Imma start this out with the absolute best baby costume I've ever seen. Saw this today on another site and bust out laughing here at work. Post up some good ones people!

Wow. In the cosmic scale of things, this friggin' asteroid is coming REALLY close to the earth. It's about a quarter of a mile wide so colliding with us would do some serious damage.

SALE GOES LIVE AT 2:30 PM EASTERN TIME, TODAY NOVEMBER 4TH This is going to sell out I'm guessing in less than 3 minutes. www.tigerdirect.com/sectors/campaigns/hp/touchpad_available.asp?SRCCODE=WEM2874TT&cm_mmc=email-_-Main-_-WEM2874-_-tigeremail I got an email yesterday from Tiger Direct (since I signed up to be notified) that they received a new shipment of HP Touchpads. I've wanted one for a while now, at the "firesale" price of course, but I don't know if I'll jump on this. I pre-ordered a Kindle Fire for Coy and I to use already but I know that Cyanogen is working on porting AndroidOS over to the Touchpad which would make it much more appealing. Anyways, the b…

For my last assignment in my English class I need to make contributions to a wiki and then write about my decisions. I have started on the fallout wiki and am looking for opinions on what I have so far and suggestions to improve on. Here is the first one I have wrote: http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Scorpion_poison_grease

What's up with this game? I know it has something to do with Valve, but other than lots of people talking about it I have not a clue (clueless). I'm assuming the people that are playing it is in some kind of beta; thanks.

Thanks PK for helping me get my Gamercide account working. The email associated with it is gone and I couldn't remember my password. But yay, I'm back now! Really not much to report, I have a 14 month now and he can reach my keyboard which he tends to do whenever i type, so I don't internet as much as I used to. Miss you guys!

There’s more than one way to stick it to The Man. There’s civil disobedience, subversive propaganda, political art, outright violent revolt--each possessing its own degree of difficulty and consequence. In a decidedly 21st-century twist, team of German hackers bent on fighting the powers that be has chosen a rather ambitious means of taking the power back: building a hacker-owned and -operated space program, complete with a constellation of communications satellites beaming uncensored Internet to users on the ground. The Hackerspace Global Grid was borne out of a call to action at the Chaos Communication Congress in Berlin, where hackers of all stripes gather to mull the …

Hi guys, Ive been AFK from this site for too long, and I forgot how to add images to my signature. Can someone help me please? :3

Where were teachers like this when I was in school? http://kotaku.com/5890278/samurai-yetis-and-ninja-werewolves-how-one-teacher-turned-sixth-grade-into-an-mmo Good idea to get kids motivated.

In what could be the world's first climate-induced migration of modern times, Anote Tong, the Kiribati president, said he was in talks with Fiji's military government to buy up to 5,000 acres of freehold land on which his countrymen could be housed. Some of Kiribati's 32 pancake-flat coral atolls, which straddle the equator over 1,350,000 square miles of ocean, are already disappearing beneath the waves. Most of its 113,000 people are crammed on to Tarawa, the administrative centre, a chain of islets which curve in a horseshoe shape around a lagoon. "This is the last resort, there's no way out of this one," Mr Tong said. "Our people will have to move as the tides have rea…

Earlier this week Comcast came under fire for possible net neutrality violations after it was revealed that streams of on-demand video that it delivers to subscribers via Xbox Live won’t count toward its monthly 250 GB bandwidth cap. Well, the way Comcast delivers that content hasn’t changed, but the language it uses to describe the delivery method has been updated, perhaps in an effort to draw less attention to the issue. For those who forgot, the pertinent part of the FAQ previously tried to distinguish its VOD streams from those of competing video services like Netflix and Hulu Plus, saying that its content on Xbox was “being delivered over our private IP network and n…

http://penny-arcade....evelopers-and-p I don't care for Kuchera at all, but I like this article. I love that Valve's sale basically saved the developers of Jamestown. I know I was one of the people that picked it up during the summer sale.

My nephew just returned from Afghanistan I guess the army did a story on his return. He has had a rough time but has turned it around.

Not much of a selection currently, but thought some of you might be interested. http://www.gamersgate.com/VOID To add: The above doesn't say it, but my email said specifically the ads will never bug you while gaming.

Famous Russian singer and internet sensation, Eduard Khil, passed away today (whatever time it is over there) at the age of 77. I know he had a really bad stroke last week and wasn't going well. Looks like it took a turn for the worst and wasn't able to recover.

Inevitably knew this would happen, but damn... really sucks for the employees Source: http://kotaku.com/5978429/this-is-the-letter-that-thq-sent-to-employees-today To All THQ Employees: We now have the answers we've been seeking through our financial restructuring and Chapter 11 case. While much will be written, here are the facts of the bids and auction that occurred t: Yesterday morning, we received a competing bid for the operating business, along with Clearlake's offer, and numerous offers for separate assets. During an auction process that lasted over 22 hours, the final conclusion was that the separate-asset bids would net more than a single buyer for the majority …

Kashmir Hill covers privacy issues for Forbes magazine. She does this job very well. She is, in fact, so dedicated to her beat that when she had a few hours to kill while visiting Utah she decided it would be fun to go take a look at the massive data center that the National Security Agency is building about 30 minutes south of Salt Lake City. Officer #2, who seemed slightly older than the first but who also carried a little green notebook to record what we had to say, told us he would like for me to delete the photos, and mentioned that it would be easier if we did and that we could be charged with a crime for trespassing and for taking the photos. Honestly,…

We should. I'm dying to see if cable or network news will soon be airing similar segments. Doubtful, though!

Happy April Fools!
