BOISE, Idaho -- The severed head of a man's wife flew from his pickup truck Thursday when he crashed into an oncoming car, killing the driver and her child, police said.
The investigation of the deadly wreck and the head, which was tossed onto the roadway by the impact, led police to the decapitated body of 47-year-old Theresa N. Time in the garage of the home she shared with her husband, Alofa Time, said Nampa police Lt. LeRoy Forsman.

You bitches need the man the FUCK UP and start planning some shackbattles on XBOX LIVE, like YESTERDAY. We've 150 differnt power tools for messaging each other, adding friends, and hosting shackbattles and the majority of you are all OMFG I'D RATHER WATCH PORN'D.
Seriously WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE. Start accepting fucking game invites. NO, FUCK THAT, start SENDING game invites. I can count on 1 hand the number of invites i've recieved since i've got this damn 360, and you know what it's from the same fucking people every time (no offense). I've got 100 shackers on my list and even when 1/3rd of them are online , most of you bitches are too busy playing fucking UNO or iwndows media center to play 1 damn game with a BUNCH of shackers.
Here we are a large ARMY of gamers and we can't even host an 8 man table tennis game! 8 PEOPLE! What pisses me off is their is much better attendance for Counter Strike on the pc.
What the fuck are you paying 50 bucks a year for? To play with your little brother? FUCK HIM, play with us.

Video Games are Dead: A Chat with Storytronics Guru Chris Crawford
GS: When you say new ideas don't go anywhere, what kind of new ideas do you mean? Have you seen any that maybe popped up and fell flat?
CC: I haven't even seen any new ideas pop up. The industry is so completely inbred that the people working in it aren’t even capable of coming up with new ideas anymore. I was appalled, for example, at the recent GDC. I looked over the games at the Independent Games Festival and they all looked completely derivative to me.
CC: My advice to the gaming industry would be to sincerely copy Hollywood more closely. The gaming industry really does operate on a model very similar to Hollywood with one huge exception, and that is that they have no system for harvesting new concepts. Hollywood knows that it needs new ideas. The games industry doesn't know. Hollywood goes out of its way to provide itself with a seed stock of new talent and ideas, the games industry doesn't.

http://bread.allrecipes.com/az/RussianBlackBread.asp
if you're making it by hand, you want to just mix the water and yeast for a couple of minutes to let it activate, add the oil and corn syrup (I substituted molasses), and then mix all the dry stuff together with the rye flour and maybe a cup of bread flour, and add the wet stuff to it. mix it up and keep adding flour till its a really wet dough and then turn it out onto a counter and keep kneading flour in until it's a nice texture, then knead until the dough is nice and elastic so if you poke it the bread comes back.. then turn it in an oiled bowl and cover it and wait for it to double in size and then punch it down and shape it into a ball and brush an egg white+water mixture on the top and score the bread with a knife and cook it at 350F for maybe a half hour or so and it is SO AWESOME !!!!!!! ya

My computer keeps turning itself off, not rebooting, but actually turning itself completely off.
It's been doing this mainly in Half-Life 2, seemingly randomly. I've been trying to format my computer and install a fresh copy of XP by booting from disc and everytime the computer shuts down when I press enter to install on an available partition. It's never done this before. Any ideas?

Okay...really obscure question time.
I'm trying to manage scene size by removing copied geometry and replacing it with instanced geometry, where applicable. A good number of these pieces in the scene are identical, but mirrored. So, does the Symmetry modifier instance the geometry it's mirroring?

I have some old libraries our company wrote in vbscript to connect to a database that we have used for 5+ years now.
I need to use them for a really quick project (1 week), and I'm debating on re-writing it .Net. But since I don't have a lot of time, I'm wondering how hard is the coding part of connecting to a database these days?
