Then leave. Nobody is making you stay.

In Blacksburg, VA here. It's been snowing every other day, accumulating to no more than a light dusting most of the time. But the temperature usually floats between just below and just above freezing in the winter. I'm in the mountains as well, so the weather is completely unpredictable. This whole week has turned my back yard into a muddy mess, which then turns into frozen mud at night. Today, it's 54 degrees out. Just got back from a drive down some back road to nowhere in the 5.0 with the T-Tops out. Gotta say it's been the best afternoon in a long while.

Oh you kids and your fancy pencils. I took the liberty of stipping stranded copper wire, and painstakingly placing individual strands between pins inside the socket of an Athlon XP-M 2600+ to overclock it to 2.8GHz. And we liked it that way.

I think I'll use that picture for the multi monitor setup at work... good shot. Although being accustomed to living in a rural area about 40 miles outside of Washington, DC makes me cringe at the thought of being in the middle of THAT.

California is what we call a state. We have fifty of them.

Chill dude. This isn't an e-penis contest.

Except maybe pretty girls in nothing riding bicycles. =P

I'm big on being with someone I like, even if that means disregarding potential factors such as hair dictating the poor health of my offspring. Not everything is a science experiment you know. If I had a girl turn me down because my hair is short rather than long and therefore I must be hiding something, she is insane and needs a reality check anyway.

Might I recommend the phrases:

Where's the pisser?
or...
Where's the shitter

They work rather well I think.

I did this with my samsung 20.1@1600x1200 (1200x1600 more accurately) near finals back in may. It helped a lot with studying out of ebooks and taking practice tests online. It makes gaming a little funky, but it's not hard to turn the monitor back for a frag session. Unfortunately I'm a fan of 4:3 monitors and it seems a 1600x1200 has become very expensive. :( Even the widescreens with a 1200 or greater vertical resolution are a tad pricey compared to the 1600x1200 price of a few years ago. What a shame...

You're not gonna believe this dude, but someone beat you to the idea of a slotted GPU. Sorry. =[

They put all the pins on the bottom in such a way that it fits into a modular slot on the motherboard and even comes with built in cooling. =]

Car guys aren't supposed to be here?

Ah well. It's been fun. I guess this means I don't have to wipe the grease off my saitek anymore to come on slashdot. Peace. =P

Am I the only one that finds it a little odd that people are interested in purchasing items raided from tombs in the first place? O.o

So true. In my car, I replaced the head unit with a model from Sony that doe stuff like... play CDs. The two biggest requests I had looking for it? The screen wasn't obnoxiously bright and blue so I can actually drive at night, and a big ass volume knob. Conveniently, it is at my fingertips reach when my hand is on the shifter, so looking down really isn't necessary.

Call me crazy, but I think a touchscreen radio/navigation system/TV/WTF system in my dash would be awfully distracting.

... Double Penetration?

Ouch. Yes, I'd say you are correct and I agree with you. Unfortunately, this has also resulted in games being programmed for the Xbox then ported to Windows. This leaves you with clunky interfaces and bugs that are nearly unbelieveable. One good example of this is GTA4. Designed with the Xbox in mind, it's been hell for anyone trying to run it under Windows.

This isn't to say that there isn't hope. I'm just hoping developers will start paying some attention and realize that a console UI isn't fit for computers and the amount of bugs is just unacceptable.
