Nope, but I spent a good amount of time at my friend's house. We got the Intellivision system when it first came out.
What was the first PC you laid your hands on? I actually helped my dad with a college project by punching out chads on data cards before feeding them into the College's super computer. :D
first computer I ever touched.... simple calculator LOL first pc I owned was a 286. first pc I used was the stupid old mac's we had at school.
Are you still working? If so how secure is your job?
Yep, still working. Now going back to school to get my MCSA/MCSE(possibly). My job is really secure, but my friend (who is my boss & owns the company) has gotten numerous offers to buy him out. My job would probably still exist though.
Have you ever experienced a "phenomenon"?
if by phenomenon you mean feeling like you're flying or falling off the edge of the earth than yes, if you mean a ghost or something, then no

Do you have a new year resolution?
Yep, a few actually.
Lose 50lbs, finish school & get a decent job that I Enjoy doing for once!
Have you ever thought you were gay? Not that there's anything wrong with that.
nope, being the male teenager that i am, boobs are really the only thing that i care about currently :P
should i finish my sossaman build or start on an e5200 build?
Which ever one costs you less and can be done the soonest.
What's a cheap, efficient way to cool multiple computers which will hopefully remove as much hot air from the room as possible?
Eller
Fan in the Window perhaps?
Do you think I can manage to keep the $250 I have in Paypal right now until the end of the first week in January? There is a 280GTX SC FS for $280 that's calling my name even tho I don't game.. should I do it?
A pair of HD4830s for roughly $200 will wipe the floor with a GTX280. Even if you don't like AMD, they're great for synthetics.
Should I get a HD4830 and 2GB more DDR2 800 no-name RAM or a HD4670 and a new 2x2GB kit of G.Skill DDR2 1000 CL5?
Wrong thread, ignore me.
DDR2 is like so 20th century. Cheap mammaries and good video - which for some of us are the same thing. :D
If I wait to get a 2P board for i7 will I end up looking like Dave? It's ok for him because he's all the way up in NH where nobody can see him but I've got neighbors with small children to think about. :rofl:
Nah, you won't look like Dave! :up: You'll look worse! :down: :ROTF:
HD4850X2 or Larrabee?
Need something more solid than random rumours and smack-talk about Larrabee before you can ask that.
Wanna donate me a good pump and a couple of cheap CPU waterblocks so I can get my mass WC setup working? :p:
Eller
If I had them, I'd use them myself! :rofl:
Do you own a laptop?
Yes, 2.16 MacTel MacBookPro :up:Quote:

Q: How often do you reformat your main computer's hard disk?
I run 2 disks. The OS disk gets reformatted maybe every 3-6 months when I do a fresh install, the data disk almost never.
Why do I always seem to be unlucky with hardware when I tinker with it?
Eller
I run mine almost the same way. :)Quote:

He already has them!
Was Bioshock for $5 a good deal?
After I played it a day or so it got boring for me. $5, maybe, but really depends upon what you like to spend on your entertainment.
Have you ever farted in a public place not anticipating it smelling like death, but it did & what did you do? (fart_plume is eliminated from answering this question btw.)
Nah, never had it smell like death while I'm around other people. I have, however, had my friend Hilary smell some extremely hot sauce: Blair's Mega Death (as per my avatar). Somehow, she got a tiny drop in her nose, and had cold wet paper towels and ice up her nose for about half an hour! Goes to show just how :banana::banana::banana::banana:ing hot that stuff can be!
Channel Well or Seasonic?
Either.
DO you sometimes find yourself looking at computer hardware thinking what would be nice to have, even though you don't really need it?
Shut up--it's an addiction.
Seasonic or CWT?
Seasonic!
What is your favorite sport to watch and then to play?
Watch: women's gymnastics!!!!!!
Play: hockey...
Season.... err... do you shave your facial hair?
I do, although I need to shave again :P

