Let's face it, I'm getting older and the kids are whippin my a$$. I am certain that if I could hear them coming I could at least have a fighting chance; maybe enough so that they'll stop calling me "target."
I will not ride the Metro due to the Department of Mental Health assigning one patient to every car. I can not take riding with the screaming cat lady, pron addicted 57 year old 400lb. man, or the meth addict with multiple personalities anymore. Not to mention the "Metro-sexual" activites in...
Redbox is da bomb for me. Small town, only one video store that wants $5.99 for a two-day rental. So with 5 Redbox machines guess who is going out of business. I reserve the movie online, so all I have to do is swipe the cc and I'm out of there. Usually I can select a location that doesn't...
Must be all those bad 1156 brackets and sockets... I noticed that MSI went to all LOTES brackets and mostly LOTES sockets as well.
This is too bad. Although there is a cultural bias for this behavior, it is still too bad.
Yeah that was odd, I was expecting a MSI board returned to me. The email was a single sentence, sor tof odd.
But hey the new EVGA P55SLI went in like a charm last night and ran prime95 alll night long no problems.
I really liked the GD65, belived in it, but MSI took that all away, they...
I sent my GD65 in on an RMA and MSI chose to refund me, no, hey here's a new board, just a mesage to send them an invoice. It's a long story. This was a build for the kids chirstmas present... no ho ho ho on this build.
So I need to buy a new P55 board. Budget is $150-200. I am thinking...
I was looking for some answers to problems with my P55-GD65 and found the following notice on MSI's Customer Support site... I can't recall I have ever seen something like this among top tier suppliers. Oh well... I guess they are big winter olympics fans...
FYI and PSA
There is a strict "No Contact" policy between NASA employees and contracted labor. The young guy was a NASA employee who forgot the rules; the old guy just reminded him of it. This all stems from a SKYLAB mission in which a male NASA employee and a female contracted employee...
somebody needs to sue Apple for using a logo so common as an apple, then trying to say to everyone else you can't use an apple in your logo... geesh.
I guess I should form a company called 'sky' and make everyone pay to look at the sky. Or sue enyone who has ever used a cloud or moon or sun...
When I can rent a movie for $1, I will ALWAYS rent it, then if I like it buy it.
So I guess the stoopid studio execs don't understand the concept or "pre-view"???
Just how damn dumb can they be?
Things he should have said rather than attempting to kill her:
"I'll buy you some damnned cookies in the morning bitch!"
"Now give me your cookie"
"Here's the reason I call the Wii the 'ner'. Suck it!"
oh that' just greeeat.
Teacher: Here Billy, touch the tiger.
6 year old Billy: No, the tiger has teeth.
Teacher: No silly it isn't a real tiger.
6 year old Billy: Oh, okay.
11 o'clock news: A 6 year old boy was mauled today by a pack of local dogs. His mother reported the...
Anyone ever seen a surge protector go bad and fry mobo components?
One of my machines had its network ports cooked off. It has taken a while to figure this out, because it is quite unbelievable. The culpert was the surge protector. It allowed a surge through (or caused a surge itself?!?)...
a .xxx extension would have solved about 1/2 the problems. But oh noooo ICANN can't be trusted to think like adults and caregivers protecting innocents. They wanted "freedom on the net"
Now we will be stuck with the Government wanting a "rating system"... yeah right, sure a "rating system"...
Captain Kirk -- "More power Scotty"
Scotty -- "I'm givin' 'er all I'kin Kaptin"
Spock -- "The feelings I ...err... she is experienceing are illogical."
Of course Lt. Ohura is dazed in her chair mumbling something about "impulse power."

Get a feel for a good price, then pounce!
Remember as a HardOCP reader you WILL be disappointed in the Wii after the newness wears off. Last year I wanted an xbox 360 for the kids, wife wanted the Wii; we got the Wii. Guess what we are...

That yelow thing would beotch slap and dry hump that suck of a car the Volt turned out to be.
The Volt is the biggest bait and switch in car design history.
Of course this assumes Steve...

As a Hospital CEO I know that cell phones do not interfere with equipment--that is unless the user is within 6 feet of the patient. That actually is the 20 some odd year old rule. So to enforce the rule most hospital's just put up the NO CELL notice and call it good. That is until the...
...until the US congress passes legislation demaning a .xxx root url from ICANN.
On a .xxx site you can have all the pron you want. On any other site, you are busted. Simple solution that would fix 90% of the problems as most decent routers today will block a range or URLs. This assumes...
