Day two impressions will be up shortly, and then we'll head back to the show to check out the games we have missed so far. Plus really, I need to have a muffin and chocolate chip cookie as my breakfast for the third straight day.

My employer has a shyte-ton of files (GIF / JPG) that need to have a certain string appended before each filename. For example, I need to rename "shack.gif" to "1337shack.gif", "scary.gif" to "1337shack.gif", etc.
Is there an easy way to accomplish this within a single directory, using Windows's cmd prompt? And if not, is there any other way to easily accomplish this feat?

so when a enemy dies he ceases to become attached to the object he's moving on and slides off independantly? yeah that's a fucking brilliant leap forward. goddamnit why would they even shoot their mouths off so much about it if this is what they were talking about.

Thinking about getting a cell-phone in the not-too-distant future, and I'm wondering if the Shack has any recommendations for specific phones or services.
Currently a Razr from Cingular is looking good as compared to same from Verizon. Cingular seems to be slightly less assinine about what they lock out of their phones and what basic stuff is included in the subscription.

I'm not sure about the guns and high-tech projectile gadgetry. I've been yearning for a Diablo 3 for a while now. I know Hellgate London isn't Diablo 3 and it's not even trying to be, but there is something extremely primal in clickinghacking a monster to death with a two-handed axe. Or shooting arrows as fast as you can click. Or making the earth rise up in a mini volcano.
Shooting a blessed rocket launcher powered by holy liquid metal just isn't the same :x Even firing ice shards from your staff as a sorceress is more magical and attractive to me than guns. Yenowadahmeen?

...On Peter Moore's Praise for the Nintendo Wii
Sony's Phil Harrison debuts the PlayStation 3 controller at E3 2006
"I think Peter Moore is exactly right. I think Nintendo will be the second system consumers purchase after PlayStation 3."
"I haven't had a chance to check out the Wii myself, but Nintendo has a great history of innovation and has always done great things for gaming and long may they do so. But as it relates to our strategy they are very much in a different market."

This seems like such an easy stupid problem but I can't figure it out. How do I remove the automatic indent of a list in firefox? i've tried margin:0px and padding: 0px with no luck.
I am using this list in some fancy form auto-complete ajax code, but the list is being rendered with the default UL-LI indent which is messing me up.

As far as I know, the main two metrics are "skill", which increases and decreases depending on how you're doing, and "challenge", which increases gently and NEVER EVER decreases. A document would have been a great thing for those of us who think that this "dynamic skill" thing isn't working optimally.
That aside, I played a bit while keeping an eye on the skill meter. I didn't see the Challenge value go down at all, except on quickloads, where it's just loading the old value from the save. And instead of quickloading instantly when my health hit 70 or 50, I went through with it and tried to scrounge up what I could, or just plain ran down to zero health (because perhaps the deaths would trigger the dynamic skill system to make things a little easier, that is, if the dynamic skill system even exists). I got up to the lumberyard, but didn't start playing it because I don't feel like being at a complete standstill in progress because I keep dying all over the place. I can't seem to get the grenades to go where I want; throwing far is good, but they bounce at odd angles off of walls, and to throw short, you have to look 60 or 80 degrees down and throw the grenade, which means you have to take your eyes off of the target and get pummeled (which happens frequently when there are 2 or 3 heavyguards firing away with their chainguns).
