We actually kick out about 35% of our public capacity out of that city which is pretty sucky when we have a problem with the machine at the same time as a major demo release. Believe you me I'm workin on it! NBA Live 06 showed up today too and I havent gotten to play... Emo :(

Don't buy X-Men Legends 2 for PC; it blows. They didn't do anything to make the graphics look better for the PC.. they allow higher resolutions than a regular TV of course, but the artwork is still the horrible pixelated console stuff. The new skill stuff is total bullshit. The camera angles aren't very good. You have to map the controls for a joystick TOTALLY manually using their rather poor descriptions. The level-up and character management screens are horrible. And the "conversations" you have with enemies are more annoying than the original.
In short, don't buy this game... unless its from me. :D

I need to buy 50 of them today for employees. I've bought them canons and olympus in the past and they've seemed to work nicely enough. I just want to get the best bang for the buck though on such a large purchase.
Bonus points if it has a rechargable battery. Keeping track of batteries for 50 cameras will be a whore.

It seems like everyone is running around in fast forward and the recoil on the Thompson and BAR were just insane. The few servers I played on practically turned to all riflemen and snipers.
Also, aiming with the sights with the Garand was incredibly slow. And the nades seem to take forever to detonate.
I only had time to play it for maybe 30 mins or so, but first impressions weren't good.

I've been pulled into look at a unix server that isn't mine. They are getting hit with scans of having shell in cgi-bin. Problem: There are a bajjilon files in cgi-bin and none of them are shells. Sampling scripts, they have them pointing to shell's in proper locations and permissions appear to be set correctly. Any ideas what to look for?

Well I've been trying to brute force a password for 5 days so far with no luck. The file I have is a word doc, RC4 encryption, I have no idea how long the password is. I do know 3 lines of text from the file bit for bit, can I use that to speed up the process in any way?

What I wanted to point out is how great the axis rocketeer is. The machine-pistol is way too cool. It's like a portable MG-42 with little to no recoil at close to medium range. Also, the bazooka is neat too. You can use it to counter the effects of snipers and campers by firing through windows and stuff.
Observe (!): http://img329.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dodanzio00076vs.jpg
I don't mean to brag or anything, but common', look at it! :P I usually suck too
In conclusion, axis rocket menzs are awesome and everyone should try it next time!

The use of trade-secret laws to conceal deaths and serious side effects linked to drugs has the obvious flaw of putting profits before public health. It also subverts the covenant between researchers and study volunteers. Subjects like Traci Johnson are told that even if they do not personally benefit from a new drug, the scientific knowledge gained from the study in which they've participated will benefit others. The volunteers should be told instead that scientists will learn about their experience only if it's good news for the drug they're helping to test.

Subject: A VISIT TO THE MENTAL ASYLUM
During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director,
"What is the criterion that defines a patient to be institutionalized?"
"Well..." said the Director, "we fill up a bathtub, and offer a teaspoon, a teacup, and a bucket to the patient and ask them to empty the bathtub."
1. Would you use the spoon?
2. Would you use the teacup?
3. Would you use the bucket?
"Noooooo, A normal person would pull the plug."
Apparently I'm not normal.. lol
