  1. Its snowing on me here in Moscow now. I have to work the snow tonight and then drive to the airport at 4 am in the snow tomorrow morning. What happened to the lovely 40 degree plus weather Moscow had for the last two weeks?

    Sometimes I get devilish and think about how fun it would be to necro ever topic in general; but then I think of Draky coming back to power just to can me for being such a twat. I have nightmares.

  4. I hope everything is okay Lilith. I now I'm still worried about you.
  5. Longer does not mean funner to me. If the fight is long because I must be creative to win that is okay. Long because I have to mindlessly bash the mob with my sword for 50 rounds it not okay. Creative would be creatures that are resistant to some forms of weapon damage but vulnerable to others. Or having to put up some sort of magic shield to protect yourself before the creature you are fighting hits you. Creative would be the fights that take place verbally only also. I would so love to just talk down my opponent and win.
  6. Its thesis named like this that make me feel inferior with my Spanish degree.
  7. Wow, I snuck a peek at the video in just the nick of time. Starcraft is no longer about the great story line. Its all about the multiplayer part online these days best I can tell. I guess I'm sad but not really surprised.
  8. I am of the opinion that I could always learn more about the taxation that is in place in my country.

  10. I might be a little late because I have to stop and speak to my health insurance provider to get a co-payment on a MRI figured out. But in the past when I said I would be late I never ended up being late, so I really hope I wont be late this time either.
  11. Its been snowing on and off since Monday where I am at. I had to walk to work in the snow today because driving is just to hard due to the roads never being plowed.

  13. Sweet, I get Fridays off so that still works out great for me as long my uncles funeral is not that weekend. Great, now I just made my self sad.

    After two years...

    If you need help with Spanish just let me know. And welcome back, fully back.
  15. Get well soon. I know what it is like to be out of service from life due to illness and injury and its not fun.
  16. 1. What sound do fish make? a. Dippty-Dat 2. A Hungarian sand crab has gotten inside of your favorite sweater. What tool can remove it? b. a crowbar 3. Gerald refuses to paint his house blue, but the sky is maroon. What time is it? c. the end of the world 4. Given that Albert is traveling from Chicago to New York at 99 miles per hour, Hubert is throwing couches off of the eleventh floor of the tower, and Norbert will get a 17 on his law examination, is the city safe? d. Yes, the lizards have the situation under control. 5. Flogbar the Chromanian is attacking in his spaceship. You have only seconds before he is upon you, leaving you only enough time to try using one of your devices to escape or defend yourself. Which one should you use? e. The reprocessed protein bars, for a snack. 6. You must disguise yourself in order not to be recognized while swimming covertly into Spain. What type of headgear is required? d. a roman legionnaire's helmet 7. You are suffering from withdrawal due to your dental floss addiction. What type of food can alleviate the symptoms? c. Taiwanese flipper fish 8. Carl Orf has escaped! What do you do to recapture him? b. Ignite the oil. 9. Describe the major points of Eleanor Roosevelt's kinetic theory of hats. The major points on the theory of hats was that I ran out of letters "a" through "e" to make a really neat pattern in the multiple part of the test. If the theory could be shown as a scantron on the bill of a bat then I would have marked the bubbles to make a smiley face. 10. Achmed waves his cutlass menacingly. The philistines begin to wake up. You are facing a mutiny on board your airship, high above the camp of the philistine hoard. The engines are overloaded and will explode in just 13 seconds. Using only your trusty radio-swordcane-umbrella, your silly hat, and your toaster oven, how can you get to safety? I fill out the scantron form of kinetics theory of hats that is on the bill of my silly hat. Thus everyone sees two smiley faces as I fly down upon my toaster over to face the uncircumcised philistine army. I use my radio to play Michale Jackson Thriller music as I dance my way through the philistine dogs while bopping them on the head with my swordcane. Once I've bopped them all on the head I hid behind my umbrella and listen to my old beautiful airship make a load boom as the engines go bye bye. Bonus: Determine the centroid of thought and calculate the distance from it to the edge of madness. Show all work, with diagrams. As you can see there are multiple entry points to madness but only one exit. No one has ever gone in and come back out alive due to the ninjas that are hidden in the maze of madness. If you scroll really fast you just might see them before they kill you.
  17. Today the last part for the computer I built for my wife showed up. Its been a month in the making and several problems with power issues but I now have it running stable. Following is the build. Click to reveal.. Cooler Master 370 Elite Case MSI NF750-G55 MB AMD Phenom II x2 555 EVGA GeForce 250 Corsair 650W PSU WD Blue 320 GB HD LG DVD+RW Cooler Master Hyper TX3 CPU Cooler Cooler Master 120mm Case Fans x4 Arctic Silver 5 Corsair 2 x 2GB 1600 DDR3 Windows 7 Home 64 bit EnGenius wireless adapter Logitech G510 Keyboard Logitech MX 518 Mouse HP 2310m LCD Moniter Not everything was bought from Newegg as they do not always have the best prices. Over all its a nice computer that gets the job done. It is also nice to watch movies on too. Way bigger then the 15inch display of my MBP.
  18. Looks nice. What number is the CPU? Also, what video card did you get?
  19. I just don't trust the stock coolers that come in the box with the CPU. I got a cheap CPU cooler like this one here. It keeps my CPU at 29 C at idle and I've yet to break 50 C under a stress test. After owning a MBP and feeling how hot it gets and smelling it burn up at times (I've burnt up 3 logic boards by now) I am just super paranoid about heat issues in computers. Maybe the stock cooler will be fine. But I would look at buying some Silver 5. The type of compound grease does make a big difference in heat transfer from the CPU to the cooler.
  20. Do not forget to get some thermal paste like Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound and to get a CPU cooler that is not the heat sink that comes with your CPU. You want it to stay cool and that should be worth a few bucks to do it.
  21. Originally Posted By: The Mystic I probably won't need the 1000-watt model, that seems way too big. That said, I think I'll go with 600 watts; as for the manufacturer, I was planning to go with either Cooler Master or Thermaltake. Just make sure that it is 80 plus.
  22. Everything for a computer minus the OS, keyboard/mouse, monitor. Everything was taken from Newegg.com to make build that was in your budget. I went with AMD since I have not had problems with their CPUs. Click to reveal..

But never go cheap on the Motherboard or the CPU so that you do not bottleneck your computer in the future. Also visit Overclock.net with questions. They are very helpful.
