Stick with this (despite the vacuous song!) as the video takes an unexpected and delightfully surreal twist (or two).-Ampa (March 20, 2010, 08:23 PM)
Probably just when we're needlessly worrying about stuff in our sleep.One of my recurring dreams I have is that my teeth become loose or fall out.
everyone has those -- i have no idea why.-mouser (March 20, 2010, 07:52 PM)
Have you ever had a dream that you can play the guitar effortlessly and produce beautiful music and it happens in your dreams like it just flows out of you without requiring any concentration or planning.. this video made me think of such dreams.-mouser (March 18, 2010, 03:28 PM)
the way to fix the 7-zip file associations problem is run the gui as administrator and set the file associations, then close that instance and you should be set
i ran into that problem myself, it seems that win7 will only let admin set file associations (also affects things such as media player classic)-Krishean (March 18, 2010, 12:14 AM)
Here's the thing though, Ubisoft does it for piracy, EA does it to keep track of your leveling experience and unlocks. Singleplayer (which is arguably more fun in co-op anyways) experience goes towards your Skirmish and Multiplayer leveling, and vice versa. It's actually a smart move since it's more persistent like a standard MMO and cuts down on people who hack to get level 20 and dominate level 3 folks, but of course people complain about the whole "online only".
Does it have SecuROM? No. Do people treat it as such? Yes.-Keerosene
Kids who say "like" in every sentence. I want to stab my ears with pencils.Have to agree with Zaine, though. I can't stand hearing "like' in every sentence, either.-zridling (March 15, 2010, 08:58 PM)-Darwin (March 15, 2010, 11:19 PM)
I didn't find any right away that said that most software runs well on 64-bit though as usual it is more common to find articles about problems than no problems! Since this box is just about four years old now I was planning to either buy a new one sometime in the coming year or possibly rebuild this one.-J-Mac (March 17, 2010, 02:01 PM)
There a was a game wrapped around such concept in its entirety, Dungeon Siege. As expected, letting the game play itself was pretty boring, though part of the blame lies in the game as a whole, as it ends up being not exactly my idea of "fun" if you take a more active role, which is necessary as the AI rarely makes good decisions regarding path finding and enemy targeting.-Lashiec (March 16, 2010, 05:10 PM)
ps.
If anyone wants my copy of Mass Effect 2, i'm willing to send it out; i haven't activated the downloadable content, so that is available as well. US only please, just to save me shipping costs. If more than one person wants it i will send it to a person who has written a coding snack or mini-review.-mouser (March 16, 2010, 05:00 PM)
maybe partition table is broken since Ubuntu also can't read the HDD info in full, try something like TestDisk to view/fix partition headers. most likely there's bad sectors abound, as you've already mentioned.-lanux128 (March 14, 2010, 11:12 PM)
Hard drives are cheap! In fact, I'll have a batch of 500GB drives just sitting around pretty soon as I'm consolidating onto a couple of 2TB drives. So if anyone wants one and can pay shipping...-JavaJones (March 16, 2010, 04:09 PM)
Just out of curiosity - do you really want to trust that hard drive - even if it does successfully format?-40hz (March 15, 2010, 02:11 PM)
I'm running a full scandisk/check disk/whatever on it now. Thanks!
