Build the highest tower with 99 Bricks - Time Waster
Wrapping your mind around a simple game like 99 Bricks is harder than you might imagine. The object of the game is to build the highest possible tower using only 99 pieces. Sounds easy enough, but you're playing with Tetris pieces and distinctly non-Tetris physics. If you screw up, you don't just leave gaps that you could have used to score points, you cause your whole tower to wobble and collapse.
Pieces also don't lock to a grid in 99 Bricks, the way they do in Tetris. You can wind up with pieces slanted diagonally, and there's an edge of the board that your toppled bricks can fall off of. 99 Bricks is kind of like Jenga, in that it's almost as satisfying to watch your tower crumble as it is to play seriously. Once you get the hang of the way the pieces behave, it's an addictive little game.

Though its use may be 'extremely wicked' (http://www.answers.com/bain), the word bain typically leads to the writer's ridicule as most readers notice they meant to type 'bane' (http://www.answers.com/bane).
:p j/k

Does the beta auto-update to the final release? I've had the beta for a while, but I ran the 'check for updates' feature and it told me that my windows media player is already up to date.

All the more reason to use Firefox 2 for its inline spell checker feature.
Personally I can't stand WMP11, the organization of music is inefficient, at least compared to iTunes. Searching also seems to take too long showing results, which is complicated by it also searching on URGE, which I don't use and don't intend to.

I just installed WMP11, and it seems mine is using alot of memory than RyanCarter's. My taskmanager shows Media player 11 (wmplayer.exe) using 22Mbyte RAM when playing music or radio, it used about 17Mb when idle, but on top of that there's also the WMP network service (wmpnetwk.exe) that takes up another 21Mbytes.
And surprising to said I also installed Ms Desktop Search yesterday, and its using huge amount of memory, windowsSearch.exe 18Mb + SearchIndexer.exe 33Mbytes!!!! Anyone else's systems begs to differ?

I seem to like what they done with WMP11, but just don't understand how i could get back to the default mediaguide when i first started WMP11, which it shows the mediaguide to fill up the whole WMP windows. but now after i clicked it, it is now media guide with some empty space on the right and long list which i scroll up and down...
BTW, anyone had experience with Google desktop search or Corpenic desktop search? does it use less memory? I also want to be able to customise what it can search, don't one someone coming by and can easily find stuff on my PC which are located someplace else :P

I was excited about WMP 11 and used it while in beta. I fell in love with it until I realized they removed the ability to back-up licenses! That's right, you can NOT back-up or restore your licenses with 11. So if your HDD crashes, or you upgrade to a new computer you're toast, unless you use URGE of course, then you just redownlaod.. hooray for options!

Sorry, Matt, but I call BS on your comment. How anyone can find WMP11's interface or music organization inferior to iTunes' is completely beyond me. iTunes' multi-pane mail client style interface is a mess, and collapses under the weight of a huge (10,000+ songs) music library.
It's nice to be able to type the first few letters of a song title and instantly see it appear immediately, have the program automatically update every song' information and cover art in the background, etc. The only problems in WMP11's interface are predictably carry-overs from previous versions [e.g. the ineffective breadcrumb system (why it isn't the same as Vista's?) or the playlist pane].
Also, integration with Urge is completely optional. You can simply choose not to install Urge integration and select from a dozen or so other music download services instead. It's nice not being locked into one music download service or one media player (scowls angrily at iTunes).
I'm running Vista RC2, and WMP claims my version is up to date. It appears WMP11 on Vista is a different version from WMP11 on XP because my version is 11.0.5744.6324 (includes Vista's build#)
