Attn Shack Womenz
Does anyone else get the feeling as though women in the community are becoming more and more accepted/known? I just feel as though this has become more of an accepted atmosphere for people overall. Most of the time we even avoid the "show us your boobies" or "pix plus divx" comments that seemed to plague the shack only a few catchphrases ago. Maybe its just my maturation hair where there was no hair before lolz but it seems to me that the femalekind are more accepted and welcome here in a "you're cool and part of the community" way than ever before.
Comments? Remarks? Obligitory pix + divx replies?

Is there a reason for this? Is it like this with all other MMOs? Are their actually technical problems associated with a MMO that warrants this extended downtime and weekly maintenance? Cuz seriously, I'll drop this shit at the end of my month and reclaim my life if this is sorted out FUCKING FAST.
I did a little math, and these boys must have made a TON of money on this game. You think with all those millions, they coul hire at least some good decent tech guys. I picture the blizzard execs, sitting around a roaring fire in the alps, drinking single malt scotch and smoking cuban cigars while ass raping cartoon cutouts of the typical blizzard user.
amirite?

"Google-GOOG toolbar inserts links to other sites, and that's a bad idea-WSJ
A new feature of the company's popular Google Toolbar for the Internet Explorer browser adds links right into the body of any Web page. The links lead to GOOG's own map site or to other sites Google selects. Such a feature is sure to anger the makers of the websites. :theflyonthewall.com "
Just saw that this morning on my news service but saw nothing on /. Adding their own links with their software inside web pages? Sounds like spyware and so unlike google.

It seems there is some nostalgia. This game went strong for YEARS and then in about 1-2 months of 2004 ... it just stopped. It was very weird and very random. So, REPLY WITH WHAT DAY IN THE NEXT WEEK, STARTING WITH TONIGHT THAT YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO PLAY. IF ITS EVERYDAY, SAY SO! BF1942 Vanilla only. Latest patches. I know some of you love DC, but we are talking straight BF1942. So, if you just want to play DC then reply to one of megera9's threads about folding DNA.
We also need a server to play on and a TS server to use

Ok so we just moved from a decent 4 1/2 to a gorgeous 5 1/2 condo this month. We signed a 16 months lease, until July 2006 basically. We were so excited and everything, we were planning on staying there a couple of years (4-5) until we can afford a house.
Then March 4th, we learned that the owner is selling it to another guy and we were meeting him the next day. The new owner came to visit us and also the condo. While we were showing him the place, I had a really bad feeling about all this, but before I could even think of scenarios, he tells us that he wants to move in and take our place. :o
I don't even know if this was all orchestrated from the beginning among them, so that the old owner does not lose rent money or whatnot. I'm so insanely pissed off right now, we also paid like $625 to the movers, $50 transfer fee per service (electricity, internet, satellite, phone, etc).
So are we screwed or can we get some kind of help somewhere? Btw I'm in Canada, shouldn't be that different hopefully

A friend of mine IMed me earlier this evening, asking me to come over. So I hop in the ole ghetto mobile and drive 30 minutes to his place. I knock on his door for a minute or two and get no answer. This worries me- he has a small house, and I was knocking loudly. So I try calling his house and cell.
No answer.
I try the door (even though it is always locked), it opens. Strange.
He is on the couch right next to the door, eyes almost shut, not moving. My heart stopped. I thought for sure he had finally done it, he has been talking about it for months. That's when I noticed he was breathing.
Phew.
I try poking him, calling his name. He doesn't move, his eyes have an odd glazed look to them. I had to shake the hell out of him to get a response.
Turns out the fucker had been drinking and had just passed out waiting for me. *sigh*

anybody watched cube zero?
it's the prequel to cube... not as good as the first...on par with hypercube. what doesn't make sense is the ending.
when wynn is but back into the cube, what happens is verbatim to the original cube when they found kazaam. the dialogue, room, and number of people. but the names have changed and obviously the actors. wynn even acts like kazaam. wtf? is it suppose to be the same event or something different all together?

Shack NCAA Tournament Pool Info!
If you wish to be in this years Shack NCAA pool, please shackmsg me ASAP. If you have friends who you would like to be in the pool, even if they aren't shackers, that's fine too. When you shack message me, I will send you a link to paypal me 5 dollars. If you have a credit card, please pay 5.50, as Paypal rapes you with fees. When you do Paypal me, and this is very very important, as some people were out of the pool last year for this reason, YOU MUST LET ME KNOW WHAT YOUR SHACKNAME IS!! Just add your shackname to the notes field on the paypal payment. For people who aren't Shackers, please have them include their email address.
After I recieve payment (and assuming I know who you are) I will send either a shackmsg or an email (your preference) with the league info. I hope to get as many people in this year as possible, hence the opening of the league. Last year we had about 100 dollars, but that included 3 non-shackers.
We've done a 60/30/10 split for the last three years, meaning the winner gets 60 percent of the pool, the 2nd place guy gets 30 percent, and so on.
We are doing the Yahoo Tournament Pick-em - they automatically tally up points per round, so there's no human interaction there. You get points based on choosing the winners of all the games, with the games becoming higher and higher in value as the tourney progresses.
Anyway, good luck, and again, please let me know ASAP - I will be checking shackmsg's later today and hopefully reposting this over the next few days. Bumpage would be appreciated if I'm not around.
