If a mod could +inf this that would be great.
For everyone who does freelance work on the shack, I have created a database for you. Sign up, submit your ad in the proper field of work and go from there. I will be expanding the site eventually, but this should be enough for what people need.
Head over to www.freelanceshackers.com .
I know there is an issue with the top logo, im working on that. If any graphic artists want to create one for me, that would be great :) If there are any questions or concerns or suggestions, email me tim@yaoguy.com. Thx

I buy a DVD ($16-22) and now I'm forced to watch previews for other movies, or some ad for the publishing house, that I can't skip to get to the menu?

We will be playing Battlefield 1942 with some custom Shack maps.
The games are small so we play small maps. The server is limited to 20 players.
Even though they are small we still manage to have a good time.
Long live BF1942!!

Put this in:
C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\My Documents\RCT3\Coasters
This is the actual track, so you can place it in the game. Granted you will probably only be able to place it in the Sandbox Mode or the Coaster Designer. Being the placement cost is about $93,000+

The best part of this movie is the fake ending. I can't recall any movies before this that used this particular gimmick, because for me the second ending reached perfection in Poltergiest.

I'm wanting one to play Champions: Call to Arms with three friends, and apparently Sony is only making the ones for the PStwo. The guy i talked to said the ports are slightly closer together on the PStwo, so the multitap isn't backwards compatible.
bah.

Sports and gf's, the fun never ends.
i was really seriously hoping that the steelers would beat the patriots, but its just confirming what i think i always knew
the patriots are unbeatable!
for some reason, these guys, none who are real superstars (except dillon), somehow mesh so well and play so great together - its ridiculous.
gg to the eagles too ... they deserve it.
Kiefer is on Actor's Studio right now! Quit watching the football game that is already over!
They are kicking my ass. They don't do a lot of damage, but my party is taking too long to kill them and they always kill me first. Do I need to go level up some more before I fight these guys or am I doing something wrong?

reading about this got me thinking.
I've heard of this disease mentioned many times when reffering to historical figures (for example I was watching a documentary series on the Tudors recently and it mentioned Gout a number of times as something that sapped the last of a persons life), in the sense that it was something that people commonly suffered from that we today know is easily preventable (like so many other diseases back then, I guess) - but once I understood what exactly it was to live with this disease I wondered how these people managed it? I could not find any information on what used to be treatment for this disease or others, and so I'm asking here if anyone is familiar with medicine in the middle ages and onwards.
But that got me thinking more deeply on the subject in general - how people dealt with disease back in the old days and how well they managed without it. Going by what I know it seems a suprise that any one of them survived to see full adulthood (say to their thirties or so) but there's frequent mention of people managing well into old age (Ramses the Great was ninetysomething when he karcked it, for example) - and it also seems that perhaps in antiquity people knew more about health and hygene then they did in the Middle Ages and in the Renaissance, because of the general idea that a lot of knowledge from the ancient world was lost by that period of time.
Thoughts, oppinions?

Ok, well, my internet has been pretty unstable ever since i moved to my new apartment. Pages quit loading halfway through, and i get disconnected from aim and msn all the time.
I don't think it's the service, because the other computer i have on the same connection is running fine.
I didn't change any settings when i moved, and i'm with the same provider (comcast) in a different city.
What are some possible things that could be causeing me problems? My mobo has an onboard LAN card. Could htere be a problem with something being bumped loose during the move? What should i be checking?
Thanks.

I've heard some good things about the Sony MDR-EX81's from evil-cow but then again someone else was quick to say they sucked. I'm going to be using them for running, sitting around doing nothing, and maybe snowboarding.
Is there anything else besides these sony's in my price range?

Look at said page in IE and in Firefox, the boxes aren't the same size in IE and in Firefox they look fine. I assume I am making a stupid mistake in the css, anyone know how I can fix this? Also a site that lists these goofy bugs and how to handle them would be super awesome as well since I have taking all my notes from w3schools.com.
