CULINARY KNIFE MENZ!
So, I just bought a set of Global steak knives because the mis-matched pair of knives I had been using for that purpose were falling apart. I gotta say, they're very nice and look good with the one-piece construction.
I was thinking about upgrading my entire cutlery collection to something a bit more effective and attractive than the $8 chef's knife I bought 6 years ago at a supermarket.
So... that being said, what are some good kitchen knives? Should I stick with Global? I really liked the look of the Shun knives, with their Damascus-style blades, but I don't know if that's just an expensive affectation.

History is altered all the time. What matters is how and why. Thus I see no reason to quibble over the absence in 300 of breastplates or modest thigh-length tunics. I can see the graphic necessity of sculpted stomachs and three hundred Spartan-sized packages bulging in spandex thongs. On the other hand, the ways in which 300 selectively idealizes Spartan society are problematic, even disturbing.
Yes, and I thought 300 was a historic movie meant to be shown in classrooms to educate our students on greek history...

We're currently considering shaking up things a bit at work regarding our development process, and part of that discussion is IDEs. Right now we use Dreamweaver, but nobody really likes it, and one developer has even quit using it in favor of gVim because he had a lot of problems w/ it's slowass FTP.
We're also looking to switch from using Dreamweaver's check-in/check-out system in favor of CVS or SVN.
I did some comments searching last night and got a list of IDEs to check out, and we've narrowed it down to two:
Rapid PHP 2006 & Zend Studio.
Right now we're all really digging Rapid PHP, but it doesn't have any sort of version control stuff built in that we can find. :( That's pretty much the only downside. Since we are all SVN/CVS nubs we were kind of looking for a more integrated solution.
Zend Studio does, and it also has the ability to do remote debugging, which sounds neat. But for some stupid reason the thing includes Apache w/ it's installation, and I can't figure out a way to have it not do that. Even if we don't end up using the remote debugging, there's no way we're going to want to have apache & mysql running on each developer's workstation. That just seems ridiculously retarded. Zend Studio also doesn't have as nice of an UI as Rapid PHP does.
So, what experience do you guys have with these + with source control junks? What advice do you have and etc?

As those screens show, BIS just discovered and fixed a bug that was artificially limiting the in-game view distance in Armed Assault. Previously you got a great deal of view fog at 3km+ view distances, making higher viewdistances fairly pointless. Now, however... that's all changed.
The way it looks now is quite impressive. These screens are mostly from a 10km view distance, but there might be one of a 5km view distance thrown in as well. This is going to make jet aircraft ridiculously awesome. For those who didn't know, you can set up a mission to give different units different view distances... so, infantry could have a 2km view distance, with helos having 4km, and jets having 6km (as one example), so that people who don't need to see so far can have a lower view distance and get better performance because of it.
This should show up in the next ArmA patch.
More screens...

Agents Scully and Mulder are no match for the Xbox 360's "X-files" report. Only Official Xbox Magazine can declassify the five biggest games coming out for the console that "the man" doesn't want you to know about:
* 5: Hellgate: London-
* 4: Crimson Skies 2-
* 3: Duke Nukem Forever-
* 2: Star wars: Knights Of The Old Republic III-
* 1: World of Warcraft: Azeroth Adventures-
I have heard rumours of #4, and #2 multiple times lately - number 3 I would totally understand as they need to make money back - plus George seems pro console mmm

While I loved NOLF, I have to say my favorite game was Quake(world). I played online for more hours than I care to admit. I loved the speed of it, I loved the simplicity of it. I loved the community. I don't think Deathmatch has been as much fun since that game. CTF (ThunderWalker mod was the best!) was also tons of fun. Then getting my first Voodoo card and seeing the game with what seemed like knew eyes, man, that was a blast.
I realize that games are much more sophisticated now, but somehow, I just don't enjoy them as much. I don't know if it's because it was something new or if maybe I'm just jaded now and looking back fondly on the past, but I do miss those days of playing Quakeworld for hours on end.
Any games like that for you?

I always say "Can I get a XXX" where XXX is quad-core mac pro with dual 30" widescreen displays.
Or I say "Can I have a Porsche 911 with the the turbo package?"
I hear people say "I need a big mac" or "I want a double whopper" or at work "I need my design adjusted to say I suck cock I'm on a tight deadline please advise".
I'd feel like a dick if I walked up to a person and demanded their services. I also almost always say thank you when I get a receipt. Am I a big pussy because of this?

All the tests for Lymphoma come back Negative, thank God. However, because they don't know whats wrong, they did a bone marrow biopsy yesterday. They are looking for anything abnormal that would cause her blood counts (WBC RBC and Platelets) to be low. Hopefully, it was from a medication she was taking for her previously diagnosed Lupus (a year ago). She was on Hydrochloroquin which can cause most, if not all of the symptoms/screwy lab readings that she has had. HOPEFULLY this is what it is and not something that we haven't found yet. The doctor wanted the bone marrow biopsy to be able to give her a 100% clean bill of health. It will be at least a week before these results come in, so please continue praying and I thank everyone for their SM's and emails.
