http://www.buzzfeed.com/robinedds/the-most-wonderfully-scottish-things-that-have-ever-happe I'm not one for posting one-link threads, but this.... wow.

whitelisting is easy Anti-grief is hard without plugins. but!!! I can start working on the mysql database for all this ASAP, regardless of mod status

Ah, that's one thing that annoys me, I've never finished a race. As soon as second last place finishes the game stops giving a shit about me .

that would require both of us to finish the race. let's not set the bar too high.

Actually had a great thought, 1v1 race is brilliant, at least this time when I come last I can say I finished runner-up.

we should maybe just do one lap. that's all it usually takes for me to secure the loss. it's possible i may not even finish. [i'm kinda off and on the rest of the week with the Red Sox playing, but if you're online this weekend i'll probably see you. should be epic.]

I accept. Dude, you have no idea how bad I am .

And I thought it was just me, I'd crash into a tree in the desert!

Got another problem now. When I reply to threads my reply box looks like this The font looks like the old Courier style, all the formating options are greyed out and unusable, but when I post it's like normal I know I've probably clicked something but I just can't work out what!

You mean you don't like Mingecraft?

Oh please tell me you didn't mean that On a serious note I'll do what I can Dave

Especially me.

pooped my pants. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6qD-Io2l1Y things look much better when they're not set in the 40's i think.

Hello gentlemen! I don't know if you guys can remember me but I played a bit on the forum server a while ago. Is there still as many players active on the Minecraft side of things?

No pro perks. No perks doing multiple things. I like it. I also like once you unlock something. Perks,guns, and such they are unlocked for good.

Holy hell Bee's, with your luck if you fell into a pool of shit you'd come out wearing a new suit!!

I don't know if its much of a story, but I've increased my net worth by a fuzz over $200,000 since I started keeping track in '02. I grew up without much money and was completely ignorant as to how to handle it. At that time, I had owned three Camaros and a Corvette (one at a time, I traded "up" often), was about $36k in debt, and living off of the GI Bill and an entry level IT job. I was actually living off of credit, but too ignorant to realize (or possibly to depressed and drunk to care) the long term impact. For person reasons I think I've explained in the past, I wanted to hit the "reset" button and went overseas as a contractor. I was instantly making a lot more money and having a lot fewer temptations to spend. I realized that I now had surplus money and had no idea what to do with it. I decided I should educate myself and started with Ric Edelman's book, "The Truth About Money." That book fascinated me and lead me to "The Richest Man in Babylon." Both books contain the simple concept of "no matter what you make, someone is getting by on 10% less. Find out how, live like that, and invest that 10% in your future." So, I did. Because I seldom half ass get interested in anything, I continued to educate myself. I read more books, I took online classes, I subscribed to a few periodicals on personal finance, etc. This was the single most important thing I've done educationally speaking. Now some will doubtlessly say, well of course its easy to increase your net worth when you suddenly get a high paying job. is is easy to continue that when your pay is cut dramatically? Because that's what happens next. I contracted for two years, which let me put the lid on a lot of my debt and get some emergency savings put up. I came home with about $40k net worth, including the equity in a house that I put a reasonable down payment on, cash savings, and the starts of my investment funds. When I came back stateside I worked two part time jobs. My total income was less than $22k for the year, and I had a new wife and son. I still increased my net worth by $5k that year. After that year I got on the police department, which required a move to a new city. While the salary was reasonable (especially after the first two years), I couldn't sell my old house and it sat on the market for a year. Plus I had the expenses of moving. I reluctantly became a landlord. Today, not including my pension and 300 hours of accumulated time off the dept has to pay me for if I leave or retire, my net worth sits at around $165k. $8300 in ready cash, $66,000 in stocks, gov't bonds, and other investments, and $91,000 in equity in real estate. I have one property paid off, and two still with a mortgage. The only non-mortgage debt I have is my 2012 Dodge Ram truck loan at 1.39%, the first brand new vehicle I ever bought. Not bad for a single income household. Some of it has been skill and education, without that I couldn't have continued to be disciplined and invested, but I've also had some great luck. I've wasted money, I've made mistakes, but overall the past 10 years has been a success. At this point in my life, I could save more if I wanted to, but I've struck a nice balance between saving for the future and spending on today, but without the knowledge and discipline that would be a lot harder to do.

Most likely not exciting for you blokes at all, but here is my FUCK YEA!!!! Years ago the Dept of Education created the "90/10 rule" "The 90/10 rule requires for-profit colleges to get no more than 90% of their revenues from Title IV federal student aid." For years now at work, we have been asking the bean counters to let us run the numbers for this, but they wouldn't, it was to important for "IT" to get a hold of, and to screw up. There was also some moaning that SQL databases couldn't handle the # of equations involved in this and only Excel could accurately handle it. (Actual quote from the head Accountant, OMG I laughed so hard, in his face when he said it to me. So the Accounting department created this huge series of spreadsheets that pull data from our Financial Aid database (SQL), then they perform this huge series of really poorly written calculations against it, and let it chug along. A 3.2ghz quad core, 12gb Ramm system, with nothing on it but Office, takes about 36 hours for Excel to finish running and spit out the final answer. God help you, if you try to even move the mouse in that period of time as the whole thing could screw up. Figure this thing is parsing a grand total of 556732 payments and invoices, sorting them down into one record for every student for 40869 total records (Yes, these are actual number of records). Then it Codes each item to what type it is, and then tallies it all. From there it starts breaking things apart by Pell, Sub, Unsub, Credit Card, GAE, DANTES, Cash, Scholarship, etc... Super complex to say the least. About 3 weeks ago, I finally had enough of all the bitching about this report, and how hard it is. So I swiped a copy of all of it, and I started recreating it all in SQL. I finished it Wednesday, and presented it to the Presidents Council yesterday morning. While there, we all caught a change from the DoE that was missed and that I didn't know about. They asked me to correct the report and come back next week when the re-run was complete. I changed it on the spot, reran all the numbers, and had a new answer for them within 5 minutes. The accountants didnt' believe me that it could be run that fast, so I ran it again with them watching. And then again, and again, etc.... It only takes about 27 seconds (Depending on server load) for SQL to do what it took Excel 36+ hours. They were not happy with me to say the least. But my boss, and the CIO grabbed me for lunch and want to send me to DBA classes so I can be a proper SQL admin.
