EXTREME SPOILERS AHEAD - DO NOT READ UNLESS YOU HAVE READ ADWD AND WANT ASOIAF ENDGAME SPECULATION

I stumbled on this guy's site a few weeks ago, and it's haunted me ever since.
It started out as a treatise on the Winterfell chapters in ADwD...
For those who are out of the loop, Apple has been hard on Samsung's ass (in a long series of hard-on-assedness toward basically every hardware company under the sun) about the Galaxy Tab supposedly being a patent infringement on the iPad. Their claim, among other things, was that the following...
So I've been looking for a new monitor lately, specifically an IPS panel. Unfortunately, they're godly expensive. LG started manufacturing cheaper "e"-IPS panels, and some companies have been selling their monitors with them at pretty good prices. The Dell u2311h has been out since May of last...
Today is a very special day, because it is the anniversary of Travis Rodgers' birth. He doesn't post much anymore, but he's one of the best members on this forum. Ladies find him irresistible. Men find him brofistable.
He also listens to some pretty fly music and can kick your ass at Street...
Since there's only a few members who live in Vancouver proper (me and SixThree edit: and bman and lame-o), I thought it appropriate that I host a thread on the Games. Hahaha. Get it.
Inevitably there will be many threads on random events, so the purpose here is to gather them all up in one...
Since the Battlefield forum gets completely swamped by the regular games forum, I'm posting this here.
As some of you know, today, BF2 received its first patch in 2 years. There are several fixes, including widescreen resolutions, balance (J10 in the spotlight) and performance. The patch also...
Dr. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
All from one round on stage 2 of Dustbowl. Regular server, no mods, no bullshit.
Best life: 13 backstabs, 27 points.
Beat it.
So I logged on today to find my hotmail inbox full of this:
After perusing them, I discovered that some guy in Morocco had started an account on this easyflirt.com dating site using my email. He must have logged on and started browsing right away, without actually using the confirmation...

This was on the front page yesterday. They didn't release his name until today. I knew this guy from grades 5-7. He definitely had some social problems, something stemming from his single...
I've found something great.
A while back I downloaded a little free platform sidescroller called Knytt Stories. While providing great atmosphere through the visual and exploratory nature of the game, the music blew me away, especially considering how low-key the whole project is.
The music...
Great. So now the site that introduced me to the Notwist, DJ Sasha, and a crapload other artists I would have never found otherwise is no longer accessible to me, in Canada, or anyone else outside the US. Thank you, thank you RIAA.
Anybody know of a way to make them think my IP is from the US?
OK. I've boiled down my choices to two Zalman fans for my new CPU. There isn't much out there in terms of reference for direct comparison.
Here they are:
CNPS 7700-cu
Pros:
120mm fan
Quieter than 9500
Standard construction: fan goes straight onto core
Cons:
Weighs ~1kg
Fan runs...
So I have a bit of cash hanging around, and I'd thouht I'd combine my current comp with some new parts.
My current rig:
GPU: ATI 9600p OEM
Mobo: ASUS P4-C800e-deluxe
CPU: Intel P4 2.60c (can't remember socket--from 2003)
Ram: 2x512mb generic pc3200
All of this was from 2003...
I have my C drive partitioned to only 10 gigs. I put all of my data and settings in the other partitions. It is about 8.4 gigs full. The new BF2 patch assumes that my C drive is my whole hd, and sees that it doesn't have the 3 gigs needed to unpack (or whatever it does) to C. I have deleted...
Alright, does anybody know the name of a song in SW: Episode 3. So far, I've heard it twice: in the teaser trailer, the song that starts after Palpatine says 'Rise,' and in the movie, when (not to spoil anything) Anakin is landing the giant ship, near the beginning.
I have the soundtrack, but...
Anybody else think his Solaris soundtrack was awesome?
Anybody else even know who he is? :p
And finally, anybody know where I can find some similar stuff (not the repetitive Yamaha synthesizer 'new age' stuff that is everywhere)?
