Is there something the Shack can do about this, or is this one of the joys of using Ads by Google?

Here's the beginning and the end of the review:
The story is too generic and lightweight, the performances too self-conscious, and the humor too pithy to cite this as a role model of rebooting ala "Batman Begins" and "Casino Royale." Yet like those films, full credit has to be given to the filmmakers for successfully striking the right balance of reverence and renewal.
After the painfully stilted "Star Wars" prequels and the last few lackluster 'Trek' films, this 'Trek' at last brings back a sense of fun adventure to the space epic which has not really been seen since the 80's.
I'm excited about the movie, not because it's set in Star Trek universe, which I don't care about, but because it looks like a fun sci-fi movie.

1) Waaay too easy, even on the harder difficulty
2) Hardly any depth
3) DOTA is 100 times better and its a freakin MOD for another game!
4) Uninstalled.
Anyone else agree?

Right so I got kicked from a versus pub last night. Because I got upset at a retarded teammate that I had to keep rescuing. He would always be behind us and caught. Like see us running but continue to pick off zombies that weren't a threat. Eventually I asked why the fuck he was always so far behind and he said "I'm chillin".
Anyway I got annoyed after this idiot startled the witch (which I rescued him from) and sighed into my mic. He replied "It's only a game". I replied "Well I like to win games". Apparently he doesn't and started the vote against me.
I'm pretty competitive and I enjoy multiplayer games for that reason. I always aim to win, when my team is sucking I try harder. Juat got so fucking annoyed with this guy that he wasn't even trying and ruining my experience and then has the gall to vote me off.
So shack are you casual I don't give a fuck players or like me is your enjoyment directly tied to how well you are playing as a team or individual?

So I'm looking at buying my first (used) car. I live in North Dakota so I am thinking about an AWD sedan. My budget is around $10k.
I've been looking online and so far have found 2008 Ford Taurus (or possibly Ford Five Hundred though they have a smaller engine) AWD or a 2002-03 Jaguar X-Type. I've seen both for around 10-11k with 50-60k miles.
Anyone have any advice? Thanks

Anyone here good with jQuery ?
If I have:
<div id="myItem"><a href="index.html>blah</a><div id="hidden_data">HELLO WORLD!</div></div>
and we assume $(this) = #myItem, how exactly do I just obtain #hidden_data?
I tried $(this).$('hidden_data").html() with no success?
ty in advance! :)

I have a windows XP pro hard drive that was installed on a NF4 system. I removed the hard drive and converted the NF4 system to a Windows home server. Can I take the XP pro hard drive and just plug it into a new computer and off I go or will it require a wipe and re-install of the OS? The system I am trying to get it working on is a nf2 system and it gets about halfway into the boot process and then restarts. I had a feeling it was due to the Sata drive but I tried it on a different system at work and I didn't have any luck.
I should at least be able to get into safe mode correct?
