Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Oct 26, 2006 6:00pm PDTSo holding out for a while I got one of them Logitech G5 mouse thingies and I'm quite happy with it. I didnt think I would care about being able to adjust the weight but it really did make a bit of a difference for me. I can now click porn 17% faster!

BURN THE INTERNET
BURN IT TO THE GROUND
so I got an invite to some crappy myspace clone called hi5, I created an account purely to humour my nice bisexual salsa dancing friend (female) who is a bit of a kook, in the process of importing my contacts, I missed a statement along the way that said WE WILL E-MAIL EVERYONE ON THIS LIST.
Now thankfully, THANK FUCK, it was my old hotmail list I was importing (of which only one shacker - Bean - is on) and I no longer use it for anything of consequence ... if it had been my gmail. Holy fuck. It would have been hundreds of people - serious contacts and so on. Hrrrrr.
I blame the lack of sleep but fucking hell, they should label shit like that more clearly. I had to send out an e-mail saying my broswer got hijacked. I'm sure most people will see through that and know that I got owned by a faggy website. :(

so im going through insurance after i got hit by a car in the bumper and the guy didnt leave me a note. if I go to the autoshop and tell them I want to put in an aftermarket bumper as opposed to the OEM one? is this something that I can do or will the insurance company keep a tight watch on what is happening?
I figure I might as well make lemons into lemonade if I can by replacing it with an aftermarket bumper that I want while just paying the deductible...
possible or no?

Epic beatdown of #10 Clemson tonight.
Say what you will about VT's deficiencies or their underperformance over the last few weeks, but don't ever, ever pick against them on a Thursday night at home. The Terrordome was in full effect tonight.

Potdata.exe is a part of APC PowerChute Personal Edition software.
potdata.exe is used for illegal access to Internet.
Kill the process potdata.exe and remove potdata.exe from Windows startup using RegRun Reanimator.

Removal: potdata.exe is removed by RegRun.
WTF is so dangerous about this process? Either marketing for antispyware products is getting out of hand or there's some insidious nature to this process of which I am unaware.

Ready... GO
Fathers company put together a program. This program runs a machine that has processes. I cannot tell you any more about the machine than that. The machine can have several mechanical problems of escalating scale, and assigns an error code to each problem which is then spit out onto the screen of the machines interface (Normal Windows PC running this c+ program and Win NT) and then the people monitoring the machine have to call my dads company to come fix it.
Now I have the full code of this program. I want that program to send an email to a specific place anytime an error message pops up.
Before I spend the next twelve months learning c+ to write this piece of code, I will ask the experts is this even possible?

Another question.
The PS3's buttons are they 255 levels of digital like the PS2 and Xbox or are they 1/0 digital like the X360?
because frankly, losing that "analogueness" just for wireless doesn't seem cool to me.
I beleive that's why they ditched it on the X360

Greenpeace is campaigning against Apple after it discovered presence of toxic substances in Mac laptops. According to Greenpeace's report, Apple products contain a number of hazardous chemicals like PVC and BFRs. The fan in the Mac Book Pro had a concentration of 262 mg/kg of TBBPA (a type of brominated flame retardant - BFR) which was the highest level in the fans among the five brands Greenpeace investigated.
Found the article interesting, I would really like to see how the toxic substances compare to those found in other PC manufacturers.

The Samsung SCH-i730 for Verizon is looking very tempting to me. I'm seeing some mixed reviews on it though, which means it could be a tossup whether I like it or not.
Anyone here have one or have experience with one? I'll be able to get it for a good price thanks to the new-every-two plan, so the cost isn't a huge concern.

I saw the Prestige this week (Which fucking rocked, by the way, and has the most chilling ending of any movie this side of Seven) and I loved the whole thing with Tesla considering I'm a huge steampunk / science fan.
So I'm cruising IMDB just looking for some Trivia.. And I think to myself "Wow, who DID play Tesla anyway?"

okay, I'm working on a Data Structures project. I have a Triangle Point Region Quadtree, which is basically just a PR Quadtree with triangles connecting the points. There is a list of all the triangles that intersect a region in all the full leaf nodes. Full leaf nodes are now defined as leaf nodes with triangles, and they may or may not have a vertex. I need to implement a triangle split operation where I take a new vertex from input and insert it into the quadtree. Then I split the triangle it falls under into three triangles, connecting all the points with the new vertex in the middle. It sounds easy enough but I'm only allowed to go through the quadtree once and I'm not allowed to visit and nodes that do not intersect the triangle. I can't figure out how to know which triangle the vertex falls under until I arrive at the leaf node that will store the vertex. At that point, how can I go back and fuck with the triangle in the other nodes where it is listed?

Man this movie is so awesome. The fact that it's so good just makes all the other shitty romantic comedies even shitter.
Billy Wilder has a pretty ridiculous track record. Double Indemnity, Sunset Blvd., Some Like it Hot, The Apartment, geez. Plus Jack Lemmon is great and Shirley Maclaine does an amazing job.
