For those of you that run World of Warcraft and alt-tab out to other apps, you've probably been driven insane now by the "percent chance to crank your wow volument to 2000% on return to wow.exe"
AFAIK this bug has existed since release. Well, I have a fix that has worked for many people in my guild and hopefully will work for you...
Navigate to your World of Warcraft\WTF\ folder (default is under C:\Program Files\)
Open the config.wtf file there with WordPad (not Notepad)
Add the following line at the bottom of the list inside the file.
SET soundmaxhardwarechannels "0"
Save the file and close it.
Start the game and test to see if the issue still exists.
I got this info from *gasp* writing to blizz tech support. I think this is the first time in my life that tech support actually helped me with something!

1) This driving on the left thing bugs the hell out of me.
2) Games are fucking expensive. Actually everything there is fucking expensive.
3) London chicks are hot.
4) Londoners (Londonians? Londonons? San Diegans?) dress very stylish.
5) After the London Shackmeet I can still say I haven't yet met a Shacker I didn't like.
6) Their ice hockey is the roughest I've ever seen. They can have fights right in front of the ref and it doesn't get called (Only 3 penalties called in the one game I saw and it had a lot of roughing, hooking, holding, holding the stick, slashing, tripping, interference and even almost a full-blown fight after a goal celebration that didn't get called!)
7) I haven't drunk one bad beer there and I tried a lot of different ones.
8) People are polite and helpful. I take everything back when I said that England is just Germany with English speaking people.
9) Their TV programs rule. On Sky Digital I always found something worth watching.
I'm gonna go back there this summer. Shackmeet plan initiation.

1920x1200 on a 17" laptop display, as opposed to a 24" dell monitor. My current assumption is that the larger monitors are more comfortable for longer stretches. The glossy 1920x1200 laptops do look quite legible though toraz REALLY hates them lol.
I ask because if Apple/Sony release a dual core 1920x1200 laptop this month, I'll be tempted to ditch my 2405FPW and tower and just get one of those. But I sometimes work for crazy-long stretches, and am wondering if the pixel density on the laptop displays will kill me.

Finally got the game last night (after 15 visits to 12 different stores). I have a Fishing rod, and a net.
Nook is going to be closed tomorrow.
I've figured out fishing (Caught a string fish to pay off most of my mortage), but just got the net and don't know how to use it. Looks like I won't get a shovel for a while unless I go to someone else's town.

today my boss asked me how we can get a second desk printer connected to each workstation. we have a bunch of old crappy hp laserjet 6s from like 1985 hanging around that are pretty much junk that he wants to use.
i told him that using that old crappy equipment would introduce huge potential headaches not to mention having to buy new lpt interface cards, and we should just buy new laser printers with a usb interface.
he about shit himself because i wanted him to drop thousands of dollars that he didn't need to on new printers.
so i told him that 3 new laserjets would run about $300+shipping. he seriously denied me. "no way i bought those old laserjets for $800 each!"
so i dialed up newegg and said "see?"
and he about shit himself while i explained that laser printer tech has matured enough that high quality hardware is much easier and cheaper to produce since he bought these ancient LJ6s.
tl;dr: my boss lives under a damn rock.

Now that I have your attention. I never watch TV, when i did it was all cartoon network, discovery, animal and the travel channel. So when it came time to think of something for the entertainment room or living room you might say, I decided to just invest into a 30" widescreen monitor and use it to watch DVD's and of course play my console and PC games.
The hard part about all this is finding something decent that will hold all of this.. since it will hold my tower, keyboard and mouse, I can't use a standard entertainment center ( from what i've seen so far anyway ). Does anyone use a similar setup? or know of a good desk or entertainment system that will be sufficant to my noodles needs?
Also pictures of current setups you guys might have will be great in helping me decide which way to go with this.
P.S. I love you guys!

I don't think I've laughed this much at a game in a long long time. Was so much more fun now that I'm a bit older and know more about Discworld and understand more of the puns.
Awesome++ game. :)

In Virginia, there are special license plates for any manner of interest, and you can personalize basically any one of them for a nominal fee and have them delivered in a couple of weeks. In Colorado there are very few special plates that are not specific to special interests (ie: i have no use for a vietnam veterans plate), but more importantly, only 2 of the plates can be personalized. And to personalize the one that isn't the hidious white on green design, it's a $60 up front fee, $50 a year, and then it takes 3-6 months to be delivered. So lame.

Yeah, so once you flip the switch on the HD cable from "TV" to "HDTV" the graphics start looking a lot more like 720p
I'm retarded. >:/

I'm on the Biosphere level, and my 'green army' won't fight. I never found any research that would allow them to (in the demo they could). I have gone back and checked the other locations and could not find anything I missed. Anyone remember if this is normal? Not sure how I will be able to complete this without my green army defending itself.
Thanks!

I was thinking about getting a small TV for my computer room, so I thought, hey why not get something that can do HDTV for the possible future addition of a xbox360.
This was the first TV I looked up.

First thing I notice is it says: HD-Ready, and can do 580p/1080i.
Question #1 Will this TV be able to do 720p? Or will be only be able to do the 2 resolutions listed.
Question #2 If this TV cannot do 720p, would it be a waste, since 720p is apparently better than 1080i for gaming/fast action movies.
Question #3 Do all sattelite/cable providers use set top boxes that contain built in HDTV decoders? Or would the lack of a built in decoder make this TV 'crappy'.
Question #4 Can anyone recomend a good HDTV that is around 26" for a good price?

Whats the deal with importing games? I kinda wanted to try that one japanese game ... I'm too lazy to find the exact name again, but you know...its like OSU! KOTAKE! ODAMA!! or something hahahaha... also, is there any news of elecktroplanton? I was really interested in that game as well ...
I dont think there is any region locks or anything like that, so the only thing to take into consideration would be the japanese text (and how I don't know a character of kanji??)

I'm eyeing a samsung hdtv that's $850 and the 3 year protection plan for it is $110. I have a coupon on the way to drop down the price of the tv 85 bucks so I thought it may be a good idea to get the extended coverage.
Theres a reason for me asking...
The TV I want is known to have geometry issues so I'm wondering if that's a liable reason for replacement later on down the line in say 2 years. Will they replace it because of that and if so, will they give me a tv of my choice in the same price range? Can I request a gift card for the amount instead? God I wish Costco carried the tv(Samsung Slimfit 30" TXR3081WH) so I wouldn't have to deal with this crap.
Thanks for the help.
