I am eager to start trying out this game (been playing WoW since release) and I am looking for some opinions on different types.
I enjoy healing / support characters mostly, but I feel that something like that for my first type in the game might be a little more difficult. So what would be a good starting class to get and know the details about how things work? Would a support / healer be hard for my first experience with the game?

So i've done everything i can now and my new board / cpu etc still overclocks like shit, done all my research and well - it's bad luck.
I've got several comments
1, to all those i suggested purchase an E4300, here - right before your very eyes is an apology, I am man enough to say it - fuck that model and spend the extra 150$ US - my one overclocks nothing short of terribly - get the E6300 at _least_
2, lol @ me, since I know a lot of you will anyhow - such is life - it's karma or something.
3, and with that - fuck PC gaming - for good, bye bye, I can not afford it.
I've been on the edge with this for a while but when this 'free' board and cpu came along - I thought it'd be silly not to put a 300$ video card in there and have a quite capable PC gaming rig darn cheap!
I know you shouldn't rely on overclocks but well - frankly I don't rate PC gaming as important as I used to, so I need to do it on a budget. if I can't do it cheaply* well then i'm out.
plus every other dick, internet wide got heaps of speed out of this model
*, I nearly wrote 'for cheap" fuck you guys and your terrible grasp(s) of the english language
and finally - X360, v.soon for me I think, v.soon.

Some new info:
- Queuing of up to six downloads, download manager
- Support for Bluetooth KB and mouse
- Site for the Folding@Home client: http://www.scei.co.jp/folding/en/
- BC games list: http://faq.eu.playstation.com/bc/
"Up to 6 pieces of content from the PlayStation store can be queued up for download while the user enjoys other functions of the PS3 system, including playing games"
I guess that only means it'll keep those things in a queue while you play them, not actually download?

We're reaching another big milestone this week. After months of testing with many thousands of users, we're ready to move Joost on to the next stage of its development.
In preparation for this we're closing down applications for the beta testing program on the website at the end of Thursday (GMT). Between this time and the public availability of Joost, access will be by invitation from beta testers only.
So this is last call to apply via the website!
The good news is, that everyone who applies before we close will get access to try out Joost within the next couple of weeks - how is that for a treat? :o)
As you can might imagine, this is a very exciting moment for us. A big thank you to everyone who has helped to bring us this far - and to the rest of you, we look forward to inviting you to try out Joost for yourself very soon.
Go Apply !!

i wrote a tiny vbs script a few years ago that creates a text file and fills it with some stuff. one of our clients recently installed vista and now the vbs is giving him a permission denied error. the line in question is the CreateTextFile line. i'm assuming something in vista's new security features is causing this problem.
the client seems pretty fluent in computers. he knows how to right-click/run as administrator on problematic exe files, but the same option doesn't seem to exist for vbs files.
i don't have vista so i have to turn to the shack for help. how can he run this vbs file as an administrator? or, if need be, how can he disable the security feature that's causing the script to die?

Not me, it hasn't even been dispatched yet. At least I managed to get it for 24.99 before they raised the price to 34.99, but damn I just wish they would dispatch it already.

I have rid Pacific City of all the gangs, a very crappy ending which was worse with the fact that they didn't even use the character you chose in the end. I've got 456 agility orbs now, and have gotten every achievement other than those dealing with races, and vehicle stunts. I'm glad I purchased this game, its been addicting and fun. I easily got a good 20 hours out of it so far, I want to try and get as many achievements as I can now dealing with vehicle stunts and races and then take a shot at beating the entire game again in co-op. Love this game, pick it up if you haven't and own a 360.

so I've come across something that simpy perplexes me,
I have two stored procedures that are used to update the average cost of an item in an inventory database, the first statement is very straight foward and is used when you know every thing, the second one is used when you dont know the costs at time of receiving and have to update it later, it uses a case statement to help figure out what to do
basically, the first stored procedure works fine, however the second one rounds the number down
I can post the code for both as well if this will help

I had ace/king, I raise pre-flop to narrow the field down, 2 guys call. flop is like K, 6, 3. I reraise, 1 dude drops out, another calls. On the river came another 6. Long story short, I lose more than half my stack because motherfucker had 6/3 unsuited in hand.
What kind of fucking idiot goes into a raised pot with 6/3 unsuited? Argh.

Got some Claratin-D last night. It actually works pretty well. I can breathe now!
Still some slight tickling in the back of my throat, mouth feels constantly dry and I feel a little more... upbeat than normal, but overall a hell of a lot better than the previous few days.

really fun game, lots to do blah blah blah
I think i got a game-stopping bug. i'm in the factory with the hacker that i need to kill in order to continue my mission.i got a factory key earlier, which i used on a door, and then proceeded to continue through the pretty simple maze. at some point, i get to a "boss fight" a really simple one with like 10 MAXes attacking you after you first see Judis Poopack. the next door, up the elevator and across the room (with cranes, and a blue "ship" in between) requires a Factory key, which I thought I had, but apparently I don't anymore. can I find a second one of those ? is it supposed to be "consumable"?
