You shouldn't have to change anything, the controls were all the same as on COD4 and COD5 if you didn't mess with them.

If you didn't know the day after its release MW2 for the PS3 is having server issues. You are unable to play online. I know, trust me I know. It's been about 3 hours since fourzerotwo tweeted that the servers were gradually coming back online and ...

I only got to play it for about 3-4 hours. I am up to rank 22 at least. The game is awesome. I was one kill short of the tactical nuke, I almost cried when I died. GET THE GAME NOW!!

Like your 60 bucks or whatever make a rats ass of a difference to their expected 500M+ wallet in the first week. LOL, this discussion makes me laugh every time I see it.

Profile Information

What kind of geek are you?
I enjoy programming, favorite languages C# and Java in that order. I do a little bit of scripting, but not to much and I occasionally try my hand at a little web design.
Why do you consider yourself a geek?
We all deep down just know we are geeks, well, its not very deep for some people, but we all know that one way or another everyone is a geek.
How did you find out about our Geek community?
Chris's Youtube page
What are your "geeky equipment" specs?
I have a Satelite A305-S6898:

4gb ram
350gb hard drive
graphics card
duo
windows 7

I own several desktop computers, I am a windows person, don't hate me, you're the minority.
What do you want to be when you grow up?
Who knows..... It changes every other day.
What makes you laugh?
I amuse myself all the time, I just think funny things. I often burst out laughing because I thought of something which more often then not draws some interesting stares.
What's the geekiest thing you've ever done?
That's a long list...
What do you do to entertain yourself?
Create my own websites and programs.
Favorite music, movies, books, shows, artists, games, people, events, hobbies, etc.?
I really like the action/shoot-em up movies. I don't really have a favorite movie, but the Bourne series is definitely way up there. I own a PS3 and like the games like COD5, BF:BC and am very anxious for the release of COD6 MW2 (release date 11/10/09). I wouldnt say a hobby so much, more of an addiction is my computer. I love and it spend a lot of my time (maybe a little too much) on it. And to end it all off tennis is my preferred sport to spend a little time playing.

Question Everything: Butterfly Dream

"I dreamed I was a butterfly, flittering around in the
sky; then I awoke. Now I wonder: Am I a man who dreamt of being a
butterfly, or am I a butterfly dreaming that I am a man?"



In my World Studies class today we were talking about Daoism and were discussing the butterfly dream, this made me think back to this video back from 2000. I challenge you to question information next time you watch, read or hear anything. You never know what is reality and what is not... Continue

Confucius Thought of the Day # 5

Thought provoking discussion in my world studies class today. We spent most of the period talking about how things are viewed depending on your beliefs and where you stand.

Confucius: "Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it"

How Does It Work: Learn How To Convert RGB to HEX.

Have you ever wondered how the RGB to HEX conversion works? I was wondering how a person could figure that out the other day and this is what I learned:

Lets take an RGB Value of 231, 56, 78. The first thing we have to do is we have to turn each of those values, the R, G and B, into a binary octet. So to start lets take a look at the R value of 231. When we convert that we get:

11100111

The next step is to take that and cut it into two 4 bit chunks. This gives us:

1110, 0111

Now we need to… Continue

Running Linux For The First Time

Ok, I finally got my butt into gear and I put ubuntu on a disk and am running it now while I type this. I actually, dare I say it, I actually kind of like it so far. It appeals to the developer inside me. So being brand new to linux I was wondering if anyone had any good resources for learning there command line and scripting. Thanks much.

If you are going to do Cisco, i suggest you search for "Cisco training" on Youtube, or similair search words.
