Starcraft Ghost indefinitely postponed
Blizzard Entertainment Inc. today announced plans to focus the company's console-development efforts on the next generation of console platforms. As part of this shift in focus, BlizzardÃ‚Â® will indefinitely postpone production on StarCraft: Ghost(TM) while evaluating opportunities for utilizing the additional power of the new and upcoming console systems.

Huh, I thought all this was over:

Most teachers said that they did not know enough about evolution to teach it themselves, but one of them, after looking around to make sure they were safely out of anyoneÃ¢Â€Â™s earshot, explained that the teachers are told by school administrators that it would be Ã¢Â€Âœgood for their careersÃ¢Â€Â not to mention such topics in their classes.

lord of the rings: bfme 2 fucking infuriates me.

i hate when you get to a point when playing through the single player portion of a game where you cannot defeat it, and the worst part is that it takes a good deal of time (45 minutes+) to get yourself to a point where you have a chance, but then the game brings in an unbelievable amount of enemies..

I really cannot see how anyone ever beat this part of the game. I refuse to start the game over on medium or easy because of this one part.

just in case anyone cares, the part is when you're the dwarves and you have to protect the city of dale/first part of the mine - they bring so many enemies in that its almost impossible, and just when you get it where you can almost defeat it, SURPRISE, ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE IS A WHOLE FUCKLOAD OF ENEMIES THAT JUST APPEARS OUT OF NOWHERE BEHIND YOUR FRONT LINES

un-fucking-believable. im seriously about to uninstall this game this pissed me off so much. >:P

The new date is May 31st, for $19.99. In a recent talk with Gabe he said it took him 7 hours to finish the expansion/episode.

attn:Hardware knowing womenz

I'm having trouble with my computer. Last night I left it on with the CS:S menu open. I came back a couple of hours later, and the screen was all multicolored lines and the lines would change directions and colors every few minutes. So I turned it off and left it off for about an hour think maybe it's a heating issue or something.

I come back later and turn it on. I get to the login screen and login. "Yes!" It starts logging in and the background starts flickering and the exact same thing happens and I have to turn it off. When I turned it on this morning I couldn't even get to the windows loading screen without the same thing happening.

I think its my videocard (GeForceFX5700 128mb) but I'm not sure. Any help would be cool.

I realise I'm about five years late on this but, I just finished watching season 1 of 24 and (spoilers ahoy)

1) Palmer was one honourable dude, he's got my vote even if he's a pinko commie.
2) Nina's "turning" was WAAAAAAY contrived, I mean, seriously, they run out of script ideas?
3a) Kim is an idiot
3b) Kim is hot, but an idiot.
4) the only character in the entire season I really felt anything for was Janet, poor poor Janet :(

Cool new app just released.

First, let me preface by saying that yes, I do work for this company.

However, I have been using this myself and it is pretty sweet.

Altiris Software Virtualization Solution (SVS)
http://www.download.com/Software-Virtualization-Solution/3000-2651_4-10516818.html?tag=lst-0-1

Basically, what this allows you to do is install an app on your PC (into a "layer" as we call it) and then instantly turn it on or off. When you install something using SVS all it's registry keys and files get isolated and put somewhere else on your PC. You can then activate or deactivate it as you want.

Here are a few uses I can think of:
1. Do you have two apps that causes problems for one another? Install one or both into layers and then activate one when you want to use it and deactivate the other.

2. Want to try out a beta of something? Install it into a layer and when you are done just delete the layer. Alot of time uninstalls of apps don't remove everything (I actually work on install/uninstall software). Doing this can keep your machine in a good clean state.

3.Install Firefox into a layer and then "reset" the layer whenever you are done using Firefox. Reseting throws away any changes that have occurred since the app what originally installed. Sure, you lose history but you get a nice clean browsing experience, any spyware etc gets removed.

So I've got this rapier, I guess, from Toledo Spain. It's at least 40 years old. My mom bought it in Spain in the 60's.

She basically just gave it to me when I was a toddler to go hit things with. It was unsharpened, and I would smack around anything I could. Frequently, I would use it as a spear. It's in rough shape, but I'm not really looking to restore it. I'm afraid if I find out how much it was worth before I destroyed it I might be tempted to stab myself with it.

However, for some reason, I unscrewed the hilt and threw it away in a fit of insanity. I often did things like that thinking they might give me magical powers, or that the camera would pan away into a montage and I would wake up an adult. Not sure what I was thinking. The point is, I don't have it anymore.

For the last 15 years or so the thing has had a firepoker handle for a hilt. This would be fine, except it's a little small, and it doesn't quite match the threading on the blade that well, so it's loose. That gets really frustrating when I start hitting shit with my sword, which I do every day. I'm already frustrated when I get to the point where shit needs to be hit with a sword, and a squirley sword handle doesn't help.

So I need a replacement hilt. Where in the almighty fuck am I going to find such a thing? I don't want a fruity highlander one either. Someone help me out. Bean, this is right up your alley.

Further Adventures of HALP SHACK:
I need an Excel pro... I basically have a series of columns that I am evaluating and writing the result into a new column alongside them. Basically I have a bunch of If statements saying like:
If(A2=1;"A";"")&If(B2=1;"B;"")&... and so on. This works fine, but I have like 40 columns, and I might need to change the output text arbitrarily.

The value I want to output, I want to retrieve from a static cell header above each column, so I rewrote it as:
If(A2=1;A1;"")&If(B2=1;B1;"")&... etc.
This is technically fine, but if I copy and paste that along the new column, it changes both the A2 and A1 parts of the formula to relative to the pasted row (so the next row's formula is pasted as If(A3=1;A2;"")&If(B3=1;B2;"")&...).
Is there a way to force Excel NOT to take a cell reference relatively but rather statically? Ie, I want, when I paste, for it to keep the A1 portion as is, but change the A2 portion relatively.

Not sure this all makes sense... but if so, can anyone help?
