The premise was interesting... a couple of guys join an experiment where one group takes the role of prisoners and another takes the role of prison guards while a group of scientists study how these groups interact witch each other and what effect fear and power have on the mind. It starts out friendly enough, but things go south really fast...

Thanks to Toothpic Vic's suggestion, I've been looking into this clicking stuff with my laptop hard drive. As I suspected, it is to do with the hard drives power management junk. I tried the patch available from Dell, but it says that my drive doesn't need the update.
Hitachi has a utility that lets you set the power management options for ATA drives, but when I tried that it wouldn't let me set the power management options for my drive (Western Digital WD600VE-75HDT0).
So basically I'm stuck now. I would REALLY like to avoid shipping my laptop back to Dell, especially if they just ship me back a new drive the does the same thing. I can't afford to buy a new hard drive for this thing. Does anyone know of a utility to adjust the power management settings for a hard drive? Western Digital's site doesn't have anythign that I can see, and Dell only let's you control the acoustic management options (which make no difference in my case).

Awwwww, I'm not running the product the way you intended? Well, it just so happens that your intentions are extremely stupid.
This is what happens when marketing gets in the way of common sense (an all too often occurrance in game publishing). We discussed this situation at length today at the office and here's what we came up with:
EA looked at the BF1942 demo and the fact that there are still people playing it to this day -- I checked earlier and there were 172 people playing. These are people that never went out and bought the game. These are people that EA didn't make a few dollars from.
By implementing the 12 minute time limit, they assumed that it would be annoying enough that people wouldn't continue to play the demo after the game's release. What they didn't assume is that it would piss off the majority of their fan base. Then, when said fan base figures out a way around the time limit, they come screaming (whining?) back saying we're breaking the terms of the EULA.
Yeah? So what? I already figured out how to get unbanned/relisted ASAP. Go ahead and ban/delist my server EA, I'll just put it right back up as normal, WITHOUT THE TIMELIMIT.
This whole debacle is one of the worst cases of idiot marketing paper jockeys mucking up one of the most anticipated game demos in recent years.

12 hours of bf2. yeah i'm hoplessly addicted to squad leader.
every group i've gotten to join seriously puts the hurt on the other team and my squad is consistantly the #1 squad with all points (the little gold trophies, cap points, kills)
and then, during the battle tonight on ashke's... organized squad vs. organized squad, wow that was FUUUUUUN. especially the BHD style battle on the rooftops of the construction site, we were pinned down but kept killing the opposing squad perched on the higher rooftop.
now we just need commanders who actually know how to command. online play on the shack servers is NOT the place to take commander for the first time

I've decided I want to learn to play guitar, so I've been looking around trying to find a good beginner guitar. Now, I realize I can ask 100 people and get 100 different answers, but right now it looks like I'm going to go with an Epiphone Les Paul 100. I really havent seen any negative comments or reviews on it, but I figured I would ask the shack as well. Any comments or suggestions?

er'd
It has recently come to my attention that Trillian is eating messages sent to me left and right. Very frequently I'll be getting IM'd by someone, yet never actually receive said IM's. They'll get mine, I won't get theirs.. happens with AIM for me (meaning, in Trillian.. normal AIM client doesn't do it), haven't tested it on MSN. Not only that, but Trillian will occasionally stop updating my buddy list and eat IM's at the same time. The buddy list will stay in one state until I quit/restart Trillian.. won't see anyone sign on or off until that happens. Anyhow..
I headed to the Trillian forums to see if anyone else was having this problem, and.. holy shit.
http://www.trillian.cc/forums/showthread.php?s=c1eabc4d9fa7c221f06bb2ef617b0010&threadid=53546
Fifteen pages of people thus far have chimed in saying that the same basic thing happens to them in both Trillian 2 and 3. Cerulean Studios hasn't responded thus far in any meaningful way that I can see, so.. for me at least.. I've moved on to GAIM effective today.
If anyone else thinks this might be happening to them, you might want to try running two clients at once (normal AIM + Trillian, or GAIM + Trillian), or compare logs with a frequent contact, to see how much you miss/have been missing.

Wow. What an excellent movie. Christopher Nolan pulled this off even better than I thought he could. Every moment was brilliant and had me grinning like a hyena the entire time. The way they set up his "beginnings" was so perfect I couldn't ask for anything better. The set design, costumes, freaking sweeeeeet Batmobile (and I was a little worried about it when I saw those early pictures), excellent Batsuit, cinematography, casting, acting, action, plot were all so amazing.
Nolan had some great themes going on with fear, justice, vengeance that all played out so well. It was the best Batman movie by far.
There is only one "thing" that I would change at all from this movie and that is saying a lot. The fight scenes were filmed far too tight and edited to be far too quickly cut. Most of the film wasn't cut with MTV editing but the combat scenes were far too fast for me. I enjoy fight scenes that are filmed with the camera pulled out some and not so tight on the action. Most of the fight scenes were too dark and too fast to have such tight shots and quick editing.
That aside this is such an excellent Batman movie and such an excellent movie in general. Definately go see it.

I want to be able to write a function that does the following:
that will run the function pointed to by pointerToFunction, supplied with a variable number of arguments.
So ideally I could do something like:
and it would equivalently call someFunction("theArgument");
Now, I've tried using va_list, but the problem is you have to cast the arguments at compile time, which I don't want. Is there any other way I can do this?

The game will be set in 1998, with the lead character being Toni Cipriani (voiced by Michael Madsen, who has also appeared in Driv3r and the Kill Bill movies). The full 3D viewpoint is finally given some substance by the screenshots. The game looks very similar to GTAIII and uses some of the original map from that game. Players will see the familiar three-island layout return, with Portland, Staunton Island and Shoreside Vale all being included. It is not yet clear if there will be any further areas to explore.
Motorbikes are confirmed for the game. Screenshots show both the PCJ and the Freeway. However, an interview segment of the article states that there will be no airborne transport in the game - probably because GTAIII's map didn't feature collision models for the roofs of the buildings. Other vehicles which appear in the screenshots are a police car, police Enforcer, Esperanto, Moonbeam, Stallion, Taxi and Bobcat. The article also states that the Patriot and Sentinel will be included.
Can't link as the site contains screenshots scanned from the magazine.. they look nice btw :-)
