Morning Discussion
by Jeff "geedeck" Gondek, Jan 23, 2008 10:35pm PSTGood morning Shackers, hope the day finds you well.
Do you know how hard Nick works in the video mine every week? Let's just say he does it so you don't have to face the awful truth. Show your appreciation by checking out his latest Replay Couch . Also, Aaron brings word on some of the changes to GTA IV.
Even if you don't like the word "Blog", the results are rather nice:
Battlefield 4 launching October 29; confirmed for Xbox One and PS4
In case you missed it, watch the Xbox One recap here
Xbox One doesn't require always-on connection, but mandatory installs tied to accounts
Call of Duty: Ghosts preview: rebooting a franchise



Weimaraner or German Shorthaired Pointer?
I do marathons and tri's, so I want a dog that can go trail running with me. I'm hoping the dog can hang with me for 6-7 miles. Thoughts?
I looked at getting a Blue Heeler, but they're a shepherding dog. Without sheep to herd, they get bored and start to "herd" you, your kids, your other dogs, etc.

I know a few of you have asked me for a curry recipe before. I finally wrote up my recipe for simple Indian curry with chicken. This is what it looks like: http://www.turnofthecrank.com/wtf/curry/CRW_9623.jpg

Not much talk about this game. Its look really, really cool. I'll probably pick it up after work today. Those of you who have the game, how are you liking it?

the first thing they talk about is how all those stupid little dogs like yorkies, pomeranians, pugs, and wiener dogs will go extinct cause they cant do anything for themselves cause of their short legs and smushed faces. and i was happy, i hate those things. always wanted to see if i could punt one across the street

I've seen a few people saying the lack or warp and retry isn't that bad. From a completionist point of view (in previous Burnouts I would only go on to the next race once I had gold) how hard is it going to be to complete the game in your opinion?
Also is there definitely no split screen? Can you take turns?

Don't laugh at me as this is probably an insanely simple task. I've started my first C++ course in school and I am working on our first program. I've gotten the program finished and I want the command window to stay open after all of the results are printed on the screen. I then want the user to be able to just hit enter to close the window.
I have tried cin statements with all different types of variables but for any of them I have to input some kind of value before the window will close the enter key won't do it by itself. How can I fix this?
Closing the window using the enter key isn't required for the program but I think it adds a nice touch.

I'm running a VBA macro. I need it to delete all the text boxes in a certain region on a graph. There's a few titles in more text boxes (they can't be moved into the graph title, they must remain in text boxes), so I can't just cycle through and delete every text box on the screen.
Normally I just record a macro and copy the code, but if I select the region I'm trying to delete it just tells me "ActiveChart.Shapes.Range(Array("Text Box 97", "Text Box 98", "Text Box 99")). _
Select"
This won't work out because I need to put more Text Boxes in after I delete these, and apparently they name sequentially. So this run of the macro I might need to delete Text Box 97, 98, 99, but a few runs later they will be called Text Box 109, 110, and 111...
Basically, is there a way to tell Excel to select everything within a region (I have to coordinates) of the screen? Alternatively, can I tell it to select ALL textboxes, and then go back and deselect the ones I don't need? Any other solutions?
Thanks :(

So a while ago my launch 360 stopped working. Specifically, I got the "unplayable disc" error; the console wouldn't read any games or DVDs, only displaying "unplayable disc". The INTARWEBS suggested a number of solutions, most notably a) cleaning out the drive with compressed air and b) disassembling the drive and replacing a lost washer. I tried a to no avail, so b was in order. I disassembled the 360 and opened the drive, but there was no washer error. :(

As you can see in the vidoe, the problem appeared to be with the motor of the drive. All of this while, by the way, I was resisting the advice of the evil naysayer Umbr, who suggested that I send the xbox in to get it fixed. Macguyver doesn't "send it in". When all seemed lost, I desperately tried one of my more ridiculous plans: to start up the 360, and, when the drive is trying to spin the disc, manually flick the disc around, like an old-timey bush pilot trying to start up his prop.
http://www.foxhawk.com/Files/Depot/xbvideo%20001.avi
The rest is glorious, glorious history. So if you're getting the "unplayable" disc error, please know that there is potentially an easy solution!

It qualifies fairly literally as bread and circuses. It's money that's going to be used to buy cheap food and vapid entertainment (or has already been used for the same).
