If you are playing a Death Knight in WoW, make sure you read this. In fact, Elitist Jerks is THE place to look up the theorycraft and rotation.

Good article "5 Gadgets You Can't Skimp On (And How to Save Money Buying Them)" on Gizmodo. I got my Shure E2c earphone for 40. I guess I am on the right track. They also mention why u should spend the money on video card instead of CPU when comes to laptop upgrade. The laptop memory part is what I did too, buy the cheapest memory from the manufacturer, then upgrade yourself. Man, this guy is a genius!!!
Auto Industry Planning Car Pool to Washington
Personally, I think we should just let them declare bankrupcty. They have been failing for years. We should give the CEOs penalty for failing to lead the company. Look at them flying in pirate jets to Washington and asked government for billions. If I were the one deciding to lean them a helping hand, I definitely say no. It's like you come to my house riding in a ferrai and ask to borrow money so you can go party. NO WAY!!! Fire all these shameless CEOs and let the government take over. Soon we will see more and more nationalize business.
How many companies can the US government bailout because of their failures? We need some sort of regulation to stop all these nonsense loaning. It's totally bad business practice. How can you give out loan to people and don't check on their background?
Series 2: Hotel Bargain
Next thing is where to sleep. Even I am poor, I don't want to sleep under the bridge in such a cold weather. I suggested Montbleu(CASINO ding ding ding) to them after I saw a post on fatwallet, but the rich manager said it's too far to the ski resort so we rejected the idea.
So after a day long of research, rich manager came down with 5 choices for us to pick. I ranked them in bed avaliability down to comfort and last is price.
Rich manager surprised I ranked the cheapest place last. So I had to justisfied my ranking. I claimed if we living that far from the resort, I would rather live in Montblu which is just next to the cheapest hotel (which is their sister hotel).
So the executives went to check out the casino website and found the price is really attractive. After the executives reviewed the business requirements, they decided it's the place to book.
So it all came out to be around $96/per night to book through the hotel website, which is at least 30 bucks cheaper than the other 5 hotels the rich manager suggested.
But wait, one of the executives asked me for the final time if we should hit the GO button. I thought it's already a good deal, but since the people above me want me to do one last research, I went ahead and did a search on google.
First I found a better deal from some website which has it for ~$85 a night. People are all excited. Then I found a even better deal on cheaptickets.com which offer 30% off for booking 4+ night.
With such a huge difference, we didn't hesitate to booked our hotel at 60ish a night. (REMEMBER the AA price gouge????)
Series 1: Flight ticket Bargain(SCAM)
After a long struggle to find the right price on the flight ticket, we finally decided to fly out on the 28th.
I spent the whole afternoon on Tuesday looking for the best deal, finally I decided to book my ticket through Orbiz @ $233. After I put all my info (including credit card) and click the submit button, they rejected my order saying the package is not avaliable at this time.
I was like WTF? Then I tried it again, FAIL again. So I asked my friend who booked the tickets thru AA 2 minutes earlier than me.
So I went ahead to AA website and search for the tickets. Man, the price jumped to $244 from Hou to Reno (it was $96 for that flight). I sweared it's the same flight I've been looking at for 4 hours while waiting for all the people to confirm the date and time.
GOod times good times. I can't believe I am the victim of this stupid scam. Fear of more price gouging from AA, I went ahead and booked another flight with the same price. so instead of leaving houston in the morning, I will be taking the 5:35pm flight. I will be missing the whole day action. I guess more WoW for me.

This is some kind of thing Vista SP should take care of, but nope... need to find your own solution:
By Group Policy:
1. run gpedit.msc
2. go to [User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Explorer]
3. double click [Remove CD Burning Features], choose [Enable], click apply
By Registry:
1. run cmd.exe as administrator
2. reg add HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer /v NoCDBurning /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
WoW was down most of the night last night. From the blue post the mail system was screwed up and all the mails in the mailbox have been disappeared. After hours of hours waiting, I ended up playing Ninja Gainden II on my Xbox360 for quite a bit. Man, that game is freaking hard.
Anyway, I went back to my computer around 11:15pm and Ty has already logged on playing. (I think Ty is more addicted than I do. :P ) When I was about to head out questing, shxtty Scribble msg me saying that there's some Season 2 pvp gear free to pickup on Dark Iron. I quickly switched there and went to Champion's Hall. Man, that place was packed. I couldn't even target the NPC that selling the gear. After a long struggle, I gave up and log back on Spirestone and checked on if there's free loot for my toons there also. Wow... my lvl 60 warlock could picked up the whole Season 2 pvp set. That's the whole night I've been spending, log on different toons to get the "free" gear. Ty even made a new hunter to get the free axe.
I can tell you Dark Iron has too many shxtty alliance. They jumped around on the NPC, casting AOE spells, dancing, summoning their stupid pet, anyway you can think of so other people can't get their loot. Why all these !$@#$@$$% idiots?? That's why alliance suck in pvp, they don't corporate. They don't listen, they only worry about their own benefits. SOB....
After a few hours of trying and running around, I finally got both my warlock and priest full Season 2 pvp gear, shammy picked up the helmet, and hunter got the offhand axe. Woot!!
I am pretty sure Blizzard would take care of their mistakes and took the gears away from us. But hey, it's worth a try, isn't it?
Poor us. We were at Illidi Council on Thursday night and wiped for a few times. Then Curse of Comcast hit one of the household and disconnected 3 of them at the same time. Good times good times. We were unable to find healing replacement so we had to call it it. That's conclude our raid. How sad it is. I want my 2 piece Tier 6 bonus!!!! I guess no go for poor Gnomi.
I found out another dummy mistake. My warrior has 2904 Arena Point. As of today, each piece of armor cost 1500 arena point. I just waste 1404 point for nothing as Wrath arrive. Shame on me not paying attention. There's no way in hell I can get 96 more points as Arena Season 4 comes to the end. Damn it!!
This is a good article/tutorial on N52 noob.

Everything comes to the end. Tonight will be our final raid day for Burning Crusade before WOLK coming out. It's been a long and enjoyful 10 months of raid. We have progressed from 10 man Karazhan run to a 25 man raid in Tempest Keep and SSC.
Along this 10 months, people come and go. Some retired from raiding, some move on to enjoy their life with the family, and some get recruited to a more serious raid team.
Mount Hyjal is nothing hard except the last boss. We struggled our way with Archie in MH and Bloodboil in Black Temple. At times I thought we were not going to see all the Tier 6 contents as frustration and growing pain caught up with some of us. At certain nights people just not showing up for raid as they know learning boss fight is not something fun to enjoy. We have to call the raid and the people show up would do something on the side like ZA or random heroic instances.
Then patch 3.0 released. Blizzard nerf the shxt out of raid content and raiding becomes fun and enjoyable again. Although most of the fights are still more about execution then dps race, we managed to finish all the T6 content and it's all under our belt now. At the end, we killed Illidian and Archie. We are certainly feel good about ourselves.
What to do next?? Wait of WOLK expansion to come out and leveling my toons. Hopefully Akumanozeto can keep up with me. His wife has all the power.... I feel for you, Akumanozeto!!!
This company has tons of activities to keep Jon happy. First it's team building at the countryside club house.. It's like working half day, have free food and... OPEN BAR!?!
The pumpkin chunkin contest is pretty fun, as each team get to build a catapult to shoot pumpkin. Our team almost won.
Jon only had 1 beer and 1 magrarita so I don't fail in front of my boss.. lol.
Then Thanksgiving lunch is coming up next. More free food!!! I wish they give me more money instead.
Heard that Christmas party is on the Dec 20th. I hope they have better food selection this time at Hilton America.
