The Company of Heroes singleplayer kicks my ass.

Just got to the Carentan mission, dealing with fucking armor. The Krauts are constantly raiding me with Panzers and engineers and infantry and AT guns and... jesus!!! I can't even build up any forces, and any points I take they harass me with multiple engineers all over the map... I can't defend that shit.

The other missions were pretty easy, but this one is suddenly hard. I need some tactics. Read this: http://www.rtsgamejunkie.com/?p=230 but it doesn't seem to help me.

I don't get something! When you see the combination "SCHOOL, SPEED LIMIT 25, when children are present" sign, are you just supposed to slow down to 25 or do you have to check for children and slow down if you see any? I drive through two of those zones on my way to class every day, and I can't fucking figure it out. I saw someone pulled over in one of the zones today though.

VBA coding menz
Ive got this:
```
Sub PartiallySubmerged()

    Dim r As Double

    Dim h As Double

    Dim theta As Double

    Dim i As Integer

    

    i = 0



    Do While i < 12

        r = Cells(5 + i, 4).Value

        h = Cells(14 + i, 8).Value

        theta = Cells(14 + i, 6).Value

        If h < r * Cos(theta) Then

            Cells(14 + i, 4) = "Yes"

        Else

        Cells(14 + i, 4) = "No"

        i = i + 1

        

    Loop

        

        



End Sub



However, this doesnt compile.  It says that I have a Loop without a Do.  Ive yet to use the If function in VBA so I could be screwing that up somehow, but I dunno.  HALP PLEASE

Web Hosting Menz

Need referrals to a good webhosting service. I switched to Dreamhosting awhile back and while it's a good value, you get what you pay for and it's a bit too slow for my needs.

Basically I need the following:

* PHP Access
* Multiple FTP Accounts linked to sub-directories
* Ability to host multiple domains on one account
* IMAP Mail capability
* VPN a huge plus, but not necessary
* Good bandwidth allowance
* Mostly, need it to be moderately fast!

Any suggestions?

2nd Annual NYC Shackmeet

http://www.shacknews.com/shackmeet/events.x?id=3483

Repost for the absent nyranger66

Seriously, the NYC-area Shackers have taken the term "Shackmeet" and redefined it (or "taken shackmeet to the extreme" as dahanese would say). I mean, we pretty much have a Shackmeet at least once a month since that fateful October day. We need another term that describes large Shackmeets, like this one, which I hope it to be (we had like 20-something last year). Maybe Uber-Shackmeet? But I digress.

Here's some writeups and pics of last years NYC Uber-Shackmeet, just to show how successful it was:
http://www.shacknews.com/ja.zz?id=10998829

http://nyranger66.shackspace.com/dahaneses%20nyc%20shackmeet%20photos
http://nyranger66.shackspace.com/NYC_shackmeet

Here's the current Gameplan:

When: 5PM Saturday, November 4th.
Where: An Afternoon activity (since the LaserTag place shutdown) from there we'll have dinner at 8pm here: http://www.kumgangsan.net/index.html http://newyork.citysearch.com/profile/7079497/new_york_ny/kum_gang_san.html where you can grill your own food! From there, drunken karaoke here: http://newyork.citysearch.com/profile/40125732/new_york_ny/ibop_karaoke.html?specialty_id=95
Why: Because you all love the cock you homos

***We'll need final numbers in a couple weeks because we have to make reservations at all those places, so please update your status on the shackmeet page. ***

Also, join our GoogleGroup if you haven't already: http://groups.google.com/group/NYCShackers?lnk=li . It's easier to discuss plans there.

Stupid XP question:

Having moved about 4 times since XP came out, I've since lost my Win98 cd. This sounds cheesy, but does MS still make you find that CD? Or is there some(legal) way they let install the upgrade since your comp has been registered? I only ask b/c I don't wanna fork out money for something I already purchased and have no real use for and scheming ppl could just borrow the CD from a friend so it doesn't really seem to provide them much protection. I really need a format here.....

Can I ask a question about how the Shack comments board works?

If I see a thread that has the line "thread capped. click here to read all X replies" and I do that I can't then use the Z and A keys in that thread. I have to use the "up" and "down" buttons. Is that supposed to be how it works?

Second, whether in that kind of thread or any other, once you start reading through the comments and want to go back to the main thread page (before you clicked to start reading a specific thread) it seems there's no way to do that. I click "back to overview" and it takes me to page 1 of the entire comments. Ugh. But I'm on page four, middle of the page and want to go there--not start at the beginning. The other option is to click up for each post in the thread but that's ridiculously time consuming in long threads.

Am I doing something wrong here or is this the way it's all supposed to work?

The HD Tivo Series 3 is a thing of beauty so far, have had it for 3 days and so far I can recommend it.

However, do not under any circumstances order it from tivo.com, they have the worst customer service I have ever experienced. Worse than comcast. It is so bad that I will never, ever, ever, order anything directly from tivo again.

