Wow, that is some real deep music. Talk about dynamics. Great stuff, cause all the different styles actually add up to the song in stead of just plucking away riffs and tempochanges to impress. Great stuff. Respect.

Ancient video card men: Step into the present with a dirt-cheap X800 Pro 256MB direct from ATI!
Both AGP and PCI-E versions are available for the low, low price of $179.00! The only catch is that they're "refurbished." However, they carry ATI's full 3 year warranty and many of the people who have purchased refurbed cards directly from ATI have received brand new cards that have never even seen an AGP or PCI-E slot. The X800 XT PE that I picked up earlier this month arrived in tip-top condition and overclocks nicely.
To make the deal even better, use coupon "1010" for 5% off: http://shop.ati.com/searchresults.asp?dept_id=39

I found a sweet farming spot in ninja gaiden. I made like 20k in a few minutes. I'm totally buying unlabored flawlessness now. Its in chapter 13, fighting the infested soldiers right next to the X (xbox ad in game lol) that refills your health and ninpo and a save spot and the ninja gaiden arcade machine. What kinda dummy puts all those goodies in one spot? Its a farmers heaven. I kill 3 with electric ninpo, absorb their essence, go on a killing spree with the ultimate essence attack, make mad cash, rinse and repeat. I'm all stocked up for the final run with 3 scrolls of rebirth and I'll probably buy several health pots and whatever else I want.
I'm rich bitch!!!!

Well, I don't know if it's any easier with the method they describe (I honestly haven't looked at it except for the samples which are awesome awesome) but here you go, how to create DVD Panoramas:
http://www.g4tv.com/attackoftheshow/blog/AOTB/post/472076/DVD_Panoramas.html
Recently got one, but I noticed that the cop did not fill out any of the information saying what equipment was used, direction of travel, how long I was timed, or any of that stuff. Just wrote the speed in the comments.
And on that note, he wrote it up for "unsafe speed" which AFAIK is less fines and no points, but he flat-out threatened to jack the charge up to the full XX in a YY zone if I chose to challenge it.
Both of these things reek of bullshit to me. I could see the second part being equivalent legally to a plea bargain, but the first part, I wonder if the ticket is even valid. (or if it doesn't matter, as long as he has evidence to show in court)
I don't think I'll bother trying to fight it or anything, it's a hundred bucks I'd rather pay than waste any of my time and anxiety on this. But it still just seems crappy.

I hate to be a reposter, but: http://www.shacknews.com/ja.zz?id=10627519
In short, my cpu should be killing DSII, but it's not. A few others have the exact same, problem, with entirely different systems. If I had paypal, I swear I would offer some serious cash to get this problem fixed; there's no way I'm playing DSII at 15fps, especially on this system.
Changing the in-game settings only marginally affects the framerate. It still runs like crap at min settings. In fact, it's probably even crappier given how barebones the minimum settings are.
I've tried every solution in the book. Updated drivers, redownloaded direct x, turned off audio, changed AGP aperture, raised app priority (an in-game option), etc. I've even tried obscure and often illogical solutions, just to try *something*. Turned on and off AA/AS, ran it in all kinds of compatibility modes, disabled themes, etc.
GPG doesn't do tech support (though I posted on their forums anyways). Microsoft does the support, and it sucks. Sucks. Just a generic FAQ page that doesn't help at all. I went as far as to get into one of these stupid microsoft online chats, but "rupesh" might as well have been a bot as he was about as helpful as stabbing a nail in my eye.
If anyone were to help me out, I'd be grateful. I can't offer much, though :\
