Have any of you used any of the password collector/protector type services?  If so, which one would you recommend?  I've finally (grudgingly) acknowledged that my password schemes aren't secure enough, and to make them secure enough, I'll never be able to keep them all straight in my head.  So, password vault type service it is.

By request, here's the new concert thread.

Ok, I really don't feel like doing any homework, so can someone please hand me an answer on a silver platter?  My video card is about to crap out.  PC is a few years old.  Current power supply is rated at 250W, and most of the video cards I find are rated at 300W minimum.  Two questions:

1. Do I really have to have a 300W power supply or are they trying to extort me into buying additional hardware?

2. If I really do need a new power supply, can I just get one and install it, or will it fry my motherboard (see comment about current power supply being rated at 250W)?

Yeah, the subject says it all.  Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I can't remember if I posted this question before, and I'm just too lazy to search for it.

The Clash of the Titans remake...

Io tells Perseus that the head of Medusa will kill anything made of flesh.  Earlier in the film, the Kraken is referred to as a "colossal elemental beast".  As we all know, the plan works.  Perseus turns the Kraken to stone by making it look at Medusa's head.  HOW THE FUCK DID THAT WORK!?!?!?

Am I missing something here?  If it's elemental then it's definitely not made of flesh.  Right?

Looks like I'm going to be in Santa Clara for about 2 weeks at the very and of January and the first couple weeks of February.  You'll have to pencil me in for some meals.   

Okay, I give up...the online Latin to English translators I'm finding aren't telling me what I need to know.  Here's the latin phrase:

Domitus ergo sumus

Here's what I need to know: Does that translate cleanly to 'We conquer therefore we are'?  OR, does that contain an error that someone will point out and laugh at?

First, can I get a mod to sticky this please?

Second, here are the rules.
1. Post a reply in this thread stating your goal.  This can be a certain amount of weight in a certain amount of time, inches/centimeters lost in a certain amount of time, or some other specific (measureable) goal.
     a. If you want to list your starting weight you're welcome to, but there's no pressure to do that (I'm not).

2. Once per week, edit your starting thread to show progress towards your goal, adding weeks to the list as we go along.  Example:

Lose 100 pounds in three weeks.
Week 1: -15 pounds
Week 2: +5 pounds
Week 3: -40 pounds

3. Those of us participating appreciate encouragement, but ask that you keep the snark (in this thread specifically) to a minimum.

4. The "contest" will end in 12 weeks (8/5/2010).  At that time (or before if you hit your goal before then), updated pictures of the participants should be posted to the picture thread.

I coulda swore there was a thread about the movie 300.  Anyway, sometimes I'm a bit slow on the uptake...I just watched this thing.  I have some questions:

1. Why the fuck is Xerxes a giant, flamboyant drag queen?
2. Why does Xerxes' army contain mutant, non-human things?
3. Why do the Greeks and Persians all speak English?
4. Why are so many of the Persians so heavily pierced?

In short, "A man was been arrested after police said he used counterfeit money to purchase fake OxyContin pills from an undercover officer."

Observation: If you buy fake drugs with fake money, should that even be considered a crime?   

I'll be in Los Angeles in mid-April.  Anyone up for a lunchtime field trip and a meat-space meeting?

About the only positive thing I can say about him is that Dobson is a man of strong convictions.   

I'm going to be in Vegas April 2nd, 3rd and 4th, and I'll be in Portland April 8th, 9th and 10th.  Anyone around here gonna be in either of those places?
