Saw it earlier today.  Baller movie.
[spoiler]Basically, it's like this: the blue dudes are like Zerg combined with Night Elves with the religion of the Native Americans.  The humans are basically Blackwater with Goliaths and Banshees.  The planet they are on is actually a moon, and every living thing is connected/connectable to an Overmind like entity which they don't explain in depth.  And at the end the Overmind calls out Ultralisks and a metric fuckton of Scourgalisks (They look like Mutalisks kind of, but don't shoot anything.  They go in for melee but don't explode).[/spoiler]

I thought immediately of night elves when I saw them, but my thoughts never wandered into what Blizzard creations everything resembled so in-depth.

I personally use avast! for my anti-virus. It hasn't given me trouble, and it's completely free for home computer use.

edit: hi deadly.

General Programming / Re: I want to learn, I swear!

You are.

The Express editions of Visual Studio are free.

Nice, didn't know that!

Any idea what the downside is? I didn't click the link or anything, but I'm guessing they're fully functional for learning purposes, but you can't use them for professional development?

I use the Express editions all the time for C# development. It looks like that's exactly what they are: for non-professional development. As far as I know I can compile programs that do everything possible with the language itself. The IDE is missing features that might be useful to have like third-party extensibility (IDE add-ons), some breakpoint features, some automatic refactoring features, some debugging features, and others. But personally I'm not spending money just for those.

joetheodd beat me to this post.

I loved it. I never watch movies within the first few days of release, but for some reason I did this time and I don't regret it...

There are people being idiots in cars too (talking on phones, playing with their radio or GPS excessively) leading to crashing, and they had to pass a driving test, so is a cycling test or class or whatever going to help? However, if the test was geared toward being safe like you say, maybe it will help.

In Connecticut they've banned talking on the phone while driving, so why not @Blaze.

I block all ads anyway thanks to that firefox extension.

Anyway, making a form that POSTs a new article like that is easy. Conclusion: you're lazy.

Why wouldn't they just keep the protocol the same? They're doing just fine right now imo.

IMO, they'll probably just keep it the same and just add more packets for the new features they are adding, for backwards compatibility with the current games...

?.

Are you referring to this?

...no...
The check button goes to the beginning of the thread instead of "new posts" in the thread, like it should and does on other forums.

...Meaning I have to remember what page it was on that I last read posts / posted at, so I can see new posts.

I think the button is working correctly on the new posts page, but I'd also like it to work in topic lists within the sub-forums.

Forget the damn meme and tell me why the new posts button doesn't work on this forum.

The (new posts) link doesn't go to the new posts in the thread like it should.

468, but it was literally falling (after 10 blocks left I just stacked 'em, before then I made them all fit together so there wasn't much way for them to fall) when I ran out of bricks. :O
