by Chris Faylor, Sep 17, 2008 4:25am PDT"What's this? A new chatty? Oh, Faylor, you're so good to us!" Now, now, no need to thank me. I'm just doing my job.
So, ever since that Guitar Hero World Tour interview yesterday, I've had David Bowie and Queen's "Under Pressure" stuck in my head. Of course, it's one of the few songs that Neversoft couldn't actually get for the game. Stupid missing master tracks.
Speaking of games, I do hope you've managed to check out Peggle 2 for the latest in ball-bouncing awesomeness. There's a free demo, you know!
And I do hope everyone out there is enjoying the sudden flood of quality PC games. The Witcher Enhanced Edition just showed up at my place, Warhammer Online officially launches tomorrow, Crysis Warhead is at retailers, and I hear S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky has finally made it out as well. Now I just need the time to play them all.

I'm looking at my debt account right now and Apple has authorized my account for the following funds:
$17.44
$1.00
$450.91
$1.00
What gives? None of those even add up to my actual total from Apple. Kinda annoying, since technically they are holding almost $20 that isn't theirs. no $20 isn't going to make or break me but it is still $20.

Does HL2 Ep 1 have more character interaction that HL2?
I didn't really like HL2 as it felt there wasn't enough story compared to HL1(which was totally awesome)
I am going to be updating at some point tonight I think. But that's not the point of this post.
I got a lot of positive reviews for my product review article for the KY Yours and Mine lube. I want to do another product review soon but I'm not quite sure what to do it on. I was thinking about trying that Semenex stuff that supposedly makes cum taste like jellybeans and sunshine.
Any ideas of products you'd like to see reviewed? Include links if possible.

Ok seriously? There are protectors compatible with only IPHONE 2G or IPHONE 3G and not both? Isn't it the hardware that just advanced a bit?
Or wait? Is the 3G a lot slimmer than the 2G one I have?

does anyone have any idea what could cause my cable internet to slow up dramatically? i went from getting 7+mbps yesterday and early this morning to 475kbps (speedtest.net) all afternoon/evening.
i have run virus scans and spyware scans which revealed my machine is clean as a whistle, as always. i have had some rather large downloads recently but nothing over a few gig, maybe a 20 gig in total this month. this has lead to a 250+ ping in my fps games, and 500ish or more in WoW, making my games unplayable.
anyone have any ideas?

But since these are 2 branches on the same git repo I can just merge the changes into the forked version everytime I edit the actionscript right? NO, because .fla is a fucking BINARY FORMAT and can't be merged.

i have about 90 mp3's that are NOT in sequential order but are numbered. even if a bunch of MP3's are sorted by track number, they will play in the sequential order of the filename. whose the brilliant cock mouth who allowed this to happen?
unless they think some utter misanthrope wants to listen to an audiobook in random order. why would you download an audio book and listen to it out of order? hey guys let's use Applonian logic and un-alphabetize the dictionary. who can I call to make sure this happens?

What's a good tool to copy large number of files over to another machine, and keep them updated... this means on a sebsequent copy, it should only copy files that has changed.
Apparently none of the built-in Windows tools can do this(explore, copy.exe, xcopy.exe, etc)
Grr...

I'm trying to setup my old PC to send for my niece to use. It's fairly outdated but still has its use. Its a AM 2500+, A7N8X Deluxe, 1gig.
I cannot for the life of me install windows XP on the damn thing. It just cannot find the hard drive which is a SATA 160gig WD (WD1600AAJS). The drive is new. I have had SATA drives on this computer in the past. I have the SATA drivers on floppy and slipstreamed onto the disc itself The bios will find the disk but windows will not.
