I've been playing everything on the 360 for so long, I just want to set up some LAN party action for Halloween weekend.
As you know Radula was in the hospital this week for a liver transplant since his = borked.
His old man was a donor and all has gone well fortunately, so good times all round, hopefully he can sink some beer sometime next year (I don't know when you're allowed to live a normal life again)
Anyhow - good stuff and good wishes to him, I'm sure he'll be shacking in no time.
(He's also off work for quite a while for this, so he's totally going to be gaming it up from home for ages while he gets better - sweet)
- your internet penpal and future girlfriend.

My landlords are pretty cool and they have two little ones. I don't have a front door and so I won't be getting trick-or-treaters but I definitely want to get these kids some awesome candy. I'm having a discussion right now with the girlfriend who seems to think that the smaller chocolates and candies are better because you get variety.
She's definitely wrong. The big chocolate bars were always better to get. I know. I was a little boy once now I'm a little girl. Who's with me?

Little help if anyone knows anything about flash programming on the cheap....is there any tool out there for free that you can download to make simple flash things (almost like powerpoints but not so retarded) with some assets built in to help?
Basically I know little about flash but need to put together a training module for my team, and I'd rather not do power point. Would that even be feasible?

Please finish your matches by tomorrow at midnight.
However, it looks like Lunatic Angelic, Deathlove, and myself are probably locked into the next round. mukumuku and ejectorpod are tied for the 4th slot.

I'm going to bump up from 2GB to 4GB of RAM for sure, but I want to knock something else up as well. Here are my options:
Upgrade my CPU from a E6600 to... I dunno. E8400?
Upgrade my Video card from a 8800GT 256MB to a GTX260 of some kind.
Clearly the processor needs a bump but I'm convinced the video card needs to go up first. Opine, please.

I've got about 66 gigs of music. What's the best program for tagging them, and then sorting them by tags.
So far I like the latest winamp (pro) for auto-tagging everything, but jesus, i need things dumped into directories FOR me. Or I'm going to be at this for days.
Thanks guys. Whomever's first to find me the best of apps gets a gift of love.

pc and xbox go into the 2 female holes and the spakers go into the male exit.
When i plug in both pc & xbox, the sound goes very very silent. If i leave either one out, it goes at full force. Do these little joiners split the sound at 50% or smth?

so yeah once again i have left it to the last minute to find something to go as on halloween. there's a pub crawl in d.c and i'm sure i could go normally but i don't feel like listening to OMG UR SUCH A DOWNER Y DIDNT U DRESS UP?!?! from all my friends and every girl i talk to.
anyways. i was going to be young hugh hefner but i don't feel like freezing my balls off all night with a shirtless open pajama robe thing + pipe. i thought about being bond but i don't have a nice black tux and bow tie -- for that i could just walk around with a martini for added bonus.
anyways, suggestions for not too lame but pretty easy to put together costumes? don't worry unless you're in d.c at the m street pub crawl then it's not stealing your idea!

Requirements:
· Support for database user authentication (via ODBC or direct MySQL support)
· Real-time plaintext logging. Some daemons fail on this point since they seems to flush the logs to disk at a pre-set interval.
Alternatively, an event system so I can get notifications when uploads are received.
· Virtual paths.
· Fast. Duh.
· Proper codepage support (as in being able to serve non-ANSI characters in filenames, and serve the listing correctly. I've noticed "Unicode support" doesn't automatically mean this)
· Easy/fast user creation.
Wanted, but not critical:
· Advanced access rights, like RaidenFTPd's ACL files. Uploaders being able to actually delete or modify their uploaded files, but no one elses.
· Implicit SSL support.
· Being able to listen on multiple IPs (both internal and external).
If not, it should be able to run virtual servers, one for each interface.
Tried, but didn't fit the bill:
Serv-U
Gene6
RaidenFTPd (I used to use this for many years, but was fed up with having to reboot it now and then because users became unable to download certain files for no apparent reason)
Bulletproof/BPFTP
Titan FTP (buggy mess. Could never get it to only grant upload rights in my upload dir... it always gave users full rights)
Old, defunct stuff I used to run:
GuildFTPd
ioFTPd
Thanks in advance!

2) there's a fucking guy here at work who when he talks has little white blobs of foamy saliva form at the corners of his mouth and over time i have been increasingly unable to withstand it. i literally hate him now and fantasize about bashing his skull in with a blunt object. he was just in my office and for five minutes i was subjected to the little white foamy blobs being stretched up and down with every word his despicable fucking mouth uttered.
3) i never played fable but fable ii is really fucking enjoyable so far. i hope this keeps up because i played it for several hours last night and had a good time.
4) this is the best time of the year. flounder season is here so i'll be boating every weekend in an effort to put as many of them in a cooler as possible. it's also like 75 degrees outside and sunny every single day.
5) i have invited a dozen local and semi-local shackers to come to my house including rauol, sleepy, dognose, wtf242, and several more and none so far have accepted.
