later at night i received an email saying: "So during the interview I’m convinced I’ve seen you before. Then when you handed me your e-mail address I’m thinking to myself “why do I recognize that name“ <snip snip> I recognized you from the South Korean ShackMeet pics, and your name from my lurking on the ShackForums."

San Francisco , CA – August 16, 2005 –
Ubisoft , one of the world’s largest video game publishers, today announces that 187 Ride or Die™ has gone gold and will soon be on store shelves. 187 Ride or Die is an urban-themed combat racing game that plunges players into a brutal street-racing gang war where victory depends on ruthless driving and deadly shooting skills. 187 Ride or Die will be available for the Xbox® video game system and the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system on August 23 at the manufacturer's suggested retail price of $49.99.
187 Ride or Die features the voices and likenesses of rising young actors including Larenz Tate ( Menace II Society, Ray ), Noel Gugliemi ( Training Day, The Fast and the Furious ), and Guerilla Black – who also produced and performed the in-game music soundtrack comprised of 15 unreleased hip-hop tracks composed specifically for 187 Ride or Die .

"NCAA blasted over Chief Illiniwek"
For crying out loud. I am so sick of this garbage. U of I bends over backwards to honor Chief Illiniwek. I am part Cherokee and am just sick of this.
If while sticking with the Orage and blue colors they changed everything to be the freaking o{Dreamsicles}o, Ice cream men and gays would be pissed too.

- I have a pile of music on a windows 2003 server computer at my house.
- The files are in a range of mp3 bitrates, vbr mp3, ogg, etc.
- I want to be able to play them to my computer at work.
- I want to select which song to play when.
- I only have around 128kbps upstream at home available, between other things on that machine (remote desktop, etc) so it should re-encode, on the fly, to that bandwidth.
Things i've tried:
Windows Media Services - can't deal with vbr mp3s, ogg files.
Shoutcast (on demand) - streams out the files at original bitrate.
Anyone have a solid solution for this?

Ive narrowed it down to these two TV's (not necessarily from best buy, but these two models).
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=6780389&type=product&id=1089890234895
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=6355785&type=product&id=1076628953526
Now, I know Toshiba is a higher quality "Brand Name", are there really any differences between those two TV's, because the 100$ really is a big factor in this (its being split between 4 roomates, so thats 25$ extra, which some people just won't want to throw down, theres been some serious negotiation just to get to this point).
Also, im thinking best buy can stuff their ridiculous 400$ warranty and we'll just take the 1-year warranty from the manufacturer. After one year the TV is no longer to be in a college environment so it should be safe from someone possibly causing it some form of harm by accident.

This morning I had an eye exam and my right eye has degraded to ~20/30 while my left eye has developed some mild astigmatism. I'll be getting a light set of corrective lenses to wear while driving at night, but otherwise I'm quite satisfied with those results. Compared to the vision I started with it's an extraordinary procedure and I would honestly recommend it for people with seriously impaired vision. Just keep in mind that any surgery has inherent risks and that the results may start to degrade over time.

Who even gives a fuck anymore? Goddamn, they expect to compete with Halo3 and PS3? What the fuck kind of ego crack are they smoking?
It's as if Nintendo is intent on committing suicide.
The Revo is due to be severely underpowered. So you can count out any 3rd party ports. The only reason the PS2 got ports was because it was so damned popular. Even with an orgasmic controller I can't see them getting many 3rd part ports. So now they've got less games, far less powerful CPU/graphics, and a library of old games that they intend to sell for god knows how much. AND they intend to release this in the same timeframe as Zelda: Spring/Summer 2006.
What a goddamn abortion. Is Nintendo TRYING to commit suicide?

i should not i am not behind a router or anything...modem is going directing into my computer. friend is behind a router though.
Looking at used cars now want to pay around 10k-20k (canadian), although that could go up for a really good deal. Seems like for my price range and the types of cars I like, I can get the following:
99-01 Maxima
98-01 A4
x-01 assorted BMWs (there are so many types it's confusing)
Do you guys know if there are any similar cars that I should be looking at?
Also I found a 2000 Audi S4 for what seems like an amazing price (~22k for 65k km), is the 2000 S4 not as valued as the new S4's? (which go for 2x the price of an A4)

And I was wondering if there is a website with some funny comments I can give to workmates when a phone call is for them. But damned if i know how to search for that on google.
something like, "Michael, I have your mother on line 3, she wants to know if you need the bedspread washed as well as your sheets."
wow, how many 'stings' and flash cuts can you have?
i think for them to be effective you need to have a stretch of time
where there aren't any.
