Almost every object in the above photograph is a galaxy. The Coma Cluster of Galaxies pictured above is one of the densest clusters known - it contains thousands of galaxies. Each of these galaxies houses billions of stars - just as our own Milky Way Galaxy does. Although nearby when compared to most other clusters, light from the Coma Cluster still takes hundreds of millions of years to reach us. In fact, the Coma Cluster is so big it takes light millions of years just to go from one side to the other! Most galaxies in Coma and other clusters are ellipticals, while most galaxies outside of clusters are spirals. The nature of Coma's X-ray emission is still being investigated - http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap060321.html

Say someone were planning a possible move to your fine city. Say this person was looking to move into an urban-bohemian-artsy type area with a good amount of culture and independent business. Say this person also did not want to spend a large amount of money to live there. Where should this person move to in Austin? The East 6th Street downtown area? The Warehouse district? East of I-35 on 5th/6th/7th? The West End Market District?
East of I-35 on 6th street seems like it might be a good area, close to all the happenings but not directly in the "hot" areas so the pricing is a bit better on housing. I found this place: http://www.1305lofts.com/home.php which seems incredibly nice, although still a bit pricey. That kind of apartment/condo would be pretty much exactly what I'd be looking for if it was a bit cheaper. Is that area of Austin a good place to be? Are there any supermarkets in that area? Or would you have to travel across town to West 6th to do your shopping, etc?

Flame me all you want but this game needs a pinch more love from teh shack crowd.
Yes. It is instanced. It keeps the dungeons private for you and your party.
Yes. It isn't solo friendly. Do you play the pen and paper D&D game alone?
Yes. It is fun.
The quests are a blast - varied and challenging. The dungeons are well designed and quite large in some cases. The implementation of the D&D leveling system is interesting, with four Action Points given out at 25% increments between levels that you can spend on enhancements specific to your race/class.
As for the monthly fee, the first add-on module has been announced (free content upgrade) and is due in April, promising some higher level content. So if the content keeps coming then the monthly fee is at least being put to good use.
Putting a group together isn't that hard either. The server communities aren't overly large (looks like there are 14 servers currently) so I've run into people that I've quested with before and this helps setting up impromptu groups.

Work at ATI for $25/hr in Markham, where I know no one, have to find a place to live, pay gobs of money to live there, pay for food, gas, utils, etc.
or
Work for a company in Ottawa for $16/hr (which I've essentially already accepted), free rent and food (parent's place), friends, and awsome biking in Gatineau.
I'd essentially be doing the exact same work, as it's my old boss from Ottawa who's trying to get me to work at ATI, but I'd have to start from scratch instead of finishing the work I started in Ottawa. Summer job, 16 weeks, no benefits.
So, who know's what the actual cost of living in Markham is?

Online and on paper, they seem good. I went to check them out at Fry's and they looked like stretched asshole because they werent configured properly. They are also DLP. So I have to worry about "raindbow effects" (havent seen this firsthand though) and bulbs burning out? The stiff at Fry's said they dont offer a warranty or replacement plan that covers that. In the end it seems like no matter what I'll have to compromise something or that there will always be something better coming out in the next year. What do you guys think?

Plz don't make me use IE to download from Fileshack.
The problem occurs shortly after the download has started. Firefox remains somewhat usable when this happens...I can continue browsing the page I was viewing but I can't use my mousewheel or change tabs. However I can close tabs. When I totally close down FireFox and try to rerun it there is already a version running in the task manager that I have to kill first.
Blar. Why fileshack, why.

I have a fairly small build. 5'10", 150 lbs. I would like to build some upper body strength, and maybe overall strength in general. Anyway, I guess I'm looking where to start. Something slower and maybe things I could do with just dumbells and such. Effectiveness is most important so I'm willing to do what it takes eventually. I'm not looking to superb results, just to 'beef up' a smidge and maintain.
Anywho, suggestions or information resources would be awesome! Thx!

I know Oblivion is taking over the shack (and my game time) but I was wondering who would be down for a Burnout Shackbattle maybe tomorrow night or later in the week? Last week we had a great shackbattle going for almost 3hrs and it was just a ton of fun with regular racing and road rage. I want to play more then just Oblivion for the next year while.

Let's say, oh... Citibank was owed, by you, $1500 in bad debt. You were planning to pay it off with your federal refund money, and while you were waiting for that money to be deposited, Citibank's mediating law firm contacted your ex-aunt (Bertha) regarding your debt. Bertha is someone which you have not seen in fifteen years, nor had you placed her name as a reference on any Citibank document.
So you then learn that they told Bertha the exact amount owed, the date they need payment, and the legal action that would be taken if payment were not remitted. Bertha then contacts your mother, since she doesn't know how to contact you directly. Your mother, being kind and helpful, contacts Citibank's law firm prior to your knowledge of the situation. They disclose the same aforementioned information to your mother.
You finally are made aware of the situation and contact the law firm. For kicks and giggles I'll mention that despite your situation, which includes being a full time student, while being a full time employee, while also supporting a fiance and two kids, they will only knock $77 off the debt. Probably about 4-500 of the debt is interest unpaid. If they someone like this to court for $1500 that said person cannot come up with, I guess they'll be getting even less money.
The moral is, pay your debts on time kids!
The question is, is it not illegal to release such information to pretty much anybody? What could one do in this situation to basically tell the law firm, "hey, what the hell you doin' over there" and get some action taken on this situation to help oneself out?

So I finally got my apartment networked. 360, XP PC, MCE PC, and my printer :-) Now I got Media Connect on my MCE PC and found out I can stream WMV video to my 360 to watch on my tv.
My question: Easiest way to re-encode all my porn in WMV format so I can watch it on my TV instead of my computer? It's just as dorky to go through everything and re-encode it in WMV just to stream to my 360, but it won't FEEL as dorky if I'm watching on a TV.
I COULD use After Effects or Premier to do it, but I'm not in the mood to setup my XP PC with all my work programs yet. But if that's the only way to do it, so be it.
