Morning Discussion
by Alice O'Connor, Aug 12, 2009 3:45am PDTI had the most delicious meal last night, with two squid courses. Quick-fried squid with peppercorn salt for starters, followed by squid in satay sauce with mushroom fried rice.
Those squid are now a part of me forever. Their proteins are within me, sustaining me, becoming me. You cannot truly love anything if you do not know it in every single way.

I am trying to pull data off my friends hard drive with no luck. I took his hard drive out of his PC and installed it on my machine (Win XP). The 20Gb drive can be seen in the bios and also win XP sees the drive under Disk management as a healthy NTSF 20Gb hard drive. The drive did not get a drive letter assigned and all the options are grayed out. I have done this 100's of times for other people this exact same way with no trouble. Why is this drive not getting a letter assigned? What am I doing wrong?
The old 20Gb drive had a HAL.DLL file can not be found or is corrupt error on boot up. i have reinstalled this file and rebuilt the bios.ini file and its still not booting. I decided to just take the drive out, copy his data, and reinstall his Win XP. The 20Gb drive works and I was using recovery console to access it just fine.
Thanks in advance.

I login to my other gmail account and i recieve an invite "welcome to league of legends beta"
the link takes me to a sign up page, so it looks like its valid. The only issue though, is that my previous beta invite included a separate key to use while this email does not. It does take you to the registration page..
So i dont know if it will work or not but ill give it to a shacker. Ill check back at 6:30 pst and random choose someone who replied. Just remember it may not work so QQ.

So last night i tried our mr. portal ult elephant Behemoth.
I was so bad, so terribly bad, that i decided not to pick him for a while (well not until the next SD).
Seriously, i did just about everything wrong. Wrong fissure timing. Wrong fissure direction (trapping near dead teammates is lol). Wrong portal + ult timing. Wrong ult (1 target close).
Bah.

It turns out I installed the drivers for my Creative Labs soundcard which has an autoupdater. Well, they put the string "Creative AutoUpdate v1.40.01" in my user agent, which has the letters "pda" in it. This causes me to be redirected to mobile sites.
TLDR: Fuck creative labs.

I've had a bit more time to play with this phone and I love it (it's only my 2nd ever cell phone, replaced a RAZR). It really functions like a pocket computer and has already changed how I do things when I'm away from home. Several of the default apps are pretty great and I look forward to more coming out. That said, I do have a few small concerns.
1. Hardware - I don't have any problem with the sliding mechanism. It opens and closes with a satisfying feel and sound, but when it's closed there's a slight wiggle. Like if I were to lay the phone flat on a desk you can "yaw" the top portion over the bottom portion. It's only like a half millimeter movement but it's there. Hopefully it's not an indication of future wear and tear.
2. Web browser - Mostly it does exactly what I want it to, but occasionally pages will "load" but nothing is displayed, or I'll have to swipe my finger all around the screen to find where it hid the content "off screen" somewhere. Happens often enough to be fairly annoying.
3. Media player - with movies and music, the media player is too basic. There's only play/pause, and forward/back on tracks. Several times I've been listening to a podcast and needed to pause for some reason and accidentally click on another file or something and have to start the podcast all over again. Quite frustrating when it's like a 90-minute podcast, but as far as I can tell there's no ability to fast-forward or track directly to a certain point in a file. It's just play or don't play.
Still, it's an awesome device. The way it integrates so many things is amazing and I'm still figuring it all out (app cards are sweet). I also got the Touchstone charging device to keep on my desk at work and although it's a bit pricey I really like it. The phone sits on it very securely (enough that I can flip it open and type) and the Touchstone itself is slightly sticky on the bottom so it sits securely on the desk. It's a nice item.

After my jeans are done air-drying..... I'm driving up to the gaylord to pick you fucking homosexuals up to go drink and party. Do you understand me....... fucking faggots!!!!?????? We are going to go karaoke.
Shackmessage me your cellphone numbers. If you already have my cellphone number, call or text me. I'm going to be at the gaylord for no longer than 30 minutes. If we have to take several cars I'll just pay for a taxi bus or some shit. You cannot go if you are under the age of 21

I had full coverage in FL w/ State Farm, Liability $100K/$300K, No Fault, $100 Comprehensive deductible, $250 deductible collision, Uninsured $100K/$300K. It was costing me $598 every six months. I went into a local agent and they switched my policy to Virginia, and I get the same, even better (Liability now at $300K/$750K) for $403 every six months. Close to at least $400 a year in savings! Holy shit I was floored. And I got a free Thermos! WOO!
