    Just heard about K2 today. Supposed to mimic the feeling you get from smoking weed, I guess, but is 50 state legal. Anybody ever try it? The pics look like potpourri. (image hotlinked, so if it's not here look it up)

    WAMP or XAMPP ?

    Been ages since I used either. Was going to install one or the other so I have a local test bed. Open to suggestions. I also have a 1 TB backup drive that I could prolly install Linux on and have a regular LAMP environment, but I'm guessing that wouldn't work very well since it would be a...

    Anybody ever use SugarSync?

    https://www.sugarsync.com/ Dropbox doesn't auto-sync files. Box.net looks like overkill (and I don't think it auto-syncs either) Anybody use SS? Like it? Don't? Why?

    I'm looking at the "Big 3" right now and trying to determine which one to go with. Rackspace - very expensive, are they worth the extra cost? Softlayer - well known and respected, but don't offer managed. ThePlanet - didn't they have a fire? that's all I know about them. Which horse are you...

    Bioshock Infinite

    YouTube- Broadcast Yourself. Set to release in 2012. Fuck. Hopefully it's better than Bioshock 2. I enjoyed 2 just because it was Bioshock, but it didn't have that same creepy cool feeling of the first. This one is set outside of Rapture in a floating city called Columbia.
