Hail to the Pig!

Saw this and laughed as well as share with others.

Upgraded my video card drivers tonight trying to get WoW to stop looking like ass with the colliding textures and the edges of my monitors disappeared. This here is what fixed it.

===============================================================

Solution:

You need to run the install so the files are extracted then cancel setup and browse to the folder "C:\NVIDIA\DisplayDriver\191.07\WinVista_Win7_64\English\" and edit those lines listed below in the file named NV4_DISP.inf.
I am attaching mine already edited and confirmed working for me so you can just replace it if you want to (unzip it and replace). It is for the 191.07. After editing/replacing the file you run setup from within the same folder to install the drivers with the modified file.

To edit manually (Probably works with other driver sets):

Edit the NV4_DISP file as follows. (So unpack the files for install and open NV4_DISP.inf in notepad).

1. Locate the section labeled: [nv_clearRegistrySwitches_delreg]

2. Remove the following lines:

HKR,,OverrideEdidFlags0
HKR,,OverrideEdidFlags1
HKR,,OverrideEdidFlags2
HKR,,OverrideEdidFlags3
HKR,,OverrideEdidFlags4

3. Locate the section labeled: [nv_commonDisplayModes_addreg]

4. Add the customized line:

HKR,,OverrideEdidFlags0, %REG_BINARY%, 5A,63,1F,0F,00,00,FF,FF,04,00,00,00,7E,01,00

5. Locate the setup.exe file in the 'nVidia Drivers' folder and execute. Install as normal.

This is for the Viewsonic VX2835wm and the 191.07 windows 7 x64 drivers only.

You need to replace the first four sets of hex with the ones you for your monitor's/TV's EDID if it is another brand/model.

Hope this helps.

Okay I was looking over the updates on facebook tonight and I saw one of the usual preachy updates. I cannot stress how difficult it is for me to not post a comment to your post consisting of "Hail Satan!". if I want to hear about jesus, God or any other pulpit musings I will set foot in that church place.

Okay so i've been using my snapstream dvr for many years now and have tons of content on it. Now that I got the homebrew app on the wii I can watch all of it in the livingroom too!

This is a picture of me watching adventureland in the livingroom through using the wii.

This movie is hilarious! I went and caught the late show Friday night and can't say enough good things about it. I laughed my butt off. Here is the link to the official site, check it out.

Too late you can't take it back I took a screen shot to prove she said I am funny!

This is going to be a heck of a long entry cause it covers almost a year since I last said anything about movies. Been a weird year with me moving and all but I have a theater close to my house and with my schedule now being more stable I am going once again. I am going to split this post up to movies from the last part of 2008 that I saw in the theater then everything from 2009 followed up with all the movies that were in thee theater that I have since seen on DVD or some equivalent format.

2008
Tropic Thunder "You never go full retard!" This had its funny parts and a lot of stupid. It's a good i'm drunk and want to see something dumb movie.
Death Race I remember liking this movie when it came out it reminded me of that game we used to play across the lan. It wasn't an overly great movie.
Bangkok Dangerous Stoneface is an assassin. Lucky for him he shouldn't have to show more than one emotion for this role. I'd watch it again.
Lakeview Terrace Samuel Jackson scares me. Yeah that is is. Scary black man is scary.
Eagle Eye Mix of a conspiracy theory with computer ai out to kill / control man. I've seen it a few times now on HBO and whatnot.
Quarantine Virus makes zombies. OooOOooooOOoooo. Don't bother although it had its moments that could make you jump.
The Day the Earth Stood Still I don't remember hating this movie but I don't think I would watch it again. Keanu Reeves isn't the best actor in the world in the first place and the script wasn't fantastic. The metal "locust" swarm was a neat touch.
Seven Pounds LOVED this movie. Will Smith has really shown that he can play a dramatic role very well.
Bedtime Stories I knew this was a kids movie going into it but didn't know too much else about it. It was okay I can see the bits of it where a kid would really like but there was enough to keep me entertained as well. It was very similar to Big Daddy.

