by Maarten Goldstein, Feb 11, 2005 4:56am PSTWeekend again. I think I'll go see Meet The Fockers. The first one wasn't exactly DVD worthy, but it definitely had its moments. If it's 90 minutes of entertainment again that's just fine. STFU Alec. Also on FileShack

Please help me out, I'm at a friends, and my car suddenly won't start.
I tried starting it, and the lights flickered on, then went off, just like would happen in a burnt out light bulb. When i turn the key, i don't get a click, or hear the engine turn over. I have no idea what this could be.
I've never had any electrical problems, so i'm not really sure where to start. I'd love it if this is something i could replace myself or with the help fo a friend.
Any ideas what it could be?

I've already created a spreadsheet to classify soldiers, but what I need is a way to read in the hex values from soldier.dat in the savegame folder, and create a comma-delimited file for use with that spreadsheet. That way I could import the values, apply the formula, then go back into soldier.dat and put the info I need into the name field.
http://hatfarm.xcomufo.com/soldier.html describes the offsets in question, so I wouldn't even have to spend time reverse-engineering the file. All the info I need is there, I just need a way to gather soldier stats into an Excel-readable table.

I finally got off my ass and updated the list to reflect the latest state. It was actually a little disappointing moving only one book up only one slot in the queue. I figured by now the books would have gone through at least 4 people for each book.
But anyway, if you have them and are finished reading them, please send off as soon as you can. I think it would be awesome if we can get it through the list and then have the books returned to their original owners with a ton of shack signatures. That would be a cool way of saying "thanks" to lacker, Pink0r, and ckj for being cool and sending their book around to everyone.

BUT, if you get the iPaq phones, or the crackberries, or the sidekick then even though it uses the same god damned network, you are paying $20/mo to use the GPRS network connection. So, buy a nicer phone and pay more. I really wanted to get my sister a Sidekick so she could email me more and we could keep in touch now she is in Dallas. However, I can't afford to pay $20/mo for a service she will barely use.
Also, Cell phone stores are stupid. If you sell cell phones, you can have the worthless plastic display models out. Thats fine. But every phone you sell you should have so that the user can feel and use it. I went through too many phones because they looked good on paper but failed in practicality. Im not making the same mistake twice, which is why I am going to end up with 4 Nokia 6600s on my plan.

First of all thank God the kid is alright (seems to be...) and what a whacko woman but the first image that came to my mind was this woman walking on the side of the road and a baby comes flying out of a car and she dives and catches it like Terell Owens. "INTERCEPTION!"

A while back in a "grammar errors you hate" thread, I posted that I hated mis-pluralizations of numbers, letters, etc. For example, "7" is pluralized as "7s," "not "7's." "x" is pluralized as "xs," not "x's."
I was then told by another Shacker that I was wrong, and the apostrophe was correct. Convinced I was not wrong, I replied so. They told me that the Chicago Manual Of Style supported their viewpoint.
Well, I finally got the chance to look the rule up in our company's copy of the Chicago Manual Of Style, 14th edition. And it backs me up. No apostrophe on plural numbers, letters, decades, etc. (There are other rules for specialized situations such as the plural of "Mr." or "Ph.D.".)
So there. I don't remember who you were, but you lied to me in a grammar-Nazi thread. Don't do that >:(.
And for you pluralizers out there, remember to write "I Love The 80s," not "I Love The 80's."
That is all.

Our revenues are growing, slowly and surely, but basically, we could not afford to pay someone $50 for each time he takes pictures. We have an idea however, to contact local colleges, esp art schools, to see if they would help find us students who would work for us, as an unpaid intern...basically, they get free admission to the club ,plus their friends, and they would get a stellar recommendation...do you think a school would go along with us? i guess im worried cause we are a really small co..

Grand Touring class. Which car should I use? I'm pretty positive I used the 575M Maranello last time. Anything better in that class? Keep in mind I'm a shitty ass driver so I need a good handling car that has an acceleration advantage for when I slam into walls. :(
Lotus Espirit V8
Aston Martin Vanquish
Ferrari 575M Maranello
Mercedes SL55 AMG
