i'm trying to figure out the connection string for making an ado db connection in the current project, meaning the database i'm working in, adding code to a button click event.
all the tutorials i find online are all about connecting to a remote database from an asp or a separate access file. and i don't really know how to massage my search string since "access" comes up fucking everywhere (thx for that creative name, m$ lol$)

and this is why children, fanboys and easily pleased consumer sheep shouldn't be allowed on the internet.
sure yes we all have different opinions but i put forward to you all that even those of you who did enjoy the movie, surely few of you would actually rate it a ten right?
I'm giving up imdb as a reference for points / reviews from now on (yeah yeah noc) but seriously, it's just not worth it, there's far too many people that seem to think "hey that movie was ok,... hmm i think i'll give it a .........10!"
(I'm reffering to most imdb reviews of current movies now, not just this one)
Also while i'm taking a jab at imdb and partially this movie, how many chinese gold farmers imdb accounts do the movie houses have where they just have people clicking 10 ,10,10,10,10,10,10 ?

Otherwise, I'm rather impressed with the card so far. It's a noticeable step up from my old Audigy; stuff generally sounds better and there's a bit more oomph behind it. There's a bunch of EAX filters you can use to simulate different environments (dunno why...) and a setting to give output a more 3D feeling, but I turned it off because music just doesn't sound right with it.

One of the great mappers we (meaning, ShackTac and the Goons) have in the group, kevb0, is coordinating with Syixxs and myself to make a real-world-inspired training mission. It's based on a user-made island that was tailored for such things (it looks much like you'd expect a real-world military training facility to look like insofar as terrain and general layout is concerned), and from the testing we've been doing on it (limited to just myself, Syixxs, and kevb0), it's going to be incredibly cool. I get flashbacks to MCT, the rifle range, and bootcamp just running around in it.
The idea is that we'll have a small cadre of instructors (myself and Syixxs being the first ones) that will lead groups of players through various training evolutions. It's all live-fire training against pop-up/pop-down silhouette targets, or dummy tanks/fighting positions/etc. We can also do force-on-force training in it as well.
The assault courses and unknown distance ranges are my favorites so far, and the sniper unknown-distance range in particular is so far beyond awesome that it isn't even funny. It's the only sniper range I've ever seen in a game where a sniper/spotter team would need to effectively work together to accomplish things. The instructor at the sniper range controls a number of targets carefully placed throughout the area, at various distances, and pops them up individually - the sniper/spotter team scans the area, locates the target, and engages it with as few rounds as necessary to get it to drop.
Here are some shots from it earlier when we were testing it:
Pistol range - http://dslyecxi.com/screens/Operation_Flashpoint/0607/Training/pistol_range.jpg
Sniper tower - http://dslyecxi.com/screens/Operation_Flashpoint/0607/Training/sniper_tower.jpg
Early revision of the Desert MOUT course - http://dslyecxi.com/screens/Operation_Flashpoint/0607/Training/early_mout_town.jpg
Anyhow, it's cool. It's frickin' cool. Would anyone be interested in a writeup of a coordinated training session on it once we've done one?
Check reply for some more of the training we'll be able to do in it.

“Losties†want any and all scoop about their favorite show, and are always conscious of the show’s flow being interrupted by reruns and other breaks. “Lost†is going to run this year in two uninterrupted blocks — six weeks in October, then a 13 week break, then “Lost†will return in the spring of 2007 to finish out the season uninterrupted. (New Taye Diggs’ show “Day Break†will fill in the gaps.)
That sounded weird to a lot of folks, but McPherson later defended it, saying his other choice was to run the entire season of “Lost†in one giant 22-week block, with new shows every week. That may sound great, but it would mean that the show wouldn’t start airing until March — so there’d have been no new “Lost†episodes from the finale last May until January 2007. ABC wasn’t willing to let their billion-dollar baby sit on the shelf that long.
And because the show takes so long to shoot, McPherson said he couldn’t run all the episodes starting in fall and ending earlier (as if they’d miss May sweeps, anyway).

I'm excited about the direction the show has taken, and I'm looking forward to seeing how the characters make it out of this, as it really seems to be crunch time.
I love the idea of tigh going all rebel leader, as he's great in combat but shitty with politics. It'll be fun to see how starbuck deals with her trauma, and if the kid is another cylon hybrid or possible a clone. I vote clone, which is fucked up. I'm looking forward to the adama's getting serious. I'm not sure if apollo has what it takes, I think we'll see him be sorely tested to get his shit together - maybe even leave Dee to go back to being hardcore. And gaius is fucked, his fate has been sealed for a while. Him joining cylons will get zarek a chance to get back in the game.
So excited.

The take on that one was "LOL PHOTOSHOP'ED" here on the shack and on the rest of the internet. (lead by Toraz :) )
Well, TheINQ have commented on that and say that it might look like a photoshop filter but it is not and they are working hard with the devs (Rydermark) to prove it.
http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=33131
What looks like a bad photoshop job is just a badly fitted shader that dont render correctly on some Nvidia cards. TheINQ and Rydermark are saying Nvidia is engaged in some fiddelyfux (reverting shaders to 16 bit color etc) to improve performance at the cost of quality.
Will be fun to see this the next week.
*grab popcorns*
And no, I am not a rabid ATI fanboy! I have used many Nvidia cards and my current is a Nvidia.
