by Chris Faylor, Mar 31, 2009 4:30am PDTDon't Stop Believin'. Rock Band DLC. Xbox 360. Now. PlayStation 3? Thursday.
I'm afraid anything else I write will just be a thinly veiled reference to my juke box favorite, so I'll just take the midnight train going anywhere leave you all with a fresh chatty and remind you that some are born to sing the blues wish you a satisfactory Tuesday.
By the by, Journey's tune isn't the only classic to hit Rock Band today. Benatar's "Heartbreaker" and Von Bondies' "C'Mon C'Mon" made the cut, and some others. Thanks to mancide for the reminder, make sure you hold on to that feeeeeeling.

EVE last night! Exciting action for members of Photon Ventures Inc as we had some can flippers show up in a mining op. 3 of us were running a level 4 mission, so we abandoned that to defend our comrades. Rhene ended up tracking down one of the flippers and engaged in a slight melee, and one of our young pilots foolishly--YET HEROICALLY--defended Rhene and got his ship blown up by Concord. The rest of us decided to form a small convoy around the flipper to keep him from smartbombing Rhene, allowing our comrade his escape. There was some standoff and targeting going on until we all got bored and went back to our Level 4 missions, killing many a rat and earning loads of ISK, as well as gaining tons of ore for the corp. Lots of fun guys, looking forward to it again tomorrow.
Now on to other things. As mancide has said before, I've taken over the helpmewithmygameproblems.com project, sorta taking it in my own direction but still maintaining a wiki for it. I'd really appreciate if people wanted to start creating and editing articles about their favorite games, hints, walkthroughs, guides, whatever. All are appreciated. Right now the layout is pretty basic (and we're still in need of a logo, but that's beyond my meager skills) but functional and mancide helped me with setting up advertisements and so forth, so I feel comfortable asking for the shack to contribute at this point. All suggestions are welcome as well. Thanks shack. http://www.helpmewithmygameproblems.com

I am a power user of Quicken. I have years of perfectly categorized transactions in Quicken. I would sooner shoot myself than see "reconcile correction" as a transaction; everything balances perfectly.
However, the program is clunky and non-portable. And it doesn't do enough things automatically that I would like it to do.
So, I am considering a change. Everyone says good things about Mint but I want to know if it's good for Power Users. I already know it's great for casual and simple money management.

A few weeks ago, my computer started to get random reboots. I started seeing a pattern when I thought the ram was being taxed too much (watching a streaming video, ripping/converting audio/video files, etc). At first I thought it was a power problem, but I d/l memtest and ran it. Memtest would die on me and reboot my machine in 5 seconds. I took out one of the 2gb sticks (4gb total) out of my system, memtest runs just fine. Individually, both ram sticks complete memtest runs flawlessly, in any of the four slots I have on my mobo.
Background info:
GIGABYTE GA-MA770-UD3, AMD Phenom X4 9850, either 4gb (2x 2gb) ddr2 1066 or 4gb (2x 2gb) ddr2 800 (doesn't matter, same results), GF 9800gt.
Has anyone else had this random rebooting before? I'm thinking right now it's the on-die memory controller from the cpu itself considering that the ram runs just fine, no errors in any of the four slots. Anyone else have similar experiences?

anyone have any experience making fake blood? i followed a fairly easy recipe that called for 1 cup corn syrup, 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup and 20 drops of red food coloring. it looks ok, but it's just not that realistic looking when it dries. just thinking out loud, if i add some drops of blue coloring, will that make it nice and dark?

ok, so i don't really know why i'm posting this here. but does anyone have any experience or knowledge about depression? like how do i go about getting help? can i go into any hospital? or is there a specialist or something that i can talk to. also, i have heard a lot of mad mojo about medications and mood adjusting drugs, is this all taboo or is there something to it? cause well, i don't wanna be medicated, just thinking that there might be something else i can do. *serious post please no jokes =(* this has been an issue for me for about 5-7 years... just wasn't ready to come to grips with it i guess.

NEVER buy an HP printer. First their service is awful, they don't call you back, they all speak in comically incomprehensible accents (seriously, I can deal with Dell's people, HP's are barely speaking english), their tech support was shut down for an entire day while dealing with this, they have no service or repair options, and if you're printer is 4 days out of warranty when you first call in they refuse to honor the warranty.

So, it appears that my video card on my laptop is on death's doorstep, which means I get to take it in for repairs. Anyone here ever had to have a video card on a laptop fixed/replaced, I'm trying to figure out what I should be expecting to pay. I'm sure it'll be expensive, whatever it is.

A PC loaded with Vista ultimate will not boot to the desktop anymore. I get the vista jingle, the welcome screen that stays there longer than it normally does, and then the screen just goes black. I still have a functioning mouse cursor, but can't do anything. I can press ctrl+alt+del to shutdown or goto the task manager, but nothing else.
If I boot into safe mode, same thing happens. Any ideas?

I love life but im falling into this hole of a loss of desire to do anything, i cant be bothered going out or talking to friends anymore, just seems like a huge chore and id rather sit at home and do nothing.
only a year ago i was out every weekend riding the bike, getting fit and socialising.
Yet some days i feel good, like maybe once a week. I eat well and i'm fit.
Do i have depression?
