  • I thought it was pretty cool that Christian Bale went to the hospital and visited the victims and their families. Don't see many actors/actresses doing stuff like that.
  • I think it has to be the same size, but not necessarily the same manufacturer.
  • I'm weary to spend that much money on one since the original battery lasted about the same amount of time as the ones off ebay. It's okay though, I think I'll just suffer through them and take advantage of warranties while I can.
  • Good to hear from you too MoG, that's a lot faster than I can run - that's downright impressive. Yep, they hire people internally before they will open up positions like that externally. I got an interview, they gave me the wonderlic test (which I …
  • I love it. Actually I guess it IS my place, but my girlfriend (another awesome addition to my life) has been living with me recently too. [:)] I drive a 2012 f-350 around for QT (I used to work in the stores, it's basically a gas station on crack) …
  • Yes, they hold maybe not 100% of their charge but close to it. I charge it with the original AC adapter too. They just seem to hold noticeably less charge over time, it's odd. My girlfriend has had a VAIO for about 8 months now and it totally puts t…
  • Good. I have a job I love now and my own place. Things are great. And yes, it has definitely been very hot lately.
  • Eh, vehicle safety, especially when you're talking about rear ending people, is all on the driver. If you are that afraid of rear ending someone, you don't need to be driving yet. Leasing is not a good idea IMO.
  • Yeah, it really surprised me how long that 8800 lasted. It was heavily overclocked the whole time and a lot of the time it was sitting there running Folding@Home, though I eventually stopped that just because my room was way too hot. These 460's ca…
  • I think I never mentioned that a few months ago, on my second computer (the good ol' watercooled PC), my old 8800 GTS 640 finally bit the dust. I ordered a GTS 450 to replace it off Newegg and for some reason they sent me a GTX 460 768MB. Gotta love…
  • Well, I have yet to test it extensively, the only thing I've done on it is played a bit of WoW, and ever since the new patch (they upgraded the graphics), my 4870 (1GB) would choke on some areas and drop into the 30's in FPS. The 460 just seems to s…
  • Dell does it. [:p]
  • Still a good show, but I really enjoyed the first few seasons of the show a lot more than the latest ones. Could just be me though.
  • I don't know, I want to do something in computers, but I've always considered myself more of a hardware guy than programming. And when you look at the list of computer majors, there are a ridiculous amount of choices. It's intimidating.
  • I love the SSD. It makes such a huge speed difference. In the past it seemed like after Windows had been installed long enough it just slowed down, with this it doesn't seem that way.
  • Haha, I haven't worked there in a while. Still go by every once in a while for a milk shake though. How are you guys doing?
  • I remember that, faintly. Kinda crazy that AMD was ahead of Intel back then and now it's pretty much the opposite.
