Stuff related to my "experimentation" work.
First of all, the movie was o.k. The special effects were pretty awesome, and the action seens were o.k., although sometimes they were too fast to see what really happened. The plot, however, was questionable and unsatisfactory. Too much talking, he didn't get the girl, he was never told about the plot to make him hurt, etc. Too many loose ends. Did the girl ever get cured? We don't know. Did the blond fail class? we don't know. How could the explosive devices only scar the face of Harry, but completely...
This is great--Gore doesn't seem to be very inspired by his own propaganda. I guess he's using all of that electricity keeping the internet running . .
This is in response to a comment about my last post. I expected something revolutionary and significantly better than what was currently on the market. Microsoft consistently does this with other applications. Sql Server is, in my opinion, FAR superior to Oracle and MySql. .net kick’s Java’s behind. Visual Studio is so far ahead of the competition that using anything else is painful. For those of you that live and die by Eclipse, VS 2005 is clearly a superior product. The XBOX 360 is also much better...
O.K.--so I got a shiny core duo 2 from dell the other day, and have vista loaded onto it. The performance thingy rates me as a 3.5 (because of the video card), and says I should be able to enjoy all of the snazzy new features of Vista.I start to tinker, and soon find that the Aero stuff is really only skin deep--as soon as you go into any of the dialog boxes for more advanced stuff (like the system dialog boxes, the "advanced properties" of the display, etc), you quickly find that this is just XP...
This news story is laughable. Why can't Sony stop the spin? Comparing 1 million Talladega Nights movies that were packaged with the PS3 to 60,000 HD DVD movies that were actually SOLD is really not the same thing. People don't, in general, buy the PS3 because it's a Blue Ray player. Sheesh! Additionally, he doesn't know how many games they have or how many they will have in short order? I would think that's a key focus of his, since with no games, nobody wants to buy a ps3. Finally, news.com is so...
So after the delays associated with storms in Denver, the missing boards (two to be precise) were finally delivered. The remaining set up was a snap (they included the right screws and everything) and I had the table together in about 15 to 20 minutes. The table and chairs are wonderful! My wife especially likes them. The chairs are unusual--they're wooden, but when you sit in them, they are so comfortable that you could sit in them for hours and not get sore. We were very surprised by that. The...
Well, the table and chairs arrived when expected. There was a problem, however, the table was missing the mounting pieces for the pedistals to mount to the table. I'm not sure how this happened. Everything was wrapped so that you could have dropped a truck on it and it would have been fine. They said that they would have the parts shipped to us before Christmas, but the blizzard in Denver, which grounded a lot of planes, fouled us up, so we're supposed to receive them today...
So far so good! After a couple of months of waiting, our table is set to arrive tomorrow; just in time for Christmas! My wife is very excited. I'll post how the delivery goes here and my final recommendation on countryside cabinetry
I used to be a staunch Republican, starting from the time that I was old enough to care until probably the end of the first Bush term, I supported them, even gave them money. That's all changed now. I didn't vote for Bush the second time, and I haven't voted Republican the last two elections. I'm still a conservative, but the Republicans are no longer conservatives. Here's why: Not only is the Homeland Security Department the largest expansion of the government ever, something the "Republicans" are...
Just tried out the windows live image search. Wow! It's far better than google's image search. The scratchpad is a great idea--I can't tell you how many times I've wanted something like that. Viewing the image AND keeping your last search up is also a great feature. If you haven't tried it, you should, its really good
