To hell with Dell, we test the components because we don't want the customer comming back demanding a machine if something's wrong.
If you bought a grill that said pre-assembled on the box, and when you brought it home, you had to set it up, would you not be mad? That's why we do the CDRW speed tests.
What if the Timer only fails half the time? Or some other percentage. On the DFI AM75-TC, unless you set some settings in the BIOS correctly, the timer will fail, which can cause later fuckups.
Extended memory. You wouldn't believe how many times people came in with people complaining of their machine freezing up. We throw in our tester program, and it tests the RAM, and the last block always fails on the chip. They got bum RAM, so whenever they hit 112megs usage, it fucks up, but anything below that is fine.
Yes, I can PHYSICALLY build a machine in under an hour, unless I'm dealing with customers at the same time. I can get the OS install going (my boss doesn't want to go with ghosting for some odd reason, I've stopped arguing with him) in under an hour. But there's no way I can do any of the extra stuff, and that makes me better than Dell.
I work in a "truthful" repair shop, and there's no way you can get a machine ready in an hour. You're forgetting TESTING the components, setting up extra shit that people want (DVD programs, CDRW programs, running the speed tests on CDRW programs, AOL).
At the shop I work at, we do a standard testing of: CPU NPU Timer RTC Base memory Extended Memory Hard Drive and more.
I read 1984, boring book. Telescreens, which was the word you were looking for, could already be in place with out you knowing it. If I were you, I wouldn't have sex with some strange cowerker in the apartment above an "outlaw store."
Fuck major OEM chains. And yes, they do, on laptops. Unrelated but you didn't say desktop only.
I was building at 800 because I was designing a music system, and it didn't need much more. It's in a decent motherboard that can go to an Athlon 2200 and above, so they have the choice to go up that high.
Bullshit. Spyro was for PSOne, and I played through the game on a burned copy, and there were no missing keys. I made the copy myself from renting it and doing a 1:1 CD Copy.
script kiddies are getting younger by the day. one of the clients at my computer shop has a kid whose about 9 or something and he rolls his own viruses using scripts. makes me life easier/harder. easier as i get more money, harder because i need to go through everything to make sure nothing is infected.
Comparing it to various sources (CDNow, etc, my own copy), it's not even the right track listing. One lists one song "Without Me" twice, another is a remix album, and another (the closest), has the right tracks, in the right order, but with the skits ripped out.
For a decent looking case that has decent cooling options (so the room that it's in doesn't heat up 10-20 degrees over every other room) as well as being soundproof or sound absorbing. I don't want to do watercooling and other such things because I don't want to turn my case/area into something frankensteinish. I'm looking into small cases (1u or 2u) that can double as set tops, and just throw in a decent processor and underclock it or something. Ideas?

"Mozilla/Netscape cant render page X"
Maybe it WOULD render page X if you stopped using IE and wrote that same msg to the site owner
Not really. I have a page that will render right in IE but not in Moz, mainly because Moz doesn't seem to support the backgroung = fixed property. (Yes, I know that's not the exact code, but it's 6.30, and I'm late for work.)
It's vaporware just like every other story on new removable storage media featured on/. I want to see one of these discs as well as a working prototype before I believe anymore.

No, I don't sit there and watch the tests.

You can do that already with low level formatting, no?
No, it's simple.
Brittney has breasts.
Moby has a bald head.
Which would YOU rather look at?

I don't trust those in power. I just don't care anymore. It's not a life worth living if I have to live it paranoid.

...if you don't have anything to hide?
Funny, I sell new D800's at work in built systems. Hell, I was building one yesterday!
No on 9, I hope so on 10.
Dude, my friend's mom plays DDR along side me and him, she's like mid-40s! She can do hard "Basic" songs that are rather fast, like Afronova Primevil.

Conic sections are the tools of the devil!
I just took my Algebra 2 final today. I don't think conics belongs in Algy2, maybe more in Geometry.
Middle school can go from 7th to 8th grade, or 7-9, or 6-8, or 6-9.
Sure, that worked until they changed the cartridge design and the slot "concaved" in instead of creating the "lock."

He's racist against white people :P

Ever hear of the Stomping Grounds? It's in Minneapolis, Minnesota. My friend in that area has been there a couple of times, says it's damn fun.

(go ahead mods, mark me as flamebait)
... why not just ignore that and try to enjoy the damn movie you just put $7 down for.
TV Wonder is just a TV tuner on a PCI card, enabling one to use anything else as a video card.
ATI TV Wonder is where it's at. I believe GATOS works with it (for *nix compatibility).
