Anyone here get that free thumbdrive from IBM that was posted here recently?
I just got mine today but it has this weird partition where only 25 mb is free and the other bit comes up as a CD drive and everytime you insert the thumbdrive it pops up this IBM screen, really annoying.
I just tried to delete the partitions for the thumbdrive....
I inserted my windows xp cd and booted it on start up of the computer. then i went to Repair by pressing R on the menu and then typed "Diskpart" to see if i could delete the partitions there. only one partition came up for the thumbdrive and it was for 25 mb. so i deleted it and then when i went to create a new parition it could only make a 16 mb one with 8 mb going to an uknown parition which i cant touch.
Now I'm not sure what to do since I just lost 8 mb that up to this point I don't know how to get back.

My house is there after being gone for about 18 months now.
On a further note, the game itself is horrible. I seriously don't know how people are still paying to play this. The download uses the Catacombs graphics engine, and man does it make the game feel slow. I thought Galaxies was bad. The textures do look good though.
And running on foot is god awful slow.
Its really made me appreciate the WoW and Guild Wars engines.

Because moe6's server asplode, he had to take the file down. However, captfarrell has stepped up to the plate like a true Shack icon and provided me with webspace for the 15 tracks (128kbps).
NOTE: THIS IS FOR SHACKERS ONLY. CAPTFARRELL CAN, AND WILL TAKE DOWN THE FILE IF/WHEN HIS BANDWIDTH GETS RAPED.

Why the fuck do headphones hurt my ears so much? I previously thought that the poor design of my old headphones was to blame, but even my new, excellently soft ones cause my ears to ache.

i was talking to an agent at work today about this auction a customer was having trouble bidding on
she was having trouble with the buy it now button
now i know how buy it now buttons work, but i had like 3 people talking to me and i was kinda distracted
and i accidentally fucking bought it
now this wouldnt be all that bad if it was something remotely worth having
but i bought a copy of office 7.0 .. which is the version that came out in fucking 1995.
now this wouldnt be all that bad if it wasnt that expensive
but it was $70 usd

Today I realized that I'll never know if I make the RIGHT decision. Partly because I think there is no RIGHT. In the end, it's what I turn that decision into.
So on that note. I think at this point I'm about 99% certain that I'm going to back out on joining the United States Navy.
I've spoken to counselors at the local Community College, and given my financial situation/credit/age, and a few other things, it looks really positive that I'd be able to qualify for grants and loans. On top of that, the way awesome job I have offers tuition re-imbursement.
So.... while I'm not completley 100% confident in this choice, I feel ten times better about it than I do going to the Navy.
I wish I had realized when I was a retarded teenager that life is what you make it. :)
And so begins Chapter 2 of my life. I just have to talk to my recruiter tomorrow and get this backing-out thing out of the way.
