I largley agree with you, however I would like to add that their comentary is hillarious. The only problem I have with them is that they don't quite understand the concept of "Budget."
Half the fun of a new PC is building it yourself. I just (in november )built a $3k machine for a guy who claims he is an addict. He wanted top notch everything radeon 9800 AIW pro. p4 2.8, RAID, 1 Gig corsair dual channel ddr 3700, xp pro (couldn't convince him of something "better"), sb audigy platin zx 2 (or somethin like that.. model names theese days....), and a nice 550w powersupply that made his Lanboy case weigh in @ an extra gazillion pounds. Point being... His machine is still very top of the line, his tech support is awesome, his price was rock bottom (@ the time it was, and still is very comprable.) His machine made a joke out of Fart Cry, and UT2k4 is sweet @ 1600x 1200
All I can say is I am jealous, my pc is a weak 2.53 ghz p4 w/ only 512 ram, and an old geforce 3 ti500 no raid, no dual channel, old a$$ soundcard.
First off.. there are thousands of hot girls @ every college campus. Secondly, that stupid piece of paper gets you a lot more $$ Third the sheer number of girls will keep you from getting prematurely married!
OMG I thought this was normal for stupid people, but I beat you all by a fair margin. Recently I was contacted by a co-worker who wanted me to fix there computer. I asked how old it was (I won't work on anything more than 2 generations old). It turned out to be a fairly nice 1.4 ghz celery from gateway. She kept telling me it was locking up. The sad part is IT WASN'T.
Grand total 1350 items, 23 bad processes and worse: COOL WEB SEARCH. I spent a couple hours removing spyware, updating their machine, and even dusted it. Made a quick $75 bucks, and a happy customer.
I Was once in an engineering study where they put me in a dimly lit room for an hour and told me to choose between real photo's and rendered photo's. This was a few years ago, but it was still very impressive.
They showed us the pictures in sets of ten. When after we were done comparing, they explained that they were all pics in a set were either all rendered or all real. (which explains why i had to pic 8~10 in a row alot) They also explained the purpose of their test which was to create a system for making artificial lighting effects by using simulations of real light. While they weren't quite there yet. I am sure that they are progressing with this technology.
Either way I got VS 6.0 for it, and as a poor college student, it was like three years of christmas @ once! 8')
no, not so fast as far as land machines go, but 5mph! wow, thats truly amazing. And for only 60,000k that has to be a misprint. This is revolutionary, I hope this goes well
'99 Pontiac Firebird Formula (Yes w/the feared LS1). My new toy.
'93 S-10 Blazer. It's paid for so I can really start to screw w/ it. (Don't laugh I have seen pics on the net of theese doing wheelies.)
I like domestic muscle for a few reasons. 1. Bigger compartments make it easier to work on. 2. There is no replacement for displacement. Technology can be applied to both sizes big and small. Gains are just bigger on larger engines.
This isn't hard, and is an old common practice in the data retrieval sector of tech work. As long as the "insides" are good, a new logic board should get u up & running. At least long enough to back up....
I had a bad habbit of naming my characters after the X-Men!
Anyone remember a game for The NES called "Wizardry: proving grounds of the mad overloard?"
True Story, I was playing along one day, when I accidentaly kicked the NES and suddenly my guys all had hexadecimal experience points! My Professor X (the Mage of course!) was a levl 47 Ninja w/ mahalito, madalto, etc..
The only reason I stopped leveling them, is because they tended to age, and your characters lost some traits as they got past a certain age.
I kicked so much !$$ and had the time of my life knowing I could explore the maps w/o being worried about dying.
I tried hard to duplicate the error, at the expense of many an NES.

Which amounts to two questions.
1. What are you smoking?
2. Where can I obtain said stash?
ARE YOU RETARTED?
Farcry is Today, Doom 3 is Tommarow, HL 2 is on the event horizon, serious power req's there....

Did we forget how to set exclusive proxies?
Yeah, like Tasty Wheat.
That is true, no mater how much gas you pour on it, it won't go anywhere... W/o a match that is.. 8')
It was called the party wagon

you get disconected automatically with your inverter when line power goes down
It's Really Easy, you just buy an inverter!
I LOVED THAT GAME.
Had an old Permedia 2 that barley ran it but damn. I loved that game. Stereo effect was AWESOME.

I am just learning vi now. A very interesting utility I must say. TOO many commands, not enough UI, and far to "terminal" looking.
But that said, It works like notepad for me

What if you took a cat strapped a piece of toast butter side up to it's back and threw it outside. would it land on it's feet, or on butter side down?

Terfenol, which is a combination of terbium and dysprosium.
Now we will have to build harvesters, and tesla coils, and send thousands of dogs to the enemies base...

I have had the same problem after I (successfully)replaced the engine in my Blazer, people have been having me do radiator flushes for Lates.

If you could get a honda w/ a 350 ls1
Just tell me you wouldn't 8')
that's cause profit is supposed to be step three, and step one is collecting underpants.
YOU INSENSITIVE CLOD!
