It's a sad day at Austin Alamo HQ as we were informed today by Fox that we would not be receiving a print of BORAT this weekend. You can read more about FOX's rollback here. It's particularly disappointing to us because we've seen BORAT and it is awesome.
We hope to show BORAT starting Friday November 10 at our Lamar theater. We will know for sure on Monday November 6 by 6pm. Check this site for the latest news and showtimes.
Nobody is more excited about BORAT than we are and we hate to have to wait. When we do open the film we will have a stellar preshow of rare and imported Borat clips before the show and we may even dress up in green slingshot thongs, those of us who aren't handling food that is.
We hope those of you who are loyal to the Alamo will wait it out and see BORAT with us.

So I burned 4Gb of MP3 to a DVD to transfer from my home comp to my work comp (mostly techno stuff...). Some of it from back in the Napster days, some burned via StationRipper, etc... Majority of the files are 40 000 kb or better.
I opened up Windows explorer and it had sorted the files alphabetically. I then sorted it size-wise (I was looking for some particular 140 000 kb files to listen to (Paul Oakenfold Live at Creamfields-99)), and lo and behold....
It sorted into LARGE, HUGE, and GIGANTIC groups...
Neat!

I act as though I was scared & begin give them some candy. I'm planning on giving them a bunch because they are cuties. Then one of them says that she wants to pick her candy, so I show her what we have and ask her which she likes. She points to a Rese's Cup, "that one", so I give it to her along with a couple of extra pieces.
Then they see our dog, who is sitting in the living room watching the door with a sad expression on her face after being told very sternly to stay in the living room and not run to the door when the doorbell rings. They both yell "I want to pet the doggie!!" and before I can do anything, they run inside my house and make a beeline for the dog.
My dog is a sweetie, and was happy to see them, but the girls parents who are standing out in the street are now freaking over the whereabouts of their girls, who are busy loving on my dog & getting licked in face right back.
I yelled out to the parents what was going on & told the girls that their parents were calling for them, so the reluctantly left.
Cute girls, but pretty headstrong. I bet they are a handful. Little kids are the best on Halloween night. :)

I am a total noob when it comes to consoles, I own games across several consoles but I only own an Xbox. I have in my possession 3 PS2 games that I bought in Japan (In order to retain my skill with the language) but I do not have the console. I have noticed over the past few weeks about people posting about HDLoader? Or something... My roommate has a PS2 and I would like to get this HDLoader since I heard it doesn't care what region the game is. Could one of you fine gentlemen link me to a place where I can buy everything I would need to play my games? His PS2 is not the flat PS2.

7PM EST: Dracula, by Orson Welles. The first part of a Welles doubleheader, this (like WotW) is the original 1938 broadcast.
8PM: The War of the Worlds. The brilliant, timeless Halloween adaptation that had people panicking in the streets. Hitler referred to the uproar as, "evidence of the decadence and corrupt condition of democracy." More than any other evidence, the fact that Hitler didn't understand how awesome this was proves the Allies were cooler.
9-11PM: Halloween Shacknews style. Horror-themed game music, from titles in and out of the genre. Diablo, Silent Hill, Resident Evil, Fallout, Metroid, Castlevania, Mario, and more. Even a little Monkey Island.
12PM: Rebroadcast of War of the Worlds.

Rockstar can kiss my hair ass, there's no way I'm paying $50 for a handheld console game.
I'll pick it up used and Rockstar won't see a dime from me on it. Had they priced it reasonably, they would have made a bit of money off of me.

I had a thought at work today and did some Googling, but to no avail. So I figured I'd Ask The ShackTM.
Now that IE7 is out and has tabs, tabbed browsing + using sessions for state information can become a bit problematic. Say they're on tab A and they middle click and start going off on the site and doing other things that messes w/ session, then click back to tab A and click a link there, but things blow up because the information in their session is different.
Does anybody have a good solution to this problem?
I think an ideal solution (though one that would require official W3 standard & then 10 years for everyone to adopt it) would be the idea of sub-sessions. Say you have your session id, but you also have a subsession id. Whenever the browser opens a new window or a new tab it sends the same old sessionid, but a newsubsessionid; otherwise the old subsession id is sent. This could be a reliable way to detect new tabs/windows yet not have them interefere with each other (or perhaps even share info).
What do you guys do to manage the situation?

A company I work with in the DC / Baltimore area is growing quickly and they are looking for folks to hire and train as recruiters.
If you enjoy talking with technical folks, it's a pretty awesome job.
Biggest thing is a personality fit; IT experience is great and will help you pick things up quickly, but personality is the key.
You will be part of the team that recruits, selects, hires, and manages contract employees for their clients.
The career path for a recruiter there is either to transition into a sales role where you build relationships with the clients and business partners in a territory that provide the job opportunities, and manage the recruiters on your team (and from there the career path goes into management and higher-level operations roles), or you can continue with recruiting if you really dig it and become a senior recruiter.
Anyway, let me know if you're in the area and interested; I can get you a phone interview.

I have a shell script and an input file to the shell script. Whenever I build any of several different .vcprojs, I want to check these two files, and if either has changed since the script was last successfully run, run the shell script a total of one time.
To do this, I created a new .vcproj and made my other .vcprojs depend on it. Then I added my two files to this .vcproj. Then I made a Custom Build Rule file called "Execute Shell Script" that contained a rule that runs "bash [inputs]". I set the "Outputs" to "$(InputName)", but I don't really know what I'm doing there.
Now everything works exactly as I wish, EXCEPT that any time I build, my script gets run once, regardless of if anything has changed. Argh! How do I get the dependency checking right?

I beat it mainly by creating tons of bombers and having them patrol 3/4 of the map (not near his base where they could get AA'd) so he couldn't get a lot of resources. Then I used a combination of T3 assault bots and T3 mobile artillary to take out his base and finally his commander. I kept blowing up his T3 Power Generators so he didn't have enough resources to build any experimental units (which usually spell game over for me).
