had entertained buying need for speed undercover...why is it bad?

maybe 150K is a bit optimistic then, but let's give it a shot. i'll be at the break room sipping on the Kool Aid.

Undercover is decent, I borrowed a friend's PS3 copy and tried it out. It's fun, and pretty decent looking. The story line is unnecessary and boring, but the racing is fast and crazy. The controls could be tighter, the cars all feel pretty looose to me, but it's not a deal breaker. It's a good game for gamefly, and I did add it to my queue after trying it out.

I was trying to hit 43K by the end of the year but I'm starting to lose steam. Closing in on 1000 for Fallout 3, that took a minute. I'm getting sucked into Far Cry 2 finally, but that game is slow going for achievements. Dead Space should provide an easy 400-500 but that game is just boring me to death. Same issue with Tomb Raider, that series just doesn't do it for me anymore. I just impulse bought Banjo Kazooie off of amazon after 360fanboy advertised the $26 deal so that should be another few hundred. I might still make it.

yeah slane that's a bit awkward i know. this is what you get for not having your priorities straight :wacko:

i got let go. **** this economy :(

so i got alot of free time, especially since i'm out of school soo maybe i crank out 30k by end of year.....

that's right DM, and don't forget to pull the dagger out of our backs as a final courtesy.

slane, didn't you just start this job and buy lots of stuff? what gives?

EDIT: and who's this neyo character? you're one elusive dude let me tell you that!

last one in, first one out is really true. :(

Well hopefully Obama can clean up after this Bush as effectively as Clinton cleaned up after the last one. My company is taking a hit also, fortunately we're a pretty small corp and haven't had to make any cuts yet. My sympathies on losing your job. I hope you find something even better soon.

don't think it's really up to the new administration, we need the panic to subside quick so hires can climb back up. you'll be fine slane, i'm sure, we'll be reliving the late 90's before you know it. i miss that life, and to think back then i scoffed at it and thought the narrator from Fight Club was cool. oh how we grow up.

not one to boast usually, but this time i must make an exception - i did it! 30K by the end of the year! hahahahha didn't think i could, but it happened, and to mark the occasion, i've temporarily changed my gamerpic to the kudos achievement from PGR4...anyway, good job to everyone else, and i noticed Vykranth passed 35K! this is great stuff.

    • KillerPDF 1.4.2 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~10 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.4.2 changelog: What's new PDF form filling. Interactive PDF forms now render their fields (text inputs, checkboxes, radio buttons) as live controls. Fill them in directly and save — field values are written back into the PDF. PDF outline (bookmark) navigation. A new OUTLINES tab in the sidebar displays the document's bookmark tree. Click any entry to jump to that page. The sidebar auto-fits its width to the longest entry on open and can be dragged wider; switching back to PAGES snaps to the pages-mode width. Fixed Page rotation no longer reverts after saving. Rotations applied via the sidebar context menu now persist correctly through the save pipeline. Copied text words were out of order on PDFs where glyphs are stored in non-reading order (Issue #66). Text extraction now sorts words by position and uses a dynamic line-grouping threshold so both drag-select and Select All produce correctly ordered output. PDFs with malformed or non-standard XRef tables now open in read-only mode instead of showing "Invalid entry in XRef table" and failing entirely.

    • "...a low price of just $340..." I don't think it means what you think it means.

    • The very fact that a TPM (v2.0 specifically which is part of the issue I suspect) is now a baseline for any supported Windows installation will naturally mean other vendors will start to leverage it as they know it'll be there. It's called progress, and it's always been the way. A TPM isn't a windows thing, it's just a module designed to securely store keys. Secure boot isn't a Windows thing (although MS are the TCA as I recall hence the upheaval this year as the 2011 certs expire), it's just a way to verify a bootloader is signed. Windows simply leverages them.
    • It's a local account with the ability to reset a password at a very base level. I really don't get the issue that gets whipped up around it But you do you
