  1. the apature size is more for using system memory instead of video RAM. Most system memory is going to be slower than video so you don't want to use it for games. I believe, I say that cause I'm not an expert, that the apature is only used when there are more items to store in video ram than your card can handle. Thus for cards with more ram this won't help...it might hurt if your card decides to offload ram because it's there. In reading I found that setting too low won't matter as they system kinda takes it anyway. I do believe that this is kinda like a bios shadow and that setting it does allocate the ram...not sure on this though. So, if it does help you thats awesome...I, like Batman, didn't notice a difference.
  2. Batty's going to be there cause I'm going to drag him by his feet:) We will be heading up Friday afternoon.
  3. Ok, who do we need to witness it? I've never understood legal stuff. Can I sign it and have my wife witness it? Can Batman witness it? Personally I want Fatty to witness mine...he'd be good on the stand, being a teacher & what not, working with under privilaged kids...thats who I want on my witness stand
  4. bump = $$ Fatty has just whored out his handshake at ff 2005

    2 years

    Wow...2 years...time sure does go fast.
  6. I'd help the neighbor secure his network first. I keep helping my neighbors lock theirs down. MAC address is about the best lockdown but I also use encryption here. If the guy is wide open the problem is that someone can use his line to send child porn & it will appear to come from his house...not good. Chances are you would be safe but then again...your trusting your computer (or their computer in this case) to another person...plus it is illegal since they would be stealing broadband.

    life is tough

    I worked for a guy a while ago who told this story. He used to go help his buddy with his computer problems. One day they guy calls & says that he wanted to restore some files but his backup disk was blank. So, my boss went over to his house & said "Show me how you do your backups". The guy goes through all the steps...putting the disk in...running the backup program...when it's done he takes the disk out and sticks it to the side of the fridge with a magnet.

    Career advice

    All I can say is the old proverb...a bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush. Never did understand that cause I always got confused with a hand in the bush...we won't get fooled again. Ok, think it means you should take the job when it's offered or you may be unemployed.

    I'm ready

    LOL...I'll have you park that van in the garage Batty
  10. Vacation day scheduled - check Room Reserved - check Table spot reserved - check Now I just need to start saving gas...LOL
  11. Bear in mind thats 60 bucks for Friday night & All day Saturday...till Sunday morning.
  12. "Fool me once." Why can't a guy say "Oh, I've not really given that much thought. I'll have to get back to you on that"
  13. How come you don't get a boy? Now you have to try again jk, Congrats...though I don't envy you. Guy down the street has 3 girls...Just imagine those teen years...time to polish up the auto-shotty
  14. We let him live after that?
  15. I survived it Fatty...Took me a while and a number of beers...oh, the beer had nothing to do with it:) Beyond that...busy. LOL...I was looking at that handling tips & saw Duct Tape & all I could think of was doing the old trick of rolling the tape...sticky side out...and having one side stuck to the broom handle then catch the snake with the other side...kinda like fly paper...LOL Duct Tape...1001 uses
  16. LOL...I jumped when that darn "stick" moved. Course here I am in full body armor trying to chase the snake into the bucket...my 6 year old is saying "just pick it up daddy" (there ya go Fatty...she isn't too scared). I said "me, no way...you pick it up brave girl"...she didn't.
  17. I read somewhere that the Hydrogen in the cars tank would disperse so fast in a wreck that it would not become a bomb. Not sure about the filling stations though...thats quite a bit more Hydrogen. There are cities (or at least 1) in California that are using Fuel Cell cars for their fleet...course they have the ability to house their own stations. This could be an avenue...I think we can get a much quicker bang for our buck on the Hybrids and it will be much easier for the consumers to get on board with.
  18. Well, I'm pretty sure this guy saw everything so we are moving him to the other side of the creek...sorry...I hate snakes but at least it lives. I left these big so you snake freaks can count the scales Plus I don't know the size for UB code...feel free to fix it any admins:) For reference, the tub it's in is 12" wide. And, for more fun...here is the last one I relocated. Last relocation project....if the link works.

  22. JFK said it. Speach I always heard that it didn't mean "I am a Berliner" but meant "I am a jelly dognut". However, this page says I am mistaken...wow, is that a first? LOL Defined There is your history and German lesson for the day.
