yeah thats the thing...wed prefer our country to stop sucking BEFORE it gets worse, as opposed to it being so bad it gets put on your list of shitty places to live somewhere between Japan and Tibet.
i donnt remember a damn thing about what i learned in HS chemistry when it comes to battries, why is is that they have to have such regular maintenance to last longer?
im getting ready to move from desktop to laptop, but its because the only reason i had a desktop was for gaming. otherwise i browse the web, email, gaim, play some mp3s or small videos, nothing intensive enough to need a fast hard drive (or a monstrous one) or a dedicatred video card. i prefer a desktop, but since my ex is taking it, a laptop will be a nice change, let me move around the house a bit or go outside and relax.
but when you really need power, theres no doubt that a desktop is the way to go...but alot of people dont *need* all that power. im going to miss it though
but what do you do for all the people who dont buy a pc....but buy parts? an extra buck a part? i know were in the minority, but i havent bought a new pc in years and years, i upgrade and upgrade, or rebuild and upgrade more.
bt.etree.org also tracks torrents of alot of jam, jazz, bluegrass and other bands. i often prefer live cuts of most of the music i listen to, when the artist is into the music the live cut of a song is usually better than a studio release, and to hear them play your favorite tune 6 different ways...for free...is great.
and because i can listen to the live music for free, it gets me interested in attending their concerts. hell, attending a live show that you love, and then downloading it on BT a few weeks later is fantastic.
which answers the question: whats more pitiful than a computer nerd whos way too into scifi?
the person who makes a bot to get the attention of said nerd for the sole sake of making him use his moderator points on slashdot on and old comment from another story.
indeed, i have a 19" NEC CRT and i love it...but i got it because I game. well, i used to. i havent much lately, and if something happened to this id probably get an lcd for the hell of it.
i think he said something about the pig-filth filled water that i get to look at here on the pamlico river in eastern north carolina, parts of which are so full of this "muck" that you could stick a full grown man to his shoulders in it without touching solid ground.
some places are beautiful still, some look it, some are being restored...and some are disgusting.
Im staying, shes the one running away. trust me, kids come first as far as im concerned, but thanks for the heads up. By free time i meant i wont have to waste an assload of time on the wife anymore; which I had been doing.
Now i can do things right, the first time, when they need to be; instead of wasting it because of her.
people get stuck, make bad choices, dont know what to do....or cant.
im married, with 2 kids, and 22 years old. i dont like my job much, but i cant really do much else...
welli couldnt, were separating,so iin the massive amounts of off time ill have now, ill probably take a second job trying something i may like. us humans screw ourselves over, the problem is i didnt make the obviously right choice that got me into a bad place to begin with.
that would depend on costume, there is a noticeable difference between the two, and the imperial ones have been around alot longer....can you even get costumes for the new ones i wonder? im sure you can, but they are more likely to be called clone troopers than anything else.
every time i see a movie or tv show with a number of people firing in the air, i hope for a moment that the director will call realism onto the scene, and show us everyone being shot to bits as the lead comes down.
indeed, if you want a cheap mobo, get a used name-brand one. Id gladly pick up a used Epox or Asus board if the Asus Im using right now died on me, and I wouldnt have a complaint about price, or concern about quality.
Anything made in the last few years is usually thoroughly reviewed on at least one hardware site, if not several; and checking support forums for something old will let you know what to expect...how to fix it...or if its problem free. The Asus I have (A7N8X iirc) has been stable and trouble free since the day i bought it, and the Epox I had before that was the same until i tried overvolting...but that was my fault:)
my brother has gone this way since he started gaming heavily last year. i always gamed during school, but i *usually* made a habit of schoolwork first, gaming second.
my schoolwork didnt change any, though it was never spectacular, but it didnt go down. My parents wont do anything about my brother and its going to ruin him. They started homeschooling him...then got busy and are never home, so he wakes up at 10, starts gaming....has lunch....keeps gaming...until he goes to bed at 11 or 12, he does next to nothing most days.
They complain, but dont want to hear me when i tell them one of them needs to park their ass at the house and teach him something.
Do yourself a favor, dont puss out and make it an accident. Lock it down. Tell him no games for however long, until his work improves, then after that youre going to regulate it. Schoolwork stays good, then he gets some gaming time. Youll only be hurting him to go behind his back and lie, without addressing the problem.
i never knew about netflix, despite them showering ads on sites i frequented for months...and i mean *never* knew about them. i didnt even notice bright red ads saying something about movies. i read a review of them linked from somewebsite once and have loved the service...but i never ever once noticed their advertisements

if by "medical attention" you mean jergens lotion and by "commercials" you mean pr0n...well...ive seen it, and given mine all due attention.

or christian whitaker, who lived down the street from me as a child...man that kid was a prick.

having your left hand and memories of pr0n to keep you company is hardly what i call winning.

i would imagine it was an excersie that took about 30 seconds for the teachers to come up with and little else.
