Can you use a friend's X360 with your HDD on it, download the beta, then put the drive back on your X360?

Yahoo used to be my main search engine a year or so ago as it happened to be my email. Then they started redirecting 4/5 of all search results to sites defined by sponsors.

So I use the far superior Google, only now they redirect the their results now as well. However it's usually just the first click of the first link.

Yes, it appears they tried updating their search engine code and completely fucked it up. Every link of a seach page links to the sponsored link to the right of the results.

Thankfully, they show the URL under each result.

I wish someone had told me that gradients and normals are all the same thing. The only difference is the number of dimensions.

I was voted most likely to become the next Bill Gates.

1) Surprised as hell.

2) I have to go into school today for a picture with "props," which means suit, tie, glasses, and whatever else I can think of for the image.

2x^2 / 4 = x^2
X = 0
and possibly some fraction.

My brother isn't very smart when it comes to geometry. I spent like ten minutes arguing with him over the order of operations (which he doesn't quite understand yet ... <_<).

It would have made sense were it written like so:

(2x)^2 /4 = x^2

My netbook did that too, even though I didn't download the wga update and hid it so I wouldn't download it in the future. I'm probably gonna just install linux only instead of dual booting like I am now once windows actually stops working. Most of the time I log in it doesn't bitch in the bottom right corner about being not genuine, it's very as far as windows validity checking.
