Balkman looked extremely good in their first summer league game, I know everyone was talking about how stupid the knicks were for picking him, but he doesn't look bad at all. He ended up rolling his ankle in the game and leaving in the 3rd quarter, but he looked like he could easily contribute more than alot of the players taken earlier than him.

Wow, I couldn't get to the Shack from work at all today. :(

Anyway, I thought a few people might care about how Firefox 2 Beta 1 is looking, so here's the lowdown.

We took the last patches that we think we'll need for Fx2 this afternoon, and are currently rebuilding. Then the builds need to get QAd. If all goes well and they say "go", we'll need about 24 more hours to push everything out to the mirrors and be done. So the earliest we'd ship is probably Tuesday. If QA finds bad problems, we'll have to fix and respin, which means slipping by days. Hopefully we'd slip to next Friday at worst.

Some changes in Beta 1 off the top of my head:
* We're dropping the "Bon Echo" codename in Beta 1 and changing it to "Firefox 2".
* Find bar can search in textareas and other editable elements now, thanks to yours truly (hoorj).
* Find bar also is case-insensitive by default and the Match Case checkbox is gone. If you want case sensitivity, I recommend setting "accessibility.typeaheadfind.casesensitive" to -1 (instead of 0), which is "smart case sensitivity" that will be case-sensitive when you type in mixed-case cand case-insensitive otherwise. (You can also set this to 1 to force case sensitivity.) Yes, I did this feature too.
* Undo Close Tab is in. You can get to it via the tab strip context menu or the History menu (where I think there's an entry about "Recently Closed Tabs" or something).
* The new tab overflow solution is in. This is the way the browser handles things when you have too many tabs to fit in the window. In Firefox 1.x, the tabs just overflow off the screen and you can't see them. In Fx2, there are little scrolly buttons that appear on the ends of the tab strip when there are too many tabs. Also, based on usability studies we did, the minimum tab width has been bumped up to 125 px, from the previous 30 or so. So tabs will overflow after a lot fewer tabs, but they should stay wide enough to tell what they are.
* JavaScript has been updated to version 1.7. It's faster on a lot of operations than Fx 1.5's JS implementation was, too. Best case I saw was 50% faster on some division tests.
* Lots of stuff won't be in until beta 2, including a reorganized preferences panel and the visual refresh.
* Another thing that won't be in until beta 2 is a way for web pages to selectively turn spellchecking on and off for particular elements. I'm still working on that.
* There are lots of known bugs, slowdowns, etc. In some ways things may actually be worse than Alpha 3. Our focus was on getting feature-complete and fixing anything that completely prevented testing, not on fixing obvious annoyances. So this still isn't recommended for random end-users as a day-to-day browser, it's for testing purposes so you can find horrific bugs.

I'm gonna go see Pirates Of The Caribbean in a minute, but post any questions you want, and I'll try and answer them when I get back.

Another fantastic Wargames League Operation Flashpoint session tonight with Shack Tactical and the SA Goons.

This is seriously the best multiplayer gameplay I have ever experienced. WGL5 + our groups in MP = most satisfying multiplayer of all time. I can't imagine anything else ever coming close to it. What we're doing these days makes all the pre-WGL5 OFP Shackbattles look like kiddy stuff.

The amount of coordination, teamwork, and the overall intensity of the missions is second-to-none. You simply could not ever get this kind of gameplay from a random pub server.

I know I say it all the time, and everyone knows I'm a huge OFP/realism fan, but seriously. This is the game and mod to play. It's insanely good.

ShackTac for the fucking win. :D

Instant Messaging Menz

I've been using Miranda IM for a long time, mainly for AIM, but occasionally for MSN. I'm really attached to how minimalistic the interface is and the small memory footprint. It shows only what I need to, without any skins or other graphical crap. The crux of the situation is this: Miranda IM fucking sucks. The plugin support is complete garbage. Every time a new version of the client/a plugin is out I need to rebuild my entire contact list (50+ people).

I want a nice, compact client that offers a lot of customization with good AIM support. How's Trillian? It seems bloated, but it also seems to be pretty polished. Also, I don't like gaim, it just doesn't jive with me.

So, Sci-Fi Channel is doing a show right now about a bunch of different ways the world could end and started talking about the possibility of robots being the cause of it. While I don't think that is going to be the case at all, it got me to thinking about just how humans are going to have to re-define our role in the world in the coming decades as robots become more and more a part of our lives.

