeskilling changes. They are really really really bad.
Comprehensively, we CAN change the game's path to becoming UN-FUN and interesting.
Do you want to see an MMORPG where you can ONLY have two tradeskills? Do you like being railroaded? Of course not.
Please /suggest in game to leave it nearly the way it is. If you want to have many gathering skills, you should be able to. Now you can do LESS, the economy will be further restricted, and casual gamers just got kicked square in the teeth. In fact, non-guild people are now basically incapable of having fun.
SO, PLEASE take the time to give feed back IN GAME with the /suggest feature.

A dad says he bought a computer for his son only to find kiddie porn on the hard drove. (sic) The computer came from the Sam's Club on Aurora Avenue in North Seattle.
I always knew Sam's Club (part of WalMart) was evil!
But there's a curious note. When the man brought the computer back, the son told the clerk -- not only did he see the photos -- but he recognized some of his classmates in them. The boy also said he might know who the suspect is.
What a coincidence...or is it? Weird, heh.

Walt Disney Co. chief executive Michael Eisner will leave the entertainment giant in 2006 when his contract expires, the company confirmed today.
Eisner's departure will end a turbulent two-decade relationship with the media giant.
Over the past year, Eisner's leadership abilities have been questioned by former Disney board members Roy E. Disney and Stanley Gold, who have led a campaign against Disney through their Web site, SaveDisney.com. The former board members said Eisner was responsible for turning the company in the wrong direction.

This could bring about some nice changes for disney, considering they're going to lose tons of interest after Pixar dumps them.

Ive got a 1994 Volvo 850. I wanna put my CD Player in. I searched Best Buy and Circuit City and Walmart for the faceplate/mounting kit/whatever thingy so it will fit in. BB and CC didnt have shit and Walmart only had the parts for GM and Ford cars. Anyone know of a good online place (or better yet, a regular store) that would carry these things? :(

I'm kinda sad to see these go but I really need the money, hopefully I won't have to end up selling my DS9 or X-Files. :(
Season 1 is 11 DVDs, Season 2 is 10 DVDs and by the way if you've heard about the glitches with the last DVD in Season 1, be glad to know I have the new fixed version of that.
I'd like $75 shipped a set (they are the complete seasons), the cheapest price I've found online is $89.99 so you're saving $15 a season for the same thing just not shrinkwrapped.
$140 if you buy both you'll be saving $40!
They're both in perfect condition bought them both new and they are not bootlegs.
I accept Paypal, money orders or checks.
