    Yeah... thanks for that. My ample manhood just became an innie. I'm going to have nightmares now. Hope you're happy. >:(

    PC Gaming = World of Suck

    My god! It's full of BOOBS! Seriously? This is either some kind of game that involves CG girls running around on a beach, or it's the world's most perfect jiggle-factor simulator. If it's the latter, I'd say that it's a computing achievement at least as great as simulating weather patterns or...

    [NEWS] - Sony Blue Laser Drive

    I'm sure it "can" read movies. Ones that aren't encrypted. Which, at this point, would be BR-DVD pr0n. And you'd need a player application. PowerDVD probably won't cut it.

    Here's a fun and hilarious article on how American elections are fixed. And it doesn't even involve Diebold voting machines!

    Sounds like a Solution series case, kind of, but I can't recall seeing one with the metal bar in question.

    On what do you base that statement, time? More on the subject of atheist evangelism.

    Antec *&^#$##$!! case rant

    Actually... I guess the P180 could be a power-supply problem child, depending on the size and type of motherboard involved. But the metal bracket on it unscrews independently of anything else in the case, IIRC, and nothing in it is riveted.

    Antec *&^#$##$!! case rant

    That doesn't sound like any Antec Case I'm familiar with. Was it an extra-tiny microATX or something? I know the P150 and the P180 and the Solution series and the NSK series and the Sonata and the Aria and the Performance series, and most of them are among the easiest cases there are to work...

    What's the advantage of Sharepoint over just sticking things in a Shared folder someplace and using a real CMS for non-MSOffice content (e.g. Joomla)? I know of about a dozen ways to do what it does without installing some other dumbass product on my server... The folks in my office are all...

    My latest OKCupid story. OKCupid matches people by their scores on a series of tests. Only people above 75% compatible are considered a match.

    Anyone know anything about Sharepoint? The Microsoft Product page is remarkably free of content or information other than "business 2.0"-buzzword crap. I know it has something to do with sharing MS Office documents on the web. Anyone know more than that?

    OK. Complaint #2: I liked the Close Tab button better on the end of the Tab bar. I'm sure someone will come along and fix it back to the way it used to be, but IMO moving that particular UI element around is just stupid. It's no longer possible to quickly close tabs with the pointer. That sucks.

    I'm running 2.0 (no RC, full FF2.0) now. At least some mirrors have it today. My only complaint at the moment is that the Session Saver extension doesn't work with it.

    Sol, you need to track down and watch the most recent two episodes of BSG. The three episodes of season three leading up to the most recent have been what I would call the extended foreplay leading up to a HOLY SHIT OH MY GOD OH MY GOD YES YES YES climax.

    Internet safety for parents

    Earlier in the week I had a conversation with the parent of a 13 year old girl. She asked me how she could be sure her little darling/hellion was being safe on the internet. I got the impression that her idea of what "safe" was meant an internet that ended at disney.com, but just the same, it's...

    Hard Drive Configuration Ponderings

    I don't think of 250GB as a large enough amount of contiguous space to use for any kind of data dump. I'd probably make the two drives into some kind of volume for trivial data like internet downloads, movie files or mp3s - stuff that really DOESN'T need to be backed up. My massed spaces are...

    Porn, porn, classical (porn) music, porn, comics, and porn. Yes. Those things. I'm looking for some kind of non-sucky-to-install Tracker software. I see a lot of things that look annoying to install and a lot of things that are easy but also buggy and broken.

    There are instructions for installing multiple versions of IE on the same PC floating around... But as far as I'm concerned that's like screwing different people to get multiple versions of herpes. IE7 broke my company's web site. I suggested that we put a large "Get Firefox now you fucking...

    IsoHunt is just a site that indexes multiple torrent trackers. I spend quite a bit of time on Demonoid.com, which is members-only and used to be invite only. That's the kind of model I'm thinking of.

    You would use my tracker to host the .torrent file you create. The upstream bandwidth would be your own to give up. I'll have to look into actually doing this.

    Best movie you've seen

    13 Episodes. 1 movie. 66 pages of a comic book that happens chronologically in between. It shows Shepard Book being taken to that planet and deals with the fate of the guys with blue gloves, among other things. Whedon has said that there are no plans for right now to continue Firefly.

    PC Gaming = World of Suck

    I still think Starforce is worse. My default position for PC games is now "Buy the boxed copy if I really like it, but play the pirate/cracked version." They're doing everything they can to ruin gaming on PCs. It's really just that simple.

    As someone who leaves firefox open pretty much constantly between version upgrades without any difficulties, Allpeers has had a decidedly negative effect on my browser's stability.

    Just thought I'd note that Newegg.com has Lite-On SATA optical drives. CD-ROM and DVD-ROM drives. No burners as of yet, but since they're the first SATA optical drives I've noticed from a non-Plextor source, I thought it might be worth a post. Link
