LMAO, no, just been there done that too many times...including getting drunk arse last weekend, and this weekend (though I had a knock out brawl over very intense angry verbal vollies with my friend, the d**khead whom I make wine with...that's a whole 2 pgs of rants in itself...I'll spare you)...

No I think you're missing the most important part, it sucks to be like a guy on the catwalk of a fashion show, being judged for your impressiveness level. I'm not a glutton for punishment, and I don't want to be in the 'competiton' for who's the best guy who can impress women. I'd rather not...

Ok, so what do you think of this, her online pix from a fashion site, she wore these to Hollywood club parties and industry fashion shows. Yet, because she grewup in the midwest, was about the only ethnic minority amoung whites, she was subjected (and rejected) to prejudice. But she's only dated...

So how do you pickup women at Malls? You just walk up to them and start talking to them, you'd have to have a ton of self-confidence to do that. And the slightest amount of nervousness will do you in, some will think you're desparate or creepy. Gyms, Spas, health clubs? Well you DD, maybe in...

Well at least you got rid of L for less than 50; that one had trouble written all over from early on, glad you *think* you're luckier with K. But I hate dating with a purple passion, most women drive me nuts with their insecurities or overbearing egos; the ones between that would probably work...

It was just a joke, re: hiking thread poll (think tongue & cheeky), and also, damn women (forget what RJ says, he's a died in the wool womanizer like SC ;) ), who cares if they are insecure, but so much so they lie through their teeth. Problem is, you don't know when that lying will stop, "oh, I...

Save money, take tour of Asia for 2008 Olympics, suck in smog that will damage your lungs; visit Kobe, Japan...see female owner of 'escort' business...I'm sure we can find some woman to talk to Merc, also dorogoi; but worth it ;). Oh how we miss Prof. Wizzer, he would complain about multiple...

Sorry about the "IIRC" Leica, it was of course Contax. IIRC (it means what is says, btw) somewhere in this thread or another, someone bought a camera from one of the listed 'bad guys' above ;). And take a look a zipzoomfly's reseller rating (select low-high ratings display), or adorama which...

Hmm, IIRC there are only the Canon 1D, 5D, & Leica dSLR with full-frame 35mm sensors, of those only the 5D is under $3k. Going OT as far as the P&S debate, film is still better by far-not just by the resolution factor, for a given situation (technical debates ;) ). This is clearly illustrated...

For the best kind of protection, spend twice as much for a true 'online' UPS. You are running off the battery at all times, there is no switching time. Lowest price I could find with a quick search would be for some no-name? Avaya 408427656 1000 VA Online UPS w/Embedded SNMP Card ...

Hmm, I would pass on the D40, and spend more money for the older D50...read the comparisons and you'll see why (if you know your photography). Too lazy to check the 3 big comparison sites, but the Fuji F30/F31 (face recognition on the F31) will take ISO 800 pix almost as well as the D50, and...

Ok, what about T6 with an dimmable ballast from Icecap? T6 are easily obtained in 'daylight' (and I think full-spectrum versions). I'd have to check with the acquarium forums where most of my knowledge comes from (haven't visited in about a year). Icecap 660 ballasts (I think they came out with...

All this unhealthy food here, while it's not cooking, how about starting your meal with a Isalata Caprese? You must have bufala mozzarella though, non other have enough flavor. TJ's in the states wher some of you live has a brand that is $3 cheaper than the normal $8+ price of this imported...

Not to bring up old wounds, but I just LMFAO reading that old Bose thread. Particularly since Prof. Wiz was speculating I might even be close to being Merc (over on SR, when he and his buddy x***x, where claiming I was stalking them on SR, because I disagreed with them regularly). I can't...

damn, 5 min. edit window! IIRC it's a late model Golf, but I forget if it's the GTI/h.o. engine?

Insignificant reduction, if jtr's calculation (how did you do that btw?) is correct. Depending on the vehicle (push rod, slow rpm old style Amer big V8's an such, this would make a difference, with overhead cam designed smaller engines that are not feeble econobox models, 5krpm is in the normal...

Not if you have broken fingers/hands, or other incapacitaing injuries, unless you have ViaVoice or some other voice activated dictation software. "this doll is a virgin" LMFAO, from tonight's Boston Legal epi. (it's and inside joke...maybe only valid to me).

Well I was thinking more along the lines of reasons because of 'driving' (accident while flirting @100 ;) ) or 'pleasing woman' :owneddnce:(what a stud/ladies man, and especially with those jealous husbands) could both result in being in the hospital with broken bones/hands such that internet...

LOL, supa dave, I guess you forgot about the posts jtr & I used to do on that 'other' site, don't get us started ;). You know jtr, I think you can get quite abit of Asian programing on cable in your area, and some of it is in HD...yummy :). You don't need 1080p, except in rare instances of...

Forgive my ignorance, but other than telling you which logical (or do these represent actual physical machines?) addy's the data is passing through, what does the tracert tell you [u]usefully[/i] about data throughput? Same question for the ping, do these tell you about a single random packet...

Well now that you've got that off your chest... (j/k not trying to be flipant, just need to lighten the mood sometimes, even when you feel like sh*t). Hope can feel up to posting a few times now and then jtr, between dealing with 'real life'. For some reason, I thought you might have an...

Oh crap Chewy, see Mercurtio's latest...if you want to feel better ;). But, however, LMFAO...if only we could get jtr in here to comment! (not to diss jtr, just he's got his own unique perspective, different from ddrueding, or others, maybe something close to how I think *oh no!*. But right...

