Chrono Trigger is my favorite game ever, not just RPG.

The west, the south, Chicago, and Indiana...20 minutes up the road from me. :p

They're a little pricier and Newegg has a better financing deal.

I'm looking to make the switch too, so I'll get in on this also. My setup will be used for about an even split between gaming and design work...so color accuracy is fairly important. I'm not sure if I want to go 17 or 19, either one is an improvement over the 17" (16 viewable) CRT I've got...

I haven't really figured out what I'm looking for, which is why I had that question. As I'm looking for AGP right now, I've seen the 6600s, the 6800GSs, the X800/Pros, and each one is radically different from one another and I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking at. I'm not a hardline...

What is the real-world difference between 256-bit and 128-bit interfaces if all other things are close to equal? I'm looking to make a minor upgrade and I've found several 128MB cards with a 256-bit interface, 256MB cards with a 128-bit interface, and 256MB cards with a 256-bit interface. Do...

I thought it was a lot of fun. I might have to fire it up when I get home from work tonight.

Actually, that's standard. Most people get slightly above what they're provisioned for. Most of the time, the 1.5Mb lines are actually 1.6, the 3Mb lines are 3.66, and the 768 lines are usually 864.

That one's not gonna be $20 (I think it's 35.99 or 39.99, I don't work in billing), but I've never seen anything provisioned for less than 768 on the 3meg line.

The fastest in most places is 3Mb/768Kb. That's not part of the $14.95 package though. There are some places that have a 7Mb downstream line. As far as I know, it's only in areas near Boston.

I work for VOL. The deal is that since we've had this stupid fucking promotion, we've had almost a million people sign up. There isn't enough capacity in most COs. Try to place your order but don't be surprised if it never goes through.

Jobs suck. Johnny Ramone said "Being a guitar player in a rock band is the coolest job ever, but it's still a job." You'll never be happy with what you do for a living, but it is possible to not hate it. I strive to reach that goal someday.

If I'm playing a game, it's because I want to play a game. If I want to watch a movie, I'll watch a fucking movie.

Chrono Trigger is my favorite. The rest aren't even close.

Check out the books by Eric Meyer and look around his site at www.meyerweb.com

It's pretty generic, but building a dynamic CD or DVD collection is a good way to practice writing to and retrieving info from a database.

Same question as the title. I want to be able to have images in a specific directory available for my personal use while locking off everything else on the site. Is it possible to do this with htaccess or something else?

I've never had a single problem with SBC since I got them, though I've never had to call tech support. The best tech support is support you never need.

Hell fucking no. I wish I had $500 to piss away on something like that. I'm also not remotely interested in any system at launch. It's worth it more to me to wait for a couple of price breaks and some bugs to be worked out first.

Possibly one who uses English as a second language. Don't judge.

I'm interested, and still waiting on the answers to questions I sent.

I'm not looking for featherweight, but there's gotta be something out there that weighs less than that dead fucker in the corner.

It finally died, and in a most spectacular way. At least I got a fireworks show out of it. I'm running on a craptacular 17" CTX I had in the closet.

I've got a Dell P1110 that's about ready to shit the bed. I love having a 20.1" viewable display, but the thing is a fucking 87 pound pig. Anyone know of anything that is comparable in size but doesn't weigh so much? My desk has a glass top...so I'm not entirely comfortable having this beast...

I really like the Eric Meyer books.

I just took a call that went from the worst one I've had in weeks to the best one I've had in weeks in about 3 minutes. This guy can't get online. He's had a bunch of problems, the agent took too long on the call, so it got transferred to me. I finished configuring his modem, connected his...

We've only got one center overseas, though people refuse to believe that. There are people of all nationalities working at my center, so when callers get someone with an accent, they automatically assume the center is overseas, then they bitch about it when I talk to them, assuming they just...

For those of you that are dicks to the techs, don't be. The people that know how to do things are few and far between, and frequently occurs that if someone says he's a "technician", you can pretty much guarantee he doesn't know shit. When you get a few "network admins" that say they don't...

Here's a link one of my coworkers sent. It's pretty funny: http://rinkworks.com/stupid/

That's mine. Chrono Trigger is my absolute favorite game ever.

Wow. This place is nowhere near that bad. I'm glad I don't do your job. There are some guys here that say they're planning to publish all the company's information on Broadband Reports when they quit. I hope I'm not here when that happens. It'll be chaos.

Creamy Goodness is my hero. We had an agent that started putting song lyrics in his tickets in lieu of troubleshooting steps. That was amazingly funny, though I'd imagine it'd be a real bitch for the next person that took calls from those customers. Another one wrote "Customer still...

Customer: "Can you push my service ready date up?" Me: "If you pass the challenge of fear." I also hate people that ask if we can somehow magically bypass the queue for another department. If I could get through faster, I would just to get you the fuck off my phone. Basically, I pretty...

Part of me hates the hell out of you... :D

While I'm waiting, I also remembered another thing that pisses me off to no end. I've got your entire ticket history in front of me, I don't need you to spend 20 fucking minutes relating every detail of every call you've ever made to us for shit that has nothing to do with the issue at hand...

I'm actually on hold with our provisioning department at this very moment attempting to figure out such an issue. I have at least one of these every day. You can't even imagine how much it sucks.

No, I work for Verizon. Verizon has that shit too, we call it the "Encore" package. SBC uses Dish Network, we use DirecTV.
