My father had a hobby store (The Hobby Hut) that sold all that shit: dice, adventure modules, (Monster Manuals & Fiend Folios) die-cast figurines, paint, brushes, etc. He even rented out space in the basement of the store for all those nerds to gather & play their games. I remember going down there one time as a young lad and seeing at least 25 of them sitting at a bunch of folding tables. That must've been quite a campaign.

upvote not so much for the music but for the great tour of the space station...

And the fact that the teams sleep on different ends..


oh no theres the russian module we dont go there....!

I just thought I'd point out that I've ran my main computer (of course I'm a hardware geek, so I know my stuff--no conflicts is another way to put it) for 4 years on Vista SP2 64-Bit WITHOUT ONE CRASH (this is a: on for 24/7 as it acts as a media server and Windows Media Center Extender-provider)! Now I'm on Win 7 64-Bit and same deal, nothing, no problems, no crashes, and I have my fair share of peripherals plugged in.

People need to realize that somewhere towards the end of Vista and into Windows 7 Microsoft has taken their crappy old software and made it work extremely well, considering what it has to do. It has drivers for virtually everything and if your a scientist, engineer, or something similar you're using Windows for this very reason: Windows will recognize your device and allow you to write a driver to let you do whatever you need it to do; easily!

People are afraid to switch out Windows XP. They're expecting to go through all the hassle only to get the same crap. But, Windows 7 is definitely a new breed of design for Microsoft. You can tell the old guys must have been canned or given an epiphany inducing lashing by Bill: Bill was retired from production for a long time, but when Vista came out, it literally pissed him off (as he was trying to use it himself) and there was a big bust-up/fight internally; so in a way I'm glad Vista started out as a complete and utter piece of crap that performed as well as a brick in a GrandPrix race. It led to Windows 7 and the service packs that made Vista very usable.

Again, back to why Windows IS successful even when it was crashing... You can right your own driver AND IT WORKS. Now days it works great, and the development software is pretty straight forward and is fairly good. That is the one thing he should point out in the video is the extremes Microsoft went to (and still does), to get an OS that would do everything. Yeah, it crashed and was buggy, but realistically you won't be running your new hardware on a MacOS. People with MacOS's (in the past especially) are one trick pony users. They do music or they do art. They don't need a virtual driver that supports incoming data from a USB blender/centrifuge that will let you write a program using the driver to tamper with the spin and modulation rate of the device while getting real-time data updates. Hell, the roving "Doppler on Wheels" uses Windows for this very reason.

Microsoft takes a lot of flak, but they filled their role very well and I was never surprised that it was buggy (however, I'll totally agree that the initial version of Vista was a complete an utter joke--like I said I didn't get it till they had their second service pack and had great user feedback; especially, since I went 64-bit).

Windows 7 though IS the OS to use or some sort of Linux distribution. But, with the great support built in, right off the bat (this time) and the easy to make drivers for developers and hardware vendors, it's getting hard to find a reason to not use it other than: "I hate Windows and/or Bill Gates".

Thought I'd write this bit if people didn't know the story or reasons why the latest Windows have changed direction so drastically.

Did you post that??? That was crazy!

Sorry for the login troubles across VS and the wiki. Took me several hours to figure out what the issue was. I was certain it was something I did (it usually is), but this time it was a server module surprise.
Login synchronization is all fixed now!

bit retarded having a book for this ,
would much rather have a proper 50-80 min documentry with the sfx and footage stuck together rather than some shitty clunky book with crap speakers.
I mean even if it was like this clip but just 60min of it that would be fine , or a book that comes with a DVD "sound of star wars" , containg 60 min documtry , and full music score for star wars that would be a far more appealing gift or perchise for people from 10-60 than this retarded book.


I cannot express how much disappointment I have that this might as well be a childs book with the silly voice module on the side rather than a proper DVD documentary. They even have the gall to say they are doing something new when you could find talking Elmo books for what, at least a decade now?

The Ten Biggest Lies about Smoke & Smoking

O.K.! Think about it. Cats are born homicidal maniacs. They spend 90% of their waking hours killing insects, watching other live things such as birds with desire to catch and kill, or playing as though they are catching and killing something. The other 10% is going to the toilet and rubbing their scent on their human slaves legs in order to mark the human as their property. They are said to harbor a paramecium that causes rodents to not fear them and humans to love them. They have evolved a cry that is the frequency and modulation of a newborn human baby. Other than that, they present a regal attitude and are cute (which impression may or may not be a result of the paramecium). If cats were as large as horses, we humans would be in deep trouble! Lastly, there are no good cat recipes.

Any one with the EFIx usb boot loader module can do this. The trick to do this with out it. That motherboard is a great Hackintosh board. You can use the Apple install disk.. Just need kext for the chip sets. Life hacker web has excellent how to this this EP45 board.


The guy did a great job customizing the Xbox. that was worth the watch.

Mm. Problem is that your explanation, if you can call it that, is only slightly more likely to be true than ghosts are. The hypothesis that people who claim to see ghosts are hallucinating, delusional, mistaken, prone to pareidolia, or simply lying, is far more likely than either "ghost" or "eye resonance".


>> ^joedirt:

What that means is that neurons fire at a certain rate to transmit data, communicate, change state, whatever. The neruon paths fire in the tens of Hz or slower, so maybe the visual cortex or visual nerve cells have a certain frequency they fire at and if you in an environment with EM or visual stimuli that is at certain frequencies, it makes sense this could have impact on what you "see", much like modulating and to create FM communication. Though you might call it more of a pulse stream shift keying.

I read some shit a while back that said the reason we experience paranormal events in certain environs is because of resonance factors that resonate with the same frequency as our eyes thus creating peripheral visions.
Seem interesting as a theory.

That's not a theory. A theory has to contain an actual explanation of the cause of the phenomena. What you gave is pseudo-scientific mumbo jumbo.
Our eyes resonate? WTF does that even mean?
