It's about the owner of a gaming company, and he knew he was going to die, so he has all these programs running to check for his obituaries, and it sets forth a big series of events. I really liked it.

Well at my job we pay whatever the current prices are from our vendor. CDW seems to have pretty reasonable prices, and we do a lot of other ordering from Newegg and Border States Electric (they're regional to up north by MN, IIRC.) so we get pretty good prices as far as I can tell. Sounds like the OP needs to talk to some vendors.

Totally off-topic, but I'm going to be living in Fargo in less than a month! I'm about 3 1/2 hours away, currently living in northern Minnesota. I'm entering NDSU as a freshman pursuing a double major in CS and Criminal Justice. Good to know that there are /.'ers in Fargo.

No kidding. The finer points of the GPL are lost on me as well, but god damn. The guy is actively trying to fix the problem with FFmpeg and I'm over halfway through the thread and they have been nothing but unhelpful assholes to him.

Root your Android phone and then you can remove it.

I'm not a cell phone guru, but it's something like this: 3G is a "standard" (not an official one IIRC) of how fast data transfers are on a cellular network. If a phone is 3G capable, it supports these faster speeds. The GSM spectrum is divided into different bands, depending on where you're at in the world. Eg, a phone that gets 3G service in the US most likely won't get 3G service in Europe. On the flipside, you can get 3G speeds on CDMA networks (VZW is CDMA) but it's more commonly referred to as EV-DO. 3G is just a measure of potential speed for the most part.

I just have my SSID as "dontfuckingusethis"..

OH SNAP!

Do you know where you can purchase previous generation MacBook and MacBook Pros? The current generation (not these new ones) fit the bill nicely for me and I would imagine that they're discounted since the new models are out.

Now if we could only ban "v6".

Yes, I prever v8. It tastes way better.

You do realize you can block Facebook apps, right? I haven't seen any Farmville shit in any of my feeds in a long time.

It's like saying chlamydia is a normal part of having sex. It's only if you hang around with the wrong type of girl

I wouldn't go that far - your mother is a very nice woman.

The parent made a joke in reference to the GP's post. It's a joke! God damn, just laugh! It was funny!

I was started out on $8/hr pay from my high school when they hired me on as a tech assistant. 8 dollars an hour sounded pretty good to a high school senior. (This was last summer, I'll graduate in 2010)
