I'd been putting off laundry for about 2 weeks. I completely ran out of clean clothes, so I washed everything tonight. I just got back from the laundromat, and apparently some fucker stole all my laundry. That's almost literally all the clothing I own. All my clothes for work, some towels, most of my casual stuff.
I'm not angry, I'm not upset. I'm just so incredibly flabbergasted that I don't even know what to do. There must have been over $700 in clothes there.
Not only do I have nothing to wear to work tomorrow, but I have no money to buy more clothes! wtf.

Begins an article making it seem they are focusing on a certain problem/issue then when reaching about half way through it the writer slowly moves to a different issue which makes it almost seem on purpose?

I'm currently running an nVidia fx5900 128mb, but a friend gave me his old ATI 9600xt w/256 mb. Do you think I'd see any performance gain in BF2, HL2, etc... by switching over to the ATI due to the fact it's got twice the RAM?
Rest of system:
Abit IC7-G mobo
Intel 2.4b
1 gig Mushkin ddr400

So ive been messing around with BF2 and its all good, with one exception. I cant fly helecopters properly. I really dont understand how you are suposed to fly a copter without a rudder. Is there something I am missing?
Ive seen some people do some pretty nifty manovers in copters so could someone give me some tips (or link me to a good tip site) on BF2 copter flight.

TI-83+
TI-84
or
TI-86
I have no idea which would be the best, the 84 and 86 only cost $20 more though.

I've been getting ready to start doing ASP.NET development here at my work.. and most of the people here at work mostly do ASP/VBScript.. so they're kind of inexperienced in all things related to .NET. Anyway, they want to set up a ASP.NET server (easy enough, I can guide them though anything that is a problem in hosting), but they also want to do remote debugging.
I've never done remote debugging before, so I'm wondering if you shackers know of a definitive how-to on setting up remote debugging, one that is complete enough to guide a .NET newbie step-by-step on setting it up.
Apparently, my workmates are struggling with setting up remote debugging.. they claim they've tried lots of things and can't get it to work. I offered to let them put the server at my desk and I'd see exactly what they're struggling with, but for some reason they don't want to do that. do they see it as an admission of defeat?
Anyway, I looked though post histories of shackers who have struggled with this, and here's what I've come up with:
http://www.shacknews.com/ja.zz?id=10035224
fechols seems to have some good advice there on remote debugging. But it doesn't really seem like a good step-by-step tutorial.
http://www.shacknews.com/ja.zz?id=8665636
sucko claims it's easy, but I get the impression he's talking about Windows .NET and not ASP.NET remote debugging.
Anyway, any good links for HOW-TOs or step-by-step guides for RD newbies would appreciated.... maybe I should just take a copy of the Visual Studio CD's and go home (I don't have a second pc here at work) and see if I figure it out myself.

Just got 2 questions. About how much fat is in a bowl of boiled white rice? The rice we have doesn't have the nutritional info label on it.
Also, I'm currently eating ramen noodles with a breast of chicken almost every night but the noodles have 12g of fat alone. Is there a low fat substitute for the noodles I can eat and get full with?
My routine right now is to eat a sandwhich for lunch and noodles/chicken for dinner some days. And other days the subway low fat sandwhiches, 2 servings for twice a day. I know this might not be the best method but the subway eating alone caused me to drop about 5 pounds in a few days. I'm just worried about the ramen noodles right now.

Dear friends,
Last Saturday, we had our fifth year anniversary celebration for DivX. While we were all getting toasted on champagne, somebody - we can't quite remember who - thought it would be a great idea to give away our software for free. Our web store manager was the only one who didn't exactly love the idea, and eventually he'll probably be able to untie himself and break out of the storage locker.
In the meantime, you can save yourself $19.99 and get the DivX Create Bundle for Windows absolutely free! Feel free to tell your family, spam your friends, update your blog and mention it in your podcast ... just don't wait too long. This special anniversary offer is only good for today.
To recieve the gift, you'll need to enter your e-mail address and download the product. Then, we'll send you a serial number which will allow you to use your full version of the DivX Create Bundle. This is not a trial and will not expire.
Thanks for your support!
Jerome 'Gej' Rota
Co-Founder & DivX Guru

I'm at the first encounter with the Rhino-man and every damn time I get him in front of the wrecking ball and go press F near the base Spidey says it won't do any good to have him in front of the darn thing. So is the front somewhere else? I swear if I hear that Rhino guy say that little phrase again, I will shoot myself.

The pictures are 1264x711 NOT 1280x720, I guess this has a lot to do with Halo 2's widescreen overscan bug that happened in the initial release - I hope the 360 handles this a bit better.

FREE DELL 720 USB PRINTER
it was given to me by someone at my old workplace, and I have a laserjet so I have no need for this thing.
I can't think of any clever contest by which people would win or earn it, so I'll just give it away to a person who needs it and either:
1) takes a picture of themselves in their underwear holding a sign that says "nigga stole my laundry"
2) makes a ytmnd for "nigga stole my laundry"
please note this is not racially motivated. I just need to get some lols out of my situation, because frankly I'm broke as fuck, and am going to have to wear my hoodie into a corporate office tomorrow because I have nothing but a stained shirt otherwise.
