What the hell is that? I have ftw installed exactly as it was posted -- all I changed were my keybinds. So what do I do to keep from getting booted/banned? It might be relevent: this was a ctf+ map with a huge base and a couple apc's just sitting on the roof, ready for use. I spawned, started...

This show was fantastic. It's about this family in Turkey where 5 siblings walk on all fours; it is excellently conceived, produced and narrated. The scientific focus is on the genetic evolution of distinctly human traits like speech, bipedalism and brainsize, and there is also a remarkable...

Sling! It's easy but fun, although the times on hard mode are often pretty challenging. The cut scenes are pretty cool too.

Man, Sundin's got some go. Played like a champ tonight. Ever since the Olympics last year he's been on a tear... Most of the defensive zone coverage has been pretty good -- esp with Kubina, so I look forward to him gettin back. Raycroft looks like a star. If only the breakout passes would...

State of Denial Slate. I know. It's partisan. But Bob Woodward isn't.

Link It has a larger selection than has been posted before. I wonder if they made more than 57 of them... Anyway, #15 is quite funny...

I'm weary of downloading unknown crap from random google hits to "free ftp client" so i seek advice from those who know. cute-ftp has a 30 day free trial, but I want something I don't have to worry about and that I don't have to pirate. Suggestions are appreciated...

Link I am so frustrated at the moratorium on federally funded embryonic stem cell research that I cannot even formulate the relevant arguments -- they're all so plainly common sense that I refuse to argue with people who reject them. And yet so much seems to hang on our nation's ability to...

http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=us&q=bill+gates In 2 years, he will stop being the "chief software architect" etc and will remain "only" as chairman and advisor. He wants more time to devote to things like global education and health via B&M Gates Foundation. Good for him. We need more...

I was watching Canadian representatives debate with the Canadian Prime Minister. They were discussing extending Canada's commitment in Afghanistan by 2 years. Harper kept saying: I was wondering if this reasoning makes sense to anyone. You are sent into battle. Some years later, your...

4 goals, 2 assists in the 6-5 OT win against Florida tonight. 18 points in the last 9 games. With Tampa losing, Toronto is now 5 points out. Man I wish I coulda seen this game. I can only get the internet shoutcast in Seattle. Joe Nieuwendyk also got a hat trick. Whatta game.

I know a lot of you have laptops. I just bought one for the first time, and after lugging around a briefcase-like case for a week, I've decided I need a backpack. I checked a few backpacks around and found that most of them that are advertised for a 17'' laptop really squeeze the top corners...

I've read reviews, but they all say "crisp base, natural sound" bullshit that means nothing to me. I've gone to stores and listened. But shit, I just can't come up with any compelling reason to buy one over the other. Anyone got suggestions? Is Boston Accoustics PV700 a good choice? I can get a...

I'm running an 866mhz/256mb PIII right now, and looking to upgrade for ~1k. I don't know what works well and what just sounds like it works well, but after brief research I became interested in the following. I'd really appreciate some tech savvy opinions. This has nothing to do with epinis. I...
