Hey goddammit. You guys have been posting here just as long as me. There is no way you aren't close to my age. Especially you Rant. I posted pictures in the LSD folder BTW.

You are the coolest.

Mac - We have better graphic/concept designers than PC companies Seriously. They should start making cars and shit because they can come up with some beautiful pieces of equipment.

It is XP with a prettier UI. Pretty much the reason people get pissed at Madden every year. Sure, there is nothing wrong with it, but if I just paid for it, I need to see more upgrades than a fucking pretty desktop. Plus lots of programs that worked on XP don't work on Vista. So you get a system with a prettier UI with slightly less functionality...all for the nice low price of...well..whatever the fuck it cost.

$18,724 Although I know they are way off. Two programs I have alone would run you 15,000 dollars. and I have 4 versions of each. I am sure I am over a million dollars right now. Counting dead hardrives...man. i would be in prison for years.

You have shitty credit.

Which version of 07 is everyone talking about? Did 07 for the 360 suck. I might want to get that.

That would be a good argument if management wasn't giving out huge contracts to guys that are sucking. Take San Antonio. They have just as many big contract guys as other teams, but their big contract guys do that thing called playing well. Just like Phoenix. marion, amare, and nash all make over 10 a year, and they back it up with play. Also in Detroit. And in Dallas (okay...maybe not Dampier...but he is solid). Good teams use their money to get players that will do well. Bad teams overpay guys just to say they have them on the team. There is no reasonable excuse for Trenton Hassell, Mike James and Marco Jaric to have been eating up that much cap space in Minny. There is no excuse for Kyle Korver, Willie Green and Samuel Dalembert to have those contracts in Philly. Just because KG or AI were making big bucks doesn't mean they should loose the ability to point that out. The money issue had nothing to do with why these teams suck(the ones with the angry stars). Look at how much money Mike Dunlevey and Troy Murphy are making in Indiana. Those are BIG contracts. Look at what Kwame, Lamar and Vlad Radmanivic are making in LA. These are things to be mad about (maybe not Lamar, but you get the point)

A: No. B: He also had those nice endorsements. Its not hard to bitch when management is making OBVIOUSLY bad moves.

They have a story talking about all of the civil right atrocities that have happened in atlanta and are trying to link that to the Vick story and why so many blacks are supporting him. Its cheap and its bullshit and it is insulting. Using the 1906 lynchings as the backdrop to a Mike Vick story is bullshit. He is just a fucking QB getting charged with dog fighting.

someone needs a ball kicking for that "history of mistrust" story on there now. That is complete bullshit being used to make sure the Vick case gets good and racial.

Every situation is different though. Like Pau Gasol bitching when the only reason his team is losing is because he fucked up his ankle in the Olympics is BS. Its not like you have a bad team. Its the same team that got to the playoffs, and lost, in part because of your inability to adjust in said playoffs. So fuck off. In Jermaine Oneil or Kobes cases. These guys have watched as the front office tries to build for the future at the expense of their prime years. I mean, take Kevin Garnett. You play in minne all those years, you watch Kevin Mchale cripple the team with the dumb Joe Smith ordeal, the team finally gets you talent, then they trade one of them to the Clippers for Marko Jaric, and decide to stand firm on not giving Sprewell more money(he apparently wasn't worth that Trenton Hassell money). Their management refused to give Sam Cassell and Sprewell the money they wanted but paid marco Jarick and Mike james twice what cassell and sprewell were asking for. Yes, he should be able to bitch. You should be able to bitch if you trade a guy averaging 17 and 8(I think) for your team to Washington for Kwame fucking brown. You should be able to bitch if the team doesn't trade a third string Center for one of the greatest point guards and teammates of all times.

Dinner. flowers. Its cliche but also appropriate.

The fuck ever. My cats are good enough. They are little assholes with attitudes, but their food cost me 24.99 a month. Thats like 2 days for a real kids. Fuck that.

Yeah, the Pink one screams trying too hard. Go with the purple one.

