Same here and same here. I've never bought something through an ad in my entire life. Every single item I order I price search to find the cheapest + shipping.
Also... those animated adds make me want to remove whatever site I see them on from my bookmarks. Know how hard it is to read an...
Part of our social evolution revolves around alcohol. They think it is why humans became agrarian. We have a very high tolerance for it all things considered. Imagine if you did Acid all day every day for 20 years. You would be a lot worse off than a bum liver and brain damage. Nicotene isn't...
I took mine to 2/3 of its max one time and it knocked ~70 points off my credit score. Hurt me dearly since I was in the process of getting a mortgage. Since then I pay the thing off every pay day.
They not only figured out which wolf he used but where he took it.
They aren't just saying "No thats fluffy!", they are saying "Not thats fluffy! and thats his back yard!"
No wonder my credit card ive had for 3 years still has a $750 max, I don't have a facebook account! never mind that I pay the bill every other week and it has never been maxed or late.
what is less reliable about a netbook? My $250 one hs a WD drive, intel guts, and an LED backlight. If anything it seems like it would be more reliable with less heat cooking it and less parts to fail.
All I have is home internet,
46
Cell line on parents family plan
10
Netflix
8.99
$65 total. Not to shabby. About equal to my electric bill (Cept those $100 summer months).
Round here the starting pay for that field is about 25-35k. You make much more doing manual labor or, for the amount of time you were in school, you could be a burger king manager by now making the same amount and with extra money in the bank from the years of working instead of paying tuition...
Ok, so when I am coming up to a dangerous blind corner. I pull over. Get out. Install two cameras. Then have a computer merge the two live streams at once. Should work great!
Would work for brits though, no need for them to install cameras, they already have them everywhere so the gov can watch...
I wanted to go in to the field pretty badly until I researched it
Average to crappy pay
Must stay ahead of the curve or become obsolete (Constant education fight to stay ahead)
Less job security later in life
Screw that. I'm not going to school to be a public nerd bitch who makes little and is...
I'm done with early adopting!!!!!!
400 dollar X2 3800, lasted a long time but 400 for the budget chip?!?! I was stupid
Then there was the brand new MSI AM3 board I bought that caught on fire when I overclocked. WTF!
Bit on a Raptor, sort of marginal. Was expensive as heck but served well...
Would be so awesome to hit my home page and see
"We are sorry but all of our servers are in use right now stealing all of chinas secrets and shutting down their entire infrastructure. Please join us later while we look over all of the human rights violations, environmental destruction, and other...
I got all excited and made a live account in SF4. Got ready to play with my friends. Voice chat works, although only in private, can't join parties.
Next we tried to play. He invited me to a game. "Please start Street Fighter 4 and open this message again"
ok WTF
Now I tried to invite him...
The first game played easier and smoother IMO. This one has dead zones.
Sometimes youll be at a level and not be able to find anything in your level range to level on. You have to fight super hard stuff and constantly replace your troops until you level a bit... or cheat. I've hit two such gaps...
DEAD
Died while I was in the middle of checking out. I put in the wrong date on my CC and it failed to go through. I went back one page and changed the year but when I looked down the price was suddenly up to 12 dollars and when I tried to start over it now says the deal doesn't apply to that...
From the couch yes, from my computer chair no (42 inch TV / Monitor). Not a problem for me either. I often don't even bother to hit the high quality button on hulu shows / movies. "Most" entertainment doesn't need fine details to be enjoyed.
About the only thing I use from the service is the streaming but it is nice to be able to nab whatever new releases come out that I want to see also. This is a pretty big let down. Means you have to use a different service and pay more money if you want to see a new release.
Its nice that...
Yep. You can outfit your house with them and save 50 or 60 dollars a year, for only a few thousand bucks ;) And they "can" last forever (good luck with that, there is more to fail in one than the actual LED).
Sorry but games designed for consoles are console crap. There are some major design compromises that have to be made and then a ton of small ones. The major ones are unchangeable and the developers usually don't even bother with the small ones (no mouse usage in menus etc...).
Its cheaper to buy all the games in a bundle.
The game used to be very difficult, a little unforgiving, and fairly challenging. At least in comparison to how it is now. Now days it is VERY dumbed down. Doing max DPS requires less coordination than the easiest track on guitar hero, and plays...
I did ok with the keyboard until I got to the higher horsepower cars. My cheap analog controller is also nearly on or off but it is still a lot better. With keyboard I would lose it in the corners and had trouble getting it to go straight on the straightaways (though I found out increasing speed...
It reminds me of gran turismo but with less cars and the modifications dont make sense. Turbo you're corvette? 20hp.... increase boost? 10hp... race exhaust? 35hp... wtf!!
Some of the tuning is stupid too.. open front grill? increase top speed... close it? lower top speed, increase accel...
I'm sure some of you guys picked this up with the steam sale. What do you think of it?
Sofar for me:
Keyboard is impossible to play with. Made it to tier two, was going nuts. Hooked up analog controller. Much much much better. They put zero thought into making the game playable with...
I think the general populace is finally realizing they don't need a core 2 duo and 4gb of ram to browse the web and do general productivity crap!!!! I was waiting for this day!
Now I can stop gagging when I see super duper laptops with crap tons of ram, storage, and cpu speed... none of which...
