I have the marks to get into medicine and shit, but if I become a doctor or a dentist, I sure won't love my job. I'd rather be a computer enginner or something like that, but they get paid less.

Hi everyone, so I was wondering, I have on board sound and it has worked fine for me for quite some time however recently it has started making a nasty grinding sound when I move my mouse or maximize/minimize windows and other wackiness.
its time for a new sound card.
So can any shacker recommend a middle of the road sound card that will have no limiting factors in performance for games?
thanks
not as pretensious as one might thing
10) Leviathan – Mastodon … what if Moby Dick was a hessher pothead really pissed about Ahab and decided to write an album about it?
9) This Pen Is A Weapon – The Ghost … viva le screamo! Some of the crankiest indie to come out this year. Turn this up and drive fast.
8) Blue Cathedral – Comets on Fire … this shit is biblical, reign of fire and hail of toads psychedelia. Eight tracks of aural LSD that will have Alice thrashing about with the mad hatter under the table at the tea party ..
7) Since We Last Spoke – RJD2 … building on Deadringer, this is the best electronica/turntable album of the year hands down. Smooth beats for a space-age bachelor pad.
6) The Greater Wrong of the Right – Skinny Puppy ... proving that Ogre and cEVin can still make cerebral ultra-heavy beats that will inspire your groove and implode your psyche.
5) Our Endless Numbered Days – Iron & Wine … ashes and the spirit of Faulkner embodied in perfected acoustic bliss. low lights some merlot and someone soft and warm and this album is the key to a higher plane of being
4) Antics – Interpol … everything great about Turn on the Bright Lights minus the filler. Great sophomore release from one of the best dressed bands out there ;)
3) Panopticon – Isis … a slow moving behemoth which is probably what Mogwai would sound like if they traded in their noisefuck tendencies for some Foucault and old metal albums
2) You Are the Quarry – Morrissey … the child of the 80’s in me feels compelled to put this at number one, because it was easily one of the best albums of the year musically (and politically) proving the man still has it after all these years despite a run of shite solo albums. Since he cancelled his ONE Houston show (the first in like 10 years) he can piss off.
1) Final Straw – Snow Patrol … brit-pop at its finest placing these guys along side The Jesus and Mary Chain and Mogwai in the ranks of “greeht fookin’ bands from Scotland ya punterâ€Â, hands down the most addictive album of the year.

Even relatively weak movies like Rollerball deserve more respect than this remake.
Has anyone seen a reimagining that measured up to the original?

Venger said I should post this - and he's a fine young chap, so I will. I posted the first scans from my new high end film scanner earlier in Werd - later someone asked me to scan a small part of the photo at high res.
This is her hand, http://staging.granite-nmp.com/temp/hand.jpg
from this photo, http://staging.granite-nmp.com/temp/mandy_02_col.jpg
The PSD is twice that size, but it's sorta a bit too big to be meaningful, a finger that takes up an entire screen is a bit incohesive. So the jpg is 1/2 the size of the actual scan. Guess Nikon know what they're doing, and stuff... 90 megapixels, yikes.
I am in love :~)

Tonight my employer is having a party for employees, open bar, free food, etc. I'd almost like to pull a Tucker Max, but that's not a good idea. Here are some goals I've set for myself:
1. Fuck one of the 20 eighteen year old blonde waitresses in a restroom.
2. Drink the owner under the table (oh yes).
3. Convince my manager I need a raise
4. Did I mention drink?
Any more good ideas?

Never in my life have I seen such poor quality pictures. The colors are terrible and the resolution is ridiculous (512x672 WTF). The best part? The digital copy came on a floppy which my machine can barely read.

So I'm playing on going to Vancouver, BC for New Years Eve and I'm looking up places to stay.
The last time I traveled there I spent most of the time on the Granville strip (with the tourists) and some of the time by some pudno bars on Cambie St. (with the locals). I'm looking to stay in the tourist area, and unfortunetly, I can't remember what part of Granville and Cambie St. that the tourist area is.
From this map http://travel.yahoo.com/p-travelguide-577440-map_of_vancouver-i;_ylt=AsqIoqcVdTV0eqrXoqgOzUMZFmoL - can you tell me if that area is by the northern piece of land that says "downtown", or in the middle where it says "Vancouver", or is it south of that? I'd really appreciate it, thanks.
