If Blu-ray uses MPEG2 encoding, isn't that like...gay or something? Wasn't everyone crapping on about how Blu-ray was better than HD-DVD? I know the disks hold more, but aren't early reviews also favoring HD-DVD? Don't shoot me, I'm just asking.

I went out and procured the Guitar Hero 2 demo on a whim.
I've seen a lot about it, but I figured I'd like to have some co-op goodness in the coming weeks before the real deal hits. It's fun so far. According to the wife easy mode has gotten harder though, heh.
YYZ is such a great song. Some parts of it sound almost like video game music, Sonic the Hedgehog or something. The Bass line sounds so cool. I was jealous since I was playing lead. =(

Adama just saw the boomer 2.0 from caprica and there's a flashback where he's standing over the body of boomer 1.0 and he asks why and breaks down.
Now on second viewing I just noticed that boomer 2.0 after being choked when he lost his shit in anger whispered in his ear "and you ask why" WTF? how can boomer 2.0 know wtf boomer 1.0's body would have heard?
Is this just a weird plot twist deliberately - or what?

The "fuck you" speech from Spike Lee's 25th Hour.
That said, given its context in the film and in time (made in 2002), it's even more impressive. It's a wounded angry New Yorker ranting at the atrocities of 9/11 and the inhumanity of humanity that allows them to happen. It's also a brilliantly bitter insight into how a person when crushed can lash at out at something they love dearly and have the devastating ability to passionately hurt that something because they know it so intimately.
Plus, it's Edward fucking Norton - this guy rarely makes a bad acting move.
Awesome stuff. The movie's great too.

I tried a thousand things before I bothered everyone here I promise. I
just put a retail copy of xp on my HP laptop and for some reason I
cannot get the built in wireless card to show up.
Its a Pentium M 1.8 with a built-in Intel Pro Wireless 2200. I've
tried all kinds of drivers but the device simply does not show up in
the device manager. The only devices with question marks by them in
device manager are "Mass Storage Controller" and "Multimedia Audio
Controller"
Its an HP DV1000

What's a good, non-frustrating, way to approach this game? I find myself getting to anal about doing the main story line, trying to rescue survivors, doing the small cases, and getting achievements all at the same time. Which ends up leaving me dead, frustrated, and starting from the beginning. At that point I stop playing and go drown my sorrows in a random game of Texas Hold'em.
halp!

I was quite confused yet strangely intriqued and entertained. Eventhough I was trying to catch up with what the hell was going on with the characters for most of the episode I still really enjoyed it.
So... was it a mistake to watch this episode now that I plan to Netflix and watch the miniseries and Seasons 1, 2 and 2.5?
