Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, May 02, 2008 6:00pm PDTIron Man tonight! Then it's time to see if our surprising Dallas Stars NHL team (heard
of it?) can actually win tonight to make it to the western finals against Detroit. Yeah, I
dunno why Detroit is west either. They do everything goofy in hockey.

I think there is enough story to carry it without the love interest elements, and it just seems lazy on behalf of the writers.
I mean if you need the story element to move it along kidnap fucking alfred. I think in all the Batman movies the love interests really take away from the rest of the story.
Except for maybe Catwoman.

the main issue i have is that it chokes on elaborate flash stuff, like the age of conan site for example. would more memory help such a thing? looking at the istat widget in the dashboard it looks like i always have a couple hundred megs of ram free even if i have a site like that loading when i check so i'm not sure if more memory is going to do anything to help.

i think im starting to work out why almost everyone hates it
i have 2 of my own pc's with vista on them, one is 64 the other is 32. both are media centers so thats pretty much they are used for.
i built another media center pc this week for my father. vista 32, core 2 quad <sorry toraz i went for intel> and an nforce something mobo (same as my 64bit system)
all my ones have been flawless.
but this one im buiding for dad has had more bluescreens than something-with-a-lot-of-bluescreens.
i go to install updates and then sp1
it bluescreens during windows update which makes things fun. i finally get to install sp1 and it crashes and iit reboots and windows tells me it crashed and it has a solution the solution is to install sp1.
i might have to go and find a store with mce somewhere.

I found a cheap copy of Shadowrun and was thinking of picking it up after I played the demo, but don't want to pick it up if the game doesn't have anyone playing it on Live. I know, with it being an older game the number of people playing it is pretty sparse, but ...

I was thinking instead of Dallas, we can try the midwest Shack server. Problem with Dallas is that Goldrush isn't on the mapvote list. Anyway, the IP for the midwest server is 208.100.45.139:27015 and the pw appears to be the one used on Shackwest

Three Leaf Clover is officially the most badass mission (so far) in the game. Holy shit I blew my pants off on that mission. I felt like the dead presidents from Point Break and shooting Keanu Reeves in the face.
