Holy Binary Puns, Batman!

A good C is a real blessing isn't it? Partly because there's plenty of terrible ones to be found. It sure pays to shop around and get good referals.

My H describes hiding in linear thinking because he was afraid of his own feelings (not to mention being terrified of mine). He said that when I showed emotion, he used to feel like it was abig whirlpool that he was afraid to get close to--as if he would be pulled under and drowned.

He has found a good councelor, though, and that seems to be helping. I'm noticing that he seems much less rigid these days.

Who would have thought that "the sound of silence" could be a LL!





I didn't know about this one either, fits me, too--so there are six then or seven? Maybe there could be the BB version of the LL's? Hmmm

Because I got my NEW COMPUTER today!!! P4 2.8MHz, 512M DDR2, 80G hard drive - if you could hear me now, I'd be making Tim Allan's man-grunt noise. So what do I do with all this computing power??




I took note: my brother will come over from Germany in two weeks and I wanted him to reconfigure and power up my PC a little (he works for Bentelek but his hobby is computer engineering). Now I know what I wanted.

Do you realize that you have more computing power at your fingertips that the whole of NASA during the Apollo missions?

Speaking of engineering marvels. We got a Mini Cooper!!! (Well H did, but I am carjacking it).

Hey Opt,

David will recommend you go with an AMD processor and save some money and keep the performance!

You should ask him.

And Bill didn't tell us a darn thing about the MB, the sound or video cards!

How many fans? I think my system has five!

OK, CHL, if you are reading this consider yourself asked.

Whoooooah - now you guys are just trying to antagonize me. ALWAYS go with the Intel product!!

Didn't you see the article on Tom's hardware page where they showed that the AMD processor was a fire hazard? They diabled the cooling devices and the thing immediately burned up - flames and everything. The Intel processor stepped itself down and handled it gracefully - and worked properly when cooling was restored.

Plus Intel processors have hyper-threading technology!!

So, let's see Pam - Got a SoundBlaster live 5.1 card, and nVidia GeForce FX 5200 w/ 128M DDR - the MB has an intel 865 chipset.

Okay, gotta get back to work -

Surprisingly, I haven't broken it open yet to look at the inside.

Getting ready to leave work and go to bed. Yuck.

Yikes! They've evacuated my sister and her family in southern CA because of the fires. They're all safe - bad stuff down there.
