    Your forecasts of the hot IT technologies of 2009

    This? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandai_Pippin I'm not sure that's it though but it sure sounds similar to the one I'm remembering. Wrong time-frame is the problem; Apples was 10 years newer. Still, other than a bunch of iPhone results on Google, that seems to be their console.

    Computer Aptitude Test

    Nope. My listed name doesn't exist, the address has the wrong zipcode and is a different residence than my own, the phone numbers are for the local police and fire department (in that order), and the email is a throw-away email address I use for anything I don't care about. Think the only...

    The Sims

    Sims 2 all expansions no stuff-packs 10gb custom content maybe half of it "genetics" and bodyshop (clothing, hair, replacement eyes/body meshes, etc). Sims 1 all expansions no custom content. Sims 3 none yet no pre-orders either; I'm holding back until they get some expansions on it, because...

    Time Flies

    Read an article that it's actually detrimental to ones health to make resolutions. Makes sense really; boils down to this: 1) Make Resolution 2) Fail to accomplish 3) Feel like a failure who is inadequate 4) Increased stress 5) Health drops thanks to increased stress...

    Help generating a transparent png image using php

    I'm gunna vouch for this without trying it actually - the thing in the lower-right of my sig's using pretty much the same method to get the background transparent. One note though: in imagecolorallocatealpha($image, 255, 255, 255, 127); As long as the last number (alpha) is 127 (it's on a...

    drives not responding

    Definitely a virus; on the same site (second link in google if you copy/paste that exact error message): http://www.precisesecurity.com/blogs/2008/09/20/resycledbootcom/ Flash drive virus basically. Rather evil if you ask me, but I guess they have to get them from pc to pc somehow since we...

    Last Meal

    I'd have about 500 jawbreakers; takes me about an hour a jawbreaker so I'd be alive at least 500 hours longer than without. Oh, and a baconweave-cheese wrap. Whats a baconweave cheese wrap? Take 12 strips of bacon, and weave them together like a # symbol. Bake until done. Load full of...

    Your view: Notice before suspension?

    I'm voting no because of one word in the topic: Before. I'm all for sending them once the suspension's already occurred, but sending it before is just confusing - it says in the rules you'll get suspended if you don't log into the forums once every two weeks, so why send a notice that says...

    EA Planning to lay off 10% of it's workers. (1,000 employees)

    I'm of a similar opinion but less because of the games they're releasing and more because of the unnecessary overkill DRM installed with their latest games. Part of their troubles are stemming from that I'm guessing, cause they've gone and pi**ed off a lot of gamers, myself included.

    ATTENTION~ Major security flaw! MUST READ!

    I don't mean to question what's going on, but given that this thread was posted 1 day ago and the fix that actually fixed the security hole was deployed via automatic updates 3 days ago, this is a bit outdated >_< Bit of irony though; I don't think I've ever seen IE get BBC News' attention...

    How are you guys holding up with our economic troubles?

    The people in economic trouble needs to be expanded by your definition to include families like mine - making enough $ to cope, but not enough for extras beyond what they had before the economy took a nose-dive. Didn't have much extra before, got almost no extra now. I don't anticipate it to...

    Bring 'em on. There's a few thousand gun-toting/axe-wielding/chainsaw-swinging paid and free hosting members who would LOVE to bust some heads :)

    session error

    Whats everything in the script up to and including line 4? One of them is sending some form of output to the browser, and session_start has to be above whatever that is. Edit: Forgot to mention to block out anything that's personal/passwords in those 4 lines, but it seems you already kinda...

    Sony slashing 16,000 jobs

    Well they don't appear to be selling particularly well anyways; I'm possibly misinformed here but with how many were sitting on the shelves for its launch year christmas, I'm betting they can deal with some slowdown in production just to get the ones gathering dust out the door again. That...

    Spore: The most pirated game ever

    Um, not sure where you got the 'limited space' thing from; by my rough estimates securom is BARELY anything on the disc, compared to the game itself. Maybe 5mb. And if 5mb's too much for the 'limited space' available, which on most discs is now either 700mb or 4.7gb or larger still, or if it's...
