    Don't have one in particular but there are a few that I like, such as the Bourne trilogy and witty films such as Lucky Number Slevin, Burn After Reading and of course, Pulp Fiction. I found the Godfather triolgy kind of boring though.

    Why does everybody love the Godfather trilogy?

    Dunno, I honestly don't watch too many movies so I wouldn't know, haven't actually seen it...
    The first part of that statement tends to not go over too well for me though, seeing as I'll usually just have to try to nod my head/BS my way through when movie quotes come up in conversations
    I just don't have the motivation to spend money on movies, or even pirate them most of the time (I suppose that's the good part).

    So I'm at page 14 of my portion of my senior design team's final report, how many pages do you think I'll finish at? I started this about 7 hours ago

    Air. Saves money to buy moar crunchers. Unless you're working on a mass-cooling system.

    2-3 Q6600 rigs, one Harpertown, or one Nehalem?

    Weather report shows a sweltering high of -1F, along with it maybe being a little cool during the other parts of the day at -50F windchill.

    Time for double questions.
    Will it ever be possible for me to handle living somewhere where it rarely snows, if at all?
    Are you more of a hot or cold person?

    Yes, you can handle living somewhere it rarely/never snows.
    I'm more of a cold person, though I moved from New York to Florida to escape the cold weather. Rather, shoveling snow and my high school, but cold weather none the less!
    It's 6:50AM and a freezing 73F here.

    What Universities should I consider for a business degree? I'm already considering NYU and Columbia, but what else? Mind you, my ultimate aspiration will be to become an officer of a Fortune500 company, which entails quite a bit of qualification and knowledge.

    Some good luck for 2009 for a change. It's always been either health or financial problems. I have taken the initiative to change my career path though. Classes start tomorrow night

    I'm eager to see the FS section. Is it worth it?

    A: Nope.

    Q: I got me a Dell Mini 9 netbook last month, but I always leave it on 24/7 as it is still very cool. Is that bad?

    Not too bad. Get your use out of it. I have an EeePC 900 from May, and that runs quite often. They get hot, though.

    Want to see my city on SimCity 4? It's awesome.

    OK - but we can't really appreciate it from a screen shot can we?

    Can you make your own moral/legal rules in SimCity? Like can you have legal prostitution, drug use, gambling, death matches, etc.?

    We can only hope that we can make our own rules.

    What is the coldest temperature you have been in?

    The lowest I've ever seen is like -196C. Boiling liquid nitrogen from some stupid science thing at my old elementary school.

    Probably around -40 Celsius (and Fahrenheit, was surprised to see that it's the same in both scales). Finland is a cold place, I tell you.

    *waits for people from Siberia come in and laugh and my warm temperatures*



    HOLY EPIC NINJA POSTERS. I have no idea what praying for blue means, please do enlighten me. *feels ignorant*

    What's the hottest temperature that you've been in? Mine is 120 degrees Celsius or 248 Fahrenheit, good ol' Finnish sauna.

    Hmm a kitchen at McDonald's in the middle of summer when the air-con had packed it in. Was probably 40-50°C in there, and the middle of lunch rush to boot. Almost had a couple of people pass out from heat exhaustion God I don't miss that job at all

    Do you realistically think we'll regularly start hitting 7 million points per day some time this year?

    Sure we will. I just moved from a 3,6 Q6600 to 2,66 Nehalem (gotta keep it stock for memory tests), that's one step towards 7 million

    Ever seen a Phenom w/o IHS? if not, any CPU with IHS removed?

    Not seen a Phenom de-lidded, but I did see a cool lap job on a quad-core where some of the IHS was left on, but the cores were exposed.

    How much do you think my CyberDruid build would sell for? Not sure if I'd really part with it tho!

    Nope. I've had insomnia from whatever, but not really a dream that kept me up all night. Maybe some horror-story , but never really all night.

    Do you like hot sauces?
