- I've tried disabling Javascript and java
- I've tried reinstalling Java, verified istallation good
Looked like just Javascript in the source, but doesn't that get reinstalled with Java? We've rebooted since and that should have cleared up anything corrupt I'd hoped... Thanks in advance.

This seems like the hip new web programming language. So I'm going to not do PHP, and do this instead. Is this a stupid idea, or does it not really matter?
Is this a good place to start learning? http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/01/20/rails.html
My programming knowledge doesn't really extend beyond HTML.

All classes have the same animations. No real sense of divergence between classes.(I was a theif and was suprised to find a warrior could lock pick just as much ease) Sneaking was lame and breaking into peoples houses was a luck of draw(even at night) if a person would be on the other side of the door ready to spot you. Being spotted even it was clear you were out of sight. Rewards for upgrades in skills sucked.
But worst of all I felt constrained in what I wanted to do. Couldn't find lockpicks, by the time I did find them I really didn't need that many because I rarely broke lockpicks after getting proper timing. Can't sell stolen items except to certain people. Sneaking is useless in lower skills. Arrows do so little damage even on sneak attacks. Forget about stealing. WTf am I thief or mr good guy?
Instead I'll go back and play what the game should have been like:

Before winning the lottery, Swofford impregnated two co-workers and married one of them. The women were sisters.
This week's episode was like a scene straight out of Ghost Recon. Awesome explosions, people getting shot the fuck up, and deaths.
I swear, it was like I was watching one of our shackbattles. Palmer (from 24 and the star of this show) had on one of the GRAW skins, command of a UAV, a black helicopter he had to rescue, and one of those guns that can also shoot grenades.
It looks like they put a lot of money into this show, and if Im not mistaken it might be from the same people that gave us 24 (david mamet - sounds familiar I think).
Anyway, please check this show out because if gets canned due to not enough people watching and it costing too much to make, I will cry. The guy who I will always refer to as Palmer is one of the best actors ever.

It has started.
I was reading through LNC and the topic Remo posted about Namco releasing Ridge Racer 7 for the PS3 completely woke me up. I dont know what it was -maybe that news in some way makes the release seem valid now -but I got really really excited. I mean, if you think about it...the PS3 lunch is only 6 months away. Thats really not too far off. We're almost 5 months into this year and look how fast thats gone!
Also, WTF is up with Sony's DRM time limit on the video DLs from their video service for the PSP. What a trainwreck......horrible decision considering Apple's iTunes service is pretty successful and they have zero time limits.

When coming back from Japan last year my friend and I ran into a guy who pretty much collects airline miles as a hobby. Basically he told us about this message board of crazy jet setting fools that assemble and stack milage bonuses like some WOW player. As a result they get free/cheap international flights, and do crazy things like goto Thailand for the Weekend (basically get there, see a couple places, eat and come back) for the bonuses. A while back someone referenced this board, but I can't for the life of me remember what it is...
Anyone have any clue what I'm talking about?

So I dyed my hair my normal black.. and while I'm waiting the 25 minutes I decide to pass the time by playing a bit of Oblivion.. Yanno.. maybe look around this new town I found when I found Joffery or whoever ...
Yeah.. an hour and change later after I CLOSE the first Oblivion gate I remember I STILL HAVE THE DYE IN MY HAIR.
I pulled out a clump of hair while shampooing :\

Anyone interested in seeing Silent Hill this weekend? I'm planning on seeing it, and I think it'd be cool too get shackers together for it, seeing as how its a video game movie that won't suck...oh please be better than Doom :-(
So, anyone interested? Consider it for a good cause (getting me out of the damn house).

The thing works great, EXCEPT, that the power supply seems to be very finiky. If I push the power cord into too far (will not boot). If I push it down, it boots up and then shuts off in about 5 seconds. Repeats multiple times. If I push it in just the right amount and then let it sit (don't touch the power cord). It will stay on and work fine for days!
So, I guess this means my power supply is fuxor'd right?? I bought it 2 weeks ago from a brick and mortar store here in town, so they should replace the PS at no cost right? (I'd call and check but they aren't open yet).
