Morning Discussion
by Jeff "geedeck" Gondek, Nov 28, 2007 11:00pm PSTLadies and gentlemen, I bid you good morning. Things are looking pretty good around here, there's a fresh contest going on so bring your best writing chops to the table. I haven't had many chances to gather friends up for Rock Banding, but I'm glad those cries of busted guitars are being addressed.
So with the holiday gaming rush finally in control, I think it's fair to look forward a skosh. Post what game or sequel would you like to see announced in the next year. Give a bit of logic, no one really needs to be told Madden 08, but some justification of it's existence would be nice. I'll randomly toss out a Left4Dead t-shirt to someone tomorrow.

Yes, that was my kid chatting in the background while we were attacking A on GravelPit. He absolutely loves TF2, especially the pyros.
He even gets mad and pouts when I don't play as one. "Play the red fire man daddy! Pleeeeeease?"
He's also pretty good at spotting spies. He's saved my ass a few times. "Daddy there's a spy! Over there a blue spy! Where'd he go?!"

Does anybody go to these? I was wondering, what's my chances of finding a 8800GT at one? and if I did, how much should I expect to pay?

Green Bay Packers vs Dallas Cowboys
Who are YOU rooting for? I like the cowboys but I'd love to see the packers take this one home. I really would love to watch the game though >:(

2. Eidos, who has been and still is advertising the game heavily on Gamespot doesn't take kindly to this.
3. Gerstmann, after being with Gamespot for over a decade, is out of a job today.
I'd laugh if this wasn't so fucking tragic.

Lets say I have a book site. I want to add tagging capabilities. I want to be able to tag Authors, Publishers, and Books.
So I'd have a master table with Tag names in it. Then would you need a table for each type of table tagged? authors_tags, publishers_tags, books_tags; for the many-to-many relations? or would one table with a layout as such work? " tag_id | table_name | table_id " - fill that in with the 'authors' table then authors_id would be in the last column?

Basically, I have some questions that are kind of economic, businessy, maybe cellphone specific, who knows
As some of you may be aware, Canada has quite possibly the worst cellphone service in the fucking industrialized world. (and even out of it, I saw a graph today comparing data rates and fucking rwanda beat us). There are some fucking insane number regarding what even 500 megs of data a month would cost, in the states like 60 bucks a month, in Canada, somewhere around $2400 a month. A MONTH. We have no unlimited data options. Our voice plans are comparable to what existed 10 years ago in the US.
If you drive along the trans canada highway, which is the major cross country highway in canada, you will not get continuous cellphone coverage. I mean, I get it, theres a fucking lot of territory to cover with signal. But its fucking insane that in 2007, I drive from Calgary to Vancouver and spend significant portions of the drive with zero signal. Not even weak signal, ZERO signal.
3g is a joke. Rogers, being the only gsm network (both bell and telus are the cdma/tdma non-sim card kind) has only really managed to roll it out in southern ontario and little bits and pieces of other centres on a trial basis. They have not revealed plans on when they may extend it to the rest of the country. Given that large parts of the country are still dead zones anyway, I'm not holding my breath for anytime soon.
So whats the deal? Why is this? Huge territory mixed with limited population? Is it just because we dont have enough people to justify multiple cell companies and they can have free reign? I'm honestly confused. Our broadband has fallen pretty far behind as well. Little to no FIOS, fucking terrible speeds and very few options to get what is offered in the US. We used to actually have more access to broadband, what happened?
now I've just read reports that leaked documents show a $799 pricepoint for the iphone WITHOUT unlimited data when rogers releases next month. That is, get this, DOUBLE the cost for the phone when our dollar is at par, and we'll get shafted on data.
This is quite annoying. I think I'd be happy if they just fixed their huge gaps in coverage, but what the fuck is so hard with keeping up to date?

i just got one of those "come back and play here's 10 days free" emails so i checked to see what was left since i gave the account info to some of my friends who were still playing back when i quit. looks like they raped me of most of my gold but nothing else. the account has a 60 undead rogue and 60 undead mage as well as a 21 orc hunter all on tichondrius pvp server.
anyway, i'm not going to do anything with it, so if anyone is even remotely interested lemme know and ill post more details.
Does anyone else dislike the freestyle drum sections? It just sounds so out of place, and takes away from the music imo.

Don't get me wrong, the service is still fantastic value for money, but I might have to consider unsubscribing now that my daughter won't be able to play 90% of her playlist.

How would I go about finding what numbers to put in. Especially the "gateway" digits. I think I have the IP figured out and the subnet mask.
I'm using a Linksys router if that helps.
