Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Jan 09, 2007 6:00pm PSTSo after evaluating that iPhone thingie some more I'm pretty darn sure that I would happily own one. My only real concern is using the keyboard on the touch screen but I guess thats a wait and see kinda thing. The AppleTV is also cute although I wish it came in closer to $200.

What the fuck. I've been playing Ms. Pacman for about 18 years and one of the biggest aspects of why I like the game so much is that it's so much faster than the regular PacMan. So, why when you release all of these goddamn collections and the game on XBLA that you neglect to include that so important portion of the game?!?
Seriously, come on. It's not like it's hard to do or anything. Hell, I could do it in my spare time.
Don't make me pirate your game and use it in mame :(
Love,
Yanks

I'm going through Seasons 1 and 2 right now, and hot damn they're great. Sure, they idealize the president/White House/government a little bit, but that's exactly what I want to see. The dialog is fast and furious and I love it.

New 'tower defense' type game.
Just got my personal high score, 4415, using only fire towers. Got to the 'how are you still alive' bonus level, farther than I did when I had the combo towers.

This one was an animated show. Probably late 70's, with pretty spacy music. It was a sci fi series about 3 mutant heroes of some sort who crash landed in a big UFO (which may have resembled the Millenium Falcon in some way?) and were stuck in this weird planet. The heroes were two girls and a guy. One of the girls was black (and hot) and I think she had an afro, and she was a shapeshifter. I distinctly remember her turning into space panthers and stuff like that. The guy I think was super strong, probabyl had long hair and was prety buff. Don't remember the other girl that much, but I do remember she was also hot and probably psychic. I think they could all talk to a big computer that lived in the spaceship, and it may have been presented as a hologram of a floating head.
The animation style is a little reminescent of the Star Trek animated show from the 70s, but more polished.
GO!

I'm looking to replace my old Audigy2zs. I've been looking at the X-fi's, but bloated drivers really scare me. I'm the kind of person that runs SBAX_WBUP2_LB_2_09_0016\Drivers\Setup.exe to install drivers for these stupid cards. Is there any way to just get a basic driver install without a bunch of useless sliders and tools and bloatware? Colouring the sound with crystalizers doesn't sound too tastey to me, I just want faithful, clean reproduction of sound.
The problem is, I've been writing and recording music for about 5 years, and I hear that the X-Fi has some issues with recording. I've had nothing but trouble with professional cards, though, and I still like to game when I find the time to do so. It's a tough spot to be in.
I've also been looking at a bare bones audigy 4 se. My Audigy 2 was actually alright, it's just that something is wrong with the recording input, sometimes the recording quality just turns to crap and doesn't recover until I reboot (really annoying when you record a long guitar passage and find out it sounds like 8 bit audio - it sounds fine in the headphones while you're recording though... very odd). Just wondering how the Audigy 4 se compares with the X-Fi in terms of signal to noise ratio and it's DAC's - or whether the Audigy 4 se is just a rebranded Audigy 2 zs (I know they use the same chips, but the Audigy 4 did have improved signal to noise ratio and digital to analogues converters). Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks guys.

I have a friend who owns a "framing" shop. People bring their paintings, posters, whatever and he puts all kinds of frames (plastic, wood, metal, etc) in it.
Because each client needs his own custom frame, with its own size, getting a software solution is hard, specially in this small city. I'm trying to help him find something on the web.
Does anyone know a software that could do this?

FALL RIVER - A college student who mistakenly submitted a compact disc loaded with child pornography images to his professor last week is now facing felony kiddie porn possession charges.
Police reports quote an e-mail Erickson sent to his professor, in which he appears to attempt to shift ownership of the disc from himself to an unnamed friend.
"Oh snap, I am sorry. I accidentally gave you my friend's mixed music CD that I meant to keep here and install the music on my computer," Erickson said in an e-mail to his professor. "I found the CD with the (final exam) on it. If there's some way I could send it to you, that would be great.
OHH SNAP!

I think it'd be a great movie to watch high, though.
Also, Crank was pretty stupid, although I liked that it seemed to realize what a fucking absurd idea for a movie it was, and it ran with it all the way.

One of the guys here formatted his pc and reinstalled windows, and then remembered he needed something off of his hold drive. Does anybody know of a program that could recover that file? It's not important enough to send away to a data recovery place, but important to try and recover, and i have no clue where to start.
any suggestions, dear shack?
