1So that Commander in Chief show started out kind of interesting but now it's already painfully predictable. It's like a not so good copy of old school West Wing with some contrived family dynamics and a 'bad guy'. Bummer. :(

So, there I was, driving down the street holding a bottle of Gatorade in one hand with my arm on the window and the other on the wheel. I was coming to an intersection and the light was turning yellow. So, I gave it a little more gas to get through the intersection with more then enough time. I was through the light and the light was still yellow (looked in my rearview).
Now, about two car lengths after the intersection was a big 18 wheeler parked and unloading. No big deal, he wasn't in my lane and there wasn't a lot of traffic. Except, I see a car inching out. When I see the car, my lane is clean and clear, but she is still ... inching. So I honk, giving her a fair warning and what do I receive? She JUMPS into my lane and flips me off. What the fuck? So I slam on my breaks to avoid t-boning her.
This is where the fun began. You see, momentum is a hell of a thing. As I am slamming on my breaks, everything moves forward. Including my Gatorade... that was in my hand... that was resting on the window. You see, she finishes turning in front of me and I lost the grip on the bottle and it went flying. Remember how I said it was a nice day? A day you drive with your windows down? She was driving with her windows down.
Quite frankly, it was an accident. Also, it was an amazing accident. Finally ... she deserved it. She damn near got herself killed to save 30 seconds by being a complete fucking moron. Well, she paid for it by getting hit clean in the face with a bottle of Gatorade that then soaked her. Karma works fucking fast in these parts.

The keyboard is sexy, I love the blue backlighting and it's very useful for my (mostly) nocturnal gaming habits. The LCD is fairly cool - the clock is definitely a handy feature and I look forward to any further software updates that Logitech might release and/or nifty hand-made user mods via the SDK. The 18 macro keys are very easy to set up, and though I've not used them yet, look like they would be very useful for command heavy games like WoW or Civ4.
The best thing about this keyboard though is the tactile feel of the keys. Man are they amazing - easily the best feeling keyboard I've ever used. It's a worthy upgrade just for that IMHO.
The only gripes I have are with the LCD color/backlighting and the dimmer switch. Basically, the LCD screen doesn't match any of the official pictures of the keyboard. In all of the press shots, the screen has a blue hue to match the backlight color - the actual display has no color and is (for the most part) black and white, which ends up being a little too bright. There is a dimmer control for it via the software, but it basically goes from bright, to very slightly less bright, to off. The same is true for the backlight dimmer. However, I think a careful application of blue saran-wrap might do the trick - hopefully that won't be too ghetto. All-in-all, only minor complaints to be had.
I definitely recommend the G15 if it's even remotely appealing to you.

I just got an ipod (yeah i know im late) but... these earpieces KILL my ears. Is there anything out there for my delicate feminine ears? I was looking at some of the gel ones, never tried them but i figured they probably would be ok. Also i thought they would fit well when i was wearing them snowboarding under my gay helmet.

Battlefield 1942 SHACKBATTLE Announcement for SUNDAY SOMEDAY SUNDAY at 8:00 PM CST!
Since the patch for BF2 seems to make the game even more buggy than it was before I say we go back to the 1940's and BLOW SHIT UP!!
1942 was a GOLDEN age of first person shooter gameplay. The game is well balanced, not to many annoyances exist and it is just all around fun.
We'll be playing BF1942 v1.61 at bf2.shackbattles.com - password is in themelon's profile. We'll also be using Teamspeak. EVERYONE should be on Teamspeak, at least to listen even if you don't have a mic. We'll be connecting to rydogg1's server: ts.shackbattles.com - no password required.
A few weeks ago we had a good but small game, and good fun was had all around. We've gotten a few BF1942 newbies involved. If you're new to the game and need training or help, I (and several others) should be able to spend time walking you through the different classes, weapons, tactics, etc. Just let me know! (But be sure to let me know far enough in advance so I can remember to get there early!)
We'll be playing Vanilla BF1942 1.61! But the map rotation will also include Shackmaps and the tournament map pack. You can get them at the links below.
All right, here's the batch of useful download links if you don't have them:

