Let's just say I am officially scared the fuck of sharp objects from now on. I am not willing to sacrifice my face for the sake of learning the technique; I have enough scars on my face. I am done.
Go ahead. Tell me, "I told you so".

PC won't boot anymore with the PCI-Express card in the primary PCI-E slot. It works in the secondary slot though. I already replaced the PSU and tried a different PCI-E card. Same problem. It's got to be the mainboard, right?
Mainboard is Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe.

I've been eyeing the ViewSonic VP2030b LCD panel as a replacement (20.1", 1600x1200, 1000:1 contrast ratio [bullshit method I'll bet, as opposed to ANSI method], 8ms response time). Sound any good? They're charging $100 more than what NewEgg is, but perhaps they'll have a better dead pixel policy than "at least eight dead pixels, or no return".

Anyone else going to be watching UFC 59 tonight? It'll be showing for free at a Hooter's near you!
I generally watch more Pride because I feel like the level of the fighters there is better overall. That being said, the UFC really has come a long way in the past couple of years. Of course, I'm interested in seeing Tito back in ring, like him or hate him, he's an exciting fighter. I think he'll probably take it in round two, but not before Forrest gives him some trouble.
Also, I'm eager to see Arlovski fight as well. Training in Sambo myself, I was super pumped last year when, after dropping Sylvia, Arlovski slammed a textbook straight-ankle lock on him for the submission. (For those not in the know, leglocks are a HUGE part of Sambo. It probably focuses more on leglocks than any other grappling style.) I doubt that'll happen again, but I see Arlovski dominating Sylvia pretty handly regardless. AA is just in a class of his own in the UFC.
Also hoping that they show Karo's fight! It's always awseome to see a high level judoka in a MMA match. I can't remember who it was on, but that drop seoi-nage he pulled off was a thing of beauty a couple of years ago.
Anyone else watching, or have different picks?

Nonetheless, I find myself growing weary beyond all measure at the horrible, horrible english and inability to communicate with even basic logical skills on forums internet wide, and the problem only seems to be growing worse as time goes by.
I really quite enjoy communicating with a wide variety of people online on different subjects, and forums are usually the means of engaging in that sort of interaction. But when every other word is 'u', 'r' or 'lolgay' wait, it's the shack, it gets really hard to have any desire to participate in whatever community it happens to be.
Bonus points for three inch thick sigs and animated avatars of half naked women.
Double bonus points for flaming troll wars so obvious you can't but shake your head.
Triple bonus points for all caps, ninety two exclamation points, and an average level of discussion that looks to be about 5th or 6th grade level at best - on a forum or subject that you'd expect to be adults, if not educated people.
You know you've probably been exposed to it for too long when any post you think about making runs through your mental checklist of potential flame points for idiots to attack you, so one paragraph of your post is whatever you wanted to communicate, and the next three are pre-emptive defenses against the next nine useless responses that you know you'll get (which you then get anyway)

Tool is probably the only band that I can think of, that consistently
delivers good music without exceptions...sorta like metallica was in
the 80's/early 90's.
Too bad kids these days don't know what the hell good music is,
I'm in love with a stripper (rolleyes)

But after I was working through it, I grew depressed. We'll get to that later.
Track your beaten games. This is as simple as making a list, by year and month or day if you know it. Where to keep this list? In your profile. I think it'd be a pretty neat thing to click someone's profile and see what games they have finished. If I knew html I'd sort by color as well: GameCube/GBA/DS, Xbox/360, PSX, PS2, PSP and of course PC. With this kind of format you could easily browse someone's profile and see what games they've finished.
Also, it is very encouraging to try finishing your shelved games when you start this list. Upon making my list for this year, I had... none.
So I checked last year. Two. The year before that? Two. In 2003, however, I actually finished eight. That is really depressing. I referred to GameRankings for '03/04/05 releases and realized that I played many of the top 50 games, but did not finish most of them. Ugh. But enough of my problems...
The easiest format Roushi and I came up with was this:
Games I have beaten in 2006:
(4/13) Kingdom Hearts 2
(4/10) Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence
(4/7) Barbie Horse Adventures
(3/28) Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion
We thought about using the system icons from the front page, but found out that they messed up the formatting and spacing. So colors are simpler. If you wish to denote between systems, you can always add (PSP) or (DS) at the end of the game's title to denote a certain port. But colors, I think, are easier and quicker to pick up. Also, if someone can come up with the html code for making the red/yellow/blue/green colors, that'd be handy. For an example, check my profile. I don't know html so I don't have the right colors, unfortunately. Anyway, Roushi and I hope this is something neat that would interest you guys.

So in addition to this: http://www.shacknews.com/ja.zz?id=11913575
I will also get to meet Nobuo Uematsu and Koji Kondo, as they are now attending the Chicago premiere! ..!!!
Koji Kondo, if you don't know, composes the Super Mario and Legend of Zelda music. I can already feel my brain shutting down. I'm not even sure I'll be able to coordinate a handshake. Aghh!
