First Post!
by Maarten Goldstein, Jan 20, 2006 7:30am PSTIf you just can't do without Diablo music at work or whereever you might be at a computer without wanting to fire up the game, Battle.net now has a Flash format Diablo2 MP3 player. A Silent Hill trailer is up over at Yahoo Movies, and it actually looks pretty good. I must admit I have only played the first game though (and not even all the way through), I never got around to playing any of the others. But hey any video game adaptation that shows Hollywood you don't have to rape the source material or insult your audience is something I'll support.

I must say, I'm pretty satisfied with Remo's contributions to the site. I like the writing style, and the fact that he know's when humor is appropriate and when it's not. Too many writers for sites like the Shack spend way too much time trying to sound witty, and it ends up feeling contrived or patronizing. I'm also impressed with the quantity of articles, and although I may not always agree, his points of view are well articulated. I've been a regular Shacker since 1999, and the content lately has been some of the best I've seen. Keep this guy around.
...Remo, just send the check to me via PayPal.

the girlie and I are going to be looking for a new video camera... it's reeeeally a pain to go thru all the online review sites, becuase almost every brand/model out there has 1 bad review to every 1 good review ratio..
So.. my question.. Dear Shack, do you have a preferred Video Camera for under $700 ?? Needs to be MiniDV, have good NightShot (infared if possible hint, hint, wink wink..) and any other nifty things would be nice..
thanks! hugs and kisses..
g0nk.

"Even though they are a bulky animal, hippopotamuses can run faster than a human on land. There are estimates of its actual running speed varying from 30 km/h (18 mph) to 40 km/h (25 mph), or even 48 km/h (30 mph). The hippo can maintain these higher estimates for only a few hundred yards."
my roomate told me this and i couldnt believe it, i had to look it up on wikipedia. ok, i NEED a video of a hippo running full speed!! someone find one for me!!

HELP!
I just bought a 9800 pro 128mb.
I installed the 6.1 Cat drivers, turned Vsync off etc but in CS 1.6 my FPS are really sucking balls, my geforce 4 ti4400 128mb got better fps with the same settings..100FPS constant, with the 9800 I'm getting like 60-75 with people on my screen...
Sooo... since this is my first ATI card are there things I'm missing? what could be causing this? Any secret settings etc?
Also, in the CCC it seems like the only option is to set AA/AF to 2x or application controlled. How do I just plain turn it off?
Thanks!
Any help would be much appreicated.

i have a photographer friend whose site is hosted with one of those $5 hosting companies. They don't offer any PHP, ASP, or any other scripting languages. So I am stuck with HTML I guess.
Any way, I am redoing his website and he has like 50 or so photos that he wants display like a slide-show. Considering I don't have any scripting support, is my only option to create 50 seperare HTML pages for each photo? Isn't there a way to create 1 or 2 templates and somehow have these templates read from a flat file that includes paths to photos?

I set a low-interaction one up at my house, and put it out in my DMZ. It basically emulates an ftp, telnet and http server, and provides basic responses to login attempts, then records all the input, and the source IP.
It's cool to see people try to hack it and what attempts they are using. The old IIS unicode trick is still pretty popular. I'm going set a more sophisticated one up later, and see if I can capture an entire website defacement and the methods they use.
The low-interaction one I used is called "Back Officer Friendly" google it...it's very easy to use and a pretty good intro to honeypots. I think I'm going to leave it installed on my PC in my lan, to give me some advanced warning if someone gets past my security and starts scanning for open stuff.

Good article about Malick http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10548321/from/RSS/
The verdict: I loved it.
It's not for everyone. I honestly think it may only last in theaters about three weeks, but it was great. I'm not a big fan of Colin Farrell but he did a great job. The directing is top notch, but you'll immediately notice Terence Malick's style if you've seen The Thin Red Line (another movie which is "not for everyone")
I won't say anything more than... go see it with an open mind. I plan to see it again soon myself.

Memory like this for example:

Chose the PC4000 flavor as it's actually (slightly) cheaper than the regular PC3200 of same brand. Don't know why that's the case, but faster RAM is always better for OC'ing, is it not?
