I'm sure there is a 5 minute period where we can edit posts, but where is the edit button?

Ugh...2:30 AM and I just finished a very, very long day. Bedtime....

One of the advantages of being male. The girl I'm taking to dinner tonight called me a womanizer last weekend in the pool, then smiled. Being a man-whore is far more socially accepted than the female alternative.

Which soundcard?

I've always slept well after having a coke, I think my body is accustomed to having some substance affecting it.

Not according to the review you linked to. They said that the appearance was dated, and that the controls were less intuitive, but that it had the best performance. Interesting ;)

Expensive vodka and blow aren't issues, and I don't seem to have to pay for the rest ;)

timwhit, I understand what you are saying, but I'm not deterred. I'm already driving quite fast, and I doubt I'll be slowing down if I don't buy one. This is more about risk management than behavoral modification.

My birthday is coming up, and I want a radar detector. Considering I consistently drive 1000+ miles a week at speeds averaging 80mph, the odds are against me. Does anyone have one? Good experiences? Thoughts? I'm debating just getting a Valentine 1, as they have been the "best" for a long...

I always explain to people that HP is a hardware company, not a software company. I always reccomend they install as little HP software with their printer as possible. Occasionally I'll go into why their computers are such crap (software) and point out that we don't want their computer to catch...

Eh, I just don't like to waste time I could be spending with women, or making money so I can have a better time with women later.

No, the green elephant was taking the picture while standing in the kiddie pool.

Just got home from dancing. Need to drive the GF to the airport at 5AM, debating just staying up. Unfortunatly, I'll be in SF until 1AM Thursday morning, and have been awake since 6AM this morning, so it might hurt a bit. How about you?

A resident of antarctica?

I did some of this, but wasn't part of the grant process. The shelter had coordinated with some non-profit firm who was submitting federal grants for them. They specalised in grants and purchasing; I would tell them approx. what I needed, and they would set up non-profit business acounts, apply...

PATA? What for?

...said his name was Tea.

I dunno, I picked him up at a party...

I need acutal quiet for sleep. Adding "soothing" noises doesn't work for me; my mind is always searching for patterns or analysing the sound in some way. I've found that doing whatever I can to deaden the sounds in a room was the most effective. Adding stuff to stop any kind of echo. Things of...

What type of legitimate reason? Looking for porn or while on the clock?

Very funny, thanks sechs!

I qualified as well, in my role as owner of the game center and as operator of a business consulting/system building company.

JTR had some personal issues, he said it would take some time but he will be back.

Yes, but the intention of "I've fallen and I can't get up" is for help to arrive while you are still alive. Waiting until you start to smell bad isn't good for anybody.

I think he's already onto the HD goodness. I think it would just be more.

Too many women. Just got home this morning in time to get more clothes before my Open Ocean Sailboat race today. Yesterday was rockclimbing in the morning, Pool party for lunch, and then two different parties all night. Now I get to Sail for 12-16 hours with a hangover.

Dell. I think it was around $1300 including shipping and CA Tax. There were over $500 in price breaks.

Ugh.....typically I can drink red wine (David Bruce Syrah) all night without issue, but it seems a hot tub immediatly afterwards brings out a nasty hangover.

I just ordered a Dell for the current GF: Core 2 Duo @ 2Ghz 2GB RAM 80GB HDD DVD Burner 15" Screen I think she'll be happy with it; she needs more that a Treo has to offer. (AutoCAD)

CSUI......Counterstrike? Cascading Style Sheets? Cross site scripting? Cum Shot? Ugh....sorry...PUI :drl:

Damn...I still need 4 :(

Here we have solid clay from about 8" on down. I have driven a 6' grounding rod all the way in, and did considerable damage to the wall in the process. Fortunatly I missed the water main and gass main which were about 8" away.

The one I am always guilty of, posting under the influence ;) I have some real winners in the "Something Random" thread.

Laptop keyboard plus PUI I suspect.

Oh yes, that's much faster :crap:

Oh, and no-one is beter off with ISDN. Better to have a major brain injury and not be aware of the internets existence.

I agree with Merc on all but #2, #6, and #8. They are in reverse order.

The only ones I've messed with lately (like, in the last 2 years or so) have been USB.

Thanks for the pics Merc, they were perfectly timed for an "it could be worse" speach with the GF...

Looks good. I'm afraid the feature set I want on a motherboard is still only available on an ASUS board for AM2. Still waiting.

Ugh, sorry for the typos...it's to early (8:45AM)

I actually have a 19" with scratches a bit worse than that. I use it on my bench. I actually ended up using a rezor blade to remove the materiel that was hanging off the display, but the display under the scratch still looks like @ss. I wouldn't use it for anything but checking progress of...

If you buy a car new for under $10k, you know it's a POS. You know it's a POS and you buy it anyway. I was poor and needed a car; I regret the decision.

All the boards I use have it at the bottom of the front screen.

Not a bad thing, IMHO. IIRC, they were never the performance leader, but set reliability standards that others strived for.

I actually have good things to say about most of the cars I've bought in the past. My current VW has 105k miles in 3 years, without anything more than Oil and Tire changes in the last 85,000 miles! Other cars I've had for significant amounts of time/distance were an Audi S4, Porsche 911, Porsche...

For my clients I use NOD32. For me? Nothing at all.

Happy Happy Happy

I'm proud to say I have never typed that address...ever. I've never gone to the site, and only glanced at other people who were.
