Well my 360 just died. I have no idea wtf happend or what would cause it. Actually, it's been dead since about noon today (EST). I hit the power, the fans start turning, then all that happens is it blinks red and no picture pops up.
I've tried swapping out multiple game CDs, and have tried unplugging and reattaching all cables. Never had this happen before, never had a problem.
Any help out there?

So I really don't understand all this drug shit going on in the world, and I need a bit of help. Friends little sister is caught up in this ring of teens using... Addoral? Addiroll.. I have no idea what it is. Perscription pills, this much I know. Apparently someones father is a psychiatrist or something and someone has been stealing "samples."
Now I'm going to do something about this, but before I do I want to know how dangerous is this shit? What exactly will it do? etc.. etc.. I'll post again tomorrow morning. I basically want to know exactly what I'm dealing with so I can figure out whether I'm calling the cops, or just handling it on my own. Either way my friend wants my help.

Missing your MST3K fix? Mike Nelson, former head writer and host of MST3K has launched a new site:
http://www.rifftrax.com
He (and possibly other cast members later on) records running commentary and sells it for $2 per download. You then synch it up with the movie in question and voila! Right now the only film commentary available is Roadhouse, and he's going solo. You can check out a Roadhouse (ugh) clip on the site too. Guess I'll be going to Walmart after work to buy Roadhouse.

Curse these drunken urges to fix broken computers. They'll be he death of me. Well, technically this was the first such one, but I forsee it happening again.
And fuck you, big centipede looking thing over in the corner staring at me with your little feelers waving around looking for bats. There aren't any fucking bats in this house. Ha!

Hi all, I know I've come to you for help before regarding laptops, but what's the best video card for laptops nowadays? Well, mid-range to high-end? BF2 will probably be the main game played on it.
Also, if you had a choice, would you go with the Intel Core Duo setup or the AMD Turion 64? How are the AMD mobile X2 processors? Any good?
Lastly, are there any brands that I should definitely stay away from? Or are they pretty much all the same?
TIA!

My dog has been itching and scratching like mad for what seems like a week now. It's not fleas because we had a groomer check her out less than a month ago and we have that stuff that goes on her neck.
So I'm thinking its dry skin. Is there a special dog shampoo I can get that will help her out a bit? Any particular brand?

1.) Download firefox
2) In the upper-right hand corner in firefox, click the G button in the search bar and it will drop down a menu. Click "add engines"
3) In the search bar under where it says "mozilla" on the webpage, type youtube
4) Scroll down and click "VideoDownloader"
5) Click "Install Now"
6) Restart Firefox
7) Go here: http://www.simtel.net/product.download.mirrors.php?id=95201 and download and install FLV player
TO USE:
1) Go to a popular videosite with flash videos on it (like youtube or google video) in FIREFOX
2) in the very right hand corner in firefox, you should see a little icon with a small R on it. Click it while in the page of the video you want to download
3) A window will pop-up. In it you will see a download link that looks like this: >> Download Link <<. This is your video. Right-click it and do a "save link as".
4) when it asks you what you want to name it, call it filename.FLV (I think by default it is set to a .HTML extension, change it to .FLV). The FLV extension is the important part and tells the computer it is a flash video file.
5) Click save and let it download.
6) Go to the folder where you saved the flash video to and double-click it.
WALLAH! You can now save play flash videos from your Hard Drive!
