Hah, at the very least, The Man is my employer, seeing as how I'm in the military :D

No, Mr. Tex, you are the Man.
I am the Man.
We nerds, every damn one of us, are the Man.

Rei, there is no earthly way I can keep you in check.

Unless someone on here wants to help me balance an RPG engine. :cool:
 
:D

Oh, I just died in your game tonight
It must have been some damage you dealt
I just died in your game tonight

I keep on looking for healing I can´t get,
Broken gear lie all around me
And I don't see an easy way to get out of this
Her spellbook, it sits by the bedside table
The curtains are closed
The familiar in the cradle who would've thought
That a cleric like me could come to this

Oh, I just died in your game tonight
It must've been some damage you dealt
I just died in your game tonight
Oh I, I just died in your game tonight

It must've been some kind of fireball...
I should've reflex saved away, I should´ve reflex saved away

Is there any just cause for feeling like this?
On the surface I'm a character on a sheet, I try to be discrete
But then roll it again
I've lost and rerolled
It's my final mistake she's casting but evocation
No give and all take 'cos I've been thrilled to fantasy on too many times.

It was a long hot campaign but she made it easy
She made it feel right
But now it's over the moment is gone
I followed my dice to her plot
I know I was wrong
 
So, I just found out that they have the first four volumes of Powers online for free reading. I highly recommend this to fans of superheros or police procedural stuff. Basically it's a comic about a pair of detectives who investigate homicides involving people with superpowers.

Powers: Who Killed Retro Girl?
 
:D

*Backup singer here*
 
So, today I picked up the packages that arrived for me while I was on leave.

1) My new combat boots! Yay! And they're old-school shineable black boots, not the fuzzy green ones that they're issuing now. I'm gonna keep wearing black boots until I have to switch. Now begins the painful process of my boots breaking my feet in.

2) Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog on DVD! Now featuring Commentary!: The Musical!

3)Serenity: Better Times, another one of the comic book series based on Firefly, this one shows what happens on the rare occasion when a big heist actually goes well for the crew.

4) The Bro-Code by Barney Stinson and Matt Kuhn. Anyone who watches How I Met Your Mother should get this. Anyone who doesn't watch How I Met Your Mother should watch the show. :D

Is this one better than Those Left Behind?
I was sorely disappointed with that one...

The plot feels kinda re-tread, but it has lots of fun bits, especially when the crewmembers talk about what they'll do with their shares of the loot (Jayne's fantasy is hillarious, BTW).

If it's classic Jayne, I wanna be the woman he wastes most of it on:D!
 
Well, Jayne isn't so much smart as he is perceptive. He's that important archetype of Joss Whedon fiction: The not-too-bright guy who is acutely aware of the obvious (he is, I think, the first one to cue on to the fact that the Shepherd knows far more about violence than he should, or at least, he's the only one to state it).

So yeah, Jayne is very very good, very very perceptive, and very very dangerous.

Just none too smart. But you don't gotta be smart to be good at what you do. :D

I agree; he does have his poignant moments, but nobody, ain't nobody got lines like Cap'n Tightpants!

Harrow: "You have to finish it, lad. You have to finish it. For a man to lay beaten... and yet breathing? It makes him a coward."

Inara: "It's humiliation."

Mal: "Sure. It would be humiliating. Having to lie there while the better man refuses to spill your blood. Mercy is the mark of a great man. (lightly stabs Atherton with the sword) Guess I'm just a good man. (stabs him again) Well, I'm all right."

Harrow: "You didn't have to wound the man."

Mal: "Yeah, I know, it was just funny."

Edit: Ok, forgot this one.
Jayne: (mock reading Simon's journal) "Dear Diary...today I was pompous and my sister was crazy." (flips page) "Today, we were kidnapped by hill folk never to be seen again. It was the best day ever."
 
*Wonders if everyone is just busy...*

A question, ifen I may...

My wireless router keeps crapping out on me; tries to reset the IP address, but can't quite get the lock. Seriously impeding my torrenting.

Nerds, I call upon the IT caste for assistance. What can I do?

This almost sounds like a restriction on Router usage ( ie/ your Torrent usage)

Hopetfully this will help:

On the main setup page the ""Internet Connection Type"" should be
on ""Obtain IP Automatically - DHCP “. Click on the Save Settings
button.
Now click on the sub tab ""MAC address clone"".
- Click on enable
Click Clone & click save settings
Check WAN Ip on Status page of router ....
If getting Valid Ip .... try going online
If not ... power cycle for 4-5 minutes & then agian check the WAN Ip address .....


If that doesn't work, then call a tech at Linkys ( I have heard that they are the best for Router problems) Here's the number below:

I'll give that a shot.
Thanks.

Also, while I'm consulting the great sages of this fine nation, any good way of tricking one's autonomic breathing functions into circular breathing?

Awfully difficult.

You're welcome. Hope it works ^^"


A trick eh?

Lets see? Besides Practicing, I found this very useful site that showed breathing practices specifically used for the Didgeridoo.
This is it here: http://www.didgeridoostore.com/didgeridoo_circularbreathing.htm


But you do know that you don't have to learn circular breathing to play a didgeridoo, right?
