by Maarten Goldstein, Sep 03, 2005 7:05am PDTI wanted to get some photos off my digital camera yesterday, and seeing how I couldn't find the USB cable, I decided to use my printer's card reader. Only one slot really seemed capable of taking the CompactFlash card, but it didn't slide in very easily. So I apply some force and it went in..but now the card is stuck. This is oh so awesome. Especially since I can't even grab the photos that are on there, since the card isn't fitted right. I have absolutely no idea how to get the thing out without either wrecking the printer or the card. Update: I decided to go the pliers route..and it worked. Thankfully, both the printer and card are still in good shape and I now have my pictures.

Do this:
hold the windows key and press "e"
how long does it take you? On my system it takes 2-3 seconds. What amazes me is if I try this on a Pentium D it's *instant*.
I'm not sure if this a "dual core feature" or if it's because of the fresh windows installation on that system. Pls try this and report back! Would like to hear from Athlon 64 mens too!

So, I've not been playing MMOs for the past few weeks. But we all know how that works out, so:
Is it possible to pick up EVE and be having fun with it/making progress within the first day? I realize its not EQ or WoW...
Also, are there regular player interactions? WoW all but made me solo for efficiencies' sake, and that gets boring after a *while*

So I stopped off at Starbucks today to get my cup of coffee and I saw a car that made me stop dead in my tracks. I just stood there for a few seconds and stared at the thing. It was the most gay automobile I have ever seen in my 23 years on this planet.
I just did a little research and apparently the car I saw was the "Saleen Speedster" as depicted on http://www.customflamepainting.com/personal/saleen/
I'm sure this car is no news to any of the die hard car guys on the shack, but I did have a question about the modifications made to this particular car viz. the plastic cover that fits over the rear sets. What is the purpose of that thing? The only possible uses I could think of were to cover up the back when the rear seats were removed (stupid, and the rear seats are still installed on the car pictured) or to improve aerodynamics (why not just put the top on). Aesthetically that car defies all logic and sense of common decency. It's a case of the bad gone horribly wrong.

What are your favourite cars in Forza? I dont just mean the fastest but the ones you have the most fun driving around.
For me at the moment its probably the NSX r, because its got near pefect balance with back end that swings around like a ballet dancer, and the stripped down track version 355 GTS, because its just absolute heaven to race around vs other A cars with it, a pure racing machine.
Also worth a mention but not favs: DB9 isnt all that fast compaired to other A-cars but its a hell of a lot of fun to drive, pitty you cant properly strip it down and upgrade the engine :/.
Border MR2, love the mr2, great fun to drive; a bit like a slower less grippy NSX(r), The Impreza is also fun but a little too easy to drive maybe (and everyone drives the suped up Tom's Scooby :( ).

Where do you buy games online? Looking for sites other than Futureshop.ca Bestbuy.ca and Amazon.ca, if there are any...
The big sites tend not to have any copies of the rarer/older/interesting games. On a related note I'm trying to find a new copy of MGS2.
So my roommate recently got a 42" plasma TV. It is indeed awesome.
I really hate cable TV, I think it's evil and it sucks my time away because I have no self-control and can't keep form vegging out. HOWEVER, one of my roommate's wants to have cable TV and I would like to be able to watch some sports and some HBO series.
So does anyone have any recommedation for cable or satellite plans that would be good for this? We currently have RoadRunner (Time Warner) cable. I would love to have HDTV stuff too. And I wouldn't be opposed to satellite if the price is right.
What do yous think?

Is there an easy way to make a web folder list its content to the public via http? Or is this a server wide setting I'd have to change in apache? By default my webserver gives a "forbidden", but I'd like it to just list all the files (images) in the directory for anyone to click on.
