Sup with that dog avatar? It's my Siberian Husky. You're a husky!

Could be that the fried PSU fried the graphics card...

Wait a minute...get your history straight. It was Americans that discovered and founded Canadia way back in the 60's (don't quote me on that...but I'm pretty sure that was the right century) Wake up, losers! Everyone knows we gave you fish and corn when you were starving in a Plymouth, parked by a rock. Duh.

Tek's Monster Red Sauce: This recipe works well for marinara (meat or no) and pizza sauce. 8 lbs tomato (cut into 1/4's) 2 lbs sweet onion (rough chop) 4 cloves garlic (rough chop) 2 bell peppers (rough chop) 1/4 cup olive oil 2 tbsp kosher salt 1 tbsp sugar 1/4 cup (loose) fresh orgegano 1 cup (loose) fressh basil 1 tsp red pepper flakes 1 tbsp dried parsley 1 tsp tomato paste Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place chopped tomato, pepper, onion, and garlic in a roasting pan. Coat with olive oil, salt, sugar, spices (save 1 clove of garlic, 1/2 the basil for last step) and toss. Roast all for 1 hour 15 min tossing every 20 min or so. Remove pan from oven and allow it to cool. Place remaining basil and garlic clove into food proc. with roasted stuff...puree for 1 min. Best red sauce evar!

My friend's been using one of those for the last 3 years, and it's the kind I bought too. Inexpensive and seem to work just great. I'll third that...go for that or PC Power and Cooling...mmmm.....single rail.

Unfortunately I will protest...the bus has 4 legs for each bench; a standard school bus (I'm a teacher) has 21 benches x 4 legs each, plus 2 front legs from driver's chair (no back legs...) So, did Dark really get it right?

Thurs are better for me. Til baby comes, then no night, I will imagine. 8pm cst

That's ok, because like the good book says my treasures are not of this earth and I don't covet my clan mate's stuff....

I haven't found a contrast adjustment yet...not only that, but I have not installed the software it came with, as I usually find that monitor software is less than helpful. I will try the mentioned settings and see... I paid $361 and it is practically new...no defects, no scratches, nothing. Although, I do notice that this panel gets significantly hotter than my acer...I can actually fee heat coming off of screen...not crazy, but definitely noticable. I believe the 2407 is sig. different from the E248...but not so much from the 2405. I had to go with the acer at the time, as it was the best ws lcd I could afford and the resolution of the 24" at the time would have crippled my hardware at the settings I like (high, with AA and AF).

So I bought this on ebay the other day...got it on Friday. Dell 2407, 24" monitor. I used to have a 22" Acer (gave to the wifey). And, I must tell you, the dell 24" is night and day quality-wise, picture-wise, everything-wise. It is used, but for all intents and purposes, is brand new...it even came in the orig packaging. The only thing I cannot get used to is the extreme brightness and color saturation. Any dell 24" users out there? Got any adjustment hints?

This gonna be on our server then? Thurs, what time?

What's a BED teacher?...oh wait...I get it! Dang! yo! Is that what I think it is? Dark's gettin busy! yo! ok, n e ways. Um...time on Oct 2nd? Maybe if we try hard enuff, we can get Pat and Ruff and all the gang!...*get's misty eyed*

Oh hell...good god...ftw. Volleyball can be played at random and any evening...I'd understand if it were like, say...your monthly dole of maple syrup rationing... I'm down for the get down..I will even reinstall...(haven't yet).

The entire thing smacks of new school Monty Python... Reminds me of the "String" sketch from flying circus...

ftw is that stupid animated gif? And who really thinks that JT could ever mount a formidable campaign that might actually result in the loss of our gaming freedom... Umm, hello!? Tipper gore!?

I would say "wait" for a month or so... It is pretty short, and the performance bugs (some have them, some don't) make it dodgy...IMHO.

I hate Lucass Arts. The PC community built them 5 years ago...and they abandoned us with no port to the PC. I can't wait till someone cracks this for PC. Fark Lucasarts.

Ok.. set the FSB to 378 (1512) and my cpu is humming along at 3.401 ghz. 3DMark06 overall: 16,015 3dmarks cpu: 3175 sm2: 7325 sm3: 8293. That is with SLI. Temps are interesting... I am using speedfan (used before and didn't really like, but my options are scant.). My cpu is idling at 32(@3.0ghz) or 37(@3.4ghz) AT full load it is 43(@3.0ghz) or 53(@2.4ghz) Now, speedfan lets you check the cores (core0 and core1) and they are usually 9-10 degrees above the "cpu" ftw? Hmmm.....

Project origin looks good. The orig FEAR played like a dream for me, once I had the hardware. The expansions just plain sucked monkey B****. I bought the last one and quit after 1/2 hour. Project origin and Far Cry2 and Fallout 3 are my end of the year saviours...I hope they rock. I liked this vid: http://pc.ign.com/dor/objects/812589/fear-...Tour091008.html

Well so far, there is no official built-in warhead bench...so I guess we have to take the devs on their word (I don't) that Warhead performs much better than orig game. I get some serious lag and stutters...I cannot figure out ftw is going on...I had two crashes as well in the past 24 hours. Your later post and those FPS sound about right. Both you and Dark should run the built in benches in crysis and then try out Warhead with an FPS counter to see diff.

Run down of my favs in the humidor to date... Partagas, Perdomo, La Perla, Indian Tabac, Gurkha, Torani, Ashton, Rocky Patel, Cohiba...

You need to start drinking Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Ale... Yeah...$9 for a 4 pack...good stuff. Sierra Nevada Bigfoot Barleywine style ale it is $16 for a 6 pack. Up the ante man! Try the Rogue cask conditioned Barleywine. It is $14 for one ceramic 24 oz. Nice.
