My son plays FiveM almost exclusively when he is on the computer gaming. He has been enamored with it for years now. As a parent who is also a gamer, I can't help but chuckle when I hear the conversations going on between everyone. Although it is not my cup of tea now, when I was that age, I would have killed to have such a world available for me to engage with.

Thank you for such a killer "side" project!

Feels like IRC with Trillian mixed in.

Pretty funny the iterations chatting over the internet has went through over the years. Feels like bell-bottoms just came back into fashion.

Just wanted to say thank you as well for this. Great tool! What are you future plans for it?

Why is ColdFusion always the ugly red-headed stepchild? I realize that the amount of people using it in comparison to PHP is very low, but it still exists! Can we get some love?

Wouldn't it be better if he was only holding a small 6" long stick, the kinect tracks that, and digitally adds the extended lightsaber? Maybe this was just his step 1.

It would minimize the destruction caused in your home from swinging around a 4' stick.

I'm not sure if you are joking here or not -- but, if you've played with the Kinect on a 360, you'd note that it can recognize your hands, and only when you hold your hands out for a set period of time (2-3 seconds, cannot recall exactly) the Kinect wakes up and begins to allow you to input controls.

It's nice to see that there are still some people out there that use (read: admit using) CF.

I personally use it as my primary language as well, and have successfully used it at every company I've worked for. I'll admit the tag based syntax is pretty ugly, but you can kick out some great apps with it.

Continue to perform contract work with the company that offered you the position. Explain to them why you are making the choice. If they have been successful in dealing with startups, they understand that it takes a person who is following a dream to make one happen. Don't take the salary job unless you really are strapped for cash, and/or have a family to take care of.

I had my own home-built mp3 player in my car as well.

I removed my center console, and rebuilt a new one, that housed a complete computer inside it. Recovered the console with vinyl, ordered an IR receiver, got the Winamp remote control software, that translated remote buttons => keystrokes. I had it where it loaded Winamp on boot, plus my playlist of all my songs.

The only thing I never did was purchase a visual interface for it. I just had a sheet of paper printed out, with all the songs, and a # to the left of them. I would type in that number, and the song would start playing.

Very very well put.

I didn't think I'd ever see the name Schlonglor again.

Here's my story:

I used to be a very avid Warcraft II player. I used KALI for the IPX over TCP/IP emulation to play online through my 14.4 modem.

Anyways, I had gotten really good at playing the game online, thanks to Schlonglor's guides along with lots of practice.

One day I had just finished playing a game, and beat the other person. I started chatting when them, when they told me that they were pretty new to Warcraft II. I asked how they got into it, and she told me, her brother was the Schlonglor! At first I was floored. I couldn't believe it. We talked for quite awhile, and then shes tells me that her brother is there. She then asked if I would like to play against him. Of course I accepted!

My hands were literally shaking at the thought of playing against one of Warcraft II idols. We start playing, and I work faster and harder that I've ever played in a game.

I instantly could tell this guy was him, because the way he played was exactly like all the screenshots I had memorized of his games. (Wayyyy before YouTube, so there were no videos.)

The game progressed, and long(ish) story short, he made some heavy attacks on me, killed my base, and assume he had won. Moments later, my real army and real base that I was hiding moved in, and crushed him.

He was asking me.. "How did you do that??" "Where did that all come from??" I had the most s$%t-eating grin on my face. I was so proud that I had beat him.

He then tells me that he hasn't play for the last few weeks, and was out of practice. I didn't care.. I had still just beaten the Schlonglor!!

Him and I proceeded to chat it up for awhile. He congratulated me on the win, we parted ways, and I never heard from him again.

Soon after I put down the game, figuring there was no way to really beat that experience.

Good memories.. Thanks for bringing them up Alex :)

I'm sure this is just one of many to come. I doubt anyone on their netops team would agree 1 site is suitable.

I'm really really excited to get mine. I've had the 3g Iphone for almost 2 years now, and I cannot wait to stop using it.

Maybe its just the developer inside me screaming, but I cannot deal with Apple and how they deal with the guys who are really making the iphone popular -- the programmers.

sp332 please have a seat right over here at digg.com

I said, a run of the mill name and number could net you a dollar.

These names/numbers aren't. Granted lots of people use bogus names and numbers, but the vast majority aren't going to that purchase an item of this value.

Yes, before you say it, I realize that nobody here does, and nobody you know does, and blah blah blah.

In the real world, most people do. I wouldn't be in business if they didn't.

I'm going to go with a crappy response, from a clueless person.
