i thought it was a very witty and good action movie but they did drag it out for a little too long.

It was a bit long, but the choreography in the final scenes was excellent. That made it well worth the wait.

For data storage, not really that important. I'm guessing that you're using this as a secondary drive, right? For storing pictures/video/media?


Okay, but I don't buy "almost" new hard drives. I don't buy refurb'd hard drives either. Strictly new, with the warranty. Hardrives definitely have a decent rate of failure, and anything you can do to reduce the probability of failure is a good thing.


Depends on how anal you want to be. External hard drives work great. A dual layer DVD burner is capable of a lot of storage as well, and you can keep those off-site (parent's house, lock box, whatever) if you have really important stuff (photographs or digital video of family, or a really, really good porn collection).

Yep I'm just using it for storage.

Hrmmm well I'm not sure what to do then....

Yeah I don't think I'm gonna do that off site thing.

You don't live in the PNW.

These are just as bad, if not worse though.

 

[stosh]

Yeah it's sunny here and 12degrees.

Mr. & Mrs. Smith followed by Fantastic 4. Mr. & Mrs. Smith I liked a lot, but I thought Fantastic 4 kinda sucked.

Mr. and Mrs. Swith was so much better than I had ever expected. The cinematography was excellent.

We have a Dell now and have really had good luck with it. Now, we really want to have a faster processor and more hard drive space so we've been looking at newer machines to replace ours.

I bought one last year from www.hdnw.com. They charged me $20 to assemble it and that way it comes with a one year warranty in addition to the manufacturers' warranties on all the components. It's fast enough so far and I had it set up with the new MATRIX RAID. The striped ~330GB set of partitions is amazingly fast for big CAD/CAM files and video. Just have to be more diligent about backing it up.
Can't say it'd be the best place to buy a computer unless you're local Seattle area bcz I'm not sure how they handle problems long distance.
I've only had specific compatibility issues with the onboard sound card and an application I run but they were great in helping me solve it. (Rainbow Technologies Sentinel System driver and ASUS onboard sound cards don't get along) The eVGA video card fan started rubbing the heat sink 2 weeks before the warranty was up. Close call and they gave me full credit to upgrade to an ASUS 7800GTX. PCI-E is the way to go if you're buying a new computer. AGP will no longer be upgradeable since they'll stop making the high end cards for them. If you won't be doing any graphic intensive stuff (games, CAD/CAM, video editing, graphic design, etc.) you don't need to blow a wad on a video card.

 

[bluebug32]

I know it. It's downright balmy. In fact, I'm thinking about taking off one of my 4 layers

 

[robdamanii]

Really? It's only 8 here.

And I've only got a long sleeve t-shirt covering my sexyness.

For a minute there, I was really close to posting your pic. from your Jahovah's Witness thread :evil:

But, I think I'll be nice instead

I thought about that as I hit 'submit'....
Qwoman's eyes just glaze over when that stuff comes up.

Oh yeah, right next to the Grammar Nazi

Ahh.....I just woke up. No more school for a month. I can wake up when I want, and do nothing if I want or actually workout/ride my bike.

LOL! There were a few things I understood in there (stress few). But it'll be useful information for the man nontheless

 

[Arsbars]

hey guys.. it's beautiful out here in Maryland. Makes me want to go ride my bike. Too bad some guy hit a water main and my yard/basement is flooding.

 

[stosh]

Hmmm....I still can't find my frame

when you gonna post pics of your new frame?

 

[robdamanii]

Would it be considered "crazy" to go out for a ride in 8 degree weather with a bit of wind blowing?

Water main's are over rated!

When she can find where the asshat UPS guys left it?

You're asking the wrong people. Take it from me, the voice of reason "Yes it is crazy"

 

[robdamanii]

Hrm. 8 degrees in the sun, road ride of 15 MPH for about 30 minutes, wind chill maybe -2....

Sounds like it could be fun.
