A bunch of us are going to do another coordinated attack at 8 PM EST/5 PM PST tomorrow, so if you'd like to join, head to the Darnell building or any of the squares northwest (I'm up at the Rolle Library in Kempsterbank, which is about as for north or west as you should go), and save your AP until then.

Download (buy) "Possum's Last Dance" and "Possum Goes To Prague" by Blackmore's Night. Richie Blackmoor was in the band Deep Purple long ago.
These instrumental peices are short, but very good.
Come on, it only costs 99 cents apiece.
If you like guitar, you will like these.

let's say that i provide an API, and part of this API is an abstract class Foo. my API knows all about Foo, but Foo is at least partially pure virtual. it is up to the programmer using the API to subclass Foo and provide an implementation.
the trick is that i want the API to know only the name of the programmer's implementation class (and that it inherits from Foo), and i want the API, only knowing the name of the class at run-time, to construct this class. that is, i don't want to require the programmer to provide a factory, i'd rather the API somehow construct the implementation class.
this is kind of like Java's Class.forName(...).newInstance()
how can this be accomplished?

Not my screenshots but it looks like Introversion seeded torrent sites with a version of the game that only allows you to play singleplayer. They scare people with that when they try to play online.

Me and the wife have watched a lot of Def Comedy Jam and enjoyed shows by Bill Bailey, Chris Rock and Eddie Izzard.
We're not fond of Billy Connelly, Jack Dee, Harry Hill, Lee Evans or Graham Norton - so don't suggest those.

Am I wrong but after watching this basejumping compilation (which makes my bloody palms sweaty just looking at half of it), it looks like it is INSANELY fucking dangerous... like, you could very very easily just go right into the cliff face and instant death?
Yeah, a lot of us have seen the "base jump gone wrong" vid so we know what that's like but he survived, which I must admit I was surprised by.

I was playing WoW last night and my internet connection went out last night at 9:30 right in the middle of Molten Core. This is the 3rd night in a row it went out at 9:30 so I called and I was pissed off. The dude sounds like he's from El Salvador and tells me that "Microsof ees having a problem with the internets and that's ees why joo can't get on mang." So I go "WHAT?" And he repeats it. And I've done this drill enough to know that when you get a fucktard on the other line, if you want to save time, just agree and get the fuck off the phone and call right back and get someone else quick. Dont ask for supervisors, just OK THX CYA and call back. So I'm like OK, thanks man, I'll let ya go. And he's like "Umm, but we not feenish here". And I get even more pissed and go "Yeah, we're done." and he says "Joo dont tink ees Microsof?" And I go "No, I'm chure ees not Microsof!" "Joo don't beelee dee tech at Cox Cable? What do joo tink eet ees?" And I go "Dude I'm a Chief Technology Officer at a bank so I know exactly what I'm talking about and it damn sure isn't a Microsoft issue. The shits been going on 3 nights in a row at 9:30 every night and the entire neighborhood has been out the last 2 nights and..." and he goes "wait a meenite sir, I'm seeing an outage in your area". Well no chit Paco.

TOOL was the subject of a recent ABC News report dubbed "Why the Band Tool is Cool". The two-minute segment attempts to explains how TOOL has "found success within a genre eclipsed by pop music."
Watch it at this location: http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=2469563
TOOL's fourth studio album, "10,000 Days", has sold 1.22 million copies in the United States since its release in early May.

Heee, after fixing the trees in the first villiage: Ammy, you got SERVED by Mr. Orange!
Seriously, people - if you have a PS2, you need to own this game. This is the type of console game we want to reward for trying to break the mold from FPS, racing, sports, and GTA like games. I am more and more impressed with the game the further I keep playing it. Even without voice work, they've got great characterization down by character movements and poses.
So tonight I decide to reinstall it. Only I open the "Book of Sid" packaging and... the install disc (one of two) is missing. Fudge.
So I look all over for it and I can't find it anywhere. I'm starting to freak out.
An hour later I found it... in the DVD burner drive I replaced a month ago (the DVD reading capabilities of it died). I don't know what made me think to jimmy it open with a paperclip but damn - I can't believe I replaced it and never opened it to check if a disc was still in there.
Anyone else done something this dumb?
