Fantasy Football vs. Deathmatch vs. Capture the flag

I think my Uncle is casual about fantasy football. I just told them that people play Madden NFL. It's a clever marketing for their game (inside it you know), but my Uncle is doing it off Yahoo so he's non-hardcore. I watch the Vikings and Packers tomorrow on TV. Say if I had a girlfriend, it wouldn't be fantasy football excuses. I sure hope he knows Fantasy football has become what it’s supposed to be: building a team entirely out of best players, and “guiding” them to victory. There isn't anybody stupid enough to use their original weapon in deathmatch or capture the flag in Unreal Tournament 3? You instead go for the flak cannon or rocket launcher or sniper rifle and who cares about the other weapons. You get fragged more with the other weapons.

Watching the real NFL sport prevents stupidity. Sports games are not necessarily smart either, because I never actually enjoy beating Madden due to everything randomly generated. Gears of War III, or Resistance 3, or Bulletstorm or Unreal Tournament or Team Fortress or Battlefield 3 or Modern Warfare are a better option for multiplayer, because you're never stupid when highest on the ladder. In real life, you even have bragging rights. I used to play well on Unreal Tournament and Unreal Tournament 2003 LAN parties in middle school, high school, and 2004 before LAN parties were defunct. All my print screened ladder scores were lost over the years.

Lets Dispense **** Really high gold prices....SCAM!

Ready to bet on the price of gold? If you think it’s going to head upwards you might want to stop by your local Gold Bar dispensing ATM machine and make a withdrawal.

The Gold ATMs look like a standard ATM, standing at approximately 6 feet tall, but unlike your standard ATM with these machines you either insert your bank or credit card and purchase gold in 1 gram, 5 gram, 10 gram and 1 ounce units.

Okay so only 35 machines are expected in the U.S. by the end of 2010, but it shows how strong gold prices have become during the current economic climate.

Each ATM will be internet connected and will be updated with gold prices in ten minute increments, ensuring the latest gold prices are honored when you make your transaction.


Were there any TV ads when gold prices were low. Of course not. They're doing them when gold prices are super high. i say don't do it. The US needs the dollar anyway. People will buy into this scam!

DeSoto, WI

Cheap camping at Blackhawk Park, in DeSoto, WI (E590 CTY RD BI). Mississippi back-stream flooded the campsite and some campsites were under water. I was here with a friend.

I meet the Airforce requirement for 71 inches/age.

Best community award

The award goes to Gamespot, because this gaming website has the entire gaming blogging community who won't troll on your page, and cannot say anything personally negative; else they're banned like I was four times! At least for right now. Facebook and Twitter don't have the users on-board who care enough about your page and I'm one of those people. Gaming seems to be a pre-req for IT. Anyone can have the first relies in the least amount of time compared to any forum of any non-college genre. Facebook is dieing as we speak, beginning to look as discerted as Myspace. Overall this all makes Gamespot look ahead of its time. Gamespot's best days aren't behind it.

Bought Archos 7 8GB Home Tablet with Android 1.6

I bought one of these yesterday, because I didn't like the price $500 price of the Apple iPad 16 GB. It was only $149 with tax.



All Archos 7 plays Youtube and flash videos if you use the Skyfire browser.

Of course, there are drawbacks. I wouldn't give it a low rating, because it's missing features that only come with $500 tablets.

-The screen is resistive, and occasionally doesn't register your tap. This improves with time, if you turn on the click-on-tap sound setting.
- You download Android applications which are free / cheaper than iPads.
-The chip is supposedly slower to lower the pricepoint. I haven't noticed this much.
- Android runs on Linux kernel.

It plays AVC, DivX, Xvid, Quicktime, JPEG. Now for whatever reason if I go to a coffee shop, I can look good. On my 'date' in Caribou Coffee in mid-2005, I brought a PSP just to show JPEG slideshows to her, but we didn't become friends. She was in Physics and had nothing in common. PSP is all I have portable-wise other then a 32-bit Core Duo Acer laptop with Ubuntu 10.04.1 since 2006!

I can keep this in my vehicle and socialize it as people would do iPad, and get similar reactions. It's cheaper to replace than a lost laptop.

RedHat/Canonical Ltd team up against Sunwah

China, which likes to take the cheapest way out, has ran its entire economy on Sunwah and to a lesser extent Red flag. The US Government is using both Redhat and Ubuntu just to meet China's benchmark.

Linux is more secure than MAC and Windows. Maybe its time to dual-boot Linux?
EASEUS Partition Master 6.1. seemed to work on every Windows box I come across. I run OpenSuse for myself and Ubuntu for family who don't like OpenSuse.
