Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Sep 07, 2005 6:00pm PDTWell that Age of Empires 3 demo was a little surprising. When you hear 'this month' that kinda leads you to believe like oh.. the 28th or something. Seems a lot of people are having problems getting it to run though. Bummer. :(
- Crazy new laptop - The latest iPod - Online gambling hurting a little - BMW / Chrysler working on hybrids - New iTunes phones kinda suckyLastly, check it out.. full TV shows online. I like this trend. More please.

you guys don't believe "nintendo is going under" do you?
friend's friend is going to "start a non-profit" and wants my friend to "help him" (i bet give him money) and run this thing (which has to do with gaming mediation).
kid claims he won't have a conflict of interest (he works for nintendo) because "nintendo is going under" and he's getting a new job.
i call bullshit. kid's getting fired and is looking for a money scam while he finds a new one.

I'm trying to get my hands on a copy of reg. XP, so I can get back to gaming. Is it possible to simply insert the XP and install it over Media Center? What will happen to all my files? Will I have to re-install everything? Can I even do it??

"One feature we’re excited about is the addition of mid-sized raid dungeons. While the epic 40-player encounter is challenging and rewarding, we feel that a mid-sized raid can serve as a dynamic and fun departure from 40-player raids as well as the standard 5-player parties. The tactics necessary for a successful mid-sized raid group will feel different from those for a larger raid group, but good organization will still be required, and each member of the group will be an important contributor to its success. This new raid style will also serve as a stepping stone up to 40-player raids for many players. "
*sigh*
I don't want to raid. Ever. It sucks. A lot. If I wanted to organize logistical trains, I'd join the army core of bean counters.

It says 1.4 on that webpage but upon installation, the About menu lists 1.5 Beta 1. I wouldn't recommend installing it however, if you're heavily dependant on your extensions/theme as most of them are disabled (every single one of mine are).

Bought the Lumines and Wipeout default pack and TOCA 2.
I did plan on buying a DS, borrowed one from a friend and really like it, found it very Nintendo, clunky and just not very sexy. An absolute plus was the homebrew and emulator scene he had some of my old SNES games, fun stuff.
Metroid was impressive and the control very natural, so i was warm so to speak. Well then, enter the PSP, just one look (ok 2) and i was sold, and i even have 3! games to play until GTA arrives. Now i need a 1GB card and Sony needs to unfuck the "max res" lock down on mpeg4 movies.
Did i mention i love the WLAN browser :-)

Have a form with a progress bar that shows the progress of a file copy operation, the problem is the form will not update at all during the copy operation and basically looks as if the application has frozen.
How can I fix this?

The digital audiobooks are being released by the Random House Audio Trade Group, her current audio publisher. They can be purchased through Apple’s iTunes store, for prices ranging from $32.95 for a single book to $249 for the whole series, which, according to Random House, includes a “full color digital booklet†and “previously unreleased readings†by Rowling.
Neil Blair, a lawyer with Rowling’s literary agency, said Wednesday that there are no current plans for Potter e-books.
Do those of you that have AntiSpyware installed still use apps like SpyBot Search&Destroy or Adaware? I'll be cleaning adware off of an associate's home network that I'm certain will be flooded. I'd like to minimze the time spent there, running duplicating searches, but I'd rather get everything this time and not have to go back for a few months.

So, I got out the nudge tool and did a bit of virtual rhinoplasty on myself.

I don't think I'd ever go for plastic surgery (I'm rather proud of my nose), but I like the results of my nudgery. I suppose if I ever wanted to become a male model like tomservo wants, I'd have to get it done.
