    Yeah, what ^he^ said. He makes such a clear, concise argument, I can't help but agree.

    Maelstrom X works great. And I was able to find the old Simpson sounds I had on the original version, back in 7.1 days.

    Sorry, Mac Guy here. I mean, she's dating the "I'm a Mac" guy and everything. Besides, Portman's too skinny. I'm old enough to prefer women with meat on their bones.

    I wish Drew Barrymore was an emperor.

    Man, seventh grade, I was wasting my time with Playboy mags and coding db's in basic on a Ti-99/4A. Guess Playboy won out.

    They should get the guy that did the Enron Metal Man ad. That totally made sense and sold things.

    Really? That sucks. Time to chrome plates these things, before putting them on the rims.

    I'm not a criminal (yet) but is doubtful I'll ever get a 'new' car. My first car was an '83 Civic, then an '85 Camaro. After that, a '76 Nova, '72 Firebird, '72 Nova, '69 Camaro, '68 Nova, and now a '70 Impala. Seeing as I can't really modify a newer car they way I older ones, I doubt I'll even buy a 2010 Camaro. Now, my neighbor has the sweet '47 Jeepster...

  13. Re:No this a S4 cpu the mac pro is S2 and we need on Intel Unveils 6-Core Xeon 7400 · · Score: 1

    For a lower priced/mid-range machine, Apple does tend to limit things. 4GB is the limit on MacBooks and iMacs. As for PCI, I meant PCI Express. I don't think anyone makes PCI cards any more.

    Now that I think about it, an iMac, without built in graphics and 1-2 PCI-E slots (with horizontal adapter), and 4GB max RAM would be pretty nice. Put it in some kind of brushed aluminum pizza box and you have an instant classic.

  14. Re:No this a S4 cpu the mac pro is S2 and we need on Intel Unveils 6-Core Xeon 7400 · · Score: 1, Redundant

    A mini-tower with a single Core 2 duo would be nice, in the $1000-$1400 range, Room for two drives, single DVD drive, and 4 GB RAM Mac would work. Maybe just three PCI slots, with one spaced apart from the others for larger video cards.

    I steal my computers from really rich orphans. 'Course, if they have parents, it takes just a little work and they're soon orphans.

    I only respond to authors with blogs. If a person just wants to work and create stuff I like to read, I'm not going to joggle their elbow unless they invite comments and such.

    Could you pack these critters with other dna sets (lichen?), so that if they do survive a landing on another planet, and start to flourish, we might introduce a wider variety of life?

    Heh. Always makes me laugh, hearing the name. I've been using Gilmoure since I started gaming, in late '70's. Means 'dark star' in Elvish.
