Apparently the pirate bay site was sold for 8 million, probably to pay for the fine the creators received. It's apparently not going to feature pirated content anymore.
What a bad week for celebrities.
first i heard about michael jackson. now this one i don't really care about and i think people are overreacting. the michael jackson that we all know and love and admire died in the late 80's early 90's to be replaced with this
sure he did a lot of good things for music and video, but that michael jackson was replaced with an attention whoring son of a gun. i think southpark portrayed him best, having trouble finding a video though.
then there's farrah fawcett. died of cancer before jackson, kinda sad.
and then the most important one to go, billy mays.
Don't know if anyone remembers the video for the website is down (i'll post the video in the comments). This is the third video in the series, it's about the sales guy in the first video. Just re-watched the first video and it's still great.
PETA is sending President Barack Obama a Katcha Bug Humane Bug Catcher, a device that allows users to trap a house fly and then release it outside.
"We support compassion even for the most curious, smallest and least sympathetic animals," PETA spokesman Bruce Friedrich said Wednesday. "We believe that people, where they can be compassionate, should be, for all animals."
just wow... peta will use any means necessary to push their agenda. what better way to get attention than to critic the president about something so juvenile.
and i'm falling right into their trap by posting this.
School's out for summer -- except for hundreds of children in western San Bernardino County who, because of an administrative snafu, must make up 34 days of school this summer.
The fourth-, fifth- and sixth-graders at Rolling Ridge Elementary in Chino Hills and Dickson Elementary in Chino exceeded the state's requirement of minutes spent in the classroom, and the last day of school was supposed to be Thursday. But because of the complexities of state law and a clerical error on a spreadsheet, the Chino Unified School District will lose more than $7 million in state funds if classes end at the schools before July 31.
ouch, sucks for the kids. cleric error in excel and they have to stay an extra semester practically. maybe the kids will grow up hating microsoft or some such weird thing because it happened in excel, lol.
Those who are being fitted for a tux, myself, carl, johnny and the wee-ones, need to be refitted on the 18th of june. it's a thursday so i'm guessing you'll have to go after work.
i think i might be able to do it during lunch since i work relatively close to there.
cliff and curt, not sure how it's going to work for you guys, you need to talk to johnny or his better half for that.
Wow, both vikie and i were blown away by this.
We bought the wiiware version of this game and when in the middle of the process you get a message from squenix saying that the game is pay to play online. so i thought that it was like final fantasy y life as king, download extra content as in costumes and skins. figuring maybe they would allow you to buy new weapons and characters, you knw, the typical thing that a lot of companies are doing now.
nope. 5 hours in and vikie's beaten it already. apparently what they don't mention is that it's an episodic game, meaning you get the first 3 'chapters' of the game and when finished those you can decide to download the rest in individual chapters for 3$US. only one other chapter is out right now.
here's a list of chapters and release dates as well as prices

after some math and from what other people have said, the game should come up to roughly 36$, not so bad considering people online are saying it's a full fledged game and when the original came out for snes back in the day it went for 60$. and your characters/equipment/items/stats and everything else gets moved over to the next chapter when ready.
initially i was upset, when i buy something i expect to get the whole thing, especially when it's a game. i hate DLC, especially when it's already on disc and you unlock it by paying 3 bucks.
now that i think of it, there might be technical reasons for this as well. maybe the game is larger than 45 megs, which is the limit for wiiware.
so final words, be weary of what you're buying. i didn't know, and when i think of it i'm not sure i would of bought this knowing it was episodic, sneaky buggers.
