Apologies if it's a repost, but this is just unbelievable to watch a production car do these kind of speeds.
Recommendations?!

I love a good taser video, but the guy saying "Taser! Taser! Taser! Deploy!" makes me lol.

Do all boxes of the 360 HD drive come with the remote, or just the King Kong bundle? I've just ordered this ahead of pulling the trigger on a new Panasonic PTAE1000 PJ. I have the mini remote that came with teh first batch of 360s, but I'm not sure that it's still working as I left the batteries in it without using it for, well, never.
Any ideas? I've looked on a few sites but it all seems to be marketing blurb and little reference to the boxed contents.

So, I've launched into the console gaming world. First, I bought a Wii, and have enjoyed that a lot. Now, pushed along a bit by my girlfriend's desire to play DDR again (she owned an old PS2 that died), I bought a PS2.
So. What games should I play? I'm looking forward to Shadow of the Collosus, Ico, GH2 once I save enough money and Okami. Is there anything I'm missing? Is there something I should play first? Is there anything fun to play with my girlfriend, like Lego Starwars? Help me console shack!

I thought for sure there would be some sort of unlockable feature or at least an achievement for getting through the game on a harder difficulty.
Los Mertos on the first island was generally still pretty easy. I died a few times, but that was only when fighting some of the bosses. Then I got to the Volt island and I got my ass KICKED. I even had a guy play with me with his maxed out character and he was dying a fair amount.
Still love the game, but I am thinking about going to the regular difficulty.

The text looks all bold and weird and annoying! Is this how it's supposed to look in this crazy operating system or is there something I can do to make it look more like how it's displayed on a PC :(

In reference to red2lucas's post ( http://www.shacknews.com/ja.zz?id=13880172 ) on wide icons, I did some searching on how to actually use these icons. Turns out on the XBMC Wiki ( http://www.xboxmediacenter.com/wiki/index.php?title=XBMC_Wide_Icons ) there is a ton of available images for use not only for XBMC, but HTPC's in general.
http://tvdb.zsori.com has a search-able database of available icons.
Just passing the information on to my shack brethren.

I've already gotten my MacBook. Now I'm trying to get a free Ipod through Nuitech.
I've noticed that just since I've completed my macbook offers, the terms for some of the merchants have changed.
Two examples:
Active Periodicals now says that you must pay the first monthly payment to get credit.
Stamps.com now says that you must say a customer beyond the 30 day trial to get credit.
Can anyone who's signed up for these more recently confirm that these are in effect?

I was flying from Charlotte to Columbus with a stop in Memphis. On the Charlotte -> Memphis leg, I was seated directly in front of an incredibly friendly woman who had an uncanny knack of making friends with anyone. She of course used this talent on the older sitting next to her.
So, for about 20 minutes, I heard this woman talk. And talk. And talk. I heard about her children, her brothers, where she went to school, her friends, what she planned on doing on her trip. Blah blah blah blah. Thankfully, the stewardess told us we could use electronic devices and I threw my headphones on and eventually drifted off.
About 16 minutes later, I was awoken by a great deal of commotion. The male stewardess was running up and down the aisles, there were babies crying and there was a rather pungent odor in the air. As it turned out, our chatty friend had thrown up all over herself. As I was sitting in front of her, I tried to make sure that no vomit had made the trip over the seat and handed in my hair or what not. Ugh. So this went on for another 15 minutes or so - the male stewardess running around, trying to get the mess cleaned up, but woman telling everyone in earshot how sorry she was.
Eventually the vomit stopped, the mess was cleaned up and the woman started feeling better. I knew she was feeling better since she started talking again. Her children, her job, I even heard all about complications when she was giving birth.
On my flight back from Columbus I was stuck next to an unaccompanied minor who was an absolutely spaz. He was crawling everywhere, fiddling with everything and shaking the seats. The stewardess kept talking to him in an EXTREMELY LOUD VOICE even though I was clearly trying to catch some shut eye.
Could somebody invent a teleportation device? I hate planes.

I kind of feel like a noob asking what ir probably the most basic questions, but if I never have much interaction with one, and wasn't interested when they first came out, How am I supposed to know?
Thanks.

according to Major Nelson, the GRAW multiplayer demo should be up now.
as usual, free right now for Gold members, showing up for silver members later (my guess is a week or so)

Apparently, they'll change the map around a bit dependant on track.
Personally, I like it and it's great to see a lack of logos plastered all over an F1 car.
