ShackWomen: Do you find it flattering when a guy/guy friend compares you to well-known celebrities (and not like a come one 'hey baby you got a [blank] like [blank]' but as a genuine appreciation of your physical beauty?)

I've known this one girl (she's 35) for a while, and I finally figured out who she reminds me of (Jennifer Connelly + Kristian Alfonso, the woman who plays 'Hope' on 'Days Of Our Lives'). I just happened to be flicking through the TV and saw 'Hope' and figured out the missing piece.

Bad idea (to tell her thru email w/ pix?)
(Or should I just forget this nonsense and go back to hitting f5 on this page: http://www.fileshack.com/browse.x?cat=3185 )

Hey guys, remember that post about the Egg & Muffin Toaster that got an informative a while back? Well, it inspired me to write a post on my blog about how awesome that thing sounded. Wait a month later and suddenly somebody from the company that makes the Egg & Muffin Toaster is e-mailing me out of the blue, offering a free one after loving what I wrote so much.

I did notice that my Page File usage is a constant 355 MB when the computer is idle (I have 512MB of physical memory installed). What could be causing this?

I preordered and tried DoD:S. Having played DoD competitively years ago, I was really looking forward to it. This machine is a 1700+ with a 9600. It runs like absolute dogshit, and that's being generous. HL2 ran ok (long load times) at 800x600 but DoD stutters and skips like a crazy clown.

I put this box together myself but don't really want to deal with that again.

Help Computah Upgrade
Abit AN7 2800+
1 GB DDR433 ram
9800 Pro

I've been noticing that my framerate is starting to hurt. What do you suppose the likely bottleneck is? Is it worth upgrading to an AGP x800xl or 6800gt? Or should I buy more ram? Or is the CPU the bottleneck so I should just go home?

I can never tell how fast technology is moving and I don't want to buy anything after this for at least a year. Will an X800xl hold me over through FEAR and ETQW??

SQL ppls:

I have a table. organization_id, first_name, last_name are 3 of the fields (there are others). each organization has a list of ppl (first/last names).
the first and last names got swapped during entry. is there an easy way to swap those names w/ an update query for those belonging only to one organziation_id?
using mysql, btw

BF2 ShackBattle - The Morning After

I've been playing BF2 Sunday Night Shackbattle since BF2 demo ... pretty much every week. And sadly I'm just done ... because of the JET RAPE. In Gulf of Oman last night, USMC had ALL the jets and it was just wall to wall JETRAPE. Me and several other shackers just left and jumped out on a general server of Strike At Kirkland. And it was AWESOME. Great teamwork, great tactics.

So next week, I'll be back on Sunday night. But I'll be trying to recruit shackers to a lightly loaded general server that is playing non-jet maps.

In summary, the best maps are the non-Jet maps. Or, this can be further simplified as:

JETRAPE = BAD.

That is all.

WoW newbie

Me and my girlfriend are going to start playing tonight. I have a few quick questions:

1. How does one choose a fast server, depending on geographics? Is there a list somewhere? We're looking for a good, North American, East Coast server. (Currently I'm on Bleeding Hollow)

2. I already installed WoW on her PC, but with my CD key. How can I change it to the one she got just today? Do I have to re-install the whole thing?

3. We're going Horde - Her, a Troll Shaman (herb/alch) and me an Orc Hunter (mining/blacksmith, or something). Does this look like a nice combo? Unless someone strongly advise not to do this, I guess we'll go for these...

Hmm...I like the female singer of Blonde Redhead about 1000 X more than the male dude. If the male dude didn't sing at all, I think I'd like Blonde Redhead a LOT more. :(
