I don't remember. It did have egg and at least three types of meat on it. It wouldn't have been good if they hadn't restricted how much stuff they would put on it.

Sounds like a Roethlisburger.

America's Army Gets Tough on Hackers

Code: Select all

http://forum.americasarmy.com/viewtopic.php?t=143447
(copy and paste to avoid http referrer tag)
...we took notice. By we, I mean the entire AA team. That includes Public Applications, Government Applications, Ignited Minds, everyone associated with the development of the project – and the United States Army.

That last fact should give some of the bad guys pause, and yet it hasn’t. Some of you (and clearly the bad guys are among them) don’t always remember that this game, and all accounts and derivative products, are the property of the United States Army. When you tamper with the game, not only are you breaking the EULA you’re misusing Army property – and, worse, you’re misusing US Army computer programs and equipment.

Tampering with software and servers owned or used by the Army is cyber crime.

...

Allow me to speak directly to the bad guys for a moment: When you get banned, know that we know and have records showing you were doing something that’s a violation of terms of service, breaks your EULA, and also happens to be against the law. We know who you are, and can track down where you play from. We have incontrovertible proof you did something illegal. The Army is angry, and we’re coming for you.
Something tells me this is bigger than aimbots / wallhacks, but if it's just that, this is strangely amusing.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenna

I remember her! The classic test image for image compression is from a 1972 Playboy centerfold. (SFW) I always wondered what the deal with that hat was, and now I know: it's a porn hat.

Incidently, this is why Wikipedia is good. I'd like to see Britannica have an article on Lenna.

Yes, Wikipedia is awesomez0r. Someday Wiktionary will also be, hopefully.

How's this for an ironic statement?

Poll: Nation split on Bush as uniter or divider

49% to 49%. Hah. There's your answer right there, CNN.

A "Short" FFXI Story Synopsis

Code: Select all

For the curious. (Un?)fortunately, this is still incomplete since it doesn't cover the later Chains of Promathia missions (some of which still haven't been released.)
