Free Portal to Everyone!

netwrkgamr — Thu, 13 May 2010 01:46:32 +0000

Portal used to cost money. Until May 24th, it’s free. End of story.

Well, technically speaking, there are some strings attached. Fortunately, they’re entirely decorative. We just like the way they look, swaying in the gentle breeze created by a million people simultanously fainting from shock at the news that Portal is free. Now you have no reason not to try Portal. http://store.steampowered.com/freeportal/

Residents in Fishers are needed for on-camera talent in an effort to convince Google to select Fishers as one of its test communities for the ultra-high speed broadband project “Google Fiber”. The Town of Fishers and the Fishers Chamber of Commerce are having a call-out on Sunday, March 21 at 1:30 p.m. in front of Fishers Town Hall.

The Town of Fishers is submitting an official application, and part of the application process is to include a creative video showcasing the community and why it should be selected.

YES, IT IS A 12 STORY BUILDING IN CHINA . LYING ON THE GROUND

    (1) An underground garage was being dug on the south side, to a
    depth of 4.6 meters.

    (2) The excavated dirt was being piled up on the north side, to a
    height of 10 meters..

    (3) The building experienced uneven lateral pressure from south and
    north.

    (4) This resulted in a lateral pressure of 3,000 tonnes, which was
    greater than what the pilings could tolerate. Thus the building
    toppled over in the southerly direction.

    *First, the apartment building was constructed.*

   Then the plan called for an underground garage to be dug out.  The excavated soil was piled up on the other side of

the building.

    *Heavy rains resulted in water seeping into the ground.*

    The building began to tilt.

The building began to shift and the *_hollow_* concrete pilings were snapped due to the uneven

lateral pressures

And thus was born the eighth wonder of the world.

    If the buildings were closer together there would also have been a domino effect.

Now that, folks, is a snafu.

Don’t you feel better now, that these are the folks manufacturing nearly

EVERYTHING we buy and use today? But judge all by one.

Generation Y Finally Explained

netwrkgamr — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 17:02:56 +0000

Hmm, I’ve always wondered this myself… Now I know.

– People born before 1946 were called The Silent generation..

– The Baby Boomers , are people born between 1946 and 1959.

– Generation X , people have been born between 1960 and 1979.

– Generation Y , are the people born between 1980 and 2009

Why do we call the last group Generation Y?

I never did know, but recently a cartoonist explained it very eloquently below…
