I'll ask my mother to bring home some cardboard boxes tomorrow, I can use those to help clean my room.

A box for recycling.
A box for shredding.
A box for trash.
A box for temporary save - wherein if the box doesn't get opened for a while (six months?), it all gets junked.

i'M BACK!

And better than ever?

My timing and point attack ability with the lightsaber has improved for no reason, and I can again backflip and mouse rotate for backslashes.

I hope silverlight's done for. Not only because I hate running it BUT because I hated that the project I was piloting at my internship I was forced to make a simple website with it.

Not if MS has anything to say about it. And the little that I know, which is nothing, suggests they have ambitious plans for it I think.

You only hate it because you had to design a site for it.

For end users there is no "running" it. You install it once the first time you visit a site like Netflix and thats all you ever have to do. It doesnt have two bullshit updates every month you have to manually run. It plays videos much smoother and with a smaller performance hit than Flash, especially when you resize the window. It takes better advantage of any acceleration your video card may have. It actually makes HD look better than Flash provided the server doesnt over compress it (which unfortunately Netflix does for its computer viewers, but that isnt Silverlights fault).

Okay, the G37-R shroud is misnamed.

The G37's use rounded over shrouds, more like the older style Mini shrouds or something. The G35 has the ridged design, but not for its projectors, just for the primary facing, and that's three not four.

I wonder if I need ballasts.

I started my lights the other night, and watched them take about three seconds to warm up. OEM ballasts are supposed to be faster than that, I think...
