  1. That trade blows my mind. They've basically gutted their team for the next 3 years. I cant help but seeing it as cutting off your nose to spite your face.
  2. Quit whining, we have a stimulus to pay for.
  3. ^Huh, you guys are only five hours ahead of Chicago, how is that possible? Im set to GMT -6 and you are East of the UK. Weird.

    TV: Heroes

    Kinda meh episode last night but at least it didnt have Hiro in it. It just felt like the entire episode was filler that didnt advance the plot one iota. How the hell did whats his name know
  5. ^Whew, dumped some coin there. Beautiful system!
  6. I finally got around to starting a Death Knight on WoW. Played on and off over the last four days and leveled it to 60. The starting area was fun but just at the last quest where you learn how DK's were severed from the service of the Litch King, I somehow stumbled into the middle of someone else doing the quest and only got to see the last third of the explanation. As this is my first foray in melee, Im not really sure how to properly control the DK and get an optimal rotation. Im also absolutely positive that I screwed the pooch on the talent distribution. The were just coming at me so fast (at one point you complete 2 quests and have SIX talens to spend!) I didnt really have time to study the skill trees and just would up pouring most of them into Frost. Its a cool class though, very very hard to die and I can easily handle a four mob of equal-to-slightly-higher level opponents. Kinda having a bit of culture shock not playing my mage. You non-mage chumps actually have to pay for food and take mundane transportation!? Ug, it drives me nuts.

    I agree. That's what torrents are for. That's called piracy, but I guess if you are morally bankrupt, go right ahead. That sense of entitlement you have must be justified in some way. I think the best way to avoid commercials is to get a Tivo. Would torrenting a television show really be pirating? The show itself is freely broadcast on television so thats not where the stations make money (which is made in selling advertising on the show) and its not taking money from the producers as they are already paid by the networks. So, who loses in torrenting a television show?
  8. Interesting, I didnt know that. I mean, I knew there was a difference between sugar in fruit and table sugar you would spoon into coffee but I didnt know apple juice has different sugar then apples alone. TBH, I cant rightly understand how thats the case.
  9. I will be the dissenting voice wrt fruit juices. They are ridiculously high in sugar (and no, not even "natural" sugar is "good" for you. The unused sugars will get converted to fat and stored by your body) and carbohydrates. I have in my hand right now a 10oz containers of Veryfine grape juice and look at these stats: Carbohydrates: 47g (Thats 16% of your DAILY intake in one drink!) Sugar: 47g Sodium: 30mg You want to lose weight? Drink water.
  10. Off topic and having nothing to do with a Sci-Fi show, the Toba catastrophe theory proposes that the low level of variation we see today in human DNA was due to the preceding event reducing the human population to 1000-10000 breeding pairs.
  11. Here is a monster thread on CQC, complete with some of the dev's chiming in on why that style was chosen.
  12. Iirc, it was stated by one of the developers that they chose that style primarily because it "looks cool". Meaning, CQC was always intended to be in the game and they also wanted one thats fun/looks good. In that case your going to want to avoid the trailer that has MT and some bad guy about two feet away from each other going all full auto on each other.
  13. Im going to assume thats a typo and you dont in fact weigh
  14. Ive only actually finished 5 games: Duke Nukem, Crusader, Diablo, Dungeon Keeper, BG2 + TOB Games I didnt finish: Zork (and all the rest of the C64 games) Doom Heretic Hexen Rise of the Triad Crusader 2 Baldurs Gate Diablo 2 + Expansions IWD 2 Dungeon Keeper 2 NWN 2 And probobly lots more that Ive forgotten.
  15. This is going to sound crazy but hear me out. I have a theory that weight gain/loss has less to do with what you eat and more to do with your metabolism. Ive always been tall and skinny (6'3" / 197 lb) but for a while there in my early thirties I started to gain weight and eventually topped out at 230 lbs. About a year of 5-days-a-week working out with weights and running and basically being on the Atkins diet and I dropped to a lean, mean, 192 lbs. Fast forward now 5 years or so of not working out at all and eating everything that doesnt get out of my way fast enough and I still maintain a range of 194-198 lbs. Whats different? IMO, as my body started to age my metabolism started to slow and that years worth of working out jump started my metabolism back to a previous level. Either that or I have tapeworms.
  16. Man, Im glad Im so sexy the women just come to me. I kid, Im married and am so far out of practice I probably couldnt pick up a girl in a whorehouse with a fistfull of 100 dollar bills. And yes, theyre all crazy.
  17. I think a typical break heals in 6 weeks. Ive never actually broken a bone so Im not sure on that.
  18. Wizards are scions of arcane magic. Wizards tap the true power that permeates the cosmos, research esoteric rituals that can alter time and space, and hurl balls of fire that incinerate massed foes. Wizards wield spells the way warriors brandish swords. Magic lured you into its grasp, and now you seek to master it in turn. You could be a bespectacled sage searching for dusty tomes in forgotten sepulchers, a scarred war mage plying foes with fireballs and foul language in equal measure, a disgruntled apprentice who absconded with your master's spellbooks, an eladrin upholding the magical tradition of your race, or even a power-hungry student of magic who might do anything to learn a new spell. A cloak of spells enfolds you, ancient rituals bolster your senses, and runed implements of your craft hang from your belt. Effervescing arcane lore pulses through your consciousness, a constant pressure craving release. When will you know enough magic to storm the ramparts of reality itself?
  19. I never get the annual flu shot and I never get the flu. I very rarely even get sick but when I do its a doozy.
  20. Cool video. Lol, I hope what you see MT do around the 4 minute mark isnt the sneak animation. Apparently if you slightly hunch over nobody will hear you running up behind them.
  21. IIRC, most laptops use a modular design for their optical readers in case you ever want to swap out a CD/DVD for say a 3.5" drive. You should be able to flip the laptop over and somewhere near the slot for the drive should be a release switch that will allow you to slide out the drive in one piece. At that point you will see a sticker on the drive with the manufacturer and part number so all you have to do is call Gateway if you want the exact thing again or simply cross reference that part on the intertube.

    He could never pull it off.
  23. Yeah, I was just happy to see Iron Man 2 and Spiderman 4 still on schedule. Captain American and Thor are of slight interest and The Avengers not at all.
  24. Arent the responces timed too? Meaning you have to respond in seconds?
