In vista, you can map network drive same way, but instead of http://www.shackspace.com/upload.x you use ftp://shackspace.com
Works the exact same way.

I could have used your MAD SNOWBLOWING SKILLZ today:
I woke up today and my driveway looked like this:

Thats about 3+ feet of snow at the road, and a huge drift of at least 3-4 feet down below. The driveway meets the road between the telephone pole and the mailbox.
I had called my plow guy last night, and he came around noon (I was home sick and not going anywhere anyway). He started to clear it, but got stuck, which must've freaked him out so he left.
Which left me with this:

A barrier of snow, about 4 feet high, and about 10 deep wide. I launched a probing mission to see how bad it was, which was pretty bad, and aborted my attempt at digging out.
Thankfully, he came back at 7:30 tonight and finished the job.
*sigh* Can't wait for summer:

As some of you may know, a 'universe war' of sorts has errupted in EVE ONLINE with pretty much all alliances in it. Most of the alliances are ganging up on BOB who was in the middle of a huge recent controversy.
Here's a picture of an absolutely MASSIVE fleet that decimated one of BOB allies ship yards today where a TITAN class vessel was being built and reportidly the titan BPO was also destroyed. BPO = original blueprint which allows for unlimited copies of the item to be manufactured and in this case would have cost an immense ammount of money. The titan would also be an immense ammount of money.

However, the only time my iPod syncs is after I reboot it. If I add a new video or song or picture while it is plugged in, nothing happens (and I have everything set to auto sync). When it does sync, it takes FOREVER. Holy shit. Adding one 200 meg video takes 10 minutes, and this is plugged directly into the onboard USB port.

Is this just an American thing or am I, and everyone i know just crazy?
I know you crazy Americans can't pronounce Solder properly (SODDER, LOL!!) so i'm a little wary about saying it like Fort-sa until i can get some proper Australiasian/European confirmation.

I'm thinking of building a home theater PC in a few months and would love a card that does Dolby-Digtal & DTS real-time encoding.
This one seems like a good pick, but haven't heard of it before.

Do I buy Armed Assault ( I LOVED operation flashpoint, but have less time now to get the most out of the mods) or Supreme Commander (I LOVED TA but I don't have dual core and the demo ran a bit poopy when you got up around 100 units each) or Hotel Dusk (I LOVE the sound of it but its £35 because it's an import copy and I could get it cheaper online)

I love NFS:Porsche Unleashed (I wish it didn't look like crap with newer GPUs) and though NSFU was alright but too arcade-ish and got kind of annoyed with how it tried so hard to be hip.
I just played some of the NFS:MW demo and it's fun, but seems a little too basic.
