watching the first two games of the hockey here, and would like to share my impressions thus far:
most importantly, U S A
USA looked alright off the bat. Swiss missed two open net goals, which means the game could have easily been 3-3. This is not good. The US offense looks better than I ever remember seeing it, and our goaltending should be pretty solid considering we have three of the best performing goaltenders in the NHL. I'm hoping that they were a little rusty today, and if they continue to improve throughout the tournament they have a real chance. It's also worth mentioning that Switzerland is generally an under-rated team imo.
Canada
Where to start with these shitheads. First off, the great Dominion of Canada seems to like to go throwback style when it comes to hockey tournaments. They take the old British line of trying to screw everyone else. It seems like every time there is a hockey tournament in Canada these scumbuckets try as hard as they can to rig it so that they will have as close to a cakewalk as possible into the Gold Medal. This way they can be the "champions" despite fielding a bunch of mediocre goons. Fortunately they're playing possibly the weakest team in the field (Norway) and couldn't even score in the first period, so things are looking alright. Having notorious chumps like Eric Staal on the squad over grizzled veterans like Shane Doan is a joke at best. How these idiots could let Yzerman pick the unit is pretty laughable.
I mean, this guy basically has the "Nursing Home" defensive line of Niedermeyer and Pronger. It's going to be a competition to see which one has a heart attack on ice first. Then he goes and picks a bunch of fan favorites on the offensive side rather than players who actually have offensive output. Rick Nash, good player? Yep. Playing better than Shane Doan this past year? No fuckin way. Let's not forget Shane Robidas, only the most prolific scoring defensemen in the NHL right now. Nahhhh, fuck it, we'll just have Neider and Pronger out there, in this new politically correct environment the new rules will allow them to spin their wheelchairs around the ice.
St. Louis is also a questionable omission from the lineup. It's obvious they won't take him because he is little (and possibly beacuse Yzerman hates francophones), but the guy puts up numbers, and in the olympic game playing against teams like Russia, speed is important.
Basically Canada is a bunch of jerkoffs and is destined to finally end their hockey reign of terror despite being cheater scumbag losers, who couldn't pick a good coach if their lives depended on it.

Funniest thing to happen tonight, lol. That is all.
at least i worked on my nsd-winnings.. now let me run as expected and itll look sweet ^_^
Also a mate invited me to his private cashgame after he ordered 2 nice pokertables - where we play .5/1€ sh.. some of our girls do the dealers.. pretty nice setup and also incredibly profitable :D
played 2 nights so far and made 290€ the first and 120€ the second night .. its a lot of talk and drink etc. but luckily for me he knows lots of guys who play and got money that ive never seen around so it doesnt feel bad to take their money haha^^
so i figured out how to fix it, assuming ur smrter than the average bear and kept a backup
1) openoffice
2) rename to .txt
3) find and replace using regular expressions
with
(spacebar)(forward slash)t
4) match the early and late file formatting i.e. all the stuff up to the first note, keeping the (spacebar)(forward slash)t that is there, then at endfile keep the last two instances paired, then manual carriage return.
dun!!!!
it 100% breaks if you open it with a text editor and save it with word-wrap on or change the hexbase to ansii or woteva
Downswing reached 9.6k and which drops my roll below 16k so I am moving down to 200nl for the rest of the month. Bright side is the last session just now I felt like I played really good poker for the first time in a while. But ran 1.3k below ev as well as running JJ into QQ, QQ into KK, set into straight, and getting overset. Kinda hard to make money when that occurs. Going in really confident that I will be able to dominate 200nl for the rest of the month.
SNES, GBA games to play on emuby Night2o1, February 16
My laptop doesn't have a dedicated gfx card, so its gaming potential is very limited. I can do reallllly low-spec 3d games but they aren't very enjoyable due to low FPS. So, give me some recommendations for games that don't require GFX cards. GBA and SNES games are good.
I have all of the most famous RPGS for SNES, so I don't really need any RPG suggestions. Platformers are good. I'd like some GBA game ideas especially.
