Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Apr 07, 2008 6:00pm PDTWell then, I finally rid this place of that crazy foreign guy this afternoon so that's
a good start. Also been learning a dangerous amount about more server configuration stuff
lately. I've been actually baffled at how much control you can have over things with
Apache and the popular modules. There is a 100% chance I will blow things up again soon.
It's coming. As for this evening:
- Europe getting cell phones

- Y! says

off MS
- New iPhone is getting close
- Hack the IRS
- Scrabble fights
back
- Vista SP1 coming out, again
As for the the videogame news around these parts for today:
- The video game release list
- Stephen King on videogames
- Demigod delay
- Gauntlet on Nintendo DS
- Ninja Gaiden 2 footage and
href="http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/52092">screenshots
- Mafia 2 details
- Game companies closing
- GTA4 multiplayer screenshots
- BioShock 2 on PlayStation 3
- Trauma Center 2 release date
Lastly, damn FireFox is crapping out on DNS again. I'm sure not going to just keep
wiping and reinstalling every few days to fix this nonsense. I cant find a way to
completely disable the local DNS cache in FireFox 2 though. I've seen references to it on
Google but that option doesnt seem to be around anymore? Argh. Back to IE I go...

Anyone else have the mod installed? I wanna try shack multi with it later. Nixx, how is the comp?
Also, why can I search comments but my own comment history appears empty in profile? Will get fixed eventually, I guess.

When you receive a new car registration sticker, do you carefully peel off the previous-year's sticker, clean the surface so it's dust-free(as suggested by the instructions), then slowly putting the new one on, while meticulously ensuring the edges are aligned perfectly, just because on principle, this is the right thing to do?
Or, do you, like the rest of rampaging horde, just stick the new on top of the old ones(possibly starting a little stack of collection) ?

I wish I didn't have such bad Gamers ADD. I'm always quitting games in the middle and it drives me nuts.
Tonight I finally went back to Burnout Revenge and it's still awesome. I did the last five events I needed for a Burnout license and want to play it more. Anyone want to Shackbattle that guy some night this week?

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK me that was one of the most tense scenes I've ever seen. Goddamn this show really does a good job at... everything. I had a knot in my stomach during the scene when they are trying to find her car and holy shit.
I feel bad that I wasn't watching this show when it was live so I could take part in the "holy shit" threads the next day. I should go back and find the chatties from those days to see if there are any threads discussing it.
Goddamn. This show is amazing even though it makes me sad. :(

Those were a pretty nifty concept.
Saw those over a year ago. Thought they'd be out in the market by now :( The jaded masses can be pretty cruel.

We have a bit of a dillema here in Australia right now with ye old GTA 4.
The rumours are getting more and more apparent that our version really will be censored :(
I am looking forward to this game actually cheering me the heck up for a few days and well, I've got pre-orders at multiple stores, just so I can be sure one of them will do a midnight launch.
This whole censorship thing (no R18+ rating for games here) is killer, I kind of feel like I should import a copy from play-asia or New Zealand to avoid the damn censorship but that means no midnight launch.
I was REALLY looking forward to buying something at midnight and having 2 days off just to get right into it :(
What do I do? All the guys at work have the same dillema now too.
Curse our backwards government, so silly.
The more you know, etc etc.
