Morning Discussion
by Alice O'Connor, Aug 14, 2009 7:00am PDTI dislike the phrase "The best thing since sliced bread," because sliced bread really isn't all that great. Your loaf is all cut to the same thickness, with no degree of customisation or finesse for particular roles, and you're stuck eating the same type of bread until you've eaten it all or it goes stale--which happens sooner with sliced.
No, "The best things since rolls" would make far more sense. Rolls are perfectly sized units of bread with complete crust coverage. Each roll is self-contained, meaning you can mix and match as many different styles as you please, and buy only as many as you need. Let's hear it for rolls! Thus concludes Wot Alice Ate Week. See you in 2010.
Lastly, watching QuakeCon at work is no fun--believe me, I know--so get in on the id Software fun by playing the Flash id Triple Pack over on GameFly-owned Ponged.

Do you see anything that might cause problems if I tried to install OSX on a machine with this buildout:
CPU - CoreT i7-920 2.66 GHz
MOTHERBOARD - Asus P6T Deluxe V2 Intel X58
RAM - 12GB (2GBx6) DDR3/1600MHz Triple Channel Memory
PSU - Sigma Shark SP-635W PSU
VIDEO - GeForce GTX275 896MB
HDD - Intel X25-M 80 GB
I'm about to do a full system upgrade and I want to be sure and get something that I can install OSX on without too much trouble. Thanks!

I have a map that lists some local mountain bike trails but the colour of the trails on the map are lighter than the roads. I'd prefer to have the trails/trail number black and the roads/symbols grey (opposite of current format) so it will stand out better when printed.
I don't have any tools or skills to modify PDFs or images. Hoping someone knows a simple process to accomplish this and can explain it.
Map is available here: http://www.canadascapital.gc.ca/data/2/rec_docs/12974_P-116-06_MtnBikeBroInside.pdf

new class combinations, old world revamp, more phasing!
Ill cut to important stuff ;
Dragon Age: Origins
Do not judge this game based on the screenshots and videos released thus far.( I know a lot of people on the Shack do)
1) The game is gorgeous and plays very smoothly.
2) The gameplay is much deeper than recent Bioware titles, it does provide a very immersi e RPG experience.
If anyone has any questions ill try to share what I can from my time with the demo today. I spent numerous sessions playing through it.
Go preorder, now. Its gonna be fantastic.

This'll be my first attempt at overclocking the CPU. I figure I can get the 2.66ghz up to 3.5 at least, from what I've been reading.
Anyone know of any good tutorial sites or must-read articles about overclocking?
