    Then find the stock market tanks(investors get what's happening) My portfolio was down a nice 5% today.... Here's my "change". LOL!!!!

    Not a good couple 'o days.

    ime a socialist

    Which explains so much...

    Inluding your support of Obama <_<

    Yeah, I literally got in and out within 10 minutes here. No lines at all. Good first experience!

    I was a little anxious/nervous never having done it before - didn't want to screw up!

    Goodjob!! Too many in your age group dont care. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

    I pray Obama will be good for our country. He has the "energy" running through America. Goodluck Mr Obama! :)

  4. Nvidia Sales

    If this is serious research, say for investment purposes, it would be a good idea to poke around the serious hardware sites (i.e., not the gaming or general tech sites). There are people who believe that NVIDIA's long-term prospects aren't great because the market is heading back toward highly-integrated and general-purpose hardware and that could give Intel and AMD an insurmountable advantage.

    Thanks Jc.

    It's not for investment purposes per say, but mainly a quick trade. Earnings reports for Nvidia come out Thursday and I have a hunch analysts have under-estimated the company. Market-independent wild swings here lately seems to suggest the same.

    Would the folks that follow internet forums and/or are in the know, inform me on how "Nvidia" products are doing? Do you feel more/less people are buying them here lately? Any good/bad hype about their products on the message boards?

    Same with the Macbooks, how are they doing? Is the AIR selling well?

    Odd questions i know...

  12. Why Don't You Like Vista?

    Ive mainly only used when networking some (PCs) together, and even then I hated it.

    The My Network area is fairly confusing. It feels like to do some things you have to go around the sun to get to the moon.

    Oh, and what happened to "Repair This Connection" to renew the Ip address? Now you have to "Diagnose" then "Repair"? Takes way too long!

    Seems like Microsoft changed a lot of stuff to either make it different, or to dumb it down. I must say, I need a laptop. This may push me to Apple :o

    LOTS of money has flown into SE Alabama thanks to the Iraq war. Sikorsky has tripled in size, adding lots of well paying tech jobs. Same with US/Bell Helicopter. COntractors in Fort Rucker Alabama, the Army's Helicopter pilot training facilities have added many jobs. The nurmerous small manufacturing companies supplying these folks have grown.
    And if you count tanks and planes as "production" then yes, GDP skyrockets, but tanks and planes do not improve anyone's standard of living.

    J, sorry, but you are wrong here. The thousands employed just in the immediate area working to keep the military supplied with helicopters and pilots will disagree. The kids getting a free education from military contractors that need skilled techinical workers will disagree. And virtually any store owner around here will disagree, as w/o the steady income of the contracters, the local economy would crash.

    "Thanks to the Iraq War? Come on Bubba Bob, I sincerely hope that you are not trying to justify war as a legitimate ecomonic stimulus. ....Are you?

    Oh G-d, Of course not! :wacko:

    I usppose that sounds a little... bad... over the 'net. However, it IS a certain extent thanks to the Iraq war.

    Mine's still the same (from WAY back when) -- Entirely black with just My Computer and the Recycle Bin icons.

    Same here.

    A flat grey-ish color (very easy on the eyes) with just a handfull of icons.

    The fun-factor of the PC has completly left me I guess.

    Can't get any better than "GOT3" fluid. :lol:

    Master/Slave cylinders seems to be one of the most common items that fail either right out of the box, or shortly there after. Good idea keeping the proof of purhcase...

  24. My Girl Friend Is Cheating On Me!

    in The Comedy Club

    Posted

    I've never talked about this before, but I really need advice on what could be a crucial decision. I've suspected for some time now that my girlfriend has been cheating on me.

    The usual signs... Phone rings but if I answer, the caller hangs up.

    My girlfriend has been going out with the girls a lot recently although when I ask their names she always says, 'Just some friends from work, you don't know them.'

    I always stay awake to look out for her taxi coming home, but she always walks down the drive. Although I can hear a car driving off, as if she has gotten out of the car round the corner. Why? Maybe she wasn't in a taxi?

    I once picked her cell phone up just to see what time it was and she went berserk and screamed that I should never touch her phone again and why was I checking up on her.

    Anyway, I have never approached the subject with my girlfriend I think deep down I just didn't want to know the truth, but last night she went out again and I decided to really check on her.

    I decided I was going to park my car next to the garage and then hide behind it so I could get a good view of the whole street when she came home. It was at that moment, crouching behind my car, that I noticed that the brackets on my exhaust seemed to be broken off.

    Is this something I can fix myself or should I take it back to the dealer?
