by Alice O'Connor, Apr 15, 2010 5:00am PDTThat's the end of Xbox Live for Microsoft's monster original console, then. Well. Kind of. Giant Bomb's Xboxalypse live streaming farewell party was still going strong at 4:17am PST when they finally turned in for the night. What a jolly prank this all is.
Here, have some Ultra Monsters art to ease that grody feeling of being deceived.

The "Immortal Soul Clause" was added as part of an attempt to highlight how few customers read the terms and conditions of an online sale. GameStation claims that 88 percent of customers did not read the clause, which gives legal ownership of the customer's soul over to the UK-based games retailer.
The remaining 12 percent of customers however did notice the clause and clicked the relevant opt-out box, netting themselves a £5 GBP gift voucher in the process. "

Is there any underhand devious way to force a desktop printer to over ride a empty ink error? My magenta ink cartridge is empty but all the others are half full, and i'm just trying to make a couple of B&W prints, but its forcing me to go buy a 40 Euro set of carts in order to get the prints done.
Just in the off chance i thought i'd ask if anyone knew of some underground printer hacking scene that had found a way to get round this problem. such a pain in the ass :(

I usually dislike the live version of anything. If I click thumbs-down on the live version will it know it can still play the album version? :(

Knowing Rockstar, there will probably be a lot of really great nods and homages to old Western films and hopefully Zane Grey novels as well. This next month for me will be spent watching Westerns.

Fake manufacturer pdf's to make people talk to their office printers. Anyway, it never worked, no one talked to them.
Today I walk past the printer, and I'm being asked why the voice commands don't work. Incredulously, I tell them I put them up for April Fool's Day.... two weeks ago. They only JUST noticed them today.
Bright bunch here.

I downed the 2-2 demon lastnight. I honestly didn't think I was going to be able to the way he raped me the first few tries. But I did. Also I killed that stupid Red Eye Knight from yesterday. Anyways after I killed the 2-2 Demon all there is is a stairwell down with a ton of messages saying be wary and all that. Is there just another demon through the fog at the bottom of the gate or what? I was too chicken to go down there so I tried out 3-1 instead.

I've got a section in my document where I refer to a previous chapter and page number. It's something like "Please refer to the section entitled 'Editing and Installing Host Services' in the Local Setup chapter on Page 9."
Is there any way for me to create a wildcard or something in that sentence where the page number will change if the section moves to a different page during further editing?

All hail the Mediocre Middle. Once again, I am told by H&R Block that I make too much to qualifiy for these catagory of deductions, and don't have enough assets to quality for those deductions. Whatever the Fed game me, the State was happy to relieve me of.
I'm already doing the employer-matched 401k, which I can contribute more to, and I can start a Roth IRA although a decent CD would probably provide better returns. Owning real estate isn't going to happen in the next 5 years. I'm seriously considering starting a small business and itemizing for next year.

According to 3dr's George B., Tom Hall had a stroke late yesterday and is presently in the hospital (no other news since about 12hr ago). http://twitter.com/georgeb3dr/status/12206959685
If you don't know who Tom Hall is, you have probably played at least one of his games that he primarily designed - Commander Keen, Rise of the Triad, or Anachronox - or know games from teh companies that he was significantly involved with, including id, 3DRealms, and Ion Storm. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Hall

I switched from ultimatedroid over to jrummy yesterday. I didn't bother wiping data/cache and so far I haven't had any problems. I used Rom Manager to do the whole flash procedure. Love it so much..
Thanks for the recommendation hashd
Jrummy is pretty snappy especially with JIT enabled.

We don't have armies, we have volcanoes.
And the ability to control them to erupt after being threatened by economic voes imposed by ex-empires - but we just didn't tell you that part.
My parents' computer has been infected, I ran Avast before booting and was able to delete 4 viruses. On an additional scan with Avast, Malware and Spybot I didn't find anything. However, whatever the virus altered has remained.
The main issue is the firewall, whatever settings it added, I cannot get rid of. The issues include not being able to get an internet connection with IE, but Firefox works fine, not being able to add attachments in GMail in Firefox, and not being able to connect to update servers for certain programs, while others work fine (Steam will connect and update but Adobe won't).
I disabled the Windows firewall (I am running Windows XP), but the issues still persisted, no matter if I turned it off, on or on highest security. Any suggestions as to what it altered to cause this and if it can be fixed?
