2Everyone doing good? So we've got this new Digidump feature, it's pretty snazzy with screenshots and video. But really, how about that name? Digidump. Yeah, thanks Steve. Rock Band is looking pretty good, I'm looking around and see how to make it happen. Looks like this may be this holiday's Wii, so it's probably best to pre-order if you're interested.

Me:
Buffalo WHRHPG54 running Tomat 1.11, UPnP on, Xbox 360 set to DHCP
NAT is OPEN when running Network test on the 360
Friend:
Linksys WRT54Gv4 running Tomato 1.11, UPnP on, Xbox 360 set to DHCP
NAT is OPEN when running Network test on the 360
We can both have private chats and invite people to play Halo, just not with each other. Private chat fails to connect with no error, inviting to Halo results in the Bungie error screen telling us we have "OPEN NAT, the most flexible, see bungie.com/rotuers for more info".
Confused on why we can't connect to each other, I poke around google and find that some people need to open up ports 3074 UDP/TCP and 88 UDP on their 360.
So we set out 360 to static IP to enable port forwarding and notice the 360 test now says that I have strict NAT and my friend has moderate NAT. All we did was change from DHCP to static. Changing back to DHCP gives us an OPEN NAT again. Ok... so we change to static and open up those ports. Still can't chat or connect to Halo 3 lobby. We then try putting the 360 in DMZ, no change. We then try turning off UPnP, no change.
No idea what to try next. Any help would be great.

Everybody is saying that they sell like hot cakes but I don't think it's the case everywhere. I posted last week that there was tons of wii available at my local futureshop in montreal.

Well I went there today again and there was even more available. No one seems to be interested in the wii anymore over here. There was lot of ps3 and xbox 360 around this time though.
If anyone is desperate to get one, I could try to work something with you. Only if I recognize your name from the shack though...

I created a Blood Elf Paladin today. He's an Alt character, but I was curious, what are the ins and outs of the Paladin class? Best talent spec path? etc. I've never played a paladin before, so I'm curious about the class. He's "Holygonk" on Mal'Ganis if any of you gay GCR fags are around when I message you to get added to the guild..

I think there even might be some trails near me, tho I have no real idea. It just seems so much better than running, and I don't have a pool, so my cardio options are limited :(

As a bonus question, are there any old games you like to sit down and beat in a quick sitting every once in a while just for fun? I like to play Super Mario World and get from the start to Bowser using the star shortcuts; it only takes about 20 minutes. Also I like to play through Aladdin for the SNES every once in a while.

So I'm building this PC and I'm trying to connect the case's front power LED to the motherboard, but the LED cable's connector has three slots whereas the case only has two pins on its connector. The cable's connector has actual pins in positions 1 and 3 so I feel like I shouldn't just plug it in anyway.
Also which wire positive, blue or black? The blue one has a little arrow pointing to its pin, does that mean positive?
I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS SHIT

Bad method:
Tropical Smoothie. Questionably healthy, redoubtably delicious.
They have a punch card, normal stuff, buy 9 get 1 free.
Well, they list on the card that the lowest value item is what is free. So if you buy a wrap for $6 and a smoothie for $4, you only get $4 off the final price.
This is bullshit. There are a few possible situations:
a) I buy a wrap and a smoothie, I get to pick which one I get free (wrap) and I save $6, they still make $4
b) I buy a wrap and a smoothie, they decide which I get free (smoothie) and I save $4, they still make $6
c) I only buy a wrap, I get it free, I save $6, they make nothing
d) I only buy a smoothie, I get it free, I save $4, they make nothing
I had intended option A, but since they did not allow that, I went with option C, and bought a drink elsewhere. Had they offered option A, they still would have been out the $6 wrap, but they also would have made $4 on the smoothie.
So their draconian rebate policies lost them a sale. And me a smoothie :(

"Hi guys, I would like help in replacing my failed hard disk in a software RAID 5 setup, yes I know software sucks but I'm stuck with it for X reason, can you help me with replacing a dynamic disk"
Then 99% of dipshits follow up with 'you need to re-boot and go into some kind of raid manager' etc, wow reading comprehension.

Really good episode last night. I find it very cool that Hiro In fact CREATED the head villain! The idea that Mr. Innocent / good guy completely is not without flaws. A big let down for me is when someone is so "good" they seem very fake. In this episode is really showed that people like Sherish, Hiro and Parkman while are generally good can sway for what they believe, love and justice (respectively)
Something else I find just bad ass but I am not sure if my thinking is correct. With Peter's girl stuck in the future, if Peter changes anything to prevent that future that she will be lose forever? If that is the case it will make for some great story with Peter. Save the World, Lose your Love

It fills the entire screen, with just a little progress box.
Why would a developer think that I would want to sit here and wait for this shit to finish? Why not just do it like The Sims and install quietly in the background and let me know when it's finished.
Sure I can ALT-Tab to FF but still, i hate it when games do this.

I may catch a lot of flack for this, but at 1920x1200 with therything on high, this game looks great, and the deathmatch is Very "quake". Its fast, its precise, its really fun - and there are still a good number of people playing, it seems. This is the deathmatch experience i was looking for to compliment my tf2 playing. Any other shackers still play it?

If you try to load a Fire Emblem save from the previous game on the new Fire Emblem that came out today you crash the Wii.
Oh and fuck these lazy developers who say they support widescreen but put design patterns on the edges of the screen.

I need to implement a Bayesian classifier for a web application and I'm having problems figuring out how to store the data. Let's assume that the application is like the shack and people create new posts. Each post can be modded 'nuked, stupid, political, informative, offtopic, ontopic'. So there's a 1-to-1 relationship between posts and "categories".
Basically the client wants some auto-categorizing functionality. So someone creates a new post and it automatically tags it as "informative" based on the content of the post.. and it learns over time and becomes more accurate.
So anyways, I've written code that does this using a Bayesian library, but I'm not exactly sure how to integrate with this web application. My code is just a little script that does not persist any kind of data. The only way to actually persist this data is to write the actual objects to disk. You can't really store the results of a bayesian algorithm in a relational database. Do you think it would ok storing the objects as data on the filesystem of the server? I wonder if there's going to be any multiuser/threading issues. Anyone deal with something like this before?
