So Iv been hearing some rumors from some unscruplous people who seems too have obtained a copy of the game allready that its only 5 hours long. That would put it at about the same lenght as hl2 ep 1. Kinda weak if you ask me. I sure hope thats not the case because I was really looking foward too 8-12 hours after seeing the demo

Normally I'm a pretty thin guy, but the past year or so, I've been gaining weight mostly due to my passion in cooking and eating good food. From 150lbs. to 170lbs. within 5 months. Now, I do some exercise, walking 30 minutes everyday, swimming laps in the pool, occasional bike rides, and I do intend to exercise more.
Here's my thing though, I like to snack a lot. Potato chips, popcorn, sandwiches, etc. I just want something quick and tasty so I can continue working, yet still enjoy what I'm eating. However this isn't helping me lose weight. What are some tasty alternatives? Don't say fruit and veggies, I know about that. For example, I discovered sesame sticks the other day, and really enjoyed them. Anything else I should check out?

My brain thinks OO, but I need to learn how to think Relational...
theamazingrand0 http://www.shacknews.com/ja.zz?id=12420528 gave a great solution to a half-baked representation of what I'm doing, but it turns out it's a little more complex as there's actually 5 levels of hierarchy (think of the data structure as a general tree). I'm afraid using the :through operation doesn't help, unless I can tie the root node into the 4th level node.
So, right now I've got "root" has_many "1st_level", "1st_level" belongs_to "root" and has_many "2nd_level", etc. Now, if I pick a root node and want to list all of the 4th level, I'd have to do some nested for-loops to get to them in a depth- or breadth-first search
So, I'm strongly considering "flattening" my 4th-level-node by putting belongs_to to every 'uplink' node... 4th belongs_to 3rd, 4th belongs to 2nd, 4th belongs to 1st, 4th belongs to root. This kinda sucks because now every node has_many 4th-level nodes.... or does it?
In theory there's nothing interesting about the 1st/2nd/3rd-level nodes because they've got the same columns, but they're different tables. So, another solution would be to have a root node, then let that root node has_many "child_nodes", where child_node was the same as the 4th level node but it contained :string columns to at least name the 1st/2nd/3rd level nodes. For example:
Now, I think this gives me the ability to create queries that do the following:
1) show me :secondlevel_node_name from every row that has :firstlevel_node_name == "my_node_name"
2) show me :name for every row where :thirdlevel_node_name is "my_other_node_name"
Does this seem legit? Any other suggestions? I'm going to bed in about 10 minutes, but I'll eagerly check for responses in the morning!

I'm trying to come up with a rating system for a website I'm making. I decided that the overall rating should be out of 5, but then this rating is calculated from 5 subcategories each a rating out of 5.
Now adding up each sub-rating and dividing by 5 produces fractions which I don't want. Would it be best to just round to the nearest whole number or is there a better way of doing this?

I guess its a sign from the gods...I tried to install and play TQ last night, and I'm one of the 'lucky' people getting the error "Cannot Initialize Graphics Engine" or something like that.
Anyone get this error? Figure out a way to get around it? This sucks.

A former guildmate of mine posted this on our forums. I figured I'd throw it up here so you guys can take a look.
Hello all, I was in your guild, and then I got deployed, now I am back and have back surgery on Monday! Been a great year.I work with Doron, a warlock who was in your guild for quite a long time as well. Anyway, Silvertiger helped a good deal on some programming on my online business, so if he is still in your guild, thanks Silver.
So, I would love to get some feedback (or sales)...all clothing items come with free gold sent to your character. Check it out please!

It takes 24 hours for a confirmation email? Are you sending the information by telegraph or Pony Express? This is the first time in recent memory where I've bought something on the net and not had a confirmation immediately.

I'm very tempted to go out and buy a DS Lite. I'll probably get New Super Mario Bros. with it, and one other game. The question is, what should that other game be? Metroid Prime Hunters? Mario Kart? Phoenix Wright: Ace Attourney? Animal Crossing? What does the ShackHype hive mind say?
