Morning Discussion
by Jeff "geedeck" Gondek, May 08, 2008 2:47am PDTMay your Thursday be better than every Thursday that came before it. So you remember Pandemic, right? Mercenaries, Battlefront and more? They announced their newest title, which seems to be a Lord of the Rings game not straying too far from their pedigree. And in phrases I never expected to type, Stride gum is my new hero, as they throw their support behind the movement for Uwe Boll to quit making movies. Humanitarians they are.

We found out later that multisync couldn't make it because he a had a date. We didn't believe it and just assumed he had a WoW raid or something. At the end of the night, after we all saw Iron Man a tad bit tipsy, I texted him "So how was your date? Did the night elf put out?". I didn't get a response that night, but the next day I found out through Portax that his date was using his iPhone when he received my text lol. She promptly didn't "feel well" and had to go.
In other words I cock blocked multisync through SMS lolz.
Anyways, in this thread we all congratulate Portax on finishing law school!

The last awesome movie I seen was I am Legend..
I'm on Netflix now and I can't find anything. Its like 99 percent pure shit movies...
Why they suggest most of this shit is beyond me. The only movie I have even heard of that they are suggesting is "Walk Hard" which looks retarded
Bonus points if said movie looks awesome in HD

Fellow SFBA Shackers, I have tentatively made plans for a Shackmeet this July to go shoot stuff. This post is mainly to gauge interest and also pick a good date we can all agree on.
I haven't set a date yet but I'm thinking either the 5th of July (Saturday) or the week following on the 12th of July. The range opens at 9 AM and we'll shoot until everyone gets sick of it or we run out of ammo. I'm thinking we won't stay beyond 2 PM. There's also a Picnic area if we want to do a BBQ or bring Pizzas from in town.
I will be bringing my weapons obviously but if you have weapons and ammo you're more than welcome to! There are some restrictions on what calibers are allowed at the range so check the link below for the range's webpage. If you don't have a weapon you are welcome to shoot my weapons and I'm sure other shackers aren't scrooges with theirs if they bring them.
If you are bringing your own weapons list them here as well and their calibers.
The Range will be located at the Los Altos Gun & Rod Range. Range Fee is $14 per person and they sell ammunition at the range as well. I believe they take credit card there as well but I'll have to confirm later.

A lunch following the Range Shoot is also planned but details TBD.

We’re back, and only a week late this time! This episode kicks off with discussion of Playstation 3’s impressive install base in Europe, several publishers pulling out of this year’s E3 and one out of the ESA trade organization, and the controversial DRM solution announced for Spore and the upcoming PC version of Mass Effect.
We follow up those news briefs with a lengthy discussion of what we’ve been playing, the game that we haven’t been able to stop playing for days on end: Catan.

So I opened up my Grill the first time this season to do some cleaning, and I noticed that my grates are starting to rust. WTF? Is that "normal?" I'd think something that was designed to stay outside through all 4 seasons wouldn't rust after 2 years.
Is there anything I can do, or do I just need to go get some replacement grates now?

GREASEMONKEY SCRIPT AHOY!
Evening Repost Edition
I am pleased to present to you my latest offering: Shack New Comments Marker
If you're like me, you refresh the Shack often. Very often. And if you're even more like me, it can be a little annoying not knowing exactly which comments are new since you last refresh. The whiter comments feature helps a little but each thread can have a different number of new replies and without skimming every bright post you can't tell which are actually new. I also find it difficult to tell when I have scrolled down to the point at which there are no new comments at all since my last refresh.
So as you might imagine, this script fixes that. Every time you refresh the chatty, every new post made since your last refresh will be indicated by a handy blue marker:
http://www.apartment167.com/overload/greasemonkey/shacknewcommentsmarker/Shacknewcomments.png
As you can see, it fits in naturally to the Shack design.
In addition, if an entire thread is new, the root post will be indicated by having a blue speech icon instead of the normal gray:
http://www.apartment167.com/overload/greasemonkey/shacknewcommentsmarker/Shacknewthread.png
And finally, the area at the top of the page that says how many threads there are will also say how many new posts there are:
http://www.apartment167.com/overload/greasemonkey/shacknewcommentsmarker/Shacknewcommentscount.png
The indicators also work when refreshing a single thread.
Get it here!

It goes as far as you need a specific dvd drive with the right firmware in order to even make an image of the disc? I'm not looking to pirate anything, I just am feeling curious.
