Had used namesecure in the past but they've been idiots... had a spam problem and instead of fixing it, they're now charging for email forwarding (not hosting, forwarding). Many support emails when I was trying to figure out what the problem was were basically FAQ-answered (i.e. not actually read and responded to).
This is my business and personal domains, so I don't need crazy mass-management tools. Good support and a solid web management interface is what I'm looking for. The ability to edit my zone files would be nice but isn't absolutely required. thx!

i consider myself a fairly curious person. my current curiosity? who the hell are you people? and i'm sure i'm not the only one interested in this. so i figured i'd take it upon myself to ask a few questions to you shackers, just a few general ones about you, your life, who's your daddy and what does he do, etc. so the first question i thought i'd ask is:
What do you do for a living, and what did you originally go to school for, if at all?

I was looking forward to that movie but I think I'll avoid it now. And yes I am just throwing this out there to hear some rebuttals because I thought the consensus on the shack was that this was a pretty good movie. I trust my friends though...

Fuck I'm getting annoyed at trying to make a stronghold. It takes 30 AP, so I'd basically have to spawn within 10 AP of the location to have enough. That's not going to happen, today I spawned 19 AP away from the location, so I tried hiding until I got enough. Killed again, of course. :[

I mean, I love just about every James Cameron movie. Terminator = kickass. Terminator 2 = finest action movie ever made. True Lies = Best action comedy ever made. And you know what? Even Titanic has it's moments.
But Aliens... I don't know. The characters were cliche, the dialogue was bad, and the direction they took Ripley in didn't really fit with the first movie. I think mostly, though, that the first Alien movie was sooooo damn good that even a decent movie pales in comparison to it. In Alien, every scene was lovingly directed, and each evolution of the alien was a cool surprise. Aliens is basically a recap of everything in the first movie, but with guns and testosterone. And honestly, the gun scenes weren't even that good.
Am I missing something?

I got her installed last night. HOLY FUCK that is one sick difference. I've got it running @ 3.05ghz stable, priming away @ 1.32v for about 5 hours now without an error @ 60c under full load.
CS:source is now...laughably, insanely fast, 200+fps when running around on office w/ 22 players in game...dropping to INSANE LOWS OF 85FPS!!! with settings @ 1600x1200, 8xaa, 16x anisotropic, 'high quality' in nv control panel, transparency AA set for supersampling. Yarrrrr it's rock solid and reminds me of how cs 1.6 ran on my geforce 6800 setup :D Long story short, conroe + 8800gtx = teh win, buy them now kthx. I'm hoping to get this fucker to 3.35ghz, we'll see. It already spanks the crap out of my a64 @ 2.75ghz

I need help testing my new web application. I recently wrote an article called "The 5 Books that Every Programmer Should Read" that got posted on the front page of digg and delicious and 1000s of other sites. I had like 50k traffic in 3 days. I got a ton of feedback, naturally 252523543 people think I'm retarded, and think their book choices are better.
Well that got me thinking, and I wrote a web app that lets people pick *their* top 5 favorite programming books, and it aggregates the results. It has different categories for languages, technologies, etc. Basically it will help programmers find the best books for just about every type of programming.
It's done, and I need a couple of testers. People who have read programming books, and have an opinion on which books are good/bad/whatever.
If you're interested, please post in this thread, and I will sm you the info.
I don't want to release the site yet to the public, because I have not tuned the performance yet.

The best writer in comics today joins the writing staff of Lost. This could only bring good things. Lost is now lagging behind Heroes, BSG and Veronica Mars in the geek genre, IMHO.

Anyway, I was playing Titan on Verdun and had just spawned aboard my team's Titan after a nasty run-in with a Mech. Just as I spawned, the missile silo directly behind our Titan (and closest to our base) got neutralized. I ran to the pod bay and fired myself at the silo. As I was falling, the missile launched and missed my pod by inches. Whee! Below, I spotted an enemy troop transport taking off, their nefarious capture of the missile silo now complete. I aimed my meteorically-descending pod at the transport and RAMMED STRAIGHT THROUGH IT, destroying it and killing all 4 occupants in the process! That apparently met the criteria for the Silver Engineering Badge and awarded me 500 career points on the spot! Hurray for unlocks!

my dad just bought a fancy new 50 inch plasma and now wants a dvd player. his is old and busted and doesn't even do progressive scan.
he downloads a lot of videos online and watches them on his computer and it would be incredibly useful for him if he could watch them on his tv.
i've heard about dvd players you can apply updates to and stuff so they can play xvid and all the latest and greatest codecs.
so.. what's the hotness on DVD players so i can get it for him for Christmas?

I have no clue where to go. The last thing I did was save King Argus who was in the really big tree. I've completed the quests for the dwarves. The key items I have are the folding canoe, fangs of water, and fangs of wind. All indications are that I'm supposed to find a way off the floating continent, but I'm not sure how or where.
