there's this kid in my database class that just stares at me for the entire class. and not like subtley staring... i sit in the back, on the other side of the room from where th prof lectures and he fuckin stares at ME with the most bizarre look on his face. i'd say he's gay but that can't possibly be it, that would be too reasonable. and whenever i take out my phone to look at the time... 15 seconds later he'll do the exact same thing.
jesus christ it's too early to be dealing with, let alone figuring out, shit like that at 7am >:|

Is there any system in place that protects newbies from playing against high-level players that started new accounts? My first 5 games were all against high-levels with fresh Level 1 accounts and it wasn't fun.

An Oregon man arrested last week for trying to arrange a mass Valentine's Day suicide had been preying on vulnerable women online for five years, police said yesterday.
Gerald Krein, 26, was charged with solicitation to commit murder after a Canadian woman who joined a chat room called "suicide ideology" tipped off police. /]
Why is this a crime?

-What is GemRB?
It is an open source reimplementation of the Infinity Engine (tm) created by the game designer company called Bioware. GemRB is capable of running the original games based on IE, including their mods. As well as running customised engine variations and brand new game content.
-Can I actually play with GemRB?
Yes, most definitely you can play with it. Though this isn't considered real 'gameplay'.
You can generate a character, walk around in areas and talk. You can try to improve the GUI scripts (effectively write the game). You can report bugs. You can start implementing a new game. For some people this is entertaining. If you are a pure gamer and only wish to play the original games on Linux, you'll have to wait.

1) They aren't really automatic. I mean, even though I tell windows to just download and install cause I don't give a shit, it still waits for me to click the bubble and click next and agree to the EULA.
2) When I do this and it wants to reboot, it bugs the living FUCK out of me. It just won't shut the fuck up about wanting to reboot. I HAVE 2 DOWNLOADS GOING, WAIT TILL TOMORROW FUCKER!
3) Slide the reboot window off to another monitor and wait awhile. Whoops! "Updating your computer is almost complete. Your computer needs to be restarded for the updates to take effect. Windows will restart your computer automatically in 5:00 minutes." Uh, NO! I would have been PISSED if I would have woken up with my computer rebooted.
