So, my son is in first grade. For their "science project", each student was assigned a different sea creature to do a report on. The report consisted of answering about 12 questions (ie: what does your creature eat, how big does it get, etc.). My son was assigned the octopus! Couldn't have got a better subject in my opinion. We went to the library and picked up three age appropriate books on octopuses [octopi]. We read these over the course of 2 weeks. My son then answered all the questions (with some guidance) in his own hand. The assignment also instructed the students to build a three dimensional model of their creature. Heh. I've been buidling models since I was five (plastic, balsa, scale, RC).
I took my son to the local craft store and picked up a bunch of supplies: styrofoam, paper mache', paint, pipe cleaners, hot glue, sequens. The instructions said: "...remember, this is THEIR project...". Keep in mind, our son participated in most of the build process (helping to glue the stryofoam armature, paper mache' etc.). My son know's every part of the octopus (within reason), it's diet, size, weight, etc. I hope he doesn't get shit for the thing being "over the top".
I ask you ShacK, is this way to much octopus for a 1st grader?

Now I'm pretty close to getting a Mac Mini, but one thing I really like about windows is the right click funcionality.
Like for example in Macromedia Fireworks, there are a lot of options that I use when performing a right click. It's just really useful.
Now I heard if you get a mac, you can use any USB mouse that has a right click button. On two-button mice, the right button performs the same right-click function as it does on Windows.
Is this true? And would that present me the option of having the same right click menu I see in Macromedia Fireworks in Windows?
I'd be much more happy finding a 2 button mouse like the Logitech MX510 if this is true.
Any mac users can confirm this?

some time ago I provided links to the WoW Heroes comic strips by and featuring Fidget and Shakes. A few people liked them, so I thought why not link the more recent ones, until I discovered they were not yet translated.
Being bored and unwilling to give up, I translated the new ones myself.
Hope somebody enjoys them.

I work for a smallish IT company and my boss asked me to draw him out some specs for a new computer that would suit my needs. I do a lot of different software development related things. At the moment I am developing in C#, C++, HTML/CSS, Flash and some image editing.
I don't think his budget for me is too big, so what should I suggest? Is a dual display setup worth pushing for? We'd probably buy it from Dell.

i havent put this game down yet, built my own boxer..makin cash.
you can customize your entrance (fireworks, music, the hoes around u..u can even dress the hoes, and each hoe, entrance, music, ect give you different bonuses)
lalala.. i never was a huge ea sports fan (aside from the nhl series) but damn the control scheme and everything has boxing down pretty accurate in a fun sorta way. the knockouts use ragdoll physics and you can go nuts/unleash combos while they are falling. weeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!
the onle play has ladders, rankings, matchups, ect. so cool.

I left the laptop running in the other room last night, defragmenting. When I woke up this morning it wasn't even finished and THERE'S A FUCKING RED, DEAD PIXEL ON THE SCREEN :(
It's really, really annoying the crap out of me. If I twist the monitor or press on it a little bit it goes away but then comes right back. Time to take this hunk of junk to the store (it's been slowly failing for the past few months anyways).
Today we tried to kill Lord Kazzak. It started off well.. we had nearly 40 people all in guild (which on a spur of the moment notice is very good), then we found out another guild that's friendly to us left their Molten Core raid to kill him. We figure, we won't be able to do it with only forty people, so let's team up and do it with eighty. We split both groups 20/20 so everyone has an equal chance at loot. We move in for the attack. Some horde rogue trains a bunch of mobs onto us, including Lord Kazzak.
We spent a good three hours planning and summoning all the players. We wiped in less than a minute. Apparently there's a safe guard to prevent more than forty people from killing him. Though i'm sure we would have all died anyway to the lvl 60+ elite fel guards that were trained on to us. :(

Is the Sony High Speed any better than the regular Duo Pro (Sony, SanDisk or otherwise)? Will it dramatically increase my USB transfer times?
I think I'm going to just go ahead and order a 512MB one for now, until the 1GB becomes more available. It's not like I can't use the extra storage. Perhaps the 512 for saves, pics and some music and the 1GB for video.
