Um yeah, i just want to compile some java. I'm thinking that my next post will have...

When I asked myself this question I thought of the web show Pure Pwnage. Early in the series they introduced FPS Doug, you know the "Boom Headshot!" guy. So the main character (Jeremy) and Doug are siting around talking about video games with Jeremy talking about C&C (Generals) and Doug talking about Army Ops. And this is rea...

So I'm looking to take on a project that will keep me entertained. Here are the options: 1) Your project here!: I'll program something that you want done. Here are the rules: a) It can't suck, has to be somewhat interesting b) Two to three week time frame, I can't do it when I'm back in school c) No graphics, command l...

So last week I posted a thread in Strats about doing a writeup about keyboarding styles, and I'm getting to it. Unfortunately with the end of the quarter bearing down on me I am faced with many a project to be completed. Luckily, being the computer science major that I am, have decided to be one of those losers that makes school stuff about nerd stuff and am doing an SC project as ...

Of course it was a bad idea, but it made it a year without dieing. The question of course is what is dea, the video card or the PCI slot? Any rate, new computer stuff yay! As a side note, gutting my compy to move it to a new case? Good idea or bad idea?

For most of my time this quarter of college I've been dealing with people looking for approval for their drug use. Here's how the situation will go down. Me- "hey people what's up?"

Now I bet you are probably thinking "u suck u thru a buncha tracks in a playlist GG no0b noRE" However this momentous occasion is quite the contrary. You see normally when I make mixtapes I am a big snob, like John Cusak in High Fidelity. I normally do ten track mixtapes...

Well on with the show! I was recently looking at a voter map of the US that showed how states swung in the '00 and '04 elections and noticed that while Michigan went Gore and Kerry ...

Well I got another one closed and I'm not sorry this time. I asked a question recently in the general forums about nominal vs real oil prices. This was not a question about homework, as per interpreted. It was simply something that I was curious about. Just thought you should all know. ...

Because of this, I would like to post a journal entry of mine that I feel is somewhat insightful and hopefully Chill will accept it as and apology for me being a dumb fuck.

It seems like all of the blog posts are about getting in a gaming slump or unrequited love. And the worst part is that we tear each other apart with obtuse comments after people pou...

At the suggestion of some TL users I recently found myself at Best Buy picking up an anodized aluminum gaming mousepad. While wandering around trying to find one made by Razer (they stopped carrying them, WTF?) I decided to pick up Half-Life 2 Episodes 1&2 for 20$. And at this...
