by Maarten Goldstein, May 05, 2006 6:44am PDTSeeing how I'll be on a plane for much too long on Sunday, I decided to pick up a new PSP game to keep me entertained. Ended up going with Lemmings, for nostalgia's sake. They did a fairly good job on it. It's easy to control, and looks good; 3D elements aren't annoying at all. They did make it a bit more cutesy though (mostly in presentation), which I don't really understand, plus I don't really care for the music they put in. But overall it's still a lot of fun to play.

Demon's Souls servers extended again
Having just narrowly avoided a Windows re-install, I have decided that it is well past time to get serious about backing up my computer. As I see it, I can do some combination of the following three things:
1. Get an external hard drive
2. Get Norton Ghost
3. Make DVD backups
What's the right combination? Have I missed something?
Thanks in advance.

Recommend me some site for some good basic css and such. I'm pretty good in the whole programming category but my web design skills suffer badly. I just feel it's time I learn some web skillz. It's just for my personal use, not anything I need for work or making the money.
Right now I'm reading:

I'd like to find something that might get more into the intermediate/advanced details about making a file server (if that is the correct term). I want to work on designing a page that allows uploads and downloads with a simple comments system attached. Nothing really fancy but I'm not sure how to search for help on it.

Now that we know that there will be a multiplayer demo for Armed Assault (followed by an SP one), who here would be interested in checking it out in a Shack MP ArmA session where a bunch of the veteran ShackTac OFP'ers are in-game to help out anyone new to the series?
This probably won't happen for three or four months (whenever the demo comes out, TBA), but I was thinking about it today so I figured I'd toss it out there to see what the interest is like.
There's nothing to lose in checking out the demo, so anyone who's fond of any kind of wargames (CoD2, BF2, GRAW, whatever) should definitely jump in to give this a shot once it's out.
The new interview (posted on the Shack as well) can be found here: http://www.ggmania.com/full.php3?show=5792
The new shots are as follows:

Also, if anyone has any questions about ArmA or the next-generation "Game2" that's in development, post them here and I'll try to include them in the interview I'm shooting for with BIS.

I just reactivated my account after almost a year of no-play.
I have a 60 priest (alliance) on Elune server and a 60 rogue (horde) on Darkspear server.
Looking to make some new friends to do stuff with on these servers, anybody on em who still plays?

They're claiming a 70 day retention for binaries which is just fucking nuts/awesome. I currently use usenetserver which has something like 30 days.
Only problem is Giganews is ten bucks more a month for the unlimited plan.
So, does it really retain all binaries for 70 fucking days? Any problems with incomplete files or files-not-on-server with the "older ones?"
If it's what they say I'm definitely going to switch today.

I want to have my officemate offed.
Capped.
At the very least worked over.
However, I'd much prefer her to end up in the foundation of some skyscraper in upstate New York.
Who can make this happen for me?
I have brownies. Lots of brownies.

So I'm taking summer courses now, which essentially involves lots of long drives to class in my parent's car. My parent's car, which has a factory cd player that does not play burnt cds unless the cd is burnt at 4x or slower. My burner only goes down to 8x in Nero.
Solutions anyone? Is there anyway to burn slower or is that some kind of hardware limitation? It's not important, but it always bugs my mom and now that I need to use the car a lot it's bothering me.

Flash seems to be broken within my browser(s...i use IE but firefox does not work either).
Flash videos like www.youtube.com or the ones posted on MSN don't work, and websites like www.gnarlsbarkley.com won't load and insist that I need to install the latest flash player. Of course I've uninstalled and reinstalled it numerous times, and no avail.
Why would Flash within the browser have died for me? Any remedies?

Ok. So over the last week or so I came to the realization that my XP Pro background is just gone.
Tonight I right click on the desktop, go to Properties -> Desktop. All the background options are grayed out, the only thing selectable are different background colours.
Any idea how I can unlock this?

No one was in the office at the Theatre Arts building at my University, but I grabbed my letter anyways. It didn't surprise me that I was rejected a second time from continuing on to the Sophomore level of the BFA Professional Actor Training Program.
What is surprising is how much it didn't phase me. Sure, I'm a little disappointed, but it was not as bad as last year when I was kicked out of the program. It took me a couple of years to fully understand that I couldn't fit in with the BFA company at all. That's not to say I don't appreciate everyone in there, but relating to them was more of a challenge than the classes themselves. I still respect them, but all the love I had for them, both faculty and company members, is out the window.
I have a group of close friends, a fantastic girlfriend, and a couple of short films coming out, along with a role in an online sitcom. Frankly, I don't need the A.R.T. Company to be happy; I already am.

For me it was the Battleship electronic game or this Tbird looking black car that you could program by lifting up the hood and giving it instructions.
... or maybe it was an early 80s sprinkler system. :(
After that, I think of Apple G somethings and rudimentary programming games on the Commodore.

My father had bypass surgery last saturday and I've spent everyday with him since, mostly by 8am all the way to 5pm at the very least. 8pm 'til 2-3am for the first few days also on top of that.
I ask him to accompany my dad for a few hours yesterday since I had been putting off a lot of shit and I needed to pick up my cousin from school, the fucker doesn't wake up. my aunt saved my day though.
Then this morning I ask him to accompany my dad again just for the morning cos I still needed to get a few things done (like my washing! i'm almost out of clothes..) and he's like "I have alot of work" + "I'm going to sleep soon" at 8am...
he hasn't visited my dad for the past 2 days either

The "New England Alliance" allows any Gold's Gym member with an EFT or 1 Year Paid in Full membership, the privilege of using the Gold's Gym locations listed below for 2 visits per 7-day period.
All I see is that EFT might mean Electronic Funds Transfer. So I just have to pay my membership fees online and then I can be a member just for the 3 months of the summer and get this benefit? Seems too easy...
