A U.S. couple, while on vacation in Mexico bought what was described as a Mexican hairless puppy. They smuggled it back into the country. When it became ill, they took it to a veterinarian, and were surprised to hear that it was not a dog; it was a sewer rat.

I remember the first time I came across .js files that were spyware components or flat out malicious scripts. I am never amazed at the new ways people think of to hide annoying/destructive applications or applets.
I am sure most of you know about this but I didnt and wanted to share.

I've gotten pretty good with the spartan by just playing the survival mode with her for hours on end (great for learning varriable offensive manuevers) and she really packs a MEAN punch. Unfortuently they did not give her a full move set, she really only has a few combos at her disposal and lacks no real suprise moves, if you learn her move set well she can be countered with every single move out there. She is on the other hand by far the best person to counter with. Her counters are DEVESTATING. I've been in situations where I have ZERO health and the opposition has a full or 3/4 full bar and completly decimated them using only 2 -3 counters.
Hopefully we can get a bigger game going tonight, but my connection doesnt seem to work well for hosting so if anyone else would love to create a room that would be great!

I know about the possibility of problems with new hardware (i'm getting apple care) i'm getting it with a gig of ram and the 7200 rpm hd.
Someone mentioned it would be better to get to sticks of memory rather than it all on one stick, which is more expensive, why is this?

Is there anything specific you have to do to change from a CRT to an LCD, like change your refresh rate beforehand? Or when you plug in the LCD, does the computer know whats up and adjust things like that for you?

I ordered a nice 19'' Widescreen Viewsonic Flat Panel last week as an interstore transfer between Fry's. It all looked great, response time is fantastic, contrast ratio is quite good, all of that. Then I look at the resolution: 1440x900...
Hmmm, is that bad? I mean at work I'm running 1600x1200 on a 20 and that's about right, so I'm a bit scared that it's going to be jinormous.

I understand many things that are deemed Canadian; Hockey, maple syrup, Rush, I get all that. What I do not get is Ketchup Flavored Potato Chips.
WTF?

I have a level 60 warlock that I stopped playing sometime last year. I got sick of having to raid with 40 other guys. I would love to play the game again, but if I log in, all there is to do now is those giant raids and its impossible if you're not in a good guild. Battlegrounds was never much fun for me either. I wish they had more high level 5 man instances.
