I thought the demo was decent but it hadn't exactly convinced me to buy it, but the reviews have been pretty positive. Plus it should be fun to go online with a game like this.

Both look spectacular. I like the new handling of EA's version but 2K7 has always been the better hockey sim and the graphics for face mapping finally got a facelift. Rod Brind'Amour doesn't look like an eskimo now.

No not you guys, but the housing office at my university. They told me last Spring that I will be assigned a single room in an apartment on campus and so forth.
Now I get an email saying there's no more space and I have to move to the UC Inn which is way the fuck off campus and way fucking small. The place is a contracted out hotel which they use to place people for short term while they look for off campus housing, and for good reason, and they say it's downtown but it's on another side of a river and the bridge to get across is like 5 block down and then you have to go three blocks up to get to the Bus Station.
I love living off campus but my aggressive academic plans of taking 4 classes every quarter until I graduate makes it more worthwhile to live on campus to avoid the commute and I end up staying on campus most of the time anyways.

i have two long polynomials and needs to find the zeros of the product of the two polynomials.
so i have f(x) = x^2+x+.... and then g(x) = x^3+x^2+....
and i need to find the solutions of f(x)g(x)=0
how do i declare the x variable in matlab? sym doesn't work because i have to use the conv and root functions and they don't like syms.

Gone are the realistic stats produced by all teams in Franchise mode. I hated 2K5 because of this very issue.
The broken fatigue issue really hoses realism, and what makes it worse is EA knew of this issue before the game was available. They've promised to patch it, but I wont hold my breath over EA supporting a released game.
Im also tired of having to tweak sliders just to get a decent game. And no online leagues/franchises? WTF?
So Im done with Madden, and if EA doesnt patch the fatigue issue, Im done with EA for good. And this will mean swearing off Warhammer Online next year, which I've been waiting for. But I've had too mch of their crap. This vow I'll keep.

A bit late, yes, but I always am with music. I think I get the hate, despite personally loving the album.
The album itself is soulless, it has no identity, it's a collection of typical Muse songs without any raison d'être. You listen and think: ah, there's the quiet Muse song with the soft vocals which later suddenly explodes in a crescendo of guitars, and then later you think: ah, there's the Muse track with loads of guitars and crazy electronics riding over the top of it. It's almost like a greatest hits but with new songs.
That said, the songs are fantastic. The first is their obligatory anti-war/anti-bush screed, followed by the awesome title track, but you've got to love the perfect build of Map Of The Problematique (although I can't help but think about that fucking YTMND they made using the music!!). I need more listens before the latter tracks cement themselves into my memory, but at the moment the first four or five are in there and rattling around my head. I like it, B+.

I wanna go see a movie tonigt, so I text digitalburro: "Hey dude, Miami Vice @ 9:25?"
Then he's all "No Colin Ferral [sic] sucks. Let's see Talladega Nights!'
So, Miami Vice or Talladega Nights?
Miami Vice Pros:
- Michael Mann
- Should be good on the big screen
Miami Vice Cons:
- Colin Farrell =(
Talladega Pros:
- Should be funny
- Burro has man-wood for Will Farrell so I can probably talk him into paying
Talladega Cons:
- Comedies always disappoint me these days
- Not really a big screen movie for me - I'd rather rent it

any of you use sqlite 3 with php5? I can't for the life of me figure it out and there's just not very good documentation at all.
I created a database, put some data in it, and when I try to connect to it and execute a query I get:
"PHP Warning: sqlite_open() [function.sqlite-open]: file is encrypted or is not a database"
I am on windows, but it shouldn't matter.

I don't know if dhtml is "cool" or not, I was just experimenting and learning...but I want to know why it doesn't work in IE...
I heard the standard "IE sucks", etc...but it seems to me that a simple piece of code to make a linkbar should work in it, at least...
Any clues or assistance appreciated...and remember, I'm just learning so please don't get over-technical on me :)

I have an error downloading files and images so I decided to uninstall and reinstall/ I tried deleting the root folder after uninstall but it says it is being used by something.
I have a problem downloading files because when I download something it doesn't appear in the d/l manager but it is downloading anyways. And I can't save images because it doesn't let me choose which format to save it in.
When I reinstalled firefox looks exactly the same with the same homepage, windowsize, and errors.

Now I have another year to go. So, in a year, if I'm still at my new job I'll buy a new car. A 2 seater hopefully. But with at least 200hp. FWD is not out of the question because I am a fan of the hatchback, but RWD will be preferrable. AWD will be out of the question because of my price point - ~$20,000 give or take.
I can't wait.
