by Maarten Goldstein, Aug 05, 2005 6:31am PDTThe Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy finally opened here this week. Not familiar with the books etc, at all but the trailers look pretty good. I'll probably end up seeing it. In other news, it's still raining here. Like, a lot. Movie: There are children here somewhere. I can smell them.

finally wireless working on my laptop under linux - full wpa encryption, dhcp working - the works - hot jesus...... that wasn't fun - but I learnt shit doing it.
NOW I can try linux from the comfort of my bed / laptop and still be on the net to research stuff.
That was only the 5'th try and about the 15'th hour on trying to get it happening...... over multiple weeks.

My garage door opener is on the fritz! Here is the scenario:
- I can open the garage door fine with my remote morning, noon and night.
- Wife cannot (intermittantly) open garage door in the mornings, but always can at night (6pm-ish).
This is so odd. The only thing I can think of is the ambient temperature in the mornings being cooler, so the metal has contracted? WTF...I dont get it.
HELP! :(

These seems like it would cause more trouble if it pans out to work. anyone here think the government or people like the RIAA would step in and ban this kind of p2p

PC-GamerUK did a story about a Corp in Eve-Online who did a HUGE scam. A mercenary guild was contract to take out the CEO of another guild for 1 Billion ISK. Instead of just killing her though, they had a large assortment of agents infiltrate the Corp, all the way up the upper-echelons of the Corporation. Supposedly this went on for a year before they took action, looting all of the corporates public hangars and killing the CEO(and podding her as well, to take the corpse for payment). They ended up netting an estimated 30 Billion ISK worth of items. Public announcements linked below from Corporation CEOs.:

I did my best to summarize, I guess I would suggest picking up a copy of PCGamerUK to read the 4 page story since scans are taboo.

So are any of you familiar with the guild Elitest Jerks? I ask becuase of this post: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.aspx?FN=wow-warlock&T=464522&P=1
Personally, I call bullshit, but just wondering what you guys have to say about it.
P.S. From the posts in that thread, I believe they have an awfully fitting guild name.

Suppose I have my iPod synced to my library on my desktop PC and decide to connect it to my laptop or work PC with iTunes installed. Will it autosync and erase my songs as soon as I plug it in?
I know there is a keycombo to temporarily disable autosync in iTunes (ctrl+shift?) but it would be nice if this wasn't necessary when connecting to a secondary computer.

So me, d0gbert, and a friend of ours are taking the roadtrip down to TX from NY. We've got two laptops (wireless) with my Dell Axim x50v PDA as the GPS navigation and possible streaming (from laptop) mp3 player to the car stereo. What suggestions do you guys have to occupy us for the way down there?
Both laptops are simple 1.2ghz Dell Latitudes sharing my Nextel's net link with a data cable. We've got Shadow Warrior, Duke3d, Quake, shitloads of mp3's, asst. videos, M$ MS streets and trips (iGuidance for the PDA), IRC client(s), AIM, shoutcast server stuff, Mount & Blade (hawt), ImageShack uploader, and of course for me - money Leo Laporte's podcasts. Everything is hooked up to our power converter from the battery, so power isn't an issue anymore. :)
I wonder what else might help tide the time of driving for over 25hrs. I know I'm missing something here and I'll be half-way there wondering why I didn't bring it. :P

i just got the green light on borrowing my folks' xterra, which means instead of a full car at 2, i can bring 3 more people. so far it's me, portax, and helter riding down. if anyone else needs a ride, shackmessage me and we'll arrange a location to meet at.
the catch is i'm going to collect the gas moneys. with the current load, each of us are going to burn through $17 worth of gas. with 4 people, it'll be $13, and with 5 (COZY!), it will be $10.
love,
cpt
