Just got back from my week vacation

Left on Monday July 26 and headed to Pismo Beach. It's ~ 250 miles north of LA. It's were you can drive your car on the beach, and ride your off road toys there. Weather was kind of chili at times. During the day, the sun would peak out at 11:00am and warm up to 70°F or so. Where I left in Hemet, it...

Glass, I can understand your concern with your kids, but wait until they become teenagers. They will be swapping music and games with each other. That is what my teenage kids do because they can't afford the $15-$20 for a music CD, or almost $50 for a game. Like you, I have programs that I've downlo...

Verizon offering free DSL up & down increases

I just heard about this on Verizon's newsgroups, but they are offering double the speed increase for no charge. My current DSL connection is 768/128 (80kb/15kb) which will now be 1.5mb/384 (160kb/30kb) at no additional cost. I simply called their 800 number (800-567-6789), and the tech checked to se...

I work in a Calibration Lab, and we have lots of equipment - equipment that is used to calibrate instruments throughout the company. We always get idiots that come in and want to borrow our standards. My comment?

What do you think this is...a K-Mart store?

I have a spare mobo already in my closet - an Asus with a 2.4 cpu (bought it used a few months back). I just haven't upgraded my current mobo because all is working well, including my 4 year old installation of Win98. I've been thinking about upgrading my vid card, but it's probably a waste of time ...

Political Compass - where do you stand?

http://www.politicalcompass.org/

My results:
Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: 0.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 1.18

So I'm almost in the exact middle, but slightly on the Authoritarian side.

Jesus!

30 playable? Maybe if only 2 people were on the server or a single player. As more action comes on the screen, you want around 70 to have decent game.

I guess this game won't run on my rig:
Win98
Geforce 2 GTS
PIII-1Ghz cpu

Just an old 12 gauge shot gun and an old Benjamin 22 caliber pellet gun. This pellet gun is a classic. I've had it since I was a young kid in the 60's. It's made of solid brass, and even has rifling in the barrel. Still works to this day.

Man uses 1 inch hollow pipe through the head as body piercing, only to be found dead several hours later at a local hospital.
