Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Dec 04, 2008 6:00pm PSTI wonder when the last time a game launched with a major bug that a developer actually
admitted "ok this bug sucks and breaks the game for a lot of people" instead of
that panzy ass "a select few gamers" stuff.

It's the time of year to start naming your favorite albums of 2008 and I will start us off. I included links to either track or videos from the 10 albums I name so I strongly encourage you to check out some samples and expose yourself to some music you (possibly) might not have otherwise heard.

Looks like I will be in town on Saturday for just a lil bit. IKEA in Frisco is calling to me. I need to extend my desk and add some storage to my office. The plan is to leave with the wife ~ 5a. Factoring in preggo bladder stops (tm), we should be at IKEA by 11:30ish. It normally takes us an hour + to go through the top part of IKEA.
So, we should be good for a late lunch if there is anyone available in that area. I hear people are flocking to Dallas left and right so maybe, just maybe. I know that area is constantly growing / changing so I'm open for suggestions on unique, omfg you have to eat at _____ suggestions too. The wife loves mongolian bbq, but google maps tells me the nearest one from IKEA is 16 miles away in Plano by Collin Creek Mall. I would prefer to stay in Frisco so it isn't 11p by the time we get home but if the preggo lady says Mongolian BBQ, by fucking damn it, Mongolian BBQ it shall be (because no fucking way I'm riding home 6 hours with a car full of flat pack furniture and a pissed off wife).

Frog used to say "The hero, I am not. I can do naught" and I thought that was a great line. Now he says "I'm not the hero. There is naught I can do". How is that supposed to be better? The original line had more feeling. I've seen a few other examples too, but I'm waiting before I pass complete judgement. Little things like Crono's element changing to "Light" versus Lightning kind of irk me, because I don't understand why it was changed. Everything else was an element, why would it be light?
I don't know square. I don't understand your translators anymore. It's almost like they say "Fuck, new port new translation." without any specific reason. FFIV was re translated 3 times so you tell me....

We have been using HP personal inkjet printers at work for a long time, but I've noticed the quality of the hardware has taken a huge nose-dive; we replace a printer every couple months.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to another brand (and model) of personal, color printer (and/or AIO) that they're happy with? I have been looking at both Epson and Brother, but personal experiences would help me a lot.
I really want to get away from the HP juggernaut because I'm tired of buying new printers every day.
Thanks.

My biggest complain with compact cameras is that 99% of them are mostly fully automatic. They are just point and click and they suck. There are a few that are fully manual though. I love my Ricoh GR Digital 2. The low light ISO quality on it is terrible, but other than that it's awesome. It's fixed-length lens(so it can't zoom in or out) and it shoots 1:1 aspect ratio (you can change it but i never do). It's fully manual and tiny. I can fit it in my pocket (not my tight flathead jeans though :( )
Here are a few shots i've taken recently:

It is easy. To most of those people who lost their jobs, give them jobs at the unemployment office so when people who do not have jobs need the help of the unemployment office they can actually get it. I remember when I was trying to call the unemployment office a few months ago, all day long the phone would ring and then eventually would say "all staff is busy please try again at a later time". Well they opened up at 8:00 am and I called the next morning at 7:59 and tried to get in early and they said "the office hours are 8:00 am - 6:00 pm, please call back during normal business hours." I then hung hup and called right back and sure enough I got the "all staff is busy please try again at a later time" message. Talking about frustrating. Also, there is not a local office for me to just go down to and talk to them, it all had to be done over the phone.
Yes I know you can do it over the internet, but they suspended my unemployment b/c I said that I had started going back to school at night and they thought that it would interfere with my job search. I could not appeal online, only on the phone.

when I press the power button my new build it powers on for a second then turns off, then on then off ad nausem without posting. I confirmed the power supply and case switch are working properly. The only thing I can't check are the CPU and mobo. Anybody know if newegg will let me RMA both as DOA? or should I just pick one? If I have to pick one I think I'll go with CPU since it's the more costly if I get stuck holding the bag and the mobo dose flow power to the fans and case lights.