I would like to add that the only reason I am on here now is because I am looking for ANYTHING to do that doesn't include cleaning up that vomit Goddammit, if this isn't love I don't know what is.

The party was cool. The stripper no showed. We had a good time anyway Everyone got drunk as hell. There is a puddle of vomit in my bathroom that I have to go and clean up(my girlfriends). There was some mild orgy might happen like behavior but nothing to write home about. I somehow remained not drunk off my ass. The vomit that I have to clean up has sobered me up. Quickly. This one girl came got drunk and is a angry drunk ,got in a fight with her boyfriend and decided that walking 10 miles to home would be a good idea. I followed him as he went and dropped her car off (after about 10 minutes of driving slowly besides her on the street tellin her to get in the car) and brought him back to get his car. That was probably the low light of the night. The highlight was two of the most exposed boobs in a top ever and my girlfriend taking every opportunity to feel them up. Overall, birthday 28 was fun, not as fun as 27 (it ended with a night at the strip club and skinney dipping), I expect 29 to be all right, but goddammit, I am making national news top story with number 30.

Lets see here. I like disaronno for a amaretto. Good stuff. For Vodka, I have to agree with Milky. Grey Goose is fabulous, but the 100 proof Smirnoff stuff and the 90 proof one are pretty good for less money. THey are in the blue and silver bottle respectively, the stuff with the red label sucks ass and you might as well buy Mccormick's. I also will drink differnt Rums, and Schnapps. Peppermint, cinnimon, melon, and peach are all kickass for mixing. Any type of tequila will do. But some shots of liquid crack, Margaritas, amaretto sours, any kind of martini's are my kind of drinks. If I go somewhere I always order a grateful dead. they will make it correctly only 15% of the time, but if they do...hells yeah.

I was let go at two jobs in the same day. On my birthday. Then there was those bastards at Hewlett Packard that outsourced my job a couple of years back. I think I have been let go at around 6 jobs.

How were you able to pull up a post from February of '02? I'd love to find some of mine from then.. Yeah really. There was this one time in 02 where I was constantly buzzing or drunk for like 72 hours and was posting the whole time. I had some gold plated shit there. I need to find it again.

My real name kills all the mystic I have going for me. I am thinking of changing it to something like Dark Daddy Dickinstein or something. Or Cocky McLongjunk.

Oh well that fixes it. Man, I feel bad for Elton. Clippers will be in the Lottery next year though so maybe they can solve their future point guard problems.

I don't even understand the point of the Xbox at all for Microsoft. It isn't making them any money whatsoever. They would have been better served attacking cosumer electronics and putting Sony out of business then attacking the gaming world to get a better grasp of it. As it is, they are in their second generation of money losing systems. And this time they tried to cut the cost of manufactoring and ended up losing a shit load of money in the process. That said, the PS2 cost Sony a pretty penny too. But since they bundled their PS2 Numbers in with their consumer electronics business it was hard to see the real losses, kinda a way of hiding them, but I wouldn't be suprised to know the numbers were roughly the same as the losses the 360 has....of course, Microsoft has incurred them in a realtively short time while the PS2 had a long time to incur them. And i did a quick search and at least this guy figured the same as I did and it worked for him: http://arstechnica.com/journals/thumbs.ars/2006/6/16/4353 Although it could just be that he reseated the heatsink better than before. But still. My guess was a pretty good one!

They are guessing just as much as I am. But thinking computer wise, that doesn't exactly make the most sense. If it was heatsink attachment they would be going alot faster. Of course I am just thinking in computer terms here. But if you have a shitty heatsink connection, you are going to have high temps from the jump and it wouldn't take nearly this long to kill it off. If you use a shitty paste or thermal pad, it will work just fine for a while, but once that shit disipates, then you have an overheating issue. Not saying I am right or wrong, but that would be my guess.

The problem with the 360's is probably that cheap ass thermal pad on the GPU. If I wasn't in warrenty I would probably pop it open and change that out with something of substance like some Artic Silver or something. But since I am in warrenty then I won't. And I would be all over a firmware hack if I had to open this thing.
