8My first PC had a 40mb harddrive. Now we're downloading 2.5gb game files from the internet. Quite the change in 14 years. Also on FileShack
so i went to my local jiffy lube (college town) with vers_2d in his car. we both needed to run some errands and one was he needed an oil change. we pull into the garage and the manager walks up and asks what he can do, with what looks like phonebook in his hand. vers_2d says, "i just need my oil changed. i ne--" the guy cuts him off, staring quizically at the car and says: "what kind of car is it?" (i am thinking what?! you work on cars all day!) vers_2d responds and 2001 audi a4. Then the phonebook comes out. flipping to the front. after a few minutes of study, he informs us they do not carry the oil necessary for the change. WHAT?!

So seconds after I find the shack is down, I realizes that she is putting the litter from her constant stream of snacking into my trashcan, instead of the trashcan in her cubicle. This makes no sense to me, and begins to really irritate me for some reason. She then begins to repeatedly burp out loud. Not just one of those sustained burps that any civilized person would release in an office environment, no. Repeated, loud, belches.
I've been sitting here repulsed for the past three hours and now that the woman is gone and the shack is back up, I still don't know what I could've said to her that wouldn't have come off as a complete asshole.
God damn it I hate the public sometimes.

XB Stream allows you to view xml based content feeds (xml, rss, rdf) on your Xbox 360 video game console; you can also listen to podcasts and blogcasts as well. XB Stream automatically downloads and converts text based content feeds into images that can be viewed from the media>pictures>computer blade and hear audio podcasts/blogcasts from the media>music>computer blade. Content feeds are automatically managed by the software so you are always given fresh feeds, and older feeds are automatically deleted. Audio feeds show up as playlists and can be listened to while playing your favorite games!

So today, I show up at a client's office. He's complaining that his laptop is constantly crashing. Sure enough, it IS! This is probably because we had to spend about 3 hours taking a nasty virus off it less than two weeks ago. We think the HDD is failing. So does the manufacturer. Still, he doesn't want to replace the laptop and instead just RMA's a replacement HDD. In the meantime he asks "can you just reimage me from the restore discs."
Right. It's an ACER, with XP Pro running Fat 32.
So I copy his 1.87GB .PST file to a network drive (they're too cheap to go with Exchange so everyone's on POP hosted through 1and1). The laptop crashes THREE fucking times while attempting to copy his .pst to a network drive (in SAFE mode). Through divine intervention alone, the file finally copies successfully without crashing. Still, it's a good chance the .PST was corrupt to begin with. I explain to him as much.
Of course, after everything is restored and back up he's missing some email.
Yet, he thinks for some reason that WE are to blame.
Any ideas?

So it's my first few days in the city... definitely have to get used to it. Big difference from North Carolina ;-) I found this web2zone cafe where I'm at right now. This was the only cyber game cafe I could find, but I wanted to ask if there is any other gaming centers around here. Also, I've never met a shacker in RL before so it would be awesome to finally meet one. If anyone wants to meet up send a message!

My xbox360 broke a few months ago and I sent it in to get repaired. 6 weeks later, they sent it back in working order, and it's been fine since.
Today I recieve a familiar-looking package addressed directly to me from a "Repair Center". I open it up and.....it's a fucking 360!!!! No hard drive, but the thing works like a champ. Fuck yes!
It's free xbox360 day! Normally I'd be the type to send it back/be "the honest guy" but fuck that noise since I had to go through a massive amount of crap to get my 30-day old 360 repaired.

Well, a few weeks back the remo had a big post about some nostaligic games. I read the list and realized that I had never had the pleasure of full throttle. Being the interprising lad that i am, i immediately went on a search but turned up nothing until i checked out ebay.
Much to my surprise i found a copy up for bid and the entry was ending in 15 minutes. I bid my .99 cents and now here it is! Its time to download scumm and let the party begin!

Universities have some fucked up rules sometimes, I just checked my university's bookstore return info, you have 2 days from the date of purchase to return books. 2 DAYS!!! So, if a teacher changes their mind or a book is said to be mandatory and could be optional you only have 2 days to return it, fine, that should be long enough to find out, but if I have a class on Monday and a class on Friday that means I have to visit the bookstore twice, if I'm unfortunate enough to have a class on Monday, Thursday and Sunday then I'd have to make 3 trips, this doesn't make any sense. It also pretty much eliminates ordering the books online(an option they offer), because they stop offering online orders a week before the semester starts so you could be stuck with 100's of dollars worth of books you may not need.

Just got back from my first time ever at a target range. Had loads of fun, and realized that I'm pretty good at shooting pistols at paper targets. One of my friends has a Glock in 9mm, and he's been having some difficulty with its sights; his spread is all over the place. I loaded the clip into the USP, aimed, fired the first shot, it hits the 10 ring from about 25 feet. I kept going, pretty much tearing a hole out where the bullseye was. He basically said "holy crap, you're a good first time shooter," and let me shoot a clip from the Glock. I fired a nice tight spread from that one; the sight was quite a bit different from the USP; there was a gap between the "shoulders" and the center dot, which allows for a bit of inaccuracy.
Pistols used:
HK USP .45 .ACP, 100 rounds (LOL COUNTERSTRIEK!)
Colt Anaconda .44 Magnum, 50 rounds (LOL HALF-LIEF!)
Walther P99 9mm, 50 rounds (LOL JAEMS BOND!)
Others: Glock 9mm, Ruger .22
That Anaconda was AWESOME. Everybody in our group stopped to watch as I burned through the 50 rounds of .44, robotically firing and reloading. Very loud report, and it belches out a long tongue of fire with each shot. Not to mention the backblast and recoil. My shots were veering left because my left hand was gripping wrong, but they corrected it, and I managed to land a few near-bullseyes at 50 feet. Even when the shots were veering left, they were grouped very close together.
My favorite from the group was the USP; the feel in the hand was right, and I could consistently land shots where I wanted them. Plus it was a lot lighter than the Anaconda in mass and recoil, so I didn't feel like I was holding out a ten-foot-long I-beam for an entire minute.

It's a Brazilian league game. A ball boy sneaks a ball the into net after a play (sneak isn't even the right word--he lazily dribbles it in). The ref doesn't see that, but sees the ball in the net and calls it a goal. As a result, the local team ties up the game with 3 minutes left.

i could use a little help troubleshooting.
i have the mx records for the domains pointing at my static ip and i have the smtp port (25) forwarded to the server through the router; verified by the fact that i'm able to telnet into smtp from outside the network.
while telnetted to smtp, i can issue smtp commands manually to get an e-mail to go to my inbox, but if i send an email from say my gmail, it doesn't get through. no undeliverable message, nothing in the server's event viewer.
when i broke it, i was messing with the relay settings in the smtp virtual server.
any advice?