2009
The Unborn This one was weird, some nazi prisoner ghost was haunting the women of this family trying to cross over.
My Bloody Valentine 3D Please stab the parts of my brain that remember this. I know that 3D movies are the big thing again but damnit just because you can poke a pickax at the crowd doesn't mean you should. Find a better use for 3D than shoving crap in my face.
Underworld: Rise of the Lycans Continuation in the series this one went more into the past of how the Lycans and Vampires assumed their respective roles. Lots of blood and guts.
Taken This movie had me on the edge of my seat for parts of it. I enjoyed it on DVD or was that HBO or something later as well. Either way I have watched this a few times now and will probably stop to watch it whenever I catch it on in the future.
The Uninvited This had a weak plot with just a down right creepy movie attached. The burned up mother was just disturbing.
Friday the 13th Wooooooo remake! It was like the one from the 80's with gratuitous nudity and little plot. Mmmmmm boobs.
Watchmen Comic book movie featuring a giant blue schlong. There was more to this movie like super heroes and stuff but that big blue wang just made me wanna leave. Because of that I rate this chick flick. Add a little of that mosaic action and i'll sit through to the end again.
The Last House on the Left I liked this one. Random murderers find two girls and laughter ensues. Just see it if you get a chance you'll either like it or hate it. I liked it.
I Love You, Man This movie is the definition of cringe humor at points but it really made for a funny movie because of it. I squirmed in my seat a little each time he came up with a bad nick name.
Star Trek WTF?!!?! Uhura and Spock?! What the flying fuck kind of bullshit are you trying to pass off as a classic here Abrams? Alternate time line, okay, the entire senior crew of the enterprise met in starfleet academy, maybe....... Kirk hitting on everything that moved is expected but not that. Just WTF?!?!
Angels & Demons Prequel to the Da Vinci Code. It was a fun movie for people into the whole mystery and conspiracy theory stuff. The bits in there about the Large Hadron Collider and making an anti-matter bomb was enough to pull me out of the movie going wtf but otherwise fun.
The Hangover Go see this. See this many times it has booze and bitches and a surprise at the end for you Zach Galifianakis fans.
Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince The next to last installment of the series and it's dark and oh noes Snape kills Dumbledor. Hermione wants me. I can see it through the screen.
District 9 Robutts from outer space. I was pretty sure I was gonna like this movie and I did it was strange and I want a little robot of my own.
Inglourious Basterds Two words.... bear jew. Damn skippy.
Gamer I thought this was gonna be some crap like Doom but it was actually pretty good and had a cautionary message about technology and just letting people use it without asking questions. I liked the idea of getting myself my very own person to control in a place like the sims. Takes cybering to a whole other level. Really freaky.
Extract Mila Kunis is hot, which is pretty much why I went and saw this. The stupid landscaper guy was just that, stupid. Made me think of other people I know and that makes me chuckle.

DVD
Pineapple Express This is a fun stoner movie similar to Half Baked or the like. I laughed pretty hard watching it.
Zack and Miri Make a Porno "Can you believe THIS shit? That chick frosted me like I was a fucking cake!" Need I say more?!
Inkheart Neat story about characters from books coming to life because the right person was reading their story out loud.
The Haunting in Connecticut The movie was dark and creepy but the story was lacking a little bit. Bonus points for corpses stacked in the walls.
Fast & Furious Okay okay wait a second here you mean this isn't a reprint of the original but a fourth in the series with the same name as the first one?! What genius thought this up? Genius being a very relative term here.
Dragonball: Evolution - This movie is SO bad that I cannot find an official site for it anywhere. The closest I found was this. Clearly fox doesn't want to be tied to this stinker.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine I have no idea if this meets up with the origins of Wolverine in the comics but Stan Lee was listed in the credits so it has to match up somewhat. It was kinda fun to watch but blah also. Gambit was a fun addition to the mix.
Year One I want my two hours back. I am definitely more dumberer for having left this running in the background. What was I thinking willingly turning on a Jack Black movie?

One of my biggest pet peeves other than anonymous cowards is the know-it-all asshat. The other night I was trying to find out why some mail from me was being rejected and was picking over the various RBL check sites when I ran across a weird check for my IP. This check led me a post concerning one of the websites I host. Jonnyx has organized the space and science tracks for Dragon*Con for a long while and does so partly through madscientist.org.uk which is part of my web hosting stuff. All that aside this dumbshit decided he knows how the internet works and how I have my stuff setup and decided to play internet detective badmouthing my abilities to manage a server. Well a quick note to Jonnyx and I feel somewhat vindicated as his response to these clowns was quite sharp. Now to remedy this situation in the future I added a little code to my wilpig.com site tonight so it will be really evident should someone try to hit it by IP again. http://173.14.96.225/

Now to explain my setup. My reverse lookup for 173.14.96.225 is set to wilpig.org because at the time I didn't own wilpig.com AND the main reason is to make the email work as my primary mail server calls itself "WILPIG.ORG". Most mail servers properly setup now reject mail from any source that doesn't have a proper reverse lookup. Now then... if you hit the web server by IP you get wilpig.com not wilpig.org because I would like to make a little money from hosting and page design. So there you have it. My stuff isn't thrown together it is actually pretty well thought out. Previously I had it set to default to http://blueboy.wilpig.org but that really has no meaning to anyone but me.

This is pure win.
