    I have to say regardless of the other games you try .. give Shaiya a go. I have been playing it for just over a month and love it. Met some great people and helped form a Guild. Not everyone has that experience but all I can say is you get what you put out here :) Anyway hope to see you...

    My boss one time fixed a hard drive that just by chance he had another waiting to be recycled (was an old one) and the problem was a small electronic part that he took off the old one and put on the clients. I was amazed he even knew that tiny little part was the problem. Usually an electronic...

    Ron Paul's Counter-Strike Server

    While I don't play Counter Strike I do play NWN (which has lots of persistent worlds and guilds) and thanks to Torch I now play Shaiya which is a terrific game by the way. I also put my request for a teckie/geek/gamer sub-forum. Please Josh :o :)

    Digg: Rep. David Price, Did you actually read the PATRIOT Act?

    If you are worried about it just right click on the link, select Copy Link Location then open another tab and paste it in. Takes seconds and you don't have to worry about any possible referral issues.

    That's great. I run across so many people that are afraid of their computers and when they get a new one they seem to forget half the things they learned which is silly since MOST of the time functions and terminology is basically the same. It's almost like their language comprehension and...

    Wow well I guess so. I have used Ubuntu since Dapper Dan and never had a problem with anything I wanted to do .. that's not to say I do much but I watch youtube & google video's, do the forum thing, the news thing, IMAP email. I get all the normal updates when they are available but don't...

    In my experience, hibernation (sleep etc.) is not handled well by Microsoft. Turn that off completely, especially if you have a desktop (applies to notebooks also). Just turn your computer off at night when you are done, monitor too. Also make sure you are doing your disk maintenance...

    Comedian George Carlin dies

    My best friend (who idolizes George) and I were lucky enough to meet him in 99 when a book of his came out. Forget the name of it. Anyway he was such a unique person. Should all give us the courage to speak the truth as we see it. Perhaps not as "colorfully" as he did but he sure did say it...
