Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Jul 05, 2005 7:00pm PDTOk so really, one of the biggest perks of the woman having her business near a gay community is days like this one. I'm walking through the parking lot the other day and come across two VERY hot young ladies in skimpy clothing just all over each other making out with lots of groping. It just brightens your day you know? I've never really been one of those guys who gets all hot over the thought of girls making out but I may have to rethink that.
- China hates spam - Broadband whispers over radio ? - Best places to work for employee discounts - Martha Stewart is gonna make a break for it. I would not watch her make out in the parking lot.Lastly, I've thought it over.. chicks making out is hot. Would watch again.

In a recent study in PNAS, it is shown that the behaviour of identical genes can change significantly due to upbringing and other enviromental factors.
In other words, it seems that human behaviour is not hardcoded, has never been hardcoded and will hopefully never be hardcoded. I hope we can now be rid of at least some biological explanations to inequalities that should be clearly abhorrent to anyone believing in democratic systems and liberty.
Here's a picture of a chromosome pair from a (uh, don't know the English word here) one-egg twin, with the parts in yellow acting the same for both twins (note that green is not yellow):

EMP
OMG Plot Holes!!!
Emp starts with a burst of gamma rays. Why didn't everyone turn into Hulks??
While many microcircuits can be destroyed directly by the pulse, much of the effect of emp is also caused by induced charges in metal connections: antennas, internal leads, etcs. The build up and discharge are impossible to predict in any one device, and whether or not the device will be destroyed is subject to many, many factors.
In fact, electronic equipment that is off may come through just fine in many cases.
OMG THAT DUDE HAD A CAMERA WORKING

Oh, and if that doesn't work, SUSPEND DISBELIEF.

Now I’m going to be complete honest. Even this simple task is beyond my scope. Anyone who reads my posts here knows, I have a great deal of trouble putting words and sentences together. (Which you may or may not know is the is because of the brain damage I received from a medical mistake when I was an infant) So… I have the same problem with code as well.
My Questions are: Is there a “kit†or an engine code package available that does what I want to do exist? And Is there a tool that can proof read code that doesn’t cost several hundred?

It was a hard fight which lasted ~ 2 years. Many times the directive passed some institutions because the politicians just didn't care and acted in favor of Microsoft and so on. Microsoft tried to force some admistrations to support the directive, otherwise they'd cut jobs and so on (of course, stuff like that has been denied by the governments and microsoft, it was reported by a danish newspaper called BØRSEN).

So once I have the RAW opened, what do I want to save it as? I know PNGs are lossless but would I have the same quality, bits per channel and all that shit? PSD files are fucking huge and not very common with the masses so I'd like to stay away from that. Obviously not back to jpeg.

So, Blockbuster Online has been out for a while. Yay or nay over Netflix? The prices seem the same between the two, so which is preferable? Blockbuster for the 2 free game rentals a month?
Also, if you rent something from, say, Netflix, and it's a 7-DVD TV set, does that count as 1 rental, or do you have to rent the discs individually? That could get annoying if you have to keep sending them back to continue watching the season.

Take Tron 2.0 for example (which I just recently played). The first time I went through it, I remember being quite irritated about the frequency of jumping puzzles in it. This time they didn't bother me at all, or seem as frequent as I remember. In fact, the entire game seemed quite a bit better than I remember.
After such a good experience with Tron, I figured I would go back and fire up another Monolith game, No One Lives Forever 2. This time however I am only a few levels in and quite upset about the amount of backtracking and re-spawn you encounter; something I don’t remember at all from the first time I played it. In addition to that, the controls seem a lot touchier than I remember. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still a good game.
That being said, Monolith never had a cutting edge engine but they offered fairly unique game-play over the big FPS releases. I’ll take one Tron or one NOLF over Unreal 2 or Pariah any day of the week.

This is just a few questions that were floating in my head and I wanted a little discussion from the fellow shackers around here.
1. Am I the only one who is having issues shooting down blackhawks as of late? I mean if you don't have a competent person flying the jets you can end up in a crap situation. Trying to shoot a blackhawk down with a gunner when you are anti-tank is borderline impossible if you ask me. Further more do the SAM sites scattered around the maps just suck ass or what?
2. Honest to god truth my favorite part of the game is when you are in an infantry heavy battle. So does anyone else feel that infantry combat in general is kind of gimped? I think it really has to do with the kind of map it is. Gulf of Oman is really one of the better balance for infantry combat because even if you don't have a vehicle it doesn't take impossibly long times to get into combat. I'm just saying that I love the dynamic of having heavy numbers of ground troops working in squads with support of vehicles like humvees, apcs, or tanks as opposed to vehicles being the name of the game.
3. Lastly, I know this has been said a bit but the engineer seems to be about the most underused class thus far. THe reason too is that in my opinion the gun sucks. Its effective close range but how many times are you honestly super close to your enemy? Thats it for now, but I love a good discussion.

GG to Tommygun and Sprytext for our little session. It was Spry and I in a chopper at the Dalian nuclear plant level, chasing after Tommygun. There were barrages exchanged, and Tommy used missile emplacements to full effect to take us down a number of times.
One hit almost took Spry and I out, but as we were on fire, and the last bits of our chopper's life eked away, I managed to land on the helipad, saving the helo and both of our lives.
What a sweet game :)

Overall got my monies worth with the action sequences. Nobody does them like Speilberg and the action scenes are amazing.
All the "people" moments in the film went down in a manner that I had trouble seeing as anything close to realistic. (within reason). Example: at the end where Cruise brings the girl home, and stands there. NOBODY runs and embraces him except the son? NOBODY is HAPPY that he's alive? Everyone comes to the door and just looks at him. WTF? I think after the near apocolypse we can put our differences aside maybe?
And Speilberg did JAWS. Shinlders. Say Anything. The man knows how to do human moments.
It also struck me as odd that when Cruise first tries to Steal the car after the first tripod, the shop owner actually tries to stop him, WTF was that? Nevermind the FUCKING ALIEN DEATH PATROL. THATS NOT YOUR CAR.

I don't want to boast, but I honestly think I have some kind of talent at ordering people around.
I remember when I was in AIT at Fort Gordon, we had this squad on squad battle, and when we first started I divided my squad into teams and said "ok, your going to take over there, you there, etc.". The whole battle I was barking orders to my squad mates, and it was working well. The other squad we were batteling was totally disorganized, but somehow managed to win because one really fast dude got lucky and ran down this dirt train and took our flag (in our defense, the MILES gear that trainees get SUCKS SHIT. We're talking worse than trying to snipe in BF2, and I think military people can attest to that).
Anyway, wow. That was a great game.

My father was driving his car, (because I was so sleepy)... but he was himself very tired and as we were almost home, we got a huge traffic. So he tried to pass to the carpool line, and bingo... a truck hits us almost at full speed as we are moving to the carpool lane. Our Toyota Accord almost jumped forward, hit the side of the highway, and bounced back. Short story, the back and left front of the car is fucked. Since this car has 135k millage, my father is now looking into a new car.
Any idea what should we get?
