Thought I'd contribute since I'm new here.


My cousin on the left.


You are all too attractive to compete with, though.

Can I have her number? Both good looking people.

I absolutely loved this movie. I could list reasons why, but everyone gets the idea. The movie is just downright beautiful. I watched the movie at an IMAX in 3d. I?m not sure if watching it without 3d would have changed my impression at all. It took me awhile to get use to some of the visual blurriness in the background using the glasses. I recommend anyone who hasn?t seen it, to see it. I feel a little femmy saying this, but Titanic is another one of my favorite movies.

Character development is my only criticism of the movie. There?s not a lot of transition from, ?Jake Sully, just doing his job?, to, ?Jake Sully, empathetic towards the Na?vi?. His personal conflict didn?t really portray on screen very well.

The criticism I don?t understand is the predictability of the plot. Any plot is fine if it?s executed well. How many times must Mario save the queen from Bowser before we get tired of the games? Never!

Which part wasn't a personal attack?

The part where you assumed everyone from Geeksquad (where he works) knew nothing and got paid too much?

Or the part where you actually said:

He could of been more helpful in his first post, but he's not at work, he gave the OP a few ideas of what to look for.

On the other hand YOU came in and made it your prerogative to make a personal slight against him and where he works.

Lesson learned for you?

Fair enough. Conversation is over.

This countdown has sparked alot of interest in other communities.

The recommended total Power Supply Wattage gives you a general idea on what to look for BUT it is NOT a crucial factor in power supply selection! Total Amperage Available on the +12V Rail(s) is the most important, followed by the +5V amperage and then the +3.3V amperage.

GPU's draw power from the +12V rail and cheap PSU's often/sometimes don't have that much on the +12V so if you have a "cheap" (not always so easy to know) model you might want to take that into consideration.

PSU's degrade after time. I believe it is around 5-10% loss per year and quality of the PSU most likely affect this too. They can also not run on max power for any long periods so the bigger buffer you have the better in the long run.

Also, you will not get a linear 100% boost in most games from SLI, atleast not from what I have read. But that was some time ago so you might want to read up on that. Newer single cards draw less power but are still more powerful then older SLI cards.

Maybe take a look on Tomshardware.com 's GPU charts and see if you can find a card thats faster then 2 8600GT cards and see if you can buy that instead.

Rousse those Wiki's are correct but they lack many details, the men who pull the strings count on the publics ignorance. Roughly 4 years ago I wanted to learn about investing so I started reading books and doing research to learn more, and I did but I also discovered some scary stuff I did not intend to learn. What I discovered was a huge crash was coming, and the savviest of the rich had positioned themselves for it and were counting on it. I learned the history of money and discovered how our real wealth was robbed from us. Along with a great many other things our government is doing, both parties, that is concerning.

America is still the easiest place to become wealthy so I'm not down on this country, if you learn the trends and learn to ride those waves then opportunity here id wonderful. So it's not all doom and gloom, it is angering though on the level that the average person is going to get screwed in this because they didn't devote their time to these things, they chose to be a teacher, an accountant, etc. and for that they are penalized and that makes me mad. I would rather be just a system engineer and not think about stuff like this, but circumstances won't allow that if I want to make sure I retire with some dignity.

Here is a short list of a few I've come across over the years, a mostly video bread crumb trail for any who want it, this will lead you to more. I'll say up front, I do not necessarily agree with every point in all of these, some truths though are obvious and easy to pick out. Overall though the message is the same. How can I say much of what I do with confidence? I had a few wake calls like at this convention put on by Robert Kiyosaki I attended in Los Angles in 2006, this video (which I didn't record) was made 2 years before the stock market crash.

Where are we at in this crash? These charts are a good indicator

This is what the FED doesn't want you know, BTW many of the views here come from the Austrian school of economics, I tend to agree with it. The one that people like Paul Krugman are embracing is from the Keynesian economics. I think the Keynesian's are in for a rude awakening.

How long ago did we know a crash was coming? We had a clue since the early 1930's thanks to Nikolai Kondratieff

A lot of good video's on gold and silver, yes I do believe it's going to be a good store of wealth, the hero's of Diablo may have been on to something collecting all that gold.

I kick it old school with a GeForce 6200. Its enough to run wow perfect with 2.5 gigs of ram. I most likely wont have a new comp by the time d3 comes out..or i might, i have no clue really. Is there anyway to MAKE my comp sli compatible ?

Unfortunately no Umpa, your Motherboard would have to have the SLI already built in. Most likey since your using a 6200 it is probably AGP which means your Motherboard does not support any of the new cards which are all PCI express...So basically to get SLI you would need to get a motherboard that is already SLI compatible. I am hoping that when Diablo 3 comes out the Minimum requirements won't be to bad... judging from the game play vid though, I would say that they are not to demanding. Also...if you don't plan on getting a new PC by launch time...I would look into the 6600 it is a really nice AGP card I use to own it..you might be able to find it on newegg. As far as your Random Access Memory goes AKA RAM, I would say that you have a good amount...If I was not helpful enough please let me know.
