The two computers I have it on, it's installed on D: and it creates a Documents and Settings folder on that drive as though it were the C: drive. Within Google's respective folder in this newly created folder, there are never any files. I can delete D:\Documents and Settings, but Google Earth just recreates them every time I launch the app. WTF/

Basically the league is rebooted and the big three (S, B, WW) get to vote on who will make up the new team. Yup, it reads as convoluted and nonsensical as it sounds.
This sort of meta-writing in comics irks me. Like creating a super-entity to deal with the crossing over of the DC and Marvel universes. It's cheesy and makes characters do more than they really would which in turn makes a mockery of themselves. Does that make any sense?
For example. Can you imagine Batman sitting around a table and voting? "I want Captain Marvel." "Oh, is that why you didn't want Captain Atom?" "She is too hot headed." "We need a long range supershot person something or other."

I've been thinking about Richard Pryor a lot lately, and have been really really bummed about his passing. So I wanna share with you guys something he wrote as an intro to a book on comedy and comedians that I bought
http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?z=y&EAN=9780740746956&itm=5
It lists as $27 online but I got it for $7.98 at a Border's store and it included a 3 hour DVD. I suggest anyone interested in comedy and comedians pick this up. It is not the most in-depth book ever written, but covers the basics quite well and with an obvious appreciation for the craft and its crafters.
If you appreciate Richard Pryor as I do, read the reply for excerpts of a lengthy and well-written forward to this book.

1) Anonymity: it's one thing to get into a heated arguement with someone you know personally and respect, someone you have to see on a day to day basis. It's another to call out some random dude on the internet, who is really just a disembodied opinion most of the time.
2) When you're a forum, you're usually doing one of two things: Looking for information or killing time. Since you're killing time, you're likely to start and arguement just for the hell of it, even if it's not something you really feel strongly about at all. From there things just get out of hand.
Okay, 2 factors, I think I ended up merged two of them into my first point.

I don't see anything about CD keys on that page, though, so this might just be for those who tested Beta 2. If someone wants to give this a shot, feel free.

When are we going to see pay tv over the net? so instead of me buying some STUPID 60$ per month "package" of pay TV including sport (ugh), drama (ugh) and so on - I can just pay discovery.com like 3$ per month for a full subscription?
I saw this

and this
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hsuehshan_Tunnel
and other stuff - oh man I love discovery.

Basically it's a way of versioning your database. If you've ever written a complex web app, i'm sure you know what a pain in the ass this is, and Rails solves it very elegantly.

Also, can anyone recommend a good (read:FREE) place to host files? I'm talking maybe 1 or 2 files/10-15mbs total of guitar parts for a drummer and a singer to download. Or is email still my best bet?

Well she's right you know. I recall being at Quakecon in the BYOC area and there, live and in person, mr.sleepy was having sex with a large sex toy, and I looked around at Shackers and they were staring at their displays, Shacking.
Also at QuakeCon: Fire alarms went off at like 3 am, and so of course someone logged on and posted about it. As it was happening. "Fire alarms are going off in the hallway."
Y'all are some scary ass hardcores.