"Today Google was awarded US Patent No. 7,664,751 for its invention of Variable User Interface Based on Document Access Privileges, which the search giant explains can be used to restrict what Internet content people can see 'based on geographical location information of the user and based on access rights possessed for the document.' From the patent: 'For example, readers from the United States may be given "partial" access to the document while readers in Canada may be given "full" access to the document. This may be because the content provider has been granted full rights in the document from the publisher for Canadian readers but has not been granted rights in the United States, so the content provider may choose to only enable fair use display for readers in the United States.' Oh well, at least Google is 'no longer willing to continue censoring [their] results on Google.cn.'"
FUCK YOU GOOGLE you are becoming a piece of shit jsut like the rest of big faggot companies. We need to resist this google taking over the internet and playing a police. OMFG were heading the wrong way.
i'm sitting here in my underwearby sawseech, February 16
it's 7am on tuesday. i've just woken up. my sleeping pattern is, understandably, a disaster. i think that i slept for 14 hours.
i was just smoking a cigarette in the bathroom. for no identifiable reason i started thinking about a hand that was recently posted in the midstakes forum.
the hand went as follows:
hero opens i think k8o otb.
villain defends
K8x
kbc
low pairing brick?
kk
total brick
brR
hero was disturbed and probably folded, and the act of folding ruined his day
he went on to post the hand in the forum.
at the time i had no particular thoughts on the hand. i do now. the hand is irrelevant.
there is no particular action that we can take on the river that is better than the other. no action alters our avatar in the eyes of the opponent. the inverse applies, unless we call and our opponent shows 6 high.
therefore we call immediately and move on to the next hand and usually with no alteration in game dynamic.
it's 7:11. i started to have a panic attack at approx 6:58. it has passed.
Kind of forgot to post a Jan update, but I've got some free time now so figured what the hell better late then never. Was a pretty good month poker wise, mostly thanks to the first 7 or 8 days of the month before I went back to University. School and partying with my buddies alot more has definately cut into my poker time. School is well school... I enjoy spending alot more time with my buddies and partying, but the actual classes are boring/not very challenging so I am pretty much just grinding it out. After I finish this semester, work a co-op the summer, then compelete my final two semesters in the fall 2010, spring 2011 I will finally graduate (Industrial Engineering), then who the hell knows. Just trying to grind as much as I can and put as much money away as possible so I have some options when I am done. On an extremely good note, I managed to get a engineering co-op position for the summer with Mosaic Potash near where I live. I have heard nothing but good things from people who have done work terms there in the past, plus its 4 - 10 hour days so I am excited to have 3 day weekends all summer. The pay is also pretty good(4k/month). Anyways, before I ramble too much, here are the graphs:
I am seriously peeved at interface between users/software/hardware. My relationship with the laptop is seriously irritating this month. First, I wake up one morning and HEM decides to revert back to trial status. It takes up 4 days of troubleshooting on a clusterfuck of googling, post lurking, email, reinstallations, and finally a teamviewer session with support just to straighten it out. That kind of sets me back goalwise for poker.
Just yesterday my google chrome stops working on start up while firefox + IE works just fine. It takes within 10 minutes of boot time for chrome to connect to the web. My tableninja somehow suffers the same problem, god knows how these two problems are tied, while HEM works fine at the time of start up. Still haven't resolved this one so tiltinggggggggggggggg.
So today I'm rockin to music on earbuds when I adjust my seating with my textbook on the cord. I get suddenly blasted by 10,000 hertz of infernal buzzing on the 3rd study floor of a silent library. Sound stops working, so I reboot and apparently had to choose an operating system now every time?
I readjust my volume slider only to find it sliding down from max to 0 in three seconds flat, sliding like a stripper down a greased flagpole. I open up word document and nothing was repeating so wtf? after a full hour of investigation and uninstalling/reinstalling sound drivers, I found out that I SOMEHOW inadvertently held down the shift key for +8 seconds and enabled stickey keys. There goes study time :
Computers are the biggest time trolls ever. Holler if youre with me
