The Corsair CMPSU-750TX got really good reviews back when I was looking at building my own system. What would you suggest would be a better PSU for a system where I'm not using the higher end video cards for gaming?

Yea, fuck you too monkey boy.

Well, 2008 anyway. My AMD 4870's blue screen'd Windows XP and then Windows 7 on boot pretty regularly (and yes, I sent them back for testing but all appeared okay per DiamondMM). I finally replaced them with a pair of nVidia boards which just has the driver bail every once in a while and killed Firefox until I disabled the hardware acceleration option in Firefox.

I'd be happy with a text version of Word Perfect actually.

Yep. I have a first gen iPad and it still works for what I use it for. Forum participation, checking amazon for reviews, recipes when I'm cooking, reading books, browsing gaming pdfs, email, listening to music, and some simpler games. The browser crashes if I hit a youtube heavy thread on a forum or news article but it restarts and works afterwards. I think I just need to back off my apps and stuff again and reinstall the last OS for a clean install.

At least from my girlfriend's perspective this is true. The Indian developers ignore anything she says until it's said by a guy on her team. Frustrates the hell out of her. And she's told her daughter not go to into programming.

Sadly hitting 7 on my desk phone says "invalid option" and restarts the recording.

Perhaps the problem is we men don't have legitimate male organizations that advocate for the boys and men. Women will naturally advocate for their benefit. Alternately the total nut-jobs have made having a male advocate so toxic that we can't have nice things.

Hah! I was working as a programmer at one place writing surveying software (to read data from a Surveying instrument and write it back out to an HP plotter) but I also went out on surveying jobs and one time had to chase cows back to the farm because the owners were also farmers raising cows, chickens, and corn. This was back in 84/85.

I am doing similar stuff at home. I'm taking a break right now from writing code for a work application I wrote and it's Christmas Eve. I spent hours yesterday gaming and today just want to be in solitude thinking over what I'm writing and working on my project.

I've always hated talking on the phone and will ignore my red light on the phone for several days or even weeks. Heck, 95% of the time the "voice" message is *beeeeep* (a hangup vs leaving a message). As to the phone, probably half of the callers are from outside the company ("can I send you a white paper from symantec?"). I always prefer an email or text message at home and just email at work. I leave my IM off at work typically just because of the number of "drive by" IMs. If I bring IM up for a problem where I'm working with others, I'll have 4 or 5 other popups asking me about this or that.
And I'm 57.

You wouldn't like it. Sometimes the guys don't shave.
