    Monitor is acting funny

    I've had my LCD (Hitachi 17" with 16ms response time) for over a year now, and I wouldn't go back to a CRT. I also don't notice any ghosting or issues with gaming. Over half the people at the lan parties I go to use LCD's now. It's the bees knees! ;)

    Current MS Office components?

    OpenOffice.org can open and save files in compatible formats with Word and Excel. It can also save in some other neat formats, like PDF, or slideshows in flash. Opening MS Office files is usually fine, but depending on the complexity of the Word doc or Excel spreadsheet though, things may look...

    The roots of Aztec human sacrifice - gruesome but nifty

    The way I read that initially is that he's explaining how it was acceptable from the Aztecs perspective, but I can see what you're saying here and concede that he does in a way say it is acceptable. I don't think that your individual serial killer analogy is germane. If instead you take the...

    The roots of Aztec human sacrifice - gruesome but nifty

    Celebrim, I'm not trying to start an argument, but nowhere does the author of the article ever state that the practice is in any way "acceptable". He merely suggests that there may have been a rationale, however twisted it may be, behind the practice beyond plain "maniacal" bloodlust. Anyways...

    George R.R. Martin novel news

    I got this from the SoIaF Westeros.org bulletin boards. This is a quote from someone was at the convention this past weekend, where GRRM announced that the book was being released. Take it with however much salt you want.

    George R.R. Martin novel news

    WOO-HOOO! :D Perhaps the coolest news is that ADwD is half-finished already. So that should be out after Feast in record time :cool: Thank you GRRM

    Lost - Season Finale *Spoilers*

    Found this from clicking around in the all flights cancelled area http://www.oceanic-air.com/images/oa_front-letter1a.jpg According to google a "mapinguari" is something similar to Sasquatch/Bigfoot etc. So what's that all about? Oh I saw the black blur back on the pilot episode, but never...

    Guess the Google

    Fun 183 the first time, 336 the second. Not because it gets easier, but it really depends on what words you get.

    Gamers NOT born in 1974!

    I'm a 74'er who had already voted. It is quite an interesting anomaly. There's definately a curve peaking around there, but still it's twice the population of any other year. Post Vietnam mini baby-boom? (Strange because the war wasn't over yet.) Some kind of coincidence of being the right...

    Rate Revenge of the Sith *SPOILERS*

    Me too. :\ I was a Star Wars fanboy prior to the prequels, just wish he had let someone else write and direct.

    Rate Revenge of the Sith *SPOILERS*

    I disagree. 1) If you read many of the reasons in this thread that people post for liking it, they're fanboy reasons and not actual merits of the movie*. Oooh I saw Antilles, Tarkin, Chewbacca, the Millenium Falcon, the Death Star, a Sith naming ceremony? Oooh we found out why the Emperor is...
