Morning Discussion
by Chris Faylor, Feb 09, 2009 7:30am PSTA new week has dawned, and this one promises bikini-clad zombie slayers.
As expected, my enjoyment of Burnout Paradise is significantly higher after the latest patch. Hooray for the option to restart an event, instead of driving halfway across the map to try again. I sat down to play for a few minutes and ended up losing a few hours.
However, this will put force me to make a difficult call later in the week. Car crashes or zombie killing? I honestly don't know if I'll be able to decide. Both sound so appealing.

I've now taken a job with a largish legal firm to do all their IT. They mostly recover debts for a living, so at least I know they won't go under.
Anyway thanks for listening, blah. :(

I'm writing a program that has you input an employees name, their hours worked, and pay rate. I have it do some math then it's supposed to output the Name, gross pay, taxes paid, and then their pay amount.
My teacher wants us to use System.out.printf instead of println but if I use printf it puts all my output on the same line. If I use println it looks like it's supposed to. How do you put line breaks using printf?

Weird iPhone error I've been getting, seems recent so I'm going to blame the latest firmware update. Very rarely, when listening to podcasts or musics, the volume will crank itself the max. If you turn it down, it will creep up again over a couple of seconds like a phantom ear-drum hating finger is manipulating the volume slider. A reboot fixes it, but very annoying!

Watching people's reaction as they walked by this statue at the Getty was hilarious. Pity I couldn't ninja any good shots of these reactions :(.

My first victory on Deity (Greek, tech), after probably 15 attempts. I still maintain that there is a fair amount of AI cheating, but at least now I know it's possible - and I didn't even start on my own island.
Very, very pleased :)
Seems like all of their prices have been creeping up since the new year.

When I use a public computer to try and print a Word 2003 document, it automatically starts OneNote and puts borders around my document even though there already are borders. So my document appears tiny in the middle of the paper.
Any way to not use OneNote or get rid of this?

I'm curious how to change the default settings of how windows views stuff in the open/save dialogue windows.
For example - I open up Open Orifice and goto file >> open and the little pop-up window shows me the last directory I opened something from. I want to change the view settings of this from Small Icon or whatever it is to Detailed and sort it by name or date (To be determined at a later date).
How do I go about doing this?
As long as the Survival mode features new maps and doesn't use the already beaten to death original 4 campaigns, I'm excited.

ideally it would be a site with music videos that also credits the director and production house.

I’ve combed their forums and those of their competitors and have settled on THECUS’s brand for NAS. Their video/music/picture/share services seem to be the most stable and well planned. Their UI apparently is simple, but I’m an techie and don’t expect problems.
My Problem, HELP ME JUSTIFY a purchase.
I have 5 PCs in home network, begging for some stable/reliable file server. And an XBOX360, and Verizon Fios TV/internet service with DVR.
I am looking to take advantage of my stable (non-comcast) high speed internet connection and download/purchase movies/TV that the family wants to watch.
I do not have Netflix or anything like that, but not sure that Netflix even works well with a NAS. Sure I can have the DVDs sent to the house and rip them.
Give me some good reasons why a home NAS would be a great investment.

For all those that apartment hunt often, what kind of things do you look out for? Honestly, all I care about is not being able to hear my neighbors. The subtle, yet mind axing sound of a subwoofer drives me fucking crazy. My old apartment I couldn't hear shit but that when my neighbors would listen to MTV Jams till 1am.
I don't know. Would've been cooler if I could use all the infected commoners instead of hl2 citizens, but turns out that gmod hadn't been updated proper since l4d was released so I couldn't. :[
