Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Aug 21, 2008 6:00pm PDTSo apparently society is such that now where if we dont catch enough people
doping at the Olympics, the
assumption is that the testing is flawed. Certainly not that just less
people are doping.

great editing.
so your "new improved" graphics system can't handle separate drivers for different monitors? (ie an ati add-in card and nivida onboard, which i bought for dual screen VM + single screen windows goodness)
XP could do it.
fuck you vista.
In the ass.
Now i have to either:
- Buy a nvidia add-in card (more money, plus time to install new card and also sell card on ebay)
- Wipe this vista installation and install XP (lots of time lost)
- Wipe this vista installation and install ubuntu and try to get it working for these cards and not have windows at all, which i am tempted to do cause i fucking hate ms at this point. Unfortunately the sun will die and engulf the earth before i get that working.
This is for a work machine, so time = $$$ for my bosses

Here for short term memory folks http://www.shacknews.com/laryn.x?id=17550793#itemanchor_17550793
Well, to give everyone here an update she has agreed to take some counseling in which she has done. Another issue has surfaced though...lastnight we were talking about our problems from how little time we get on weekdays for eachother and ourselves. She expressed that she doesn't feel wanted and that I don't want her. I don't give her the attention and affection she requires. I'm not a cold hearted man by any means. I do show affection, but maybe not in the sense of say "movie affection". I don't give her enough flowers or massage her back well enough, ect. So after some talking about this topic we were trying to figure out why and I told her that I am not attracted to her sexually for some reason. I don't know why I feel this way about her and the more I think about it the longer it seems I have had this feeling. I don't think I can pinpoint why or how. Maybe it's a collection of things. In my mind I think it's because she lacks the physical features that turns me on. I'm not trying to be an asshole and I don't tell her these thoughts because that would be mean.
I don't think her and I have sexual chemistry which I think is important. I can think of women I have slept with and I could have sex with them anytime and anyday, but with my current woman I don't feel that and I don't know why. Maybe I like my women a little crazy in the bedroom and slutty. Nice C-DD sized boobs bouncing in my face with a tight ass and defined legs. Or maybe I'm not meant to marry this woman.

My 3rd generation iPod (classic) with the four buttons above the wheel also had a twitchy wheel. Twitchy not physically but as in super sensitive to the touch. You'd put your thumb on the wheel and it would start scrolling up/down like spazzing. Made accurate song selection and volume control a test of patience. Actually that was my first iPod and I thought all iPods were that twitchy until I got my first nano.

What ringtone/sound do you guys use? I've had Sigur Rós - Glósóli but now it annoys me after waking up to it everyday for the past few years. I want to pick something different but not something that I like because I will grow to hate it in a few years.

A) Do you commit to one title and play it until you are done and move to the next?
B) Or do you have multiple games going and just sort of piddle with them and fail to finish most of them?
C) Or do you commit to one while having a few more casual type games for when you just cant concentrate enough on your main game?
I'm mainly C, I tried A but I'd get to the point where I loathed being stuck to just one game, or get to a hard segment and just avoid it and watch TV shows instead.
