Whatever happened to UserLoser?  I know his disappeared a while ago but I don't think the full story was ever given (or if it was I didn't see it.)

Anyone care to shed some light on the situation?

Post your guild's or your own personal progression!

My guild has been farming ToC 25 for the past few weeks, but I can't make it weekends so I've been having to pug.    Hoping to move on to ToGC 10/25 soon.

Thoughts?  Current levels?

I'm loving my death knight.

QuoteSYDNEY, Australia - Steve Irwin, the quirky Australian naturalist who won worldwide acclaim, has died in a marine accident off Australia's northeast coast, local media reported on Monday.

Ok, last night my computer froze up and I shut it down like I always do when I freeze up, except this time when I when I turned it back on it sat at the windows loading screen for about 45 minutes before I finally got annoyed and turned it off again.  This time, instead of be tempted again and going in circles I decided to let it be and went to look for my windows disk so I could try and do that thing where you restore only the system files without actually formating. So, after looking and not finding my windows disk I come back to find that Windows is now loading normally.  I think everything is alright until I realize that pretty much everytime I either load more than one program at or open more than two tabs in firefox my computer locks up for anywhere from 30 seconds to a minute before it finishes loading things that it used to load with little to no lag.

After running chkdsk I know that something is definetly wrong:


Now, until I can find my windows disk I want to keep taking it to the shop at the bottom of my options list.  I've already tried a system restore and nothing happens.  Anyone have any ideas?

Score!

Yeah, well we just got a new computer and my mom went to install itunes and try to upload the songs from her ipod to the computer.  Unfortunately, due to bad wording of an itunes popup, she erased all of her songs and ended up putting the two sample songs that come with mediaplayer.  We still have the old computer, but with no power supply or motherboard, so restoring the old harddrive is still possible.  Is there anyway to get her songs back on without annoying my dad in to paying some guy to come out and transfer the files from the old computer?

So I finally got a computer that will run WoW smoothly.  The question is, who wants to let me play with them?  Oh, and by "play" I mean "let me follow around and answer all my stupid questions."  I think I was about level 6 when I quit in summer, so I'm not a complete noob.  Any takers? 

What I'm trying to do is make one of those pages where everytime you hit refresh, a different image randomly loads.  My friend gave me this exact script (the only difference being the urls and image directories), wich he used and it worked fine for him.  The problem is for me it always ends up just displaying that little square with the tear through it showing the image isn't found.  Here's what the script(s) look like.

This is the html that loads on the initial page:

<div style="position:absolute; top: 5px; right: 10px; z-index:1;"><a href="http://www.dougisawesome.com/Stuff/images/rand" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.dougisawesome.com/Stuff/images/sig.php" border="0"></a></div>

Which, in turn, loads this php script that's SUPPOSED to be displaying a random image from the directory.

<?php
$wtf = "Stuff/images/rand";
srand( time() );
if ($dir = @opendir($wtf)) {
while (($file = readdir($dir)) !== false) {
if ( eregi( '.gif$', $file ) ) { $files[] = $file; }
} 
closedir($dir);
}
$file = $files[rand() % sizeof( $files )];
header( "Content-Type: image/gif" );
header( "Content-Length: " . filesize( $wtf."/".$file ) );
readfile( $wtf."/".$file );
?>

Since I'm about as good at web coding as I am at flying an F18 jet, try to bare with me when I ask questions like these that are probably very easily solved.

Alright, here's the problem:  Lately I've been wishing I could play games on my laptop besides Diablo and Starcraft on my computer without lag.  The problem is, after some talking with my friend I'm not sure which part(s) to upgrade.  So far I've decided I will definetly be getting new Ram (1gb stick) but I can't decide whether I should get a new processor or graphics card and I can only afford one right now.  I currently have a Intel Celeron processor and an Intel Extreme Graphics 2 for Mobile (upon mentioning the latter my friend seemed conviced that was the problem.) 

So my question is, which one of these should I upgrade in order to play games like Guild Wars, or World of Warcraft without or at least with less lag?
*Suggestions and links would be greatly appreciated. Sorry if this is the wrong section for this.*

Today when I was walking home, I saw this comical spray paint on a basketball court near my house and thought to myself "What a great opportunity to impress an online community I frequently visit!" So I whipped out my handy-dandy cell phone and took this picture.



Incase you can't read it, I traced what it says in paint.
