Sip

... that's EACH. I accept paypal.

Now that July is almost upon us, I wanted to get this started soon so we see who's up ... last year it was me, Thoth, and Tiggy and as far as I remember, I kicked everyone's arse ... well, Thoth may have different stories but it only matters what I think No but seriously, Thoth did kick my butt and actually gave me a VERY good player that helped me wipe the league towards the end (thanks oh great one ) but Tiggy did get his behind kicked all over the place I propose this year we do it on yahoo instead of CNN. I didn't care much for the CNN site. But details will follow. For now, who's up?

That's gotta be one of the STUPIDEST things I have EVER heard. Which parent is "reading" to his or her child these days? My GOD that's stupid. Here's the full article: Thousands Sign Up for Anti-Telemarketing List

But of course YOU knew, right? Are you sure you and Nikephoros_Phokas aren't in fact the same person?

OOOPS: Clarification ... all the "showering" will be done AFTER the wife/misstress agreement has been accepted by both parties. I realize that the wording of "future" may have caused some ambiguity in that sentence and appologize for any inconvenience it may have caused (especially to all those that already emailed).

Don't know about the Germans and Jews and this thread is way too sophisticated for me (but I finally got it ) .... BUT ... all I know is, the Jews better give up the words Jewel and Jewelry. I demand that those words be called Armenel and Armenelry. I am going to shower my future wife/mistresses with all sorts of expensive Armeneleries.

Oh yah, the dude is a walking/talking encyclopedia when it comes to stuff like this! By the way Phantom, welcome to the board.

Very sad, but true. Unfortunately, I don't see how the current behavior of Armenians (which may very well be justified but let's even assume it isn't) has anything to do with the acknowledgement of past actions by Turks. However, I do see your point that nothing good can come from the perpetuating distrust from either side ...

You've been late ONLY 10 times and they gave you the "always late" award? Oh my god! How could they? Hahahahaha .... that's funny ... "only" 10 times! It's like driving "only" 100 MPH on the freeway But I do understand the angry female award. :box: That must have come from a guy. Just think which one of them you've rejected badly in the last few months ...

That's why Azat and Sipan spend most of their time here (And Vava, who recently scored higher than Sip (!) on the geek test! <-- Dude, I'm still shocked!) The good news is, I only spend about 1% of my internet time on hyeforum The other interesting and well known fact about computers is that when they are on, their resources on average are utilized at less than 1%. I think in reality the numbers now is much much less considering how fast processors have gotten. So there's something to think about! Not only do we waste 99% of our time when we are actually sitting at a computer and "using it", in the same time period more than 99% of the resources of the PCs are wasted!

Bruin, hope the laughing is slowing down ... Don't worry, as long as there are buffets in this world, there will be plenty of BIG fish A friend of mine told me this a few days ago and I thought it was hillarious ... he said: "Graduation ceremony is a lot like an official event where they read the phone book for 4 hours."

I'm not going to tell you but it did involve tight pants

No way man. I'm too cool to be a pro But the question is ... a pro WHAT?

MosJan, du misht mer achkin 95 its el avel es.

Glad to hear it! I've had it on my PC for a couple of years now and only today I got around to making it my avatar And yes, even I was surprised that my geekyness wasn't as high as it should have been. I was totally honest on all the questions. Maybe I am changing? Oh this is not good.

I got 60

Don't know about the future but last time I checked the facts, there was one that happened in the past. Dude forget your heart. Try to use your brain for a change and maybe your eyes will open (FYI, eyes are closer to the brain than to the heart, plus 40% of the brain is dedicated to processing visual info). The heart is just a dumb blood pump ... just keeps pumping and pumping and pumping (much like you are pumping your crap) until one day in the future, it will stop pumping and realize there was in fact a genocide. But that's when you will be dead and even more useless than now . But I digress.

Probably not ... a 64-bit processor is a serious piece of computing equipment. If you imagine a CPU as being a "pump" for processing and pumping data, a 64-bit processor compared to a regular 32-bit processor (most current ones) is like having a much bigger pump with pipes that are twice as large in diameter ... that means even though the speed with which it can pump (process) is not faster (such as 2 GHz), it can go through a LOT more data due to the much wider width of the "bus". So the problem is, right now, software and operating systems are all written for 32-bit processing. In order to really take advantage of a 64-bit processor, eveything has to be rewritten. But the most obvious benefit would be for very data intensive types of applications ... like video processing ... when you do work on digital video, a lot of data goes though the processor (video requires a lot of data). My gutt feeling is that Apple is going to try to get the desktop video editing market ... much like it had a big share of the desktop publishing and image processing markets a few years back (and still to some extent today).

Get lost. Hehehehehehehehe ... so you liked that one, eh? By the way, Azat, that consultant one was pretty funny ... I had heard it before but it again made me chuckle.

What's the difference between hard and light? You can go to sleep with a light on.

I think a normal home user will continue to do what a normal home user has done for the past decade ... i.e. now go out and pay $600 for a 2.2Ghz PC with a 17" monitor with store shelves FULL of entertainment, multimedia, and game titles and a CD burner than to pay 3x that much for a Mac with very very limited support in the market. I can't believe how cheap PCs are getting these days. Now for very data intensive things like image/video processing, CAD, scientific computing, simulations, etc, a G5 may make sense (after custom software and an operating system has been developed for it). But I don't see any game developers putting any effort to optimize anything for G5 so that means the game market is dead for G5 ... so who else is going to buy it for their home or small office? Especially at 2-3x the price of a regular 32-bit PC?

Apple Unveils G5 Computer, Doubles Power Doubles power? hahahaha that's the headline from Reuters! These people are funny ... so catchy!!! "doubles power" But I have to say it's a very interesting development with Apple coming out with the first 64-bit processor based PC (IBM G5). Not a very smart move if they are going after the normal home/business PC market but who knows what they are after. I have to say it's very "cool" though. But $3K for a 2GHz G5 PC? Hmmmmmm .... I don't think so. I'll just wait for AMD.

Ooops ... my appologies. It won't happen again, sir.

What are you complaining about?!!!! It's been PERFECT these past few days ... perfect for driving topless with no doors. One thing that's been very strange though ... I've been getting the oddest smiles from middle-aged women ... probably mid to high 30s. Was just at the radio shack at the mall to pick up a CB antenna mount and this one lady was grinning ear-to-ear at me as I drove by her (not too bad looking either ). Just odd cause the Jeep is totally covered in dirt, mud, and other crap.

I thank the lord for the 24 hour del-taco down the block.