The search engine on SF is your friend(oddly enough, this thread is currently right above a certain Handruin thread ;) ): Another Digital Camera Thread - Point and Shoot You can get the F30 (note the limitations in the various reviews on it, if you have PS or other capable image editor, you...

I am not at liberty to say why exactly jtr hasn't been posting in a long time, but he was at a time going to write something about that reason here. Me, I'll be lucky to hit 100 here, and I have my doubts I'll be posting to SR again, now that IMO, it's really gone down the tube/toilet over there...

Really WR, maybe you are confusing me with Handriun then, lol. See this thread, and who started it, lol storagereview...where is it going these days? At any rate, the comment was made in reference to Gilbo's posts here on this thread, and his new found excitement over SR. Maybe you are...

It sure does kind of depend. Depends on what benchmarks you are using. Depends on how 'sensitive' you are to these things, what type of use your system is regularly subjected to. If you use PS, and you're hitting the HD virtual mem. cache, yep any improvement in drive performance is going to be...

To better understand Gilbo's "woohoo" respones to Eugene silly rant of 'this is my forum, stop that shit, or you're out of here' (without giving an meaningful guidelines or specifics...which is very typical of an Eugene response/answer/statement with respect to his biases in his 'vision' of...

Oh....'da weather' :) (my favorite thread on SR, except Eugene's turned into even more a censorship freak as of yesterday, than more conservative attitude of this forum)...anyone else think SR is going down the tubes without any new reviews, while wasting time 'monitoring' insignificant B&G...

I'm on my 2nd Hitachi 5k120 drive which was manufactured in Thailand like the 1st, just one month apart. It's clicking just like the 1st one. Really sucks, probably same problem WD's or older Seagate or was it Hitachi's were having in earlier gen. drives (last year, I forget when I read about it...

I had an abscess develop out of a dead root, required somewhat painful root canal, and then visit to specialist oral surgeon to suck out all the puss above the dead tooth. If I had waited longer (avoided seeing the dentist until there was an ever increasing sore spot above the dead tooth) the...

Oops wrong link (though you still might find some good answers there, some very knowledgeable members, professionals, etc). This is the mother of all audio-video sites, only 8.5M posts, lol. http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/

PITA, all the formats of Hi-Def, audio & video; incompatibilities, upconversion/downconversion, weird aspect ratios, proper I/O connectors, etc. Sometimes you just want to turn on the TV, the old crappy kind, listen to mono, eat hot dogs & pizza with beer/wine, and brain veg :) . 4k HD in...

*update* & rant I hate hard drives! The new 5k120 60GB is only a week old, still in the FW case, and it's developed an old 'dull' clicking sound I guess when the heads park after read/write operations (blinking of the FW case blue LED). Since it did not make this sound for a week's worth of use...

Umm, not to be cynical or anything ;), but didn't you say the same to that secretary of yours a few years back? And, what goes around comes around, what's good for the goose, is good... You dump one woman, cause you don't know why, but it just isn't a thrill anymore. So in another, oh I dunno...

Yes Seagate & Samsung have announced intent to ship hybrid drives in time for Vista, with Samsung more bullish on the possibility of using up to 4GB of NAND. Neither 2 or 3 are likely (particularly 3 since NOR is basically like the CRT, at the EOL stage as tech moves on). Premium? Not in mass...

Use SR at your own risk? Major clean up did not get done in time, and as I mentioned in my post to the B&G, SR (Eugene & sivar) did not do much by merely shutting down the forums for 'maintenance', without timely alerting people that there was a potential dangerous problem (should have been on...

That was fun (took 14+hrs to get the slowly dying Toshiba to clone to the new drive partition ;-) ). Samsung's USA site is not very helpful, only the MP0804H model is searchable and shown to have just a 12 month warranty. Yet zipzoomfly.com lists the same (all of them actually) model as having...

If you drop it, you should not expect the manufacturer to cover your arse with warranty. Sure you will drop it at some point, but then again at some point you will also die...life insurance, lol. Get a SSD if you beat the **** out of your laptop, drop it from more than 4 feet onto concrete. Ok...

"I'm not really in the loop as far as notebook drives are concerned". Me either, but I just bought a Hitachi 5k120 60GB to replace an old and possibly one leg in the coffin, Toshiba 4.2k 10GB from *gasp* 2000. Trying to repair it this week...not fun, so I can do a normal clone to the new HD. New...

Singing, but supadave will not be interested given the price, and current preoccupation with obtaining new living arrangements, yes? http://www.dvnation.com/ssd.html $1800 for just 32GB, wonder how much this company is gouging for the 64GB version...if you have to ask, you can't afford it ;)...

Well you can mirror 2 160GB drives in the Alienware also, if that's what you want. I was just thinking about the portability factor of a laptop. Maybe this will do then, same concept, just AC only. Sort of like a Mac Mini will a little more features, but still crappy Intel GPU (not for...

It would be helpful if you specify a budget constraint/or range, yes? You can do pretty decent modern gaming with an expensive laptop. Most all of the higher-end Nvidia mobile GPU's are set up (some ATI) to run Apple's (and now other makes, since they can get the same screen from the...

Yes but if you read my post after FS's, you'd realize that FS had complained early last Fall about the lack of reviews and turned in his moderator mantle because of that (well the guy have multiple excuses for many issues, and then says I'm a 'psychotic rants' poster, and then 'sivar' or...
