    Sledgstone reacted to DeathscytheX in The Big Game... you're just not into.   
    So there are many huge game series that are considered to be ones EVERYONE must play. Halo, FF, WoW, MGS, GTA, etc.
    Whats just one of those titles that you really have no desire to play or you just cant get into? You read the great reviews and hear from everyone how awesome it is, but you really just don't care.
    For me its Final Fantasy. I've never been able to get into it, everyone in the world seems to love it except me. I dunno turn based RPGs have never really been appealing to me.

    it started yesterday afternoon, went all night, still going today.
    Tuesday, December 04, 2007
    CONDITIONS:Snow
    High: 25 Low: 20
    TODAY: We're into the lake effect snow business with reports of anywhere from 5 to as much as 20 inches of snow since this event began...and we're not done yet! A general, moist and chilly west to northwest wind flow will continue crossing Lake Ontario for at least another 24-48 hours meaning more lake effect activity, then a general light snow may move in during Friday. Stay warm. Wayne Mahar.
    TONIGHT:Areas of lake effect snow continue, but the primary lake snow bands shift northward to mainly north of the Thruway after Midnight. NEW accumulations of 2-6", especially north of the Thruway.
    Wednesday, December 05, 2007
    CONDITIONS:Snow
    High: 27 Low: 16
    TOMORROW:Lake effect snow and snowshowers will continue, especially for areas near and north of the Thruway. Localized accumulations of another 1-4" are likely.
    TOMORROW NIGHT:Lake effect snow showers and flurries.

    Sledgstone reacted to gokuDX7 in Alliance F2F friend to friend network   
    I was trying it out today. It's actually really really nice for small or even large groups of people.
    To get started all you have to do is download, install it, type in a username you wish to be known by. After that click on the "add friends to my network" button on the top. Click on the "invite a friend" button and it will open your default e-mail. In the e-mail you will see info on how to install and what your "network code" is (the code looks like a hash value. For example h223poasdpo7). When your friend receives the e-mail all they have to do is install the client, click on add friend to network, click on "I have a code I received from my friend", then type it in and you should see your friend on your list and they should see you.
    After adding some friends it works great. I had about 8 people in my network and we where chatting and sending files. The only draw back is sometimes new people wont be able to see your friends even after they click on add new friends to network>"I want to connect to friends of my friends". It's a small bug and has been posted on the programs forums. It looks like it should be fixed in the newer version coming out soon. I found that if people disconnected and connected again they could see everyone.
    Another draw back to the program (but can be fixed) is the way it allows everything to be decentralized. Basically when new people join their name, IP, and some other info is saved to a settings.xml file. Now most people's ips change when they loose power or even on a regular basis. So when that happens they are removed from your network and you have to resend them another invite code.
    THERE is a fix though. If you register a free http://www.dyndns.com/ account and regularly update it with your current IP (use their client for that http://www.dyndns.com/support/clients/).You can replace your friend's IP with the new DNS name. So for example my ip is 87.67.56.45 (not my real ip) and my dns is gokudx.ath.cx. People can replace the ip with that DNS and it all works out fine. So if my ip ever changes no one has to send me another invite again. I just open the dyndns client click update dns address (it sends my latest IP to the site) and open up the Alliance client. The creator of the program is working on a way to allow people to use DNS easily.
    Other then that the program is rock solid. Programmed in java so it works on every OS. The hard part is getting people to use it now.

    Sledgstone got a reaction from Pchan in Outlook screw-up   
    Backup all those identities folders before you move them around, just incase you over-write something by accident because some of those dbx files could all have the same file name.
    I would do what gokudx7 said, I've done it before except when you locate the dbx files with your bosses emails on them, copy them all to whatever folder your outlook express is currently using (over-writing some like inbox if it has to) and restart outlook express. Everything should open up like normal with all his emails next time he opens the program.
    Alternate:
    Heres some links to programs that restore outlook express dbx files. As long as those dbx files are on the computer you could use these to restore them (these could be useful if things are really bad like corrupted files.) This might be the faster route if you can't distinguish what dbx files are what.

    Sexiest Actor/Actress: Johnny Depp. We all knew he's a great actor and is sexy.
    Sexiest Singer: This is a hard one. Possibly Mick Jagger. I know that he's old and everything, but today is his birthday, and I'm glad he's doing something great with his life - staying with the music, traveling, touring, being as healthy as he can, and exercising. I think that his solo work is the best out of everything he's done with the Stones, even. One song I love by him is "Old Habits Die Hard." This song came off of the movie soundtrack Alfie. If you guys have heard this song, what's your thouhgts on it?

    The other day I thought to myself.. how does a peanut grow? is it like a fruit tree or are the peanuts part of the root? So I looked it up and its neither.. peanut plants grow the flowers, then lower the pod into the soil to make the peanut. I find this fascinating that I've been eating peanuts my entire life but never knew how they grew..
    Peanut plant:

    Sledgstone reacted to Strider Hiryu in What makes Gundam Wing so popular?   
    Ah thanks for the info on Shenlong and Deathscythe. Been years since I saw it so I couldn't remember when they were destroyed and why (I have a bad memory).
    True, give an awesome pilot an awesome suit and they'll be a powerhouse (as seen with Char and a few other pilots in the UC series as well as AC series). It's just that the GW Gundams are actually more powerful then you believe them to be as compared to other timeline series (UC series and GX). Only real reason I know this is not by having seen those series but because I actually read and understand the technical specs that are out on the net for them (MAHQ is my bible for mech tech specs). I'm somewhat of a nerd for specs. I could care less what a suit looks like, I want to know what it's truly capable of and that can only be seen thru the technical specs. This is why the GW Gundams are considered so powerful. They're capable of things that nothing could realistically be capable of even a 25 meter humanoid weapon.
    UC Gundam isn't for everyone thats why I can see you not getting into it. Sadly this is what I don't like about the new generation of Gundam fans. They only watch it for the flashy Gundams, pretty boy/girl pilots, and fanservice (as seen in SEED/SEED Destiny). None of them are in it for the story or awesome character development that was seen in the original Gundam and subsequent UC series (Tomino is the man, all I have to say about that).
    Meh, I'm done now. Enough Gundam spouting out of me. Need to turn this back on track to GW and why it's so popular.

    Sledgstone reacted to Dubird in What makes Gundam Wing so popular?   
    You're forgetting one key element: Cartoon Network. GW is the first gundam series aired on Cartoon Network. Up until then, anime was mostly a subculture over here. You had your choice of crappy-dub Sailor Moon (the original is actually pretty good), Ronin Warriors (which is still one of my favorites), or Pokemon. Well, Fox did play Escaflowne, but they didn't do a good job of the dub and it didn't go over well. I don't consider Power Rangers in this catagory. >< Then CN comes along, gets ahold of GW, and pimp the living hell out of it. They put it on right after school, so a lot of kids can rush home and watch. And an instant fangirl-base was born.
    Personal, I love GW. The story is a lot deeper than people realize, but then, I've also read all the manga for it. That does help. (yes, Strider, pacifisim is a dream, but Relena is increadibly naieve). And yeah, you have to watch the whole thing. I didn't get it all when I first watched it. Most of what I got the first time I saw it was pretty characters and explosions. A lot of the political stuff went over my head. I've watched it several times since then, read essays and manga and discussed it a lot, and I enjoy it more now than I did. I'm not saying it's for everyone, and I'm not saying it's the best anime around, but there's a lot more to the series than it looks when you first see it.
