While I was in high school, we had some pretty strange things happen.  There was once a "race riot" on the second floor, which I was lucky enough to witness, but smart enough to stay out of.  Basically, some dipshit said some racial bad words and pissed off a lot of people who decided it was as good a time as any to try and beat up everyone.  Needless to say, it ruled.  Another time, there was a gas leak in the science section of our school, so we got to go home, and this was in December, on a Friday, right after 4 days off school for all the snow we were getting.  We couldn't even take finals that year because that week was the last week in the semester; we had to take them the first few days after Christmas break.  Oh yeah, another time, some asshole brought a mother stuffing tear gas canister to school and let it off in the lunch room during lunch.  And our lunch room was a horrible place to be at anytime.  One door in, and I mean one door, not a double door and not an open hallway, this door was closed, and one door out.  Also, the ceiling was open up to the first floor, lunch room was on the bottom floor, and so if anyone wanted, they could've locked those doors and just popped us off one by one with a gun.  But anyway, that guy let that gas go and made a ton of people sick, and one girl even had a miscarriage, due to the inhalation of the gas.  He went to jail real good, luckily, because he was eighteen already.  We never had a bomb threat though, but we sure had a lot of threats about people planning on bringing guns to school and shooting us all, which, like I said, would have been damn easy.  My school even had a list of kids that potentially could break into the computer system and changes grades and all that crap.  My name was, proudly, on that list.  Apparently someone had done it a couple years before and they didn’t want it happening again, so they pretty much interviewed all the kids that were in any sort of computer class and tried to figure out if they could and would do something like that.  I told them I would get to it if I had to chance, but never would have or could have, for that matter.  I loved high school.

I've got a pair of Maxwell NC-11's. You can use both, normal and noise cancelling.  I think they were about 35 dollars and seem to work very very well.  I don't generally use the noise cancelling part of them, because it doesn't seem like I need it that much when just listening to music, but when I fly, which is increasingly often, I turn the noise cancelling on without listening to any music and can't hear a damn thing (those airplane engines are so loud when you are trying to sleep).  Overall, I really like mine and they were pretty cheap and they block out airplan engine noise, so it's all good.

Just a thought - but are you running anything in the background such as Folding@home by standford? I know I cannot play KOTR with that running, it will do the same thing.

That happened with me and Gunbound, Gunbound would comr up and go right back down.  It was the Folding program that was making everything funny.

I've got a WD 250 GB and a WD 80 GB in my 'puter.  The 80 is down around 15, it's filled with TV Shows, and the bigger one is down around 112 now, basically because I've got around 93 GB of music on it.  Other than that, everything, like movies, is on dvd's now.  Happy Thanksgiving!.