Anyone here know how to iron a shirt on a benchtop (no ironing board :( )

It takes me hours, I just watched 3 episodes of BSG and only did 6 shirts - and even then they aren't that good :(

I'm using a towel on top of the benchtop and then a sheet on top of that.

Yeah I know I should use an ironing board but my apt is too small (no, I'm not joking, I don't know where I'd put an ironing board) this benchtop is hard and flat.

(sorry cords, I totally can't fit a dryer in here and they cost a tonne to run)
and yeah I guess I could get a table top ironing board, but beleive it or not - it would be a squeeze to find a spot for it, seriously.

I was really hoping some master bachelor would be like "that shit is easy, yo" and tell me some magic trick to make it not take HOURS.

Help me with my homework!

I'm really doing crappy this semester because 18 credits seems to be too much. Anyway, in this study, what would be the dependent variable, the participants or their test scores? I really should know this, it's like... high school stuff.

"... we aimed to increase or decrease performance on a general knowledge test by priming participants with the stereotype of either professors or soccer hooligans."

I assume the independent variables here are the professors and the soccer hooligans. Controls would be the no-prime participants and the participants primed with the stereotype of a secretary.

Hey guys! Funny story...

Once upon a time I wrote an article that made the rounds with developers, mod teams, etc and was generally highly praised. This much everyone knows. What people don't know is that I was contacted by a big-name developer and asked if I'd be interested in potentially working on a "next-gen, big-budget military-themed" game thanks mostly to said article. It's a big dev, you all know them. The only catch was it would require overseas relocation. I said sure, I'd be interested, and then pretty much right after I said that the situations that would have allowed me to relocate changed dramatically, cutting off that possibility. So, little ol' me was inspired by the thought of working in the industry, shortly before having that possibility cut off for at least the forseeable future. Nothing was ever finalized, but there was a good likelyhood it was going to happen, and now... well, not so much, or at least not anytime soon.

Fuck yeah, go life!}b]*

So, who's drinking with me tonight? :'(

On the inspirational side of things, if you really do care about something, and it shows, and you do quality work... it pays off. It really does. Pour your heart and energy into something that you love and it'll pay off for you in the long run, and you'll have a blast doing it at the same time. That's my story/thought for today.

Why do all FPSes have to be totally linear?
I loathe linearity. I don't play solo FPSes much. I get bored too fast. I really have to force myself to go forward unless the game is really engrossing on all levels.
I loved Metroid Prime for that. From the top of my head that's the only FPS I can name that actually went out of the traditionnal model.. (except for MP2 of course).
I love exploring and walking around, and being forced to go forward all the time is just totally boring to me. Even if you sometimes have to backtrack a bit inside a level because you got a key, or some other random excuse, it doesn't really take you far.
Someone just posted a nice shackreview of Tron 2.0, and I remember how I was disapointed by that game because of its linearity. Which was not really out of the ordinary, but I don't know why I expected something else (silly me).
I guess it's also has to do with technical issues (loading namely) but no one is even trying. I'd love to see a Metroid Prime style game on a PC; surely it can be done..

Ok I think I have made a choice.

I was gonna get a Zen of iPod Video. Since I really want an mp3 player. So for the price of one of those puppies I have decided to get a lower capacity mp3 player, nintendo DS and possibly a hard drive for the PC, all for the price of one of those Zen/iVid.

150 for the DS (on average here)
150 ~ for mp3 player.
100 for HD.

Zen = 350 before taxes.

So I know you will vote for me getting the DS... amirite?

Alright:
My computer has been "flakey" during shutdown & restart sequences - like when signalled to shutdown it will constantly restart.

Finally looks like it gave up the ghost today, and I think its one of two things: the motherboard or the power supply.

Symptoms:
If I press the power button it'll "power up" the fans and turn on lights on the cd rom drives, etc, as normal, but no bios beep and no output to the video card.

Which do you think: Mobo or PS?

Finally got my hands on the new Casino Royale theme song sung by Chris Cornell. Anybody else heard this? It's playing at some radio stations - they all just got the promo CD today.

Anyway, it's different. Not great like Live and Let Die, but it's not bad. It doesn't jump off the page as "Bond" either, but I would have said the same about LALD in 1973. Still, not my favorite Cornell song (<3 Black Hole Sun). Anyway, it's better than Madonna's shit-tastic Die Another Day.

Hopefully Radiohead does Bond 22. I love their cover Nobody Does It Better.
