by Maarten Goldstein, Mar 07, 2005 5:01am PSTOther things yesterday prevented me from playing Mercenaries for very long, but I have to say that things do blow up very nicely in the game. So there you have it, my 5 minute impressions: stuff blows up. Had some requests recently for a few additions to our news feed, you can find an updated XML here. It now includes part of the news item, and the exact date/time. Also on FileShack
- Forgotten Hope 0.65/0.66 to 0.67 patch - 545mb of new content for this Battlefield 1942 mod.
- Forgotten Hope 0.67 server - server files for Windows & Linux.
Isn't he notorious for being a bit of a rowdy guy? I could only imagine the hilarity ensuing if they kidnapped him.

So my MX700 has accumulated large quantities of dust and has ceased proper operation. It was double clicking when I only intended to single click. The contacts were corroded and it wouldn't charge right anymore.
I called logitech at this number 702-269-3457 gave them my pn/sn/mn etc and they're shipping me a new mouse, no questions asked, no return necessary. SWWWEEET!!
p.s. Don't be an ass and ruin this for those of us who actually have busted mice.

the battle is won. and here it ends, not with a bang, but with a whimper.
I scoop, and he runs, and I scoop more, and he runs more. Finally [...] I force him onto the paper with the magazine by scooping with one, and catching with the other. A tactic obviously not expected by the Spider, or else he surely would've countered with a "go-for-the-eyes manuvere." I brought the paper over the toilet [...] and tilted the paper so he fell the two feet into the water.

i used to have a much older audigy 2zs driver that this just worked on, but it seems something changed and i cant find any copies of the old software/driver or remember which one it was.
i hit the control panel and select 'external decoder' on/off etc.
i've got a decoder attached that works when i play a dvd i get 5.1 sound, but if i fire up half-life 2 or any of those example audio files, only the front channels and sub channel work. yes i selected 5.1 sound within half-life 2. :(

I'm trying to ditch my Sidekick 2, I leave the online features very under-used. And I hope to save $20/mo when I cancel my data plan. I'm looking for a damn good 'normal phone.' However, bluetooth is a must. Having it unlocked it a must also. I'll be using it with T-Mobile for now, at least.
I can get a S700i cheaper and more easily than the S710a, however I'll be losing a frequency. Will that hurt my reception here in the US with T-Mobile? If not, I'll be more willing to get one. The FM sounds neat, but I'm not sure it's a solid advantage over a S710a.
The S710a's look nicer (black), have more usable frequencies, and have EDGE support. However, T-Mobile doesn't have EDGE, correct?
Does anyone have links to REAL (not marketing) pics of the phones?
If anyone has any insight on these questions, please reply!

Yes, I'm thinking about creating a clone site sort of like freeipods.com
What's different? I want to offer an assortment of prizes, not just ipods.
Do I have capital? Yes, about $10,000
What do I need help with from the shack?
I need someone to think of a name for the company/site. It should ring a bell, be catchy, and be short. It can include stuff like free, gear, prize, etc. It just cant be too long. USE CHECKDOMAIN.COM to make sure the domain isn't taken or else it's useless to me.
Also, any jokes and fake submissions will be revoked so please just dont post non sense.
The prize? The best name from a shacker wins $100 PayPal.
So go at it, thanks for all the help.

I need to rename 300 files with different prefixes etc. I know there's free apps for this but I'll just do it in DOS if it's not doable in xp. I can't do this within Windows at all?

reposted from yesterday evening!
I've not posted anything like this on here for months, mostly because I've managed to record nothing in the last 8 months or so, but last week I did!
I am really quite happy with how this turned out. So, feel free to download! If you want to tell me it sucked, feel free to!

My buddies and I are trying to play the new version of GTA2 over the internet. Two of them can play with eachother fine ( www.jpop.se/E38S6157.jpg ) but I can't connect to either of them and they can't connect to me. My firewall is turned off. I open the 'GTA2 Manager' window and hit in the ip and connect, then just a blank window. No feedback or anything! I can play Counterstrike and other games/apps just fine.
This is the same guy I have major trouble talking on MSN with-- sometimes he can't hear me at all and we have to call instead. Then it myusteriously starts working again for a few hours. We are on the same ISP in the same city and even have the first two groups in our ip numbers identical.
Any clues? I will do anything to get GTA2 working, it's such an awesome game which is even more awesome in multiplayer, SRLSY. You can download it free from rockstars site btw. We should do shack battles!

So when I joined the team and they set me loose on my first couple of assignments, I had to figure out which module did what. So the first person I went to was my "mentor," a guy who went to PSU too and joined the company a couple years ago. Well he had never used it. So then I went to my supervisor. He didn't know the details, even though the code I was working on was written by him and it used the module in question. So I go across the hall to the "guy you can go to when you have ANY question." and he didn't know. So finally I pick through the sparse documentation and find out who was on the team that wrote the module itself and ask them, and finally the manager of the team gets back to me and tells me how it works. Cool.
The thing is this has happened with like five components already, and each time it has gone mentor-strike! supervisor-strike! guy across hall-strike! original team leader-HOME RUN! I can only hope that soon there is another new guy in the hallway so that he can work his way down the offices and I'll be the guy to answer the questions and that this will help my value to the company. Because I never seem to get credit for nailing down all this stuff everyone else cut 'n' pastes... :(

Alan Parsons - A Valid Path
Featuring collaboration with Shpongle (!!), The Crystal Method, David Gilmour (of Pink Floyd) etc...
I've been listening to the album non-stop since then and it is really, really good. My favourite so far is Return To Tunguska, the first track and the collaboration with Shpongle. Worth the price of the album alone. Here's a clip: http://www.parsonics.com/avp_mp3/tunguska_clip.mp3
You can find mp3 clips of all the songs along with commentary from Parsons on the official site: http://www.alanparsonsmusic.com/avp/traklist.html

Found a super duper bar in Baltimore, the Thirsty Dog.
http://www.pubcrawler.com/Template/ReviewWC.cfm/flat/BrewerID=103380
Their homebrew beers are 2 for $3, and they are most excellent. Not to sound like a queer, but the Blueberry Dog is the best stuff ever. The pizzas and salads are great too, not to mention a great atmosphere (dogs are allowed).
Any Shackers in the area interested in joining me for a couple brewskies this Saturday evening?

I know about the Hierarchy Rule (which undercounts crime) is there anything else im missing? As far as overcounting, it seems they count attempts as an actual crime, so i guess that's something.
i need someone to drop some knowledge on my ignorant ass.
Search has failed me. A week or 2 back someone posted a url that listed summaries of all available enchantments by item slot. Anyone have that link?
Related weapons enchantment question? Im trying to choose an enchant for my 2H mace, and have to decide between +9 dmg and Icy Chill. Ive ruled out Crusader because as a druid healing isnt a problem, fiery weapon because the dmg bonus is too infrequent compared to the +9 dmg every hit.
Icy Chill sounds good (70% movement slow, 20% attack speed hit) but Im not sure what the duration is. Anyone have hard numbers?
