Anyone have suggestions for http://kinskorner.com/shack/ ? You can now add shackers from the Find box if they aren't stored on my end. So if any of you guys know of anyone who no longer post, you can add them for completion sake.
Thanks.

wow, i understood advent children as much as i understood the plot nuaces of david lynch's lost highway. jesus christ...i mean i've never played a FF game in my life, but i don't think that should've been a requirement to follow the plot.
someone needs to fire the creative director over there at square enix. i thought the plot to spirits within} was tripe....can we can this cheesy shit about hurting the earth and stuff? i mean, it's really weak. but since i've never played FF, i guess it could be the theme in all those games.
pls hand the tech over to a studio who can make something cool pls...that flight of the osiris was pretty good...pls, no more we hurt earth, earth hurts us shit. and stop witht he androgenous looking male leads. it's fucking creepy.
and the music was bad too. alot of the time it was totally inappropriate for the scene. classical piano during a tense fighting scene, bad hairband rock'n'roll chase music.
the good
1. fight scenes were hot
2. animation was gorgeous
3. the voice overs were pretty good
the bad
1. just about everything else...especially the non-sensical plot and music.

i have x textboxes, i want them to say different things.
ie:
but the first time, textbox0 = i, the second time it will be textbox1 = i, then textbox2 = i etc. so i want 'i' to apply to both which textbox, as well as other things, such as the output. now of course i know it doesnt work as easily as that, so thats why i was thinking maybe an array of textboxes, so i can just say TextBox[i]...but thats not quite the solution either i dont think.
thanks for the help + sry for bugging any of j00 :(

What's the difference between these 2 products, one is 3x the cost of the other.
Both of them appear to be 19" rackmountable 24 port switches, both seem to have 2x gigabit ports as well
One is "N-Way" one is auto sensing / auto negotiation err??
or is the more expensive one, all 24 ports are gigabit whereas the cheap one only has 2 gigabit ports?
I need it for a very small, simple basic business, currently using a 10mbit 24 port HUB, they really have simple basic needs but I'd hate to buy the one at 1/3 the cost but find there's something drastically wrong with it?

So far, we got:
- Warcraft 3
- Quake 1-3
- Red Alert 2
Of those, I think Red Alert 2 is a particulary good choice because it's goofy and no one really knows how to play it. Perfect for your typical wacky LAN surprise moment. Any other older but still valid games you guys can think of?

I’m thinking of taking up some form of martial arts, the reason being if I ever get in a sticky situation I can get myself out of it. Fitness is the secondary reason. I was thinking of Aikido because it’s supposedly about taking out not only multiple attackers, but also taking them out as quickly as possible. So no fucking around, just twist snap and the guy’s down. I also intend on doing some form of grappling or shoot wrestling at a later stage so if the fight ever goes to ground I know how to deal with that also. Does anyone have any thoughts as to which martial art is best in real street brawl situations? Don’t get me wrong, I’m not going to go out looking for fights, but with the fuckheads you get around the place these days I think it’s a good thing to know.

So i restarted my PC tonight, after attempting to fix another problem with my USB ports. Upon restart the fucking piece of shit refuses to boot and my C drive sounds like it is having a fucking heart attack. I swap a drive over and the same deal. I even try the drive on another older PC just to make sure the drive isn't fucked, and it's fine.
So i'm at the point where i'm completely fed up with desktop PC's. I'm deciding whether i should sell the gear i currently have, keep my LCD and instead rent out a decent laptop so i can still do my 3D work.
I'll be able to take the laptop with me to college and i can still hook it up to a monitor and mouse to use it like a regular desktop machine when i'm at home. The only problem is RAM, i need atleast 2 gigs in order to satisfy my application needs.
So does this sound like a good idea to anyone else? I'm just generally fucking sick and tired with having to piss fart around with a desktop machine all the time. I'm instead going to focus my gaming needs on consoles, but if i get a laptop with atleast a 7800 equivalent GPU, i can still play the occasional game.
So yeah, talk me out of it (or back me up)
