So it seems they are quite common in the west. Has anyone in the east (especially south-east) seen them in stores, or is the west coast getting them first?

Im an old NO member, and while it had it's share of idiots, most of those were paintballers trying to get their jollies off while they were still lodged firmly in their pelvis, and my memories from there are almost all a plesant group of folks sharing ideas and a few laughs. Most of the posts I read here have little point and aren't entertaining. Mostly they are a waste of bandwidth. Truth be told, I don't check 80% of the topics here once I've read the initial post, if then.
Hopefully, once karma is in place and idiots are dealt with, the Haven will be able to bond together a bit more. At least, thats my hope.
I think the idea is that we can test karma with people the admins are already (somewhat) familiar with to make sure its working properly. Its dumb to try to calibrate a new device using an unknown variable.
Oh, and LastMan, cx said in the second post linked above that users will start with 50 points on a 1-100 scale, though of course by now he may have changed his mind.

If you don't have an account now, you're not likely to have one until Karma is done and fully tested.
I think you guys must have missed that part. Registration will be opened once Karma is done. Seems like a sensible solution to me.

Most that I've read seem to state that mainly incase of them not having any to give out. But the one I linked above I've spoken to two people who have completed it and recieved the 40gb iPod.Actually, if you read the EULA on most of them, (iPod ones especially) it will basically say that they are not forced in any way to send you anything other than spam and other unwanted crap like spyware and worms.

Many are legit. One good one is the Free Photo iPod offer I'm currently trying to complete.
Actually, follow my referral link so you can sign up for your own, and help me complete mine.
The way it works is you have to complete 1 offer, then get 10 other people to do the same. Its pretty nice, since there are offers like Blockbusters free online trial. You get movies, you get credit for a completed offer, and it doesnt cost you a dime.
Anyone willing to help me knock this puppy out, it would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone know if stores in the South East have gotten the Mav yet? Due to automotive troubles I haven't left the house since shortly after Christmas and, thus, haven't made it to Target.

How are minigames useless? I love em. Spent more time on minigames than the main game. Good way to kill some time.Yeah, although, SM 64 DS has a lot of useless mini games.

Ballguns usually dont release air fast enough to fire darts well.If you crayola barrel basically anything but a pistol, you need to add 1/2'' pvc over it. I thought all you guys new that. That helps the accuracy on higher power guns that need longer barrels. But my point was can you make ball shooting guns shoot stefans with a crayola barrel? Can you make high-powered missle shooting guns shoot stefans with a crayola barrel?
As for a larger missile type gun, I would imagine the original barrel would be far too large to use a crayola in. You would have to bridge quite a gap to seal it.

If your crayolas arent helping there could be two problems that I see.
First be sure the dart fits in the marker well. Obviously, as with any other barrel material you need a good fit. Also be sure the marker doesnt have any obtrusions inside it. Some markers have ridges that you will need to cut out.
Second be sure the barrel is sealed well with the marker. I wrap the base of mine in electrical tape, then if needed wrap the rest of it in duct tape. The electrical tape is smooth and makes a good seal, and the duct tape afterwards will help to keep the marker straight in the barrel.

Hah, thats why I waited till after my finals to get new games. The way I figure, there is enough time in x-mas break to beat the games once, so then I will only drop to Ds instedad of fail.I asked my parents not to get me GTA San Andreas. I just know that if I had it in my possession I would fail all my classes. GTA Vice City did enough damage to my grades when it came out.Yeah, that Bob bush site is shit. I saw the red state/blue state map, saw it was inaccurate, and closed my window.
For Xmas, I got I'm Just Here for More Food by Alton Brown, Revolver and Abbey Road, two huge containers of Nutella, GTA San Andreas, and DDR Extreme. Those were the highlights at least.
#45099 Whats Your Favorite Line Of Nerf Guns?

General Nerf
Either the N-Strike or MaxForce (that was what they called the animal themed ones, right?)
The N-Strike was cool because it started in the old days (remember Roto-Track?) and now has contributed a great deal to the resurgence in Nerf and the revival of my arsenal.
The MaxFoce, on the other hand, is home to the Razor Beast, which sucked but I always loved the style. It also made the Warthog, which is by far my favorite Nerf brand gun. I seriously almost cried when mine died. I used to win wars with that gun alone.
My favorite dart-gun line is the SuperMaxx line. My 2500, 5000 and 500s are still my favorite guns. But it would never be my favorite if it werent for the Larami made earlier guns, so I dont know if I should say its my favoire line of Nerf guns.

The success of Crayolas depends a lot on the gun, at least in my experience. I crayola'd my Roto-Track and got a good boost in range by using micros. My Splitfire with crayolas is also very good. Some guns, however, are too powerful and you will need to put a longer barrel in.

Nutella is a hazel nut spread. Stuff is very good (Tho it seems to be one of those things you either love or hate). But it gives me bad gas, so I don't eat it.What's that? Might be a stupid question...two huge containers of Nutella
I also remember reading that diamonds, with their good conductivity and extremely high melting points, would be good for computer chips.
Yeah, but think how expesive that would be. Also, that's why they diamond coat saw blades and use it in some kinds of big industrial cutting stuff and all that.
Silver is, I think, the best metal conductor, but I'm not totally sure so don't hold me to it. I know it's not gold because it's too soft.

Didnt mean to call you a liar or anything, just saying I've never heard that before and would be interested to know more. I've stated my oppinion on diamonds, so obviously I would like to be educated if there is a side of things I don't know.I read it in a random history book some time ago, I could try to dig it up but I’m not here to prove one thing or another. I believe it to be true weather or not you do is your choice. But think about it, there are a lot of prettier stones why use a diamond. And at one point someone had to realize the cutting capability of the stone so why but a stone on a ring if it can cut glass. That’s enough for me to believe so you can choose to or not, it’s not really a debate or theorem to prove nor discredit.

Ive never heard this. Got a source? I thought diamond's etching purposes were used more for industrial uses. Never heard of lovers writing in glass (which doenst make much sense).Actually the original use of a diamond ring, also know as an etching ring, was for that exact thing. Lovers would use the ring to leave messages to each other in pains of glass, such as meeting places and times. Over the years it has now turned into what it is now. But it doesn’t change the fact that women do love them and that won’t change till something better and more expensive comes around, so buck up fellas it could be worst.

We can artificially create stones that are better than diamonds. Diamonds are not rare. Diamonds have had (until relatively recently) no signifigance beyond industrial uses. There is no good reason why diamonds are priced as they are or held as symbols of love or anything of that sort.And what's your problem with diamonds?
Why are diamonds so important, so pricy? Because DeBeers says so. It's as simple as that. They buy 80% of the diamonds on the open market, and mine 50% (those % are probably out of date by a year or two now, sorry). Then they shove most of it in storage to keep prices nice and high. Throw in ads that say, "Diamonds = Love!" and you've got yourself a successful cartel. Diamonds never had anything to do with love or marriage until DeBeers decided they would.
DeBeers pretty much single handedly invented worth for the diamond in the mid 1900s. Around the 90s I believe they decided that the engagement ring trick was worn out and they wanted to expand their market. Now they've convinced people to buy diamonds for pretty much any occasion, to be stuck pretty much anywhere on the body.
Here is an article about it. There are hundreds of articles like that one out there. If you are curious just give Google a poke. Interesting stuff.
And of course for the politically minded there is always the bloodier side of the diamond industry.
Whew, what a hijack.

I may be going into engineering, but I'm staying as far away from anything with physics as possible. It's all theory, and that doesn't work with me.
