So I work in a small IT organization. ~15 people. I'm a senior developer. It's not unusual to have an office DJ assigned each day, where people are responsible for the tune-age around the office.
Lately I've just been looking up videos on youtube.com and using that as my so-called MP3 player.
Today I was the DJ and I blasted this at 3pm after getting out of a meeting where I expressed my disapproval of a recent upper management decision:

15 mins after that I was sent a meeting request for 8am (1 hour before start-time) for a discussion TBD. WTF?! LOL
Weeeeeee! Maybe I will finally get what I want!!!

I picked up Olympos yesterday in anticipation of finishing the first one. I hope it concludes the story in a satisfying manner.
Also picked up Peter F. Hamilton's Fallen Dragon and Pandora's Star. Heard about them on the Security Now! podcast with Leo LaPorte and Steve Gibson. I hope they're good stuff too.

Oftentimes I would load up over 20 pages or so of nested view Shack, and just go on the bus to get to where I need to go.
Is there any acceptable "offline" preloaded view for the dthread view? ie load all of the comments so that the web browser doesn't need to go online to fetch the next comments when you use the keyboard navigation method.

Does anyone have any suggestions for changes / additions to the stats? If you haven't noticed, I recently made the tables sortable by clicking on the column headings. About the only issue I have now is that the main page is over 200KB and I'd like to get that down a bit. I'm not sure if I should cap the race list (middle list) to the last 100 race and move the older ones to another page, or just make three pages out of the main page, one for each list with links to the other pages.
If anyone really knows statistics, is there a way to predict the fastest possible time for a track based on the times all the players have gotten (or the best times of each of the players0?

"You, sir, are remarkably articulate for one so small of stature."
I don't even know what to make of this... I'm not tall, but I'm no midget (5'8"), nor am I thin. I'm just a regular dude. And this guy is barely taller than me, like 5'10" tops. English isn't his first language, so maybe he meant something else, but I can't figure out what.
Therefore, I might as well take suggestions from you guys on how to reply to him. Have at it.

This means Rock Band is not even in sight.
Anyway I'm in the U.S. of A. in September.
Does any of you (Euro) guys know whether I can simply pick Rock Band up in the U.S. and put it into my 360?
-> Is the 360 region coded for games or some shit?

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is out world wide and most everyone should have their shipments, so here's the thread to discuss it all in. sgtsanity, a "mod" said earlier: Please keep all your posts in this thread, and any separate threads from here on out will be no-penalty nuked with a link to this thread.
For reference, the spoiler tags are "o [ spoilered text goes here ] o" except without the spaces between the letter and the bracket. Posts containing spoilers that don't use tags will be nuked, and deliberately trying to spoil the book for others will merit you some harsh punishment. Not from me, I can't do shit. But the people that can are always itching to nuke someone for something. YTMND.com and Something Awful are already trying to spoil the book, so be careful if visiting those sites. I'd also avoid all news sites since they like to spoil stuff too. I mean, look at http://www.woot.com !

I'm starting to listen to the Jim Dale audio book and he does just such an awesome job with the voices. When I read the book, it was his voice in my head, not my own.

Thought some of you might be interested in this. Some anon guy set up all sorts of scenes mimicking Blackhawk Down and put it all together into a movie, and he did a pretty good job of it, all things considered. It's worth a watch. Pretty cool what you can do with machinima these days.

Yeah, it's from ArmA. What'd you expect?

Do any of you know if there is a different IRC plugin I can use for Trillian? Is there something out there that will make it so that I can turn the colors off to IRC and leave them on when doing IMs in the various programs? i don't mind it being black in IRC but I would like to keep the colors for AIM.

Holy fuck, 8 days and 21 hours away? It really sneaks up on you, doesn't it. Well, I was trying to get some ideas of what is going on, what some people want to do, etc. etc. Normally a bunch of us go see a shitty movie, there is much fatty food consumed, couples sneak off for some sniffing, and then there is much drinking to be had. So I ask...
Anything going on Wednesday night other than standing in line for the BYOC? I'm just waiting for the actual registration to open to do the BYOC thing but I plan on spending some serious time actually gaming this year. A crazy fucking concept but I am going to give it a go. Anything fun planned for Thursday?
By Friday, almost everyone is in. People are already starting to stink. Friday is a great day to get out and do shit with people outside of Qcon. Anything fun planned for Friday?
Saturday was [H]ard|OCP day. But, http://www.quakecon.org/forums/showpost.php?p=151401&postcount=60 it looks like it shall be no more. A damn shame because the [H]ard|OCP keynote was always one of the best parts of the event! I know themelon is going to be hosting a party on Saturday and there is still talk of Fogo + Clubhouse action. What else is going on Saturday?
Sunday normally is the day when everyone gets a chance to let their anus rest. Some people finally break down and shower while others just break down into tears. I know I'll be heading out pretty early on Sunday morning but the question once again is, What is going on Sunday?
Any places on any day that a lot of people want to go to? Any votes on a movie? Lets get the ball rollin on this shit because normally it takes a bunch of shackers a good hour of standing around to figure out what is going on.

Do you really want your baby listening to Tool? Hell, yes! Instead of distorted guitars and thunderous drums, we’ve used mellotron, glockenspiel and chimes to highlight Tool’s dreamy melodies.

I have a guy that works at one of my client's offices and they have a nice big fat Small Business Server and 5 other people are using WM devices and I told him over and over again that for mobile email, I only support WM devices because fucking seriously, BESX is god damned expensive. Oh sure, if only he uses it, it is free. But after that... fucks sake.
So, can he simply check his mail using IMAP or am I going to be forced to sit through an hours worth of videos this morning on getting this shit installed?
I don't want to do work!

This site culls ur dataz from The Armory and looks at gear to determine guild progression, compiling rankings for all the guilds. Cool huh?
Looks like GCR is 17th on Mal'Ganis and 579th in the US:
http://www.wowjutsu.com/us/malganis/
My own guild is ranked 24th on Mug'thol and 2018th in the US. Owned, I guess. :( What's cool is that is also shows who the loot went to, what guilds people left and went to, and more.
