Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Mar 21, 2006 7:18pm PSTWell.. mad props to the old hard drive in the freezer trick. Had a drive flake out this morning with the dreaded clicking of death. Gave it 30 minutes in the freezer and it fired back up long enough to get a ghost image. The next reboot after that it died again. Good times.

Lots of SHIT. But also a few good things...
May I recommend "Sideways" as one of the funniest and most well written movies to have come out in 2004. "Ong Bak" and "The French Connection" are pretty bitchin' too.

Couple months ago my power unit died on me big way, litteraly went boom, caught fire and all... Problem is all the components in my tower: CPU, MoBo, RAM, Cards everything (except the DVD/floppy disk drives), fried at the same time. Of course my two HDDs died too. (a maxtor and an old seagate totalling >100gigs)
So, question is: assumming they died because of some over surge the plates and datas could be safe; is there anyway to get these back without spending $3k in some pro data recovery service?

Are any of you into George Martin's Song of Ice and Fire series? I'm a couple hundred pages into A Clash of Kings after ravenously devouring the first book, and I figure I'll have plowed through all four books pretty soon. I just can't stop.
I love all the nobility, the intrigue and maneuvering and backstabbing, the bloody realism of the whole thing. It's like high fantasy without the elves and sorcery (for the most part) and it's all the more satisfying because it's grounded in some kind of medieval plausibility.
I hope it keeps getting better and better. I wanna read some of the Martin forums online to scratch my itch but I'm wary of spoilers. So tell me how badass you think these books are!

Do the guards have a sixth sense? How does the alarm system work? I want to be able to steal my way through the game, but it seems kinda impossible. Oh.. and does the alert / alarm system function the same way with killing NPC's? Does it have to be night for stealing stuff? I want to know!

This whole 3 re-runs 1 new episode, 3 reruns is really pissing me off. I think the show is really shooting itself in the foot because its making people lose intrest.

How is the multiplayer? I was home sick yesterday, and when I say home sick, I mean home sick! I had a NASTY stomach thing going on. As sick as I was, I did manage to pick up a copy of this game. I played through the first planet on single player. Damn is that touchscreen mouselook thing hot stuff! Such a great control scheme. I didn't get to try multi-player, but I did add all the friend codes on thomw's site this AM. Hopfully I can give it a try tonight.

There is a domain I want, I've contacted the guy about the price, it's a touch on the high side, but I'd still be willing to pay it. Just looking for any horror stories :)