Fallout 3 is fun.
Was it a bad idea to buy an $800 CD? It's 13 months, 3.2% APY.
Bad idea? I'd say no, but it's about the same yield as a passbook savings at the local credit union. Contrary to that, if you are like me, it's better to be out of sight & out of mind.
Do you have any interesting stories you could tell us? .... and don't be shy!
Once I photochopped a guy into a Pink tutu.
How long before that goes away?
Don't you know that it will not unless somebody boots the internet in safe mode & removes it manually? You do know the internet runs on WinMe right?
So............................. Looking at my stats, am I contributing to WCG like I should?
No the illness is gainin' on you you must increase your production like myself. Only problem is the transportation issue. UPS and FedEx are screwing my packadges over shipped the Dec. 26th and wont get here till the Jan 2nd and 3rd dam holidays!!! grrrrr (not the tony the tiger there grrrrr ate)
Which is better to take for a cold.... chicken noodle soup or chicken/beef broth?
Chicken noodle soup. Makes barfing more interesting. :up: :rotf:
Do you use Ventrillo or TeamSpeak?
Vent :)
DFI X58 or Blood Rage?
Well, both boards are going to give you more OC'ing options than you can possibly need to use, so it's up to you :P I'd be something inclined to go for the DFI board.
G.Skill or Corsair 3x2 Gb DDR3 RAM? Both 1600 Mhz, CL8 or CL9.
Eller
DFI
oh oh ninja posted.......
go for 3*1GB instead of 3*2GB and Gskill they have always treated me nicely especially with my rma's
Do you prefer cream soda or root beer?
Root Beer
i7 or Core2Duo for your next cruncher?
i7 920
Debating which board... any thoughts?
If you are buying right now & money isn't an object, go the Bloodrage route. I personally can't stand DFI's BIOS options (mainly because I don't understand all of them & what they do :) ).
I like big butts and I can not lie. You other brothers can't deny.
Can you Deny?
You know we Wisconsinites love da cures and we love our cheese!
What are you planing on having tonight for supper; a meal of some sort or pizza and beer/hard liquor?
Dinner..........? I have no idea..........something preferably edible and some what warm.:shrug:
When was the last time you spend a small window of time pondering life?
A few days ago. I spend all too much time pondering life.
Which game should I play first, when I get back to Florida?
Bioshock
Orange Box
STALKER Clear Sky
STALKER Shadows of Chernobyl
Civilization 3 Complete (I'll play this game on my laptop--it's the only one that fits!)
Civilization 4 Complete (I've already played this quite a bit, since I had it before I got Steam)
Play Bioshock & get it over with. GOW2 on xbox live is awesome btw!
What is your favorite seasoning on meats? (sorry, I just did some curry chicken with veggies in my new cast iron skillet :) )
Hot sauce. :lol:
Did you just lose... THE GAME?
No, I didn't.
How are you spending the New Years Eve?
At home, playing rockband and ping pong with some of my parents friends.
Do you keep a closet of computer hardware boxes or old hardware?
both some have hardware some don't.
how many people think that all those people that make the new years resolution to quit smoking will follow though with it and how many will laps (do this in % format)
% that will keep the resolution after 6 months?
% that will give up the resolution after 4 weeks?
4 weeks: 5% still
6 months: <1% still
Who did you vote for in the election?
Nobody, under 18 :/
Think nader will run next election?
If he wants to waste his time & take votes away from a better suited candidate he will.
Anyways...............
Who's the one they call Dr. Feelgood?
my hand ...... ok i am kiddin'; wasn't there a song by motley crew.
If I have 4 sets of ram and only 3 mobos should I sell one?
No, it just means you have the start for your next cruncher rig. That, or spares for an existing one.
I have a Sammy backplate. Does this now mean I have to buy a Sammy rig in order to put it to use?
Eller
or send the sammy plate to someone else.
do you prefer your women older or younger then you?
youngerQuote:

Nope, I never keep them anyways. lol

Does anyone else use any pci video cards in their crunchers?
No PCI cards here. The two rigs I'm running currently both have 8800GT's in them... I do have a few oldies in the basement collecting dust. I need to get rid of all my crap stuff!!!!!
Did you know it is impossible to lick your elbow?
Nah, but I hear the Radeon 2400 Pro or GeForce 8400 GS are fine PCI cards. I'm tempted to pick up a few--they'd be useful.Quote:
