Morning Discussion
by Chris Faylor, Apr 23, 2009 4:30am PDTAs Thursday dawns, I have to ask myself ...it is Thursday, right? Just making sure.
It's been an eventful week, so I may have lost track of the days for a little bit there. In fact, that might be one of the reasons I specify the day in each Morning Discussion post.
I have no idea what surprises or secrets today may hold, but Nick's BioShock 2 preview was a nice way to start the day. Now, if we can only get more mutton chop news...

There will be meats cooked on the new grill (yay a grill) video games, movies and booze. Think of it as practice for the next party you go to.

It still functions fine, plays music and charges, but can this be repaired? It seems every time I hear of something breaking it's a whole new phone that needs to be purchased.

Podcast reviewing iPhone games: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tta7XJE8-Ew
They only have the one episode at the moment but they promise to do one each week.
I'll be keeping an eye on them seeing as I never buy games on the app store simply because I don't know wtf to get.

I think it's a load of shit. My gut reaction (gladwell would be proud) was major dislike of the dentist and suspicion he was after my wallet. It felt like a sales job rather than actual medical advice. I won't be going back.
All that said, is this stuff actually a new modern field of dentistry or what?

600 rounds of delinked Argentinian 7.62x51 and 300 rounds of Radway Green 7.62x51.
The RG is on strippers and in bandos and looks really nice. Good ammo, I was really surprised to find it. .68 cents per round though :/

there's something cathartic about it - knowing no matter what, you will die, but before you do, you get to destroy, detonate, ignite and headshot as many zombies, boomers, smokers, hunters and tanks as possible. And its quick - I like that most games are going to take less than 10 minutes (say 15 with set up on some maps). Did I mention it is fun too?

This game has such potential, I remember playing it a while back and was just amazed at the scale of the world and the number of players in a battle.
I wish they would update the graphics, I love the scale of this game. Thinking about getting back into it.
Any WW II ONLINE players?

I thought that these online battles could only get more epic and the scale would only rise...
We kind of stopped at 64 didn't we? If i'm honest, I'd trade better graphics for the pure larger scale and more epic battles anyday. Surely they could have focused more on getting more players into the fray and still improved the visuals a little, maybe enlarge maps slightly? but no, most companies focused more on visuals and left the gameplay in the backseat, in my opinion..
I used to play BF1942 thinking "imagine the fun we could have with 100 players, nay 1000! all on the same battlefield, each playing a part in the final outcome.."
I'm still waiting :(

Wow, what an awesome fun time last night! I have to admit, I love Shackers. You guys are a freaking blast! What we ran last night, was very nicely done *AND* we had some great humor and discussions in the down time between!
Fantastic!!!!
ALSO, some more big news but I'm not sure if it's public or not, so I'll let management make that call.
I'M HARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a 10 second audio clip that I need to mix with a song.
We are sending out save the date invitations for our wedding that are talk to you magnets. Kinda like the talk to you cards that you get for birthday gifts and such
Would anyone direct me to a place where I can get such a program for free or tell me where I can find it in windows vista.
Also, I'd be willing to throw a few bucks through paypal at someone if they would just do it for me.
Thanks,
ConanDan and Red Sonya

I'm building http://www.circuitstoday.com/9-v-regulator-using-7809
Everything before C1 is supposedly taken care of by the transformer in the wall plug I have, so I only need to worry about C1 on.
My question is, do all the things get wired in essentially one trace per side?
So, C1+ connects to C2+ and IC 1 Pin 1, C3+ connects to IC Pin 3 and the output? In two traces?
C1- connects to C2-. IC 1 Pin 2, C3- and output? All in essentially one trace down the board?
Pictures would help, I'm a noob.