Proposition 76 that would have capped the amount of money the debt-ridden state can spend annually and allowed mid-year budget cuts
Proposition 77, which would have taken away the state legislature's power to draw political boundaries and handed it to an appointed panel of retired judges
Proposition 75, which would have forced public service unions to obtain members' permission each year to use dues for political campaigns, a move that would hurt the Democratic Party that depends on union support
Proposition 74, would have lengthened the time teachers needed to win permanent tenure, a move that infuriated teacher unions

and get this, it has wifi networking and 325 x 416 display (way higher than most camera LCDs), as well as miniSD music player and Symbian 9.1 based PDA. And it's the size of a credit card in height and width.
It really makes you wonder what's going to happen in the future.
Are Apple, Nokia, Sony all going to go after the same market in a couple of years? I know digicams and iPods will always be "better" at what they do...but once phones start doing 6MP and have 4GB drives built in as standard (2008?), who needs the extra oomph anyway?

However, I'm not sure if this is the nature of the game...the framerate in the menu seems ok (where the globe is spinning and the 3d characters wobble their heads). In any case, will, say, replacing the 9200SE (64bit, DX8) and throwing in a R9550 (128bit, DX9) help much?
I figure you nerds might get a kick out of this. Wired's Simson Garfinkel details some of the worst code fuck-ups of all time. I'd heard the Soviet pipeline one before but had forgotten it. Man that's rad.

A few videos of Gigi Galli, the WRC driver. The 2mb one on the right of the top row has the most unbelievable piece of cornering ever. He's sliding round a corner with all four wheels locked, and at one point is actually moving backwards, then kicks the throttle in and pulls the back end round. On tarmac.
The one on the bottom right gives you an idea of the kind of punishment the cars take on courses - about 5 all four wheels in the air jumps one after the other. In one he actually jumps the car around a corner.

for the first time in god knows how long, i had an email in my inbox that i actually fucking needed
i also had a ton of spam in there.
i selected all the spam, leaving 2 messages, and shift+del'd them
nothing happened
waited a few minutes, nothing
then i realized norton was scanning in the background and had found viruses in some attachments (probably the spam i was trying to delete), and i assume it ended up locking the inbox file while scanning.. so i stopped the scan, and thunderbird shows all the spam i deleted with blank subjects and names, and a date of 1969 (ie, 0)
i close and restart thunderbird and now my fucking inbox is GONE.
ive checked the folders under documents and settings, all the inbox files are 0 bytes. is there ANY fucking way to get my goddamn mail back?

this system does this on about a bi-weekly basis, put more effort into figuring out why than it's worth with getting no where.
The cool thing is the fact that my legit windows cd has been activated too many times because of this so I can't get back into windows! Doesn't matter it's the exact same system!

Well on this computer, one person logs in, and she only has user privlidges. She couldn't install anything. I log in as Admin and it does it to me as well. I run msconfig and some weird stuff shows up. I double check and Sav9 is updated and has scanned regularly. I force an update, force a scan. There is an EXE in the all users startup folder that I can't kill. Sav9 says its not a virus, nod32 says its not a virus. Then out of nowhere, I get a popup.
Malware? Are you shitting me. So, I run the little anti malware app that this particular customer's company wants him to use. Its up to date, and it finds nothing. I scan this specific file that won't go away and re-adds itself to registry after I clear out its start references, etc. Nothing.
On a "its 5:15am and I haven't gone to bed" whim, I try MS Anti Spyware. Lo-and-behold it actually identifies shit. No name, just unidentified shit. Still stays after reboot.
This really bothers me. How the hell could something get this deep in with out using exploits? Everything on this machine is up to date from windows update, Sav9, no other computers on the network have the problem, it sits behind a nice firewall, has the windows firewall as well. This is just ... weird.
