Weekend Discussion
by Chris Faylor, May 02, 2009 7:56am PDTBoy, waking up on Saturday to the realization that you made a terrible mistake the night before is a real downer. I saw this band, Von Iva, last night, and I wanted to buy a shirt, but they didn't have the shirt I liked in medium, only small. So I bought the small.
Holding it up to my body, it sure looked like it would fit, but putting it on this morning, well, it's a little too tight and form-fitting. I know, I should have tried it on before I left the bar, but I was so excited! Alas, a lesson learned (again) and a comfy sleep shirt gained.

They had a "Description" field. I decided to get technical and left this: "Both sticks of RAM in system, no boot. Pulled single stick labeled "BAD" and system boots fine. Wow that reminds me, I have more RAM to RMA but I can't sacrifice it cuz I have to keep this other POS machine operating. Ya know, I never had any issues with Kingston... (This is sent to Corsair)
Lol just kidding, I'm a brand whore and will continue to use your memory as long as I'm in charge of building this crap. For the most part you guys have a solid product and I respect that. I will continue to buy your crap, and occasionally recommend it to others. Oh, and tell your boss you're all fgts, out loud, on video, or I'm going gskill. And if you're not already a Shacker(Shacknews.com), it's like geeks+girls+closethomosexuality. Because granted if you're reading this right now, you REALLY need to get laid, and Shacknews? It gets you chicks. Oh and insert Gamefly reference here (fukin console fags amirite?)
I sincerely hope my mindless blathering put a smile on your face, and that you truly do enjoy your day at work, what you do is VERY important to Corporate America and holy shit ahahaha if you got sucked into that you're obviously a GIANT PHAGGOT.
Oh by the way my RAM is busted. Fuck."

My friend is trying to do a clean install of XP on his Vista machine. We tried two different XP discs, but everytime it enters XP setup we get BSOD after it loads files for setup. Specifically when it says "loading windows".

Anyway the article also linked to a demonstration video created by Reznor et al showing what it does and it is fucking amazing. Just an awesome example of what can be done with the hardware and how many innovative ways you can tie a community together. You should watch it!

I don't think it's a problem with my system, but it could be. And yes, I Googled it, and searched the Shack's comments as well, and have tried some suggestions, but nothing has worked. Any ideas?

Do I really need to spend $90 on a sound card? Is onboard sound not good enough for a simple 2.1 speaker setup/headphones?
OEM parts won't come with any cables right? So any hard drive or DVD drive that's OEM I'll need to buy SATA and power cables for?
Is the extra memory on the ATI GPUs worth anything (1gb vs. 896mb on a lot of Nvidia cards)? And how do I tell which Geforce 260s are the reloaded refresh and which are the original version? I'm finding MWave's listing pretty fucking confusing (going with MWave so they can assemble it for me unless Newegg comes out to be like $150+ cheaper)

Reading through a couple of different news sources this morning, it sounds like the Liberals are gearing up for another election. Are we getting to the point that with so many elections in such a short period of time, the populace stops caring or they just vote for the same guy that they usually vote for because there is no real reason for change? EI eligibility, a new Liberal platform and Harper being a tool is hardly a reason for yet another election. If another one were called, nobody would give a shit and we would be in the same minority boat (probably a Liberal minority this time).
