Morning Discussion
by Jeff "geedeck" Gondek, Dec 06, 2007 7:37pm PSTSo who is glad to see Friday? Yeah me too. So what do you guys think of these statements made by Red Octane about guitar controllers? Sure there's a quality issue with Rock Band hardware for now, but is the situation permanent? Also, Beats is now available for PSP Download, which is neat to see Sony doing. At $5 it seems pretty tempting to see how it would treat some Daft Punk.
So what's everyone playing for the weekend? Post it in this thread, and I'll toss out a set of BioShock theme and gamer picture pack for 360 to someone at random.

She works(ed) for Ed Rosenthal (God of Ganja) and they put out a book called the Big Book of Buds. This book talks about marijuana strains, how they grow, where they are found, smoke, smell, taste, etc. These books are basically the "Holy Grail" if you like MJ and can appreciate it.
Anyways, they had a contest to put their videos on your blog and you could win the book signed by Ed. Long story short, I won! I bet a lot of people won though :( . I can't wait to get the book and having it signed by Ed is great.
lol potheads :(

I am trying to fix a very old pc (thunderbird 1ghz, 256mb ram, windows me (!)...) that has the following symptoms: the system hangs after the verifying dmi pool data message and beeps like crazy. the strange thing is, that when it hangs and I press the reset button, it boots normally. when I power it down and turn it back on it hangs again.
I've already looked in google and tried the following things:
- tried different harddisk
- tried loading setup defaults
- tried resetting configuration data in bios to force the dmi pool to update
- tried disconnecting everything else
- cleaned the pc
- tried different ram slot
- right now I am trying to disable the internal and external cpu cache (read that suggestion in a forum), boot windows and then enable only the external cache again. I highly doubt that this will work though. also it makes the computer really really really slow.
any suggestions? please help me shack, I'm desperate over here :(

So, while I'm in Japan, it makes it really easy to travel through Asia. Only problem is that Japan was my main goal, so I have no clue what the rest of Asia offers. I'm looking to do some tours or something in January, and the decently-priced packages (like US$300 for 5-day trips, it's crazy-cheap) I've seen are mostly for Seoul, Hong Kong, Thailand, Taiwan, Taipei, and a few others.
Any thoughts? Where's your favorite place in mainland Asia?

Are you running it on a desktop or a laptop? My wife has Vista Business on her laptop and it is so fucking slow. The laptop is less than a year old (Dell Inspiron 640m: C2D processor, 1GB RAM, crap onboard video), but I can run circles around it on my 2 year old PowerBook. It takes forever to boot up, the network connection is flaky as hell, apps are extremely slow to boot and close. My wife's favorite game, The Sims 2, takes nearly 5 minutes to load. Basically, it sucks.
I'm wondering if I should wipe the HDD and put Windows XP on it, or if there's some magical fix that will make Vista pick up the goddamn pace.

You know that movie Twins, where Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny De Vito were twin brothers? And you know how Arnold got all the good stuff, so he was all built and shit, and then De Vito got all the shitty leftovers which is why he was short and stumpy and ugly and noone liked him because he was just a complete reject?
Luigi = De Vito.

If for some reason you are like me and gave up on this show during the lulls post New Caprica, you are retarded. What the fuck were you thinking? There were lulls in season 2 but the story was still good. And then the show came back and punched you in the face. You should have known that S3 would do the same thing.
Words do not express how there are parts of my brain now on the floor after watching that. I have shit to do right now but what I really want to do is watch Razor.
