An “Outlet” for Geeks
Back in the day (when I was a slave…) no real gamer would ever brag about buying a pre-built PC. Especially from a company like Gateway, HP or Dell. Unless the machine you purchased came from companies like Falcon Northwest or Alienware, you would be the laughing stock of the (LAN) party.
Now though, because of the current rise in popularity of gaming, and to some extent, globalization, companies like Gateway, HP and Dell are focusing on building bleeding-edge machines at a reduced cost. Each company has its own “Elite” offering; Gateway has its FX lineup, HP has its excellent BlackBird PC’S, and Dell…well, they went one step further and actually purchased Alienware, who builds their XPS machines.

Cast Off Your Shackles — Break MySpace! [FIXED-READ UPDATE]
Sorry! an unexpected error has occurred.
This error has been forwarded to MySpace’s technical group.
Here I am, with yet another lame MySpace trick. This one however is absolutely not useful and the result is the following: you will not be able to navigate any MySpace page having to do with you, friends on your list will not be able to view the “status updates” page, friends who use the new layout will not be able to access their MySpace home pages until you’re cycled from their update window (the more friends/more often they update the quicker they will be able to access it). Lastly, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FIX THIS. Though I despise MySpace, I e-mailed them about fixing this problem and they have not, so you will be at their mercy if you decide to do this. I take no responsibility for you doing this either.

In my current state of addiction I’ve been rocking out with my plastic guitar with the 5 brightly colored buttons. Guitar Hero 3 has been causing me to procrastinate a lot more over the last month than usual. It wasn’t until about a week ago that I found out about Frets on Fire. It is a guitar hero like game that you play using your keyboard (created in Python). You can create your own songs to play and even import the songs from the first three Guitar Hero games. After playing it for a while I wanted to use my GH3 guitar but I wasn’t sure if I could even do that. It turns out that yes, you can use the guitar under Linux and even Windows.
