Is there a blood elf 1-70 leveling guide you guys know of? Or perhaps a Mage one? Or anything i could reference?
I'm a developer, but because I'm not in the right department, my pleas for relief have fallen on deaf ears. Today I finally got tired of the run-around and added my domain account to the administrators group for my local machine. Problem solved. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea for them to have standardized the local machine administrator account names/passwords. lol
I'll probably get a nasty-gram about it in a day or two but at least I can do my damned job right now.

Sure C&C 2 sucked, but Generals was great, so they had a chance.
But no, the entire time I tried it I kept comparing it to Supreme Commander, and finding many flaws. I very much dislike the new building interface. I'll build shit and forget it finished, and it ends up sitting there waiting on me. The buttons are way too huge as well. The interface would've been a lot better w/ 32x32 or even 48x48 buttons, instead of those 64x64 monstrosities.
And is it just me, or is there even less variety than in Generals? Seems the tech tree is all around smaller. Less types of ground units, way less types of air units. No more waypoints when moving from point to point for whatever reason too. And things blow up way too fast. Just a couple hits and everything is toast. The ion cannon and nuke seem ridiculously overpowered.
The storyline seems very captivating. I absolutely love that they've returned to FMV. Hopefully someone puts those up on YouTube so I won't have to drudge through the game to see the awesome story. :P
But at the end of the day, I was really frustrated by what felt like limited options and a clunky interface.
It sure looked fantastic though. Definately better looking than supcom, and it ran at more than 20fps after I built units.

I hate a warm pillow when I am sleeping. AITOO?
A friend emailed me this afternoon to say that she bought some pillows at Costco they're called 'ahhh' .. they're about 1/2 the size in width of regular pillows. they've got gel beads - quite comfy and squishy and wonderfully cool!
I gotta check these out.

We are setting up a linux development network at work and I need some advice in terms of what to run for the server. I'm quite experienced with Linux server admin but I don't really have the time to admin this network 100% of the time. Is there a reliable distro that has some nice built-in GUIs for administering DNS, maybe HTTPD, and other miscellaneous server functions?
I had been thinking Ubuntu but it's a pain in the ass since this network is offline. Maybe Fedora core?
Also on the topic, what do you folks find is the best linux flavour for a development workstation? It should be fairly intuitive since a couple of the guys haven't used Linux all that much as a primary workstation. Again I was leaning towards Ubuntu or Fedora.

But while I was there, I decided to try to find one of those glasses that you get when you order like Jack on the Rocks or something.
So I found them, but heaven forbid if I wanted them in a set of less than SIXTEEN FOR FUCKS SAKES.
Jeezus H. And I almost paid the fucking 12 bucks for 16 glasses, just because I wanted one. Thankfully I exercised restraint in the situation. Partly because I just spent most of my play money budget for this paycheck on the 60$ TV :(

the redheaded jazz singer got kicked off, and she sang as they ran credits. the good part, though, is that she changed the lyrics to "Feelin Good" by Nina Simone. She started singing "why did I decide to scat? Nobody in America likes jazz anymore.."
...and cut to commercial. the director pulled the plug on her shit. fucking hilarious.

I'm trying to get a site I made to look the same in Firefox as IE. I have 3 issues, but I will limit myself to asking help on only one for now. If anyone knows a solution, I would be extremely grateful. I think it shouldn't be too hard, but I'm without a clue.
I have a text link in a DIV that I do not want underlined. I have included "text-decoration: none;", but that only seems to remove the underline in IE. It is still undelrined in Firefox.
Is there anything I can do about this, or do I just have to live with it?

No see, your an idiot. First off, I have beat this game numerous times (As it does run off the Half-Life 1 engine and is available on STEAM) I don't get jealous off 25 year old virgins who no career (job if your that much of an idiot) who think they have skill because they finished a video game in a certain amount of time....bad news, that won't help you in life....
With that said, this run is lame, because he cheated and wrote down every security code. CHEATER!
