No wonder people whine about intel CPU's
I've got this new box here (whitebox clone from a small local store) with an intel P4 in it....
Anyhow I know on paper / benchmarks they run hotter - that's fine, I accept that but wow - just wow... WOW
this thing is HOT like, I'm only formatting a hard disk with the XP installer CD (what 3% cpu?) and the fan is going nuts - on / off / on / off thermal management
but the heat - I opened the case and - well I've never felt such warm air - it's like..... I can't estimate? 45-55c AIR being blown off - let alone the actual temp of the core - it's heated this whole case in only 15 minutes and yeah basically it really is seriously like a very small heater
Weird because to my knowledge it's only a 2.8ghz model (but brand new? - Prescott? dunno) but my home one is a 3ghz P4 but 18 months old (.13 micron - I dunno) anyhow it's substantially less hot.

Anybody have any experience with these? It sounds like exactly what I'm looking for to...extend...wireless range... and it'd be much easier to setup than an access point which I'd have to run cable for. Newegg seems to like it, and hey, if there's anything I can trust, it's newegg reviews why what's this link in ER...

*Is there a chart somewhere that will help me map my weight to a board length?
*How do binding sizes compare with boot sizes? (i.e. which size binding would go with which size boot?)
For example how much bandwidth would one use? I know most of it is alleviated due to how BT works but would you still need quite abit to dedicate towards it? If so how much per month? 20 gb, 60gb, 100gb?
I know it depends on how popular it is.. but what's a good estimate of bw usage for say thousands of downloads a day.
Also does a tracker use much resources? Would it be ok on a shared server? etc.. etc..

Ignoring "could of spent" *shivers* this article still has my draw in dropping form.
I'll put the police report in reply but here is the summary. 12 year old steals car with brother (6). Cops think its a stalled motorist and then think its a drunk driver. They block the car in and then she hits the cop cars. Cop gets out while she is hitting the cars and when she continues the cop thinks he might get run over so he shoots at the car and gets out of the way. She drives a bit further and wrecks the car. Punishment for such acts? Ten fucking years!
What in the FUCK? How can putting a pre-teen away for all of her teenage years and then some do anyone any good? And what the hell happened to the whole out at 18 stuff? I take it she had to be tried as an adult to get that kind of punishment so I take it this will be on her record forever. How can you expect a 12 year old to understand that shit?
One of the cops killed? Maybe. Murder in the first? Okay. Worse then that? Sure! But for that?! 10 years?

A co-worker wants a nice case, but not a tricked up one (lights or windows).
Any recommendations on what case or where to buy one?

This is my second favorite course, after Gulliver's House II. The open-sided s turn after the first dragon's head is a little tricky, but I LOVE going into that lava room... it just looks so damn cool. Hard to believe this game is 9 years old.
If you missed the post last night, here's Gulliver's House II:

Wichita KS police are investigating the 14th homocide this year. Not bad for August. However, this poor guy was shot twice in the stomach and was out on the street rolling around screaming for pain. Pretty average except for the interview of a lady on the radio ...
"I was drivin around late last night with my windows down and I was on my cellphone and I heard this guy screaming in pain and rollin around and well I thought it was a practical joke." yea - she didn't bother to dial 911 and kept driving. Wtf?

I think he should shut the fuck up real fast. Who does he think he is telling people how to name their chars? Plus clogging the GM-ticketservice with his elitist rollplaying bullshit deprives other people of their well-deserved support on REAL issues. Commie-bastard.

So I just watched that movie of the King Kong game - that video has serious framerate issues - it doesn't say which version of the game that video comes from.. I am hoping it's taken from the gamecube version or something - looks really bad if it's a capture from the 360 or PC :(

Ok guys, saw this on SA and thought it would be fun here too. Basically, you make a haiku (five syllables, then seven, then five again) that describes a game, and people have to guess what the game is. Whoever guesses gets to make more. Here are three to start us off:
1.
Sacrifice is great
We shall avenge our fathers
Kharak is burning
2.
Sexy super spy
The pupet makes demands
She protects freedom!
3.
insolent redhead
floating mouth hides secrets
many bound to one
