  1. Normally I would vote for retiring the Retrocedence name and giving the new server it's own, but given that CS in general has been struggling a bit over the last year or so, i'd say we should keep the identity that we have in place and recycle the name. If no one is playing CS:S...my vote would be to kill it, cheap or not....no reason to leave it up if everyone is playing GO.
  2. I was cool with just laughing and pointing at Apple, but ok...i'm flexible
  3. Newegg has an MSI TwinFrozer GTX 670 for $409.00 after rebate...I just bought one, it out performs the ATI/AMD card, and it's a lot less cash right now, it was hard for me to make the switch, I tend to like ATI a bit better, but the performance/$$ is something I couldn't pass up. Do you have a MicroCenter where you live? They sell that CPU for 189.00, and the motherboards are about the same price, but when you buy mobo and CPU...you get another $50 off....that's a pretty big saving over Newegg. The only catch is that it's in store pick up only. I just bought my mobo and CPU there, and bought the rest from Newegg. I know that your video card is only $329...but if you can do the Micro Center deal, the savings would allow you to step up to the 670 without going over budget. Looks like you will have a pretty kick arse machine!
  4. You drive a German car too, from the same parent company
  5. That's what it's built for! Congratz on the new ride!
  6. I would be in, but as my name would imply....I have no idea how to do fantasy football....never done it.
  7. Strange! What's up buddy, been a long time! I did get pressured into buying...I don't care for it all that much, but I do own it. I probably won't play it much, I find the shot registration even worse for me than Source. I am upgrading pretty soon here, so I will give it a fair chance again after I do that before I put the final nails in the coffin. I do play BF3 alot though, do you have that?
  8. Reserves don't work either
  9. I imagine so....but he would have to pay the tax on it as income, so I would imagine that it's dancing on a fine line. And if he ever did get audited...It probably wouldn't be to his advantage to show that he his paying/collecting way more than a reasonable market value.
  10. If he personally owns the land and the business is a corporation or some similar "entity", then sure, it's legal...and probably more common than you think.
  11. Is it just me...or is there no crosshair of any kind on the screen in that video? Maybe it's just hard to see....no idea how that guy is dropping all those dudes that easy with no visible crosshairs,lol
  12. If they have their normal winter sale and offer it for like $10 I might try it...if enough people have decent things to say about it, but as of right now, I'm not taking the chance....I can't see it being that different from the beta....which took suck to a whole new level. BF3 is still keeping my interest pretty heavily for right now, so I'm not hard up for a new game yet anyways. Who cares what I like anyways....rock on with your bad selves!
  13. FTFY, grouch. Uhhh....I don't even know what that means, lol
  14. Unless they threw out the beta and started over from scratch, count me out of this one.
  15. I have a 6870 and have had no issues. I have actually had nothing but bad luck with nVidia, Ati has always been great for me, I am thinking about upgrading to a HD7870ghz, it's $100 less than it's nVidia competition, the GTX580, and performs just as well, even better in some benchmarks.
  16. Yeah....I don't really play D3 anymore, I got left waaaaay too far behind for it to be any fun at this point. Might even consider selling it....if that's possible with that game.
  17. VW Tdi diesels are great....awesome fuel mileage, and you would never know that you're driving a diesel. My customers typically get around 42 - 44 mpg. Stutters has one, you can ask him as well. Hybrids aren't very appealing to me, they don't get a big enough jump in efficiency to be worth it. They require specialized technicians that not all dealerships have, actually, they probably have the minimum required classes for the dealership to be able to sell hybrids. The other major deciding factor is the cost of battery packs, which it WILL need someday....it is not uncommon for them to be in the 5 to 6 THOUSAND dollar range. Electric cars are not nearly a cost effective as they would have you believe.
  18. I have a friend at work getting ready to build a budget gamer rig, I will mention this to him. My HD6870 is a great card, so I can only imagine that yours is even better.
  19. Good info, thanks. Too bad that there isn't a program that can be trusted, it sure would be convenient. I have about 20 different accounts that I would consider important, and memorizing a solid password for each is pretty much impossible for my pea brain, lol.
  20. Those programs like 1password seem a bit scary to me...one program has all of your info...hack that, and you have it all. The weak link seems to be that you still have to enter your password for that program, which if hacked, opens the door to the grand vault. It's also difficult to put my faith in one program which, to be honest, could be just as flawed as anything else that gets hacked as far as I know. Seems that those types of programs would be the biggest targets for hackers since the reward would be the greatest. How does a person without that level of computer knowledge really know that they can trust a program like that?
