Morning Discussion
by Jeff "geedeck" Gondek, Oct 26, 2007 4:32am PDTFriday here once again, quite thankfully enough. So did you see the Jam Sessions contest? It's pretty awesome as far as these things usually go. So what are you playing this weekend? I think I'm playing Go To Conferences a bit much, but that's an okay game sometimes too. Enjoy!

BOB released a video relaying orders of evacuation to all Allied forces to their core regions. Seems like its time to circle the wagons. My alliance mostly evac'ed yesterday and should finish it today. Things are about to get interesting :)
Very well made video over all so i thought i`d link it here.

BLU-RAYb} IS CLUTCH BABY!
That was hd-dvd's one chance to pull a win for a week, which means blu-ray will win every week in 2007 (and all the previous others were by much higher margins, of course).

I love my Starbucks, I love it a lot. I don't usually pay for my drinks, but when I do, I don't mind, and I tip because I'm nice.
For 32oz of coffee that tastes pretty damned good, I can't bring myself to ever go to Starbucks over McDonalds if I have to pay.
The coffee isn't the best in the world, and the blend could use some work, but for TWO FUCKING DOLLARS, it can't be beat. If they ever try to market pearl-tea, I'd tottally become a McWhore.
GOOD JOB MCDONALDS!!!

Certainly playable - looks pretty bad though in places though, lots of LOD popping and the grass only extends about 3ft in front of you.
I think I will upgrade sometime after Christmas and get something that will make this game FLY!

Pretty cool so far, will post more impressions as I play.
Also, kinda odd, that big no-savegame-install bug people were talking about didn't come up. If it happens only when you install the game...well, I didn't install it, but I thought it came up when you try to create a savegame or start playing the game? I had no issues.

Is the front-panel audio connector supposed to give the beep codes now or something? Because there is something with two plugs labeled "AC97 Audio" and "HD Audio". Obviously it would be nice if I could catch any of the error information the motherboard wants to give me.

i was messing around with it today in outlook 2007. so what's the point if i can't make subfolders? i like to set up a bunch of subfolders and have certain types of mail be placed in them as they come in by rules. i think i'm going to go back to POP. i really wanted this to work the way i wanted to because marking email as read between home and work was getting annoying.

Lucas VS Spielberg
i personally think that Lucas is an unimaginative twat who is only making money solely on re-marketing Star Wars over and over.

Any ideas as to why my computer randomly freezes while playing games? There's no visual artifacts or distortions. The game just freezes, sometimes the sound continues but then cuts out (like when winamp is playing and your pc locks up) then after 5-30 sec it goes back to normal. No resetting, no blue screen, nothing.

I love it so far, but it hasn't been a "On Macs, it just works!" moment.. I backed up my entire HDD, rebooted and did a clean install of the OS. Went to use Migration Assistant to transfer over all my old stuff from the backup, but oops, the old and new user accounts are the same name, so it doesn't work quite right.. It copied my apps over, but none of the prefs or anything.. Had to move all my Pictures, iTunes library, Documents, etc. over manually, then all my apps are like "Hi, welcome to the program, please enter in your registration info.." ugh.. this has been a treat finding all that old information.. Mail.app had to be completely re-setup.. Same with Firefox, etc..
OSX Leopard is damn nice though.. Stacks, Spaces, the new Finder, very nice. It's a slight bit sluggish compared to Tiger though.. not sure why yet.. Overall the upgrade was a lot easier than going from like XP to Vista though..
Only thing bothering me at the moment is the Shack comments are all in a bolded font, might be a CSS thing or something.. I dunno, need to fix it, going blind..

I want to be able to understand web programming/technology and its future, from a project management standpoint. I'm not going to be a programmer or a network tech in other words, but I'd like to have a high degree of visibility and general knowledge with respect to making current and future decisions based on the tools at hand and the path of technology. I guess I need a resource that can educate me from the ground up (in book form preferably), without me having to dedicate 4 years to understanding it. I need to be a better decision maker regarding these matters, and my problem is that I have no experience with this sort of thing.

I really love sci-fi, I was really looking forward to this game, and I've been looking for a new mmo to spend some time with...
However, I'm a bit burnt on monthly fees, Guild Wars has been much improved and is highly entertaining, and there are about 9583 other really kickass awesome single and multiplayer games out there right now, so its prospects aren't looking so good for me.

I fire it up, since I have it on a dual boot incase I'm feeling a little crazy.
I can't get custom resolutions to work under Vista 64.
64bit version of Crysis just does nothing when you launch it.
The "Computer" selection o nthe left in Windows Explorer (below public, above C:) still defaults to "Tiles" view and the option to remember / apply to all for this folder is greyed out.
Sad.
