"Hey yo girl, how bout a game of chess? I'm betting my king topples your queen during"

Hey all-

I'm trying to use LaTeX to write a lab report for bio.. How do I have the following 3 items directly above each other in this order?

\beta-galactosidase
\rightarrow
H_{2}O

I tried this formula but it didn't work, and I dunno what else to do. Maybe an array or a vector? But I don't want the associated braces that come with them..
\displaystyle C_{12}H_{22}O_{11} \over{\beta-galactosidase}\longrightarrow \under{H_{2}O}

I'll post teh list of movies I want to see/will be dragged to see in theaters until end of December :D

Nov 7th: Madagascar 2
Nov 14th: Quantum of Solace
Nov 21st: Twilight
Nov 26th: Transporter 3

Anything I'm missing?

Google's little blog about it. Apparently there's a hack coming out soon that would allow someone sniffing packets on an unencrypted e-mail session to take advantage of the lack of protection and obtain the session information, therefore bypassing the need for login information.

My laptop (an HP Pavilion ze4911us) is starting to heat up insane amounts doing.. well.. nothing. I'll be writing a paper on it and after an hour or two will happen to touch the bottom of it and will notice that it gets to AT LEAST 80 degrees Fahrenheit.. which isn't good. I contacted HP today and they said that the motherboard is dying. But then, it IS customer support, and we all know how much they actually help.. They told me to update the BIOS, reinstall the power management software, and the problem still persists. What do you guys think is the problem with it? I was thinking it might be a couple of dead fans, but taking apart the laptop to check that is quite a task (have to strip all parts, basically).

So I'm going to FINALLY be DMing a campaign with my friends soon, and I need to prepare myself. I'm thinking of starting them off with a massive dungeon crawl--which means I have a lot of work to do. What tips do you guys have for successful DMing? I definitely don't intend to follow all of the rules laid out in the DM's guide, will definitely have a set storyline leading up to a final "boss" battle, but other than that, I'm not too sure what else I'll need. Obviously I should have monsters rolled ahead of time and stuff, right?

EDit: Forgot to mention, this will be D&D 3.5

ROCKED THE FUCKING HOUSE.
Go see it. You will NOT be disappointed.

Well iago, you should be proud of me. For my freshman comp class in college we have to do a persuasive research paper.. I had absolutely no idea what to pick so I'm basically arguing the pros of a vegetarian lifestyle. ^^
I was also curious to see if you had any scholarly articles that you just like.. link everybody to when they go "OMG VEGAN" or something, though. I've found quite a few but hey, you can never have enough sources.

Here's the story: I went to a strip club for the first time in Myrtle Beach. There was a stripper sitting by herself so I went up and introduced myself and asked if she got on stage (in case she was a waitress or something). She said yes, and I asked when. She said she'd get in line. I sat at the stage for her, ready to give her all of the one's in my wallet. She was easily the prettiest one there, and really young. She didn't look like a stripper, she looked natural and like a normal person. I really really liked her, but then I have to remember her job is to make guys feel like she likes them. After I turned her down for a private dance the first time, she wasn't as friendly to me. When I decided that I was going to pay for the vip room, my friends wouldn't let me do it.

Wow. I'm surprised you two aren't married and have 5 kids yet. Give me a break.

I've got a request for all of you (yes, even Crazed!). I need to write a proposal for the district curriculum for my superintendent and I'm just wondering if you guys can help me out by thinking up things that (in general) could be wrong with such a proposal.. I don't need any help with the proposal itself, just I need to argue out alll the other points too.
If you want to know why, feel free to send me a message on AIM if you can catch me.

If you move to a member's forum, you'll lose moderation here pretty fast. :P

You're breaking rule #1. Ender, move his post. Post-haste.

Andrew?
Just wondering. :P

Man, Blizzard is full of geniuses. "gee, let's release another expansion and make more moneys!"  And people still buy it. :P Game, 2 expansions, monthly subscriptions.. they don't seem to want to cater to any new players nowadays..

Well, in about fifteen minutes, I'm leaving to go register for classes at the U of MN. I have to take 16 credit hours there in order to keep on track with graduation. :| I'll post my schedule after I register later.

Endorphins are released in stressful situations

Ah. That's exactly what I didn't know. :)

By the way, I'm guessing that endorphins are an "adrenaline rush", right?

Proof why you're too stupid to leave high school.

I'll keep this short and sweet:

If anybody has some recommendations for electronic/techno music, mind posting them here or telling me on AIM/MSN? Thanks.
