Overflowing toilets
Probably one of the most memorable moments in my life. A few months back after having what I like to call a very 'successful' attack on the toilet, the toilet decides it has had enough of my crap (heh) and spits it all back out flowing all the way out into the hallway and halfway into the living room and one of the bedrooms.
The only part that sucked more was cleaning it up at 4 in the morning, barefoot because my shoes were on the other side of the house that I couldnt get to because of the river of poo in the middle.
Like i'll go out and buy three different models of... game machines, or bikes, or plane tickets or hookers.
Then review them, then sell the ones i dont like on ebay.
and claim it ALL on tax...
I could even run a year long 'review' of supermarkets and their effectiveness at supplying an average shopping bill. ie, mine.
sweeet.

Best answer from an in-house CNN tech was something like "I can't show you - it runs BEHIND THE REGISTRY!!!!11"

The IT world is full of dumb fuckers who blame companies for their own ineptitude and lack of skills. If I hear one more person bash MS for making a crappy OS or Dell for making "bad computers" just because they can't stop downloading spyware and viruses...

I'm inspired by Silent wolf's sort of poll and I'm wondering something myself. I don't make a lot of root posts anymore, but this occurred to me and I was wondering what people thought....
so do you think, personally, based on all the hype and media and shit that you've seen that the PS3 will be more powerful than the X Box 360 or not?
What makes you think so, and how much more powerful do you think it will be?

After a 10 year hiatus, I have now returned to chasing skirts and drinking too much studying and doing homework. Strangest thing happened while I was gone. All the girls there, they're the same age they were when I left. God Bless America.
Wish me well fellow college menz, I have returned.

The water for our shower is stuck on. I think the center hub shifted so it's not turning off all the way. Anyone know how to get those things off?
It's one of those single handle ones that has constant water pressure and the hub controls the temperature (actually made by Valley Faucets).

Anything in Ontario (Canada) would be a bonus, but I need something pretty fast.
Hostvector.com looked great last night, at just $4.95 / month.

Any suggestions?

I don't have any intentions of using SLI, but it seems a lot of the high end boards have it whether you want it or not.

Anyone done it before? How was it?
