Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Apr 27, 2006 6:00pm PDTI've never been much of a Ghost Recon player but I checked out the Ghost Recon : Advanced Warfighter demo and I kinda enjoyed it. As in.. I actually played it more than once! I must be getting old or something because the slower pace was appealing to me. The tactical map could use a few more tweaks but it was fun stuff. Try these on:
- Wacky inventions for disabled - Your brain password - Video blogs? - Lucky dude, except for the accident part - Lazy gadgets - RealNetworks continues asskickingLastly, a bit more info on just how much Exxon is struggling with so much turmoil in the oil industry. Gotta feel bad for them. But hey these profits are good for us!

Honestly, I hate them. They are just not fun for me, but I am obsessive compulsive, and I *HAVE* to clear them out.
It takes me about an hour to clear a freaking gate out, which isn't bad...but honestly, I just don't want to do it anymore.
WHY AM I COMPELLED TO DO IT, THEN!?!
I need psychiatric help.

Fuck your "tactical screen" and fuck your AI. And fuck 1up for saying it was better than the 360's. No. BAD 1up. If I want to give my troops orders that MAYBE won't get them killed, why do I have to go do it from a fucking top down satellite view just so I can give them a waypoint that they interpret as, "Hey, I'll go within 40 feet of here and maybe look around at some shit!" If I give you a waypoint, you go to the waypoint, you stupid fucks. And yeah, dealing waypoints through the tactical menu? Hell, the tactical menu isn't intuitive at all. The troop command system would have been a hell of a lot nicer if it didn't yank me from the action into a sterile, placid satellite view. Think Full Spectrum Warrior, where you can immediately issue orders in such a manner, and see the results- how the troops will stack and cover themselves -before you issue it. The tactical view is passable to get "the bigger picture," but not for actually setting up tactical maneuvers. And what the fuck, with modern UAVs, we can't fucking zoom in any more than what, 2x-3x?
And for a cream-of-the-crop armed squad, you'd think the ghosts would be a bit sharper when moving, covering, and firing.
Seriously, fuck this game. I had hopes for it. It's like a nice girl shows up at your door with an adventurous look in her eye, and then when you get all up on your bed and undress her, she has a penis. And then she hits you in the face with that penis.

How could you find the length of a bit string using only bitwise operations?
like str(8) = str(9) = 4
Or phrased another way, how can you pull the first 1 out of a bit string (reading from left to right) -- without looping.

THE ULTIMATE HICCUP CURE.
My sister had them today and it reminded me of what I taught her years ago; every person I have imparted this knowledge to has used it and had it work, though half of them thought I was trying to kill them until they tried it. Just strike a regular wood match (haven't tried it with any other kinds, so I can't say if they work) and extinguish it into a smallish glass of water, then chug it. Seriously. You may not believe me now, but next time you have them, you'll see. Oh, yes; you'll see.

No matter what game I'm playing, BF2, CS, quake4, quake 3, WoW, When im playing roughly every 5 minutes I will get a quick lag-pause. I have perfectly normal latency any pther time. Just these little pauses that can sometimes happen at bad times.
I thought maybe it was my wireless card losing the signal from my router but I've upgraded to a 802.11g card and have tried disabling the card then reenabling.
It doesn't happen when I'm browsing the web or downloading, just when I'm playing a game.
I'm tired of trying to fix this and will end up reformatting if no one can help me. It's a small problem but its annoying as fuck
Thanks for any help in advance guys.
