i'll be doing a few things there, none of which involve carrying servers.
mostly what you would expect, short term is helping out on marketing and longer term really fun stuff is business development side.
i'm sure the next question is what the job title is. so my title actually has vice president in it, but really its not like titles mean much in the industry. it mostly just means i have to take 2 separate elevators to get to my office every day instead of 1. not sure that is worth it.

I die every checkpoint. Every single checkpoint. There needs to be a training room for this game so I can practice not falling 400 stories or not fucking up my timing on disarming "blues". Also can you only disarm when the gun is flashing red? Because damnit I want to punch a guy and immediately disarm him.
Pointers appreciated. Also I hate the cutscenes' crappy anime style, and wish they had taken a cue from Half-Life and kept 'em in-engine.

At work I was telling my boss about a small prank I played on my friend's PC, setting her wallpaper to some picture of two chicks kissing (not even any nudity, I was very nice and chose a tasteful pic) while she was gone.
As I was telling the story he had this grimaced look on his face as if he had a mouth full of lemons or something. He then went start talking about (paraphrasing) "man, just the thought of that is disgusting... ugh".
This wasn't the first time either. He had the same reaction when were were watching Firefly episodes (passing time on a weekend during server maintenance) on the episode where Anara kisses the senator lady.

My brother would like to get a SLR for his wife and I figured this would fit the bill. It would be her first SLR so I figure she may be a little bit intimidated by it.
Is this thing easy to learn on or should he look at the d60's?

After beeing invited to a group on facebook called 'Baby P' i did some research about this Baby P and was so disgusted of what i found out.. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/crime/article5140511.ece http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2008/nov/11/baby-p-death http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Baby_P
August 1 2007: Baby P is taken to the child development
centre at St Anne's hospital following two previous cancelled appointments. By this time he is probably suffering from fractured ribs and a broken
back, paralysing him from the waist down.
Also, Pulled of his fingernails? WTF? If i met that stepdad i would stab his fucking face over and over again. Seriously, if my kid ever got hurt by someone else or even worse i would'nt hesitate a second. Fucking people.

Rolling Stone has the first single from "Tinted Windows", a band made up of James Iha from "Smashing Pumpkins", Adam Schlesinger from "Fountains of Wayne", Bun E. Carlos from "Cheap Trick" and Taylor Hanson from "MmmBop" and "MmmBop" remixes. The band was formed when someone at a record label chose random names out of a hat.
I don't even care what it sounds like, three out of the four of those people I would absolutely listen to farting on a drum to make music. The fourth, hey, Cheap Trick did Surrender!
Oh wait I listened to it! http://www.rollingstone.com/blogs/smokingsection/2009/02/tinted-windows.php
IT IS THE BEST THING! HORRAY FOR MUSIC :D

I picked up the P90X Dvds from ebay. I'm going to start on Sunday. I can get all of the equipment for cheap (compared to what they sell). What I don't know about are the recovery drinks and supplements. I'm on a bit of a budget but I know not to get knock-off brands. What should I get?

As the consequences of Lehman start playing out -- problems with money markets, trouble with credit sort of drying up and everything else -- what does this do to the folks in Washington as they're sort of watching this happen? What lessons are they learning from this?
This is DEFCON 4, whatever. This was the complete nightmare. I remember looking at the stress measures on, you know, middle of the day Monday and saying, "Gee, they're looking kind of spiky." And by Wednesday, you'd basically had a complete shutdown of the world capital market. No, this is actually terror. I'm sure that Paulson is sitting there, doesn't strike me as the most reflective guy necessarily, but he must have been sitting there -- everybody was sitting there saying, "My God, we may be presiding over the second Great Depression." This is the utter nightmare of an economic policy-maker. You're sitting there, and you may have just made the decision that destroyed the world. Absolutely terrifying moment.
Something to reflect on after the fact when Lehman brothers failed and what people can learn from it.

Back in London, Peter Carlton, the senior commissioning executive at Film 4, gleefully remembered showing a director’s cut of the film to Warner Bros last June. “It was like showing it to a brick wall,” he said. “They told us afterwards they were thinking of sticking it out on DVD.”

you need to star at the centre of the screen and unfocus your eyes.. after 10 or 15 seconds you'll suddenly feel the motion kick in. stare at it a bit longer, then quickly look at your hand! It should appear to pulse and oscillate for a few seconds.
its pretty crazy
