Has anyone run into an I/O Error when building a new system or installing Vista for the first time?
0xc000000e9
Info: An unexpected I/O error has occurred.
Google doesn't turn up too much in the way of results, but I'm curious if anyone has run into this before. It's a new build and all new components, so I'm not recycling stuff. Anyone seen this before?

Gabe Newell, Valve.....pretty awesome games and he looks terrible but his reason for looking terrible is he doesn't care about appearance and more about making great games

Ted Price, Insomniac Games.... games are okay and some people would say really good but most of their games are mild and generic. I've noticed it's only getting worse as time goes with them to maybe because they are too focused on other areas of life?
Look at video, most of the Insomniac game developers are in good shape http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9a5jqHKlgCY

Jade Raymond, popular game I can't even remember the name of because It was pretty bland and repetitive...very good looking and follows the trend of an okay game but could be better if more attention was placed on making games

tldr: fox owns the rights to Watchmen, not Warner Brothers. This means the movie might end up in Fox's shit stained fingers. Here comes a pg13, happy ending, teenified version of the Watchmen folks!

I know I did. Imagine my surprise when, after all the gifts were opened, my mom says 'hang on a sec', goes back to her room, and comes back with a long wrapped box. She hands it to me, and it's quite heavy. I open it up and inside is an AK-47 with 2 magazines and 120 rounds of ammo.
Needless to say, I was shocked as shit.

My Board/boots/bindings are a couple years old, but still very relevant imo:
Atomic Alibi board: Super light and strong bi-directional freestyle board. I should probably rent an
all mountain board for Breckenridge or buy a new one. Save my board for the terrain parks.
Flow Pro S Fs bindings: Seems like some people think flow bindings suck, but my bindings are nice
and flexible, awesomely easy in and out, and most importantly they don't ever cut off my circulation
(like burton bindings)
Thirty Two boots: Warm and amazingly light. If you've never picked up a pair, you'll be impressed.
They are like lifting feathers compared to some of the other boots I've owned.
Burton AK shell: Windproof and water proof. Used it in -20 degree weather without freezing my ass
off.
I'm also curious to hear everyone's comments on Burton's newer binding mount design on their boards and some of the newer equipment to come out. And what ever happened to that crazy Libtech board that had the strange sidecut that was really wavy?

How often do you find yourself iterating over a given design? You design a program/user interface, meaning you think you have a picture in your head of how it should work (maybe even mockups or whatever), then you start implementing and you realize you have to change things, or do them differently or whatever... I always try to get all my "design" stuff done before I start implementing, or at least I think I have it done and I'll figure out some details later, but invariably I have to change things around a couple of times once I have a half-working thing.

This is your President, John Cornchak Eden, and I'd like to have a chat, if you have the time.
I am in the market for an HD Video Recorder and I was wondering if you guys have any suggestions. I want one that records to flash media, has replacable batteries and takes memory cards and that is about it.
The cheap ones on Amazon (in the ~$200 range) all have reviews that talk about pretty bad screen shake and weird, super-zoomed-in FOV.
Have any of you used any of these newfangled gadgets? Which ones do you like?

I was wondering if you'd be kind enough to give me some feedback on this music of mine.

If you could, listen preferably to Bust a Fuck or Mushroom Kingdom...they're the two I've worked on most. Thank you guys!
The input is truly appreciated.

Is there any payoff to taking Michele out on a million dates? At the end of the dates I keep getting a thumbs up or whatever but even then it seems really repetitive and kind of annoying now.

iD or Unreal pack? Explain your answer in a tiny sentence, if you could. My woman loves FPS games and proclaims "I love killing things" which is awesome in its own right, but leaves me confused as to which one she'll like better.

So the shutter on my 300D gave out last night.
I'm trying so hard to convince myself that I'll be just fine with a 50D instead of the 5D MkII.
I'm going to get the 70-200 F4 L IS and a battery grip right away. I haven't done enough research on the wide angle lenses to make a purchase there yet, I'll just have to make do with the 18-55 EF-S from the 300D kit for now I guess.
Any of you guys shot with the 50D and the new 5D? I know both will be an amazing improvement on the 300D I had...
I think I might start trying to do some stuff on the side to make a little extra cash to fund my addiction... some people are already offering me money to photograph stuff just based on the work I've done so far. I suppose the 50D will be such a jump for me right now that I should just forget the 5D since it's another freaking $1600 and they're sold out everywhere anyway. Not to mention I already have an HF-100 for 1080p HD video.

i gotta say, it's ironic. for a movie about not wasting time, it was certainly REALLY long and REALLY boring. i mean, they took a premise that was fairly uninteresting to begin with, inserted completely one-dimensional characters and generic period settings.
none of the characters changed. there was no conflict. how does this have a fresh tomato rating?
