I had an Everex XT5000T go out on me, no post, no nothing. Well turns out Everex is now out of business and lots of XT5000T owners are having this problem.A few of them have baked their mobos even to fix it. I was skeptical but I didn't have anything to lose the board was already dead.

So today I set our little stove in the kitchen to work. 392F (or close enough anyways) for 15mins it sat on a pizza tray socket side up, just the way i like them! To finish I added a light tomato chutney...

As I sit here tonight I am thankful once again for the kind folks in India who now handle my Windows XP activation ever since I hit my 15 automatic activations sometime back in 2005.

Unlike the knuckledraggers who run my ISP, the service technicians in India speak better English than the Americans working about 26mi from my house. If I had to put up with one more "ain't" or "ya'll" or any other of a million subversive contractions of the English language for that...

So I've been playing HostileSpace off and on forever now well since back around 2000 anyways. It's a pretty good game for a free 2D MMORPG Space game. Trust me it's more fun than it sounds.

It used to be you'd login and have around 70-80 people on any server either PvPing in the badlands, laming bosses for phat lewt or other cool/fun stuff. But the creator of HostileSpace, Blitz, has since removed and reworked almost everything so much that tons of players have quit over the years...

I think it's something in the water. Lately I've been running into more and more noobs online that just constantly want to be asshats about almost anything they can. It all probably just stems from a vitamin deficiency or because their mommy's don't love them enough. I wish we all had Online ID cards that showed everyone where we live and who we are in real life so I can go beat some 12yr olds ass in real life.
