Morning Squidussion, Eh?
by Alice O'Connor, Jul 01, 2009 5:00am PDTToday is of course the holiday of Canada Day, commemorating the event of Canada and Britain pulling together to break up, swearing we would always remain best of friends.
A special Canuckian cephalopod fact is that the humble humboldt squid--feared for its toothed tentacles, tendency to attack divers, and cooperative hunting--has been spotted dotted along the Canadian Pacific coast in recent years. You lucky ducks you!

I made a post on this stuff yesterday but was at work so couldn't respond to the replies at all so I am this morning. Here are all the links and such I've come up with that have helped me out so far. It really helps doing the Ct5k to have a podcast that tells you when to do the intervals and that was key in me getting it done because it took the confusion out of the timing. Also you don't need special shoes for Nike+, just a shoe pouch as far forward and flat on your laces as possible.

Ups: Huge airs, crash mode, stunt runs, open road feeling
Downs: I suck at racing, still don't understand how to pull aerial 180s or barrel rolls intentionally after launching, the overhead map is useless, DJ Atomica DIAF, god forbid my kid sees those cute toy trucks because I will buy them for him but I would rather buy something like surf island, no package deals for all the extras. Lastly, there seem to be so many cool little places to pull over and check out but its not GTA and the parkiig lots are blocked :(
Noobtips: Tell me what I should try to do to improve racing, stunts and which extras are worthy pleae.

Windows 7's best feature is the Snipping Tool. Very easy to use, and let's you take a screenshot of whatever size you want. Works with movies too.

I have vague memories of a DOS game I used to play, I think it had something to do with flying a plane. The thing that really sticks out in my memory is that when you died, you were given a rank like "Gamma Greenhorn", or "Beta Beginner" based on how many levels you beat.
Also, I believe it used CGA graphics.

We've been divorced for 5 years so her getting married really doesn't bother me. The fact that he's a recovering drug addict does though. She keeps "reminding" me that he's been clean for 2 years and has a good relationship with god.....
The awesome part? We got divorced basically because she said she always pictured herself with a more "spiritual man" and I smoked. This dude just quit smoking because she asked him to before they dated. Uggh. I just reminded her I won guns and he'd be wise to make sure he doesn't duck with my 3 boys.

So, I've been running build 7068 since I built my computer around 4 months ago. I just heard about this beta shutdown business today, and as I'm not at my home computer right now I can't verify if mine is beginning the two-hourly shutdowns, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. I want to upgrade to the RC as it is free until March of next year, however....I don't have an external hard drive, so backing up my music/save games/documents will be kind of a pain.
Basically, what I want to know, is how risky is it to just do the 'upgrade' option on Windows install discs rather than doing a clean install involving a complete format. Anyone have any personal experience?

I don't have a problem with people writing new things for characters but i do have a problem with people taking a classic story and adding in their own new twist to it.
Wolverine for example is getting the weapon x storyline hacked up with some mastermind behind the scenes his ENTIRE LIFE. All this comes after his memories were entirely restored a few years back.
Steve Rogers is somehow coming back after getting a bullet through the head.
The ultimate books were great in their retelling and reworking of stories, but now they've left those in the hands of Loeb and he's cleaned house with a cliche finale series for the universe so he can do a reboot of everything under his guidance.

"The US military says about 4,000 marines as well as 650 Afghan troops are involved, supported by US warplanes.
Brigadier General Larry Nicholson, said this operation was different because of its "massive size" and speed.
Officers on the ground said it was the largest marine offensive since Vietnam. "
Shit just got real.

Best feature? The new system tray. Not very different, but how it breaks things down into categories and stuff is a world of difference. I'm curious what other Windows 7 changes Shackers have enjoyed, maybe pointing out stuff I haven't even noticed yet.
That said, this could have been a service pack.

I got the SE stick recently and currently I am getting frustrated learning to use it. It has the turbo functionalty which I tried in a match vs FoxHawk and it works online as well. But I am guessing its not kosher to use turbo in Ranked / Tournament matches? Or are people ok with it?

GM management has noticed the continuing high trading volume in GM's common stock at prices in excess of $1. GM management continues to remind investors of its strong belief that there will be no value for the common stockholders in the bankruptcy liquidation process, even under the most optimistic of scenarios. Stockholders of a company in chapter 11 generally receive value only if all claims of the company's secured and unsecured creditors are fully satisfied. In this case, GM management strongly believes all such claims will not be fully satisfied, leading to its conclusion that GM common stock will have no value.

The thing holding back PS2 emulation is the GPU. The PS3 models with "software emulation" still had the GPU from the PS2 doing the graphics work. This is what sony needs to emulate in order to make PS2 games playable on ALL PS3 models.
Also, Warcraft 3's CD was jam packed with low res but good FMV, will SC2 ship on a single 8.4gb DVD - I mentioned this the other day, I mean the FMV in 720p that Blizz produces now is huge, that video of the space marine being built for the SC2 announcement is 500mb alone for 3 minutes.
So perhaps it'll be on 2 DVD's or 3.
