[QUOTE="Dutch_Mix"]I almost had a heart-attack this afternoon. How was everyone else's day?ag1052

Are you being serious?

Yep. I was sitting alone in my house watching television while surfing the internet (being productive :P) when suddenly the power went out and the entire place went dark. I thought it was the end of the world or something! 0_o

You know, shooting pains aren't the only pre heart attack symptoms. :roll:

Anyway, I've been reading an interesting book lately entitled "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu. It's a very old book, but it still somehow manages to feel entirely relevant in today's society. Really good from what I've read so far.

I thought I was having heart problems last year for a couple of months. Turns out I had pulled a muscle or something in the left side of my back, so the occasional sharp pain felt like it was in my heart area. That was kind of scary.

I think I've read parts of The Art of War, or at least something by Sun Tzu, as part of my World Masterpieces class in my last semester of college. It's good stuff.

Today i heard the rudest thing said to someone else in school.

At lunch, someone was talking about how his father is dead, he used to be in the Vietnam Army.

This kid, who hears the story, then says 'OWNED!' with a big grin on his face.

Honestly, all i was thinking was, what the _____ is wrong with you. The kid didnt just say 'OWNED!' with a grin on his face once, no, he said it like 5 times, like saying 'THATS OWNED!'

What an ass.
Haziqonfire

I know someone whos grandfather was one of Hitlers generals, and while he worked for abad man, he wasn't a bad person himself, That kid is an ass.

Jordan: Yes, i think it's sort-of working. The ironic thing is i posted basically the same thing to you in the Meet a Mod thing, so i repeated what i said...

I really want to buy a book called the Little prince. Sounds lame, but one of the best books i've ever read.

anyone just see that TV show "Talent of the Stars"???? George Takei just did some country music... If any one can find a picture online of that preformace let me know. He was wearing the same shirt as my band's lead singer was wearing at our show this past sunday...

If anyone could find a picture let me know and if you could do a photoshop side by side that would be stinkin awesome!!

ag1052

I'm pretty sure George Takei was wearing that shirt. I only saw it for a second as I was flipping through the channels, but yeah, it was Mr. Sulu.

Sweet, almost there. It's looking good.

Anyone here know anything about computers?? In one of my folders I noticed a file called CAIBSL2B. It is an unknown file type. When I try to delete it it won't let me because it says "Cannot Delete file: cannot read from the source file or disk."

Does anyone know how I can delete this file. I restarted my computer and ran a virus scan but no luck.

Thanks

Never try to delete a file before you know what it is, or does.

I don't know what that file is, but Google exists for a reason.

I hate when something of the sort that haziq said happens.

Let me explain, The person sets me up for a perfect mom joke, and then i say it. Then the person says My mother is dead, she died when i was 5 ETC. Then i do not know if they are lying or not so dont kow what to do. 1.) if they are lying i do not want to fall for it and 2.) if their mother actually is dead i dont want to guy you lying sack of ****.

I normally just stare at them because they normally smile if they are lying and, no one has ever actually said that to me when their parent has passed away. Has that ever happened to you?

You know what freaks me out more? Talking animals. Like real talking animals. You know, the dogs that say "I love you" and such. It's just so.. creepy. I'd explain why, but it might be a bit too philosophical/religious to get into. ;)

Wow. As some of the commentors of that video suggested, that cat needs an exorcism!

And while we're on the topic of Youtube videos, I just have to post this one. (It's so awesome. I've watched it at least a dozen times. :P)

Got my new, semi-gaming PC in today!

Intel Dual Core 2.66 GHz

3 GB dual-channel memory

500 GB Hard Drive

22 Inch Monitor

nVidia Geforce 8600 GT DDR3 256 MB video card

Integrated Audio

I wish the graphics card was a bit up to par with the monitor's resolution, but what the hey, I don't need an 8800 GT.

Orange Box, here I come!

Few things:

1) Jealous. :cry:

2) You don't need that much of a beast to play The Orange Box.

3) You do need that much of a beast to play Assassin's Creed.

4) Congrats. Hope you didn't spend too much on it. :?

I need to build a PC soon :(

I'm waiting until DDR3 is adopted by DFI

bob_newman

And since it's a family computer I didn't do the spending (thank God!), but it was around $900 without the Microsoft Office Home and Student, and with $330 dollars off. Pretty good, me thinks.

Cool. I should probably think about getting a new computer (seeing as how it's seven years old) but I don't know if I should either buy a PC from the store or just buy the parts online and build it myself.

And Dutch_Mix, you should customize it online, it's much easier!

Dutch_Mix

You'll get a better comp if you build it but it might cost slightly more.

On the other hand you get the free warranty for the parts instead of just one for the whole computer for one year and then having to pay for extra coverage. When you buy a computer all parts in that computer aren't covered from the company they're from. So like if you buy a Dell with a Seagate drive that normally has a 5 year warranty since it's in the Dell machine it has no warranty. So you lose 4 years of free warranty on the drive.

Like I said up there, DDR2 is going by the wayside and DDR3 is going to be the next standard. It runs cooler and exceeds the performance of DDR2, the top speed they want to bring DDR2 is 800 (even though you can buy chips that are faster) you can overclock faster chips with only a slight voltage boost but then you're going to make the memory burn out over time. (it's not fast don't worry)

They have boards that handle DDR2 and DDR3 but I figure just jump in with both feet if you're starting from scratch. I'm waiting until DFI releases it's new boards this summer that take advantage of DDR3. I just love DFI boards, they're great for the person who tweaks their computer but also run like a tank for the average user.

You want to go with Intel over AMD because Intel is more then one full generation ahead of AMD as far as chip evolution.

If you're going with dual core grab one of the Wolfdale 45nm processors, VERY nice.

That video's hilarious simply cause I have two cats and niether of them are that bad.

You know what scared me when I was younger. The dog-headed people from Sesame Street. You know the one's that are people in business suits but have the head of a dog (a Dalmatian I think). I'm not sure why but those things always scared the crap out of me. Probably cause it would be in one of my nightmare's as a kid...

I had a nightmare about vampire skateboarders. It was a cartoon, they were all like "sweet, yeah, gnarly!" then on tv a sign came up that said "Not Sutable for children under 4" then a sad smily.

I woke up all scared. The weird thing was, i was 8 then, so i could have watched the show. But then again, we were on holiday in New Zealand at that time, so that explains it.

So i just saw harold and kumar: Escape from Guantanamo bay. I gotta say, its way better than the first one.

BTW, Neil patrick haris owns. Haziqonfire

Were you high? I mean, there's really no other way to see those movies...

Better than a lot of recent comedies, that's true. And yes, Neil Patrick Harris DOES own.

And I bet the movie would've been better if I had watched it high, yeah.

Make sure to check out Metacritic before paying for a movie ticket. You could've saved yourself ten bucks.

Thanks for the advice. I'll definitely keep it in mind when I decide it's time to upgrade. :)

I just noticed-in JordanElek's "Read before posting" stickied thread, there is a hyperlinked exclaimation mark above the heading "Wiisentials" (where you can find the link to this thread). If you click on it, it takes you to Southparkchick's infamous "letter" to Nintendo asking for a Pokemon Snap game for Wii. Pretty sly Jordan.;) Has anyone else seen this?

More track, less safari ftw.:P

Yeah, that's been there for a while. Actually, somewhere in this thread, Jordan told us that there was an easter egg somewhere on the Wii boards, and told us to look for it. He was referring to that link.

You just can't let something so cla-ssic go, you know?
