by Jeff "geedeck" Gondek, Feb 13, 2008 5:47am PSTIt looks like EA released a pretty massive amount of info yesterday, so you might want to avail yourself of a good look at those. Given how much direction that they place upon the industry, like or dislike them, it's worth being informed. I for one am curious to see the innovation promised to stale sports series.
Saw a bit of action in last night's ET:QW game, good to see some solid players for that. I for one found my zen place with shotgun, if you haven't given that game a shot yet with good players then perhaps there's a Shackbattle in your future? Submissions are closed for the Savage 2 contest, and I should have to results today or tomorrow.

I am doing more research into our situation and our connection right now is a 768kbps line. I am assuming it's a DSL connection of some sort. I am getting prices on what we currently are paying and how fast our line is.
I asked accounting to see the latest bill
Internet service 768kbps - $550/month
Our monthly bill is around $1300/month for telephony/internet....this is fucking outrageous isn't it? The internet is god awful slow and the packet loss is terrible.
What are peoples normal small business internet expenses for around 50-100 people?

Last: If it was malware, is there anything I can use to remove it, or do I have to delete and reinstall everything to be safe?

Right now it's a single cap point map, size is about 4/3 the size of bball, the CP is floating in the air to where it's difficult to jump up there with 1 sticky, impossible to rocket jump up there from the ground. I'm planning on putting platforms all around the map so everyone can climb up there, and little walls on the floor for engy buildings or whatever so they don't get instantly destroyed. I just started this today, oh god im not good with hammer how did map get here.

Here's why I'm better than you: www.enkidulives.com/StH+Me.jpg The new edition of Surfin' the Highway was delivered to my house today and damn it's awesome. Long had I despaired of owning it, mostly because it went for insane prices on eBay and because I'm only barely not insane enough to buy it that way. Thanks be to TTG, who got another print run done.

I read your statement last night. http://www.shacknews.com/laryn.x?id=16248412
I felt that it deserved a response, perhaps you didn't see it. http://www.shacknews.com/laryn.x?id=16248613
I look forward to your impending retort.
I barely remember typing that, after the first paragraph, it was a stream of consciousness channeled from somewhere...

Window scroll issue fix
Fed up with my window scrolling all over the place when I click on comments, I started digging into this "javascript" mumbojumbo, more specifically Greasemonkey. I figured no one was gonna do it, so I may as well give it a shot.
This is a temporary, seems-to-be-working fix for the scrolling issue. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE FUCK ABOUT JAVASCRIPT: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. If the comments are ever updated again and shit goes bananas, uninstall this script first. Heck, uninstall it right now. But it does seem to work at the moment.
I offer no guarantees about the future. It is likely this script will eat your mother and blow up your computer.
That said, install here: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/22800

How do you read "lib" (generally the directory for libraries)?
Libb as in pit, or lye-b as in pie, or something else?
I greatly appreciate your servers. Really, I do. Thank you.
But you've got to edit your mapcycles so that cp_well isn't immediately followed by ctf_well...

Derailing Economic Growth
By Steven Pearlstein
The decision by the U.S. Transportation Department not to fund the extension of the Metrorail through Tysons Corner and out to Dulles Airport is an economic body blow not just to Northern Virginia but to the entire Washington region.

So, I mean, I could go get another mouse, but at the same time I know there's software out there that can do that for me. Windows Accessibility options allow you to do something similar for the keyboard, but not the mouse.

I don't mind occasionally uplifting endings but Dead Poet's Society is a bit of a vomitfest. After letting Keating get canned they all suddenly become nonconformists. fuck off. I read the wiki and realised the original ending was even worse (it would've essentially been the same except in court and with Keating dying at the end), however I loved Alexander Payne's take on a different ending:
"I remember feeling so cheated ... when they all stand up on their desks. Please. It's saying, 'Really in their hearts, people aren't conformists,' when quite the opposite is true. If I had directed Dead Poets Society, it wouldn't have made half the money it made ... At the end, he should go in, they all look at him, they feel guilty for what they've done, you want one of them to stand on their desk, none of them does, and he leaves, and you're left with a more chilling feeling. That, to me, says the same idea, that we should be nonconformists. The way it's done, you like it and you forget about it. I think it's a little more important to make movies that are challenging at the end. You've got to think about it more and come up with your own response."

My folks are telling me that in order number field the files are passing 8 characters. This might be a zero fill and the leading zero's are being dropped - is this possible that they start or end with 0's?
I responded:
All order numbers start with Zero. 1 in 10 end in a zero.

Oh I didn't think it would be that many
