Same for me, but I've also gotten rear ended twice in mine so its resale value is terrible. It drives fine, and I still get 41mpg on long trips and 34-35 around the city as long as I'm careful.
I'll be driving this car until it's dead, then I'll buy a jetpack.
I had the exact same thing happening with my old 7900gtx. It only happened that way in STALKER, other games suffered from typical texture artifacting and sometimes geometry artifacting. I had come to the conclusion that I had one bad vRAM module on the board, because even after liquid cooling the card and running it under 50C the artifacts did not go away. I should mention that the memory was not liquid cooled, only the GPU.
I have an 8800gts (refurb. replacement for my 7900gtx) that runs awesome. I bought my brother a 8800gts 320mb version which gets regular artifacting in games, but from what I know artifacting geometry and textures are usually a result of a bad memory module.
I can agree on this point. I have a EEEpc sized laptop called the Acer Aspire One (about $330 on Newegg). It comes with an 8Gb SSD which is more than enough for what I'm doing on it. I have a small server at home which has shared network drives and from which I can stream music and videos, so I don't run into storage space issues at all.
16Gb is definitely not enough for most people's needs, but I think at this point SSDs lend themselves very well to portable computing. The laptop is almost dead silent, very shock resistant, and its networking capabilities make up for most of its shortcomings.
It still is all scan line rasterisation (it's a REYES renderer). The renderman spec recently added a trace command that you can use within the prman shaders, but it's only ever used for those specific edge cases where rasterisation isn't going to be up to the job (i.e. reflection and refraction).
I've thought that they should implement the same thing in games. I remember looking at screenshots of Quake III and IV rendered with ray-tracing and thinking, wow that looks like shit. Then I saw some screenshots which included lots of shiny reflective objects and it looks incredible.
I think ray-tracing is a big step up from poorly done specularity to mimic reflection, it would be cool to have that in a game without being too expensive performance wise.
On sites like Craigslist if you look under the free section you see stuff just like that all the time. It sounds like a good idea if you want to make sure the stuff gets used and not just thrown away.
I can agree that shooting and archery can be more a test of skill. When people say they shoot or hunt for sport I take it they mean for fun or for testing skill.
As far as curling goes, if you can include hockey pucks in the definition of "ball" then you can include curling stones, unfortunately...
Weight training burns much more calories than cardiovascular training. As an amateur body builder I know that many competitors don't do any cardio at all during their weight cutting phase, or simply use cardio as a supplement to their training.
When you weight train you burn plenty of calories, but the major advantage is that you continue to burn calories for the several days. Breaking down your muscle tissue causes your body to expend calories in order to repair and strengthen it and this process really takes up to a week.
In addition to that, for every pound of muscle you gain your body requires that much more fuel to nourish it. So more calories end up being used instead of being turned into fatty tissue.
I guess what I'm really saying is I think you are right on.
Actually the only mental problem he had worthy of attention was ADD, apparently.
From TFA:
She noted Davidson had been diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. A condition of his sentence was that he undergo mental health counseling..
So they can try the burn and rip method to remove the DRM. Either that or they can start downloading torrents of all their legally purchased music, just so they can continue to use it.
I know many good cops, and know that not all cops necessarily like each other. But when anyone in the department starts taking heat from the public, it makes the cops band together, including all the dicks and Rambos. They make it out to be an us vs. them scenario.
It would be nice if they saw the blog and decided to look into corruption instead of trying to shut the blog author up. But it looks like it is just another case of cops protecting their own kind, even if that includes the scum.
I was curious, how does routing through the proxy affect your connection speed? Does it take a pretty severe hit or is it just about as fast as normal?
My friend uses a laptop style touchpad ever since crushing his hand in a security door. The one he bought has small sections around the edge of the surface which can be used for scrolling, and there is software so you can disable this or change the function of these sections.
This article has me interested in trying out Windows Server 2008, but it depends on a couple things. I googled a bit and couldn't find a few things out about the OS, like whether it supports DX10, which are important to PC gamers.
I did read that you can enable things such as AERO glass in WS2008 just like you could in Vista, so this leads me to believe that DX10 may be a feature. But another thing I wonder about is driver support for typical gaming hardware in the 64-bit OS.
One more problem I could see running into is the licensing restriction. The WS2008 licensing seems much more stingy than XP or Vista because you can't transfer it to another computer at all. I haven't yet found anything on upgrading, so I don't know to what extent I could swap hardware without breaking the license.
Does anyone have more insight into this?
Either way I think I will be getting the 60-day trial to play with.

Considering VIA is one of the top makers of boards for very small form factor PC's and mobile electronics that makes no sense.
Plus you can completely gut and upgrade a desktop for $300 that will blow an $800 laptop out of the water.

Don't make me call some police mans to come beat your ass...
"The repair technician that installed the software has done this to at least 10 woman and has photos of at least one undressing."
I believe the correct word is womans, duh it's plural.

Shooting, archery, boxing, martial arts, weight lifting/power lifting, to name a few.

Especially after said family helped him escape from prison.

IIRC their XPS systems use the Foxconn hardware as well.

I don't think polar bears appreciate being suckled.
Not in my experience anyways.
