If you’re like me, you absolutely hate having to read XML all on one line, or poorly formatted. Whats the best way to clean up markup languages you ask? Tidy, of course! But, tidy likes to add weird formatting, HTML, etc, and pretty much mangles any XML that it touches…
Well, here’s some settings for your Tidy INI file which will prevent this from happening. Apply these settings to your Tidy configuration file in Notepad++ (Directory below), and reload the program. Then select Clean Indent XML from the Tools/Tidy menu and you’re on your way to non-mangled beautiful XML in no time! Keep in mind though, this doesn’t fix structure, just whitespace, garbage in, garbage out.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\plugins\Config\tidy\TIDYCFG.INI
[Clean Indent XML] input-xml: yes bare:no clean:no fix-bad-comments:no fix-backslash:no indent:yes indent-attributes:no indent-spaces:4 char-encoding:raw replace-color:no wrap:0 wrap-asp:no wrap-jste:no wrap-php:no write-back:yes
So far, not good enough…

I recently downloaded the new album by How to Destroy Angels. This album features Trent Reznor and two other people, one of which is the chick singing and the other, well, who knows what the hell he does.
Basically, if you extrapolate the junk that was Ghosts I – IV, and add a female singer, you’ve got HTDA.
01 - The Space in Between 02 - Parasite 03 - Fur Lined 04 - BBB 05 - The Believers 06 - A Drowning
I’m really not sure why they called this a different band. Every song is full of NiN music, audio samples, sound effects, etc. The ONLY thing different is the female singer.
Trent: I have a great idea! I’ll make a band with two other people who will provide creative inspiration!
Chick: Hey, I’ll be in your band. And here’s some dude who also wants to ride your coffers!
Dude: Mumble mumble
* 3 weeks later *
Chick: Hey, Trent, I was wondering if we could add some stuff that I usually like to do? Like some synths and beeps or something.
Trent: Listen here chick… We’ve already got enough of your voice, shaddup.
And the rest was history. Ghosts was the first NiN album I ever bought to be honest… At that point in his career the money was all him, I liked what he did with the revenue model, I like how he broke away from a commercial label, etc. The music has just gone so far downhill.
Also, you’re probably thinking this is a terrible review on the EP… But not a single one of the songs sounds different. Can you possibly describe one of the six tracks in a way that differentiates it from the other five? Of course not. Before leaving hate mail in the comments below, you will be required to first differentiate one of the tracks.

Boy was I excited when I found this:

If you steal something from me, like a bike, I no longer have a bike, but you do. If you download a song, a movie, or a program, the manufacturer still has the same amount of CD’s, DVD’s, and packages sitting on their shelves. For this reason, digital pirating is no stealing.
I’m a software developer. I once had someone pirate an application that I had written. The $800 application was purchased once, and used for three different servers by three different companies, but I was out no less than I started. It really wasn’t that big of a deal.
Would I download a car? Hell yes I would.

Bad Charter, bad…
I beat it in 16 hours. That’s like $1.25 an hour.
This game is not as good as the first STALKER. They do add some new gameplay features (the environment changing features like time and weather are awesome), but the gameplay isn’t as long. It doesn’t feel like a whole new game. If you loved the first STALKER, go ahead and buy it. If you liked the first STALKER, find a different game instead.

I don’t know Facebook, what DOES Vin Diesel, Lady Gaga, and Avril Lavigne have in common?
