http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1883_eruption_of_Krakatoa
the sound of Krakatoa's destruction is the loudest sound in recorded history, reaching levels of 180 dBSPL 100 miles (160 km) away.
That means, 100 miles away, the sound was approximately 100,000 times louder than the loudest rock concert ever.
The town of Merak was destroyed by a 46 metre-high tsunami.
A wave as tall as a 15 story building. Unreal.

They have a new video on the Stoked site... can't wait to play this tonight. Really slick you can fly anywhere on the mountains. Always hated running into those annoying invisible walls in other Snowboarding games.

Mine is PointlesS and I'm playing this fucking thing all night long. I miss games that allow 110 fov. It's so glorious.

So, I get a letter in the mail yesterday saying that the terms on my mastercard are changing, my interest rate is going up 10 percentage points due to the economic conditions and my usage patterns. Now, I use my card fairly often, but I've only not paid off the entire balance before getting charged interest maybe twice, and those times I paid the card off before the next billing cycle. So, it seems to me that credit card companies make the majority of their money on finance charges. Knowing that I always pay off my card each month already, increasing my interest rate is going to do nothing but reinforce that behavior. If they wanted to make money off of me, it seems to me that they would be better off upping my limit and lowering the interest rate so that I'd be more inclined to carry a balance and thus pay them interest. Tell me how my reasoning is wrong and how I'm not substantially smarter than Capital One.

59.99 for DoW2? That comes in at just under $100 in roobux. I can get the same game with a box and a manual for that price.
You'd think with all of the extra, costly shit being taken out of the equasion (manuals and the like) we'd get some kind of discounted price on this.
Guess i'll be holding out until the first price drop.

I'm looking to delete the contents out of a folder say once a week using windows task scheduler dealy. I know how to clear out separate files, but have no clue how to clear out folders.
For instance, C:\iKon\docsend\scanned\usernames
Essentially, I want to clear everything out of "scanned" while keeping in tact the "scanned" directory. RMDIR will delete the "scanned" directory.
TIA!

Tomorrow's baking project: pina colada cupcakes and the recipe requires the use of real rum. I'll likely make about 50. For those adverse to the use of fruit or rum in their cupcakes ... I also ordered 30 chocolate cheater cupcakes from Sam's Club with chocolate buttercream frosting.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oacwmzgexrI - Korean commentary, but it's a short game; one of the few times I've ever seen a pro attempt to 5pool another pro. Supposedly the soundproof boxes here were broken and Casy (T) heard a cheer from the crowd early on and figured out what Savior (Z) was doing. See how things turn out.

This epic Jaedong vs. Iris game was the kickoff to the 2007 ShinHan Proleague finals. The game is good, and the excitement of the Korean commentators makes it that much better.