If the UN report on robotics from a few years ago, where they said robots (in all their various forms) will outnumber humans by 2020, is correct, it's going to force a radical shift in the way we view ourselves. If we are surrounded by machines that are seemingly infinitely more "intelligent" than we are, I think that is gonna bring about some serious changes in human life in everything from art to philosophy. What do you guys think, are robots going to change society as we know it or do you think they'll become just another "invisible" tool like so many of our technologies?

Playing through Grim Fandango as I've stated before. I miss games that have quirky humor like this. There just aren't the funny, silly games anymore. It seems to me that more games are based on serious issues than something so light hearted as this. It makes me sad :(.

I have to say though, some of the puzzles in this game are ridiculous. I had to look at a faq because I couldn't figure out what the hell to do in year two when you have to drink the gold alcohol and then walk through the metal detector. What. It also took me a while to figure out that I had to show my note from the revolution leader to the cool cats in the club so they would give me their book. I think the thing that frustrated me the most about the whole deal was that to go inbetween all the buildings took so LONG.

How many years is this game? Good times.

Help me test something and help make Internet advertising a less volatile place.

I have two ads I want you to run, both use Flash and both are the same exact ad. However, the frame rate is different between the two and I want to see how bad it is on your processors. The second link will play through a lot slower, on purpose.

No, I didn't make the ad, I am just fixing something for Steve. So if you want to help, this is what you should do:

1. Open your windows Task Manager and go look at your Processor Performance. Make sure you have that up the whole time.
2. Click the first URL, let the entire ad play through. Note how much of your processor it is using.
3. Click the second URL, let the entire ad play through. Note how much of your processor it is using.

Ad 1: http://haiku.shackspace.com/gngwc_300_250_2.html

Ad 2: http://haiku.shackspace.com/gngwc_300_250.html

The Ad loops, so when you see the giant red shit again, you know you went through once.

If you could, post your results in a format like this:

1. 45% 2. 30% | Athlon 2.2ghz

Thank you for your time/help. Your participation will help set a precedent in terms of retards not making ads that kill your processor. Also, lol what a retarded ad korea owns =^.^=

Anyone here have a Sidekick? I remember reading here where someone said they could Shack on it, but can you read comments or reply to them? I want one, if I can Shack on it.

Also, what's up with Planters' Peanuts? Last 4 bags I got from the vending machine, they were these spazzy little peanuts, with skins still on half of 'em, and I think a dirtclod or two. They used to be big, oily, tasty, and pristine. Did they get Wal-Marted?

Lastly, if you live in apartments and have sex, for gosh sakes CLOSE YOUR WINDOWS! Neighbors don't wanna hear that, and you face the risk of passing neighbors the next day and hearing them snicker and repeat stuff they overheard to each other, just loud enough for you to overhear, like "I put on my wizard robe and hat" or "Next time YOU be Harry and I'LL be Hermione."

Windows Media Player/Firefox question

If I download any porn .wmv files, and the "Downloads" popup is opened for Firefox, something weird happens if I try and Open those files. The movie plays fine the first time, but if I try to open something in the Downloads that has a similar name as a .wmv opened before (could have been months ago), the OLD video opens. Hope that makes sense to someone.

I assume this is more a WMP problem? I have cleared all the cache, cookies, downloads, etc, but it still somehow has these old movies stored. Can anyone help a brotha out here? It's really annoying. Google has failed me.

Hey guys,

Anyone know a good online guide I can check out for buying my first LCD monitor...yes I still use CRT, gots lotsa love for my KDS 19", but deskspace and mobility (I tend to move a lot...hmm) is at a premium, and I hear they are better??????

Anyway, just don't know what to look for when I'm shopping...I play games alot, and browse the web, thats what I mainly do. I have always hated LCDs because they'd get all weird looking if ya moved from a perfectly straight angle right at them, but I hear newer ones have a better viewing angle?

Really I know nothing about LCDs, or what to look for. Any help or links to guides is awesome, thanks!

hi guys

I am looking for a new monitor and I thought that it's time for a flatpanel one, now that we're in the 21st century and all that.
The thing now is, that I don't really know that much about tfts... what would be a good reaction time, contrast and luminance ratio?
It would be used mainly for gaming, so it has to be fps capable.

I currently have a 19" crt and want something comparable in size... so I need a 17" tft, right? I have about 300 - 400 Ã¢Â‚Â¬ available... any recommendations?

Just got back from Superman. Was good, but I feel sorry for anyone who went into that movie not already accepting that world or having the right suspension of disbelief. It was apparent they tried to somewhat cator to moviegoers who might need a slight background on Superman, but it still doesn't do justice.

Kevin Spacey was the best part. Very good acting. Just okay movie. Fun way to waste a night. :)
