Player 1 runs at 1080P (16:9)
Player 2 runs at 1920 x 1200 (16:10)
Does player 2 have a SLIGHT advanated due to additional horizontal pixels? I think YES but need the SHACK to confirm and discuss.

Basically, a statistical study of the relationship between considering certain books as "favourites" and SAT scores.
Books like "The Colour Purple", "Fahrenheit 451" and "The Holy Bible" are associated with lower SAT scores (~850-900) while "Lolita", "The Alchemist", "Freakonomics" and "Atlas Shrugged" are associated with higher SAT scores.

We pushed another dev channel update mainly for two fixes:
* I fixed the mouse wheel scroll to scroll a lot more, yay.
* We fixed the regression where new tabs didn't have the address bar focused.

I'm playing FEAR 2 and it has a "press space to begin" and "Saving content, don't turn off your computer"
yeah, like I'm going to pull the plug from my PSU right now. WTF, is it that hard to change these little things for the PC?

It's Vista, but good.
I'm also glad to report that FUCKING RETARDED 'feature' which caused wireless lag spikes every 60 seconds in Vista is history.

At the 32 second mark in this video of Britney doing her Circus show last night in Tampa, you can clearly hear her say, "My pussy is hanging out". Um, "hanging"? Really? Yikes. So it’s true. Having kids does that. Jesus, you might as well set off firecrackers up in there. There's no way that could be any worse. Let's hope she doesn’t have another kid, or she’ll have to walk around with one of those bucket bags strapped between her legs like the horses in Central Park, so the kid doesn’t just fall right out of her and get dragged along the ground.
Ummm...

Ultima Online. Now, don't get me wrong, the music in this game was for the most part pulled from past Ultima Games which was good stuff, but for some reason I decided to swap it out. (Ultima Online stored all of its music in a set of MIDI files in a directory conveniently called "music" so it was a piece of cake to swap out whatever songs you wanted.)
I swapped out some of the battle music with Final Fantasy VII battle music and even one of the ambient travelling songs with the FF7 overworld song. Some other travelling music I replaced with a MIDI rendition of the FF4 overworld music. The dungeon music I replaced with the song "Snake" from Duke Nukem 3D. It all just seemed to fit so well.
