Yeah, I "won" another auction on eBay. Sweet. I didn't get to use paypal to err pay my, err pal? But I did use bidpay. It seems like a good system, and is easier to sign up and use than paypal. But probably not as good in the long run. For one off things it is definitly wang.
The fact that someone managed to hack into valve and steal the code for Half Life 2 is some interesting. What is more interesting, and more worth our respect is that Harlequin worked there, and now works somewhere else and is leet graphics dude. Yes yes.
Fark has some excellent "headlines we would like to see."
The headline "Elite soldiers cut loose to save helicopter" is not good for aforementioned elite soldiers I'm thinking.
Nope. They die (as you do when falling 180m to the ocean below) I like the quote:
Wearing full battle gear and carrying weapons, the men would have sunk instantly after being killed on impact.
Sweet. Now, I'm sure (and they tell me) that when the helicopter is in trouble (was hit by a wind gust) that cutting the cables is the normal thing to do. But really... do you think it was likely to help much? I guess they lost the weight, and this is prbably good, but Damn. I'd be pissed off.
On that note (a note regarding squaddies) Dan is apparently up for interview one in the game of soldiers, and we wish him good luck. And hope their is no buggering.
