I thought Icewind Dale was sucky. And I love Drizzt.

Tool > A Perfect Circle

And now I have two Mindless Self Indulgence albums, and although they're catchy and amusing, I don't listen to them that often.

Probably because then the songs never leave my head.

Every friday night at 10! Program your tivo, or pc if applicable! Of course you can also find episodes at your finer torrent sites. The writing is spectacular!

Trigun is a disgrace on anime in my opinion, I havent really watched FMA, but Cowboy Bebob and Inuyasha are amazing animes, Inuyahsa being the better of the two for its intense action and romance.

The good thing about having a 50 year old is that he might not be a racist/sexist/whatever old codger who is afraid of the changes in the world and just wants those annoying homosexuals to stop being on his television!

The bad thing is that whatever agenda this guy wants to promote other than just upholding the constitution and the other laws of the land, he'll be a supreme court judge for about 70 more years!

Also, since he doesn't have one foot in the grave like the other judges, he's more likely to try and stop those pesky scientists from saving people with stem cell research.

I have tickets to go to London at the end of September....this isn't a good thing for me....

*bump*?

Chekan Winter is the best song on there, hands down.

But that's old news.

StarCraft rocks.

I play it because I suck at WarCraft III.

And because it rocks.

Can't wait til StarCraft: Ghost comes out, but I've been waiting for that for about three years.

Someone needs to learn to RTFM

DESCRIPTION
There are two concepts of `link' in Unix, usually called hard link and soft link. A hard link is just a name
for a file. (And a file can have several names. It is deleted from disk only when the last name is removed.
The number of names is given by ls(1). There is no such thing as an `original' name: all names have the same
status. Usually, but not necessarily, all names of a file are found in the filesystem that also contains its
data.)

A soft link (or symbolic link, or symlink) is an entirely different animal: it is a small special file that
contains a pathname. Thus, soft links can point at files on different filesystems (possibly NFS mounted from
different machines), and need not point to actually existing files. When accessed (with the open(2) or stat(2)
system calls), a reference to a symlink is replaced by the operating system kernel with a reference to the file
named by the path name. (However, with rm(1) and unlink(2) the link itself is removed, not the file it points
to. There are special system calls lstat(2) and readlink(2) that read the status of a symlink and the filename
it points to. For various other system calls there is some uncertainty and variation between operating systems
as to whether the operation acts on the symlink itself, or on the file pointed to.)

ln makes links between files. By default, it makes hard links; with the -s option, it makes symbolic (or
`soft') links.

If only one file is given, it links that file into the current directory, that is, creates a link to that file
in the current directory, with name equal to (the last component of) the name of that file. (This is a GNU
extension.) Otherwise, if the last argument names an existing directory, ln will create links to each men-
tioned source file in that directory, with a name equal to (the last component of) the name of that source
file. (But see the description of the --no-dereference option below.) Otherwise, if only two files are given,
it creates a link named dest to the file source. It is an error if the last argument is not a directory and
more than two files are given.

By default, ln does not remove existing files or existing symbolic links. (Thus, it can be used for locking
purposes: it will succeed only if dest did not exist already.) But it can be forced to do so with the option
-f.

On existing implementations, if it is at all possible to make a hard link to a directory, this may be done by
the superuser only. POSIX forbids the system call link(2) and the utility ln to make hard links to directories
(but does not forbid hard links to cross filesystem boundaries).

Speicher said this was not surprising as the specifications for HD-DVD, one of the next-generation DVD standards being pushed by the US-based DVD Forum, called for HDCP. "Blu-ray (the opposing next-gen DVD standard) will probably follow suit," he said.

HDCP is a new type of DVI connector that is for copy protection. I think I stand by every consumer when I say 'Fuck You' to Microsoft and all the MPAA and RIAA of the world.

I can't believe our stupid friggin border patrol let this maniac into our country..what a disgrace we are....we deserve to be terorized and attacked..we are IDIOTS!!!

Updated Systems.

Make sure to edit yours and post if you don't have any: »http://www.aseville.com/systems.php

They couldn't do that. It would make sense. Seriously, though, one standard is a good thing. Now people don't have to worry about compatibility problems or anything as much.

For the computer talk side .

Hardware and Software Discussions will be renamed to drop the 'Discussion' part out and will be placed in a category called 'Computer Stuff'.

Hardware will have some subforums including "Guts" (CPUs, Motherboards, etc), "Cases & Mods", "Cooling & Overclocking".

Software will have "OSes", "Security & Spyware", "Programming".

Comments welcome. I want to refrain from adding too many forums at once because the post counts will be low.

I'll be posting at least one news post in the morning and one at night to keep up with the changing world.

I may even start to try to look for gaming news as well. Does anyone want to help out with news ?

Not! Look at the attachment to this picture.

That's a big pocket pc. Just remember that the system has a Serive Tag entered .

Women who have their first child by caesarean section are less likely to become pregnant again than those who give birth naturally, and also take longer to conceive, a new study suggests.

There's nothing wrong with "taking longer to conceive".

WOW!..All that and it was your SB Live Card(Value)...I had the same sort of issues with an SBLive card..stay away from them...junk!

VALUE= You get what you pay for.

A lot of people care. It could answer a lot of questions, religious and not.

Really? What questions? Where we came from? Where we are going? C'mon...be realistic.
Is this another "big bang" theory developing? I don't think so.

Do you remember Planet X?
http://xfacts.com/x2.htm

Back in the 80's there was "Discovery" of a planet beyond Pluto. They(NASA, whoever) could not figure out what it was.
Basically it ended up being a cluster of asteroids together that appeared to be a planet...well. How many dollars were lost and how much knowledge was gained? BAH!

I laugh at science. Most science these days is based on theories and ideas..well goodie gumdrops..let's see some hard core science news, let's see a cure for cancer or a cure for the friggin common cold, not some hokey pokey BS about another friggin planet.

This kind of crap will continue long after you and I are gone from THIS planet..and do you thing it will make a difference? Really? It won't.

In these cases, IMO I agree with the old saing..."Curiosity killed the cat"

I reviewed a HIS version of the 9550: »http://www.aselabs.com/articles.php?id=131

They usually come with a rather small heatsink and fan combo. Most graphics cards do nowadays.

Yeah, like I'm REALLY looking forward to buying another entire gaming system just to play Miyamoto's games. GRRR...

In late September, 2005, the WB channel will be airing Edited episodes of South Park, if you can believe that.

Long time no see 'Cakes.

I'm on every other day of the week, except weekends, and it is not because I have anything better to do it is simply that my parents have the weekends off and they monopolize the computer.

Serial ATA is catching up to SCSI, fast.

NCQ/TCQ, the 2nd generation speed increase... Serial ATA is looking good.

Besides, with one drive there is hardly a difference, except price.

Glad to see soemone is being productive around here...tee-hee

I was annoyed that you couldn't send a PM to someone that sent you a PM in one click, now you can in the view pm area by clicking the (PM) link by the name.
