I belong to the "break" category.
It's s....l....o.....w. But being able to surf/type in the car makes up for it. :p
What is the hardest part of eating a vegetable?
The wheelchair.
That made me smile today.
Did you mean eating or being a vegetable? I don't get it.Quote:

God it's not even funny anymore. You're making me frown today, Ani.
Do vegetative people usually sit in a wheelchair? I'd imagine they spent much more time laying in bed.
It was a fine joke to begin with but Ani not getting it made it even funnier.
I don't think abuse of comatose patients is anything to joke about or laugh at. I remember the scene from Kill Bill. Somethings should not be joked about or treated in a trivial manner.Quote:

No cannibalism, but Uma's character's comatose body is abused by orderlies.
You're in America, it's practically par for the course to make fun of different/unfortunate people here.Quote:

Windows PC? Maybe I can finally have a look at what these famous or infamous FF's are all about.
That won't do you any good, FF11 and FF14 are MMO's, they don't represent what FF is all about at all ;P.
missing a day of work over the weekend, thinking I was fired. Went into work today, everything is good, I still have a job, and was scheduled to have today off anyway. :) (phone died last weekend, so no contact) almost got into an accident this morning cause I was so stressed about losing it, but all is good, and now I can relax at home and watch some shows :)
I like your name, horse.
Finally got upgraded to IE8 from IE6 at work.
Doesn't fix everything, but tabs are a godsend.
You're not allowed to use Firefox/Chrome? :P
Who with the sane mind lets people use IE?! especially at work...
I had a really nice birthday today :).
Edit: Thank you to whoever told me I needed to display my dob on the forum. I is can read good. Though I don't remember blocking that information, and I've had birthday threads before.
This made me smile.
Not only is he on the cover of 2K11, but he's playable as well. :)
I just found this picture of Orihime getting knocked up and then holding her stomach saying "I reject!" (to abort it) I'd post it but I wouldn't want to violate your precious no-porn rule. The FAQ says keep it tasteful and CLEARLY we have different perceptions of taste.
Something should be done about this.
You can always link it right?Quote:

Someboy got confused and sent a text message to a wrong number, that number is mine, the text translated roughly says.
"wow, what a piece of shit, right after you fucked me, i wasn`t expecting that from you, what a humiliation, but i swear, you`ll regret it!"
Gramatical errors not included.
i answer his/her message saying "honestly? it`s cause you were so bad during sex."
Some guy made his own motion control
That is some insanely impressive work, i see great things in his future.
The original 12cm exhaust fan in my Antec case started to exhibit occasional rattling noises, prompting me to seek a solution by acquiring a new fan to replace it. I bought a Noctua fan (I already had an 8cm fan by Noctua). Damn, it's silent. I never realised how much that Antec fan had contributed to my computer's noise level, even when it was still new.
Quite a pricy fan, though. Actually very pricy considering it's just a fan. But the drop in the noise level removed any regrets I might have had.

Have you got the fan running on the full 12V, or did you plug in one of the Low Noise Adapters?Quote:

Apparently undervolting the stock Antec fans are pretty good too, but I haven't personally tried it.
I decided to try running this on full 12V to gain some insight into its full noise level at first. But it was so nicely silent even at full rpm that I saw no reason to slow it down. I had the stock Antec also at full speed. My case isn't really any gamer's case, so I thought it's better to be safe than sorry. Despite being far more silent, I think this Noctua still moves no less air - if not more.
The model is NF-S12B FLX if you are interested.
Although I didn't intend to start a computer part discussion in this thread... It just made me glad that my noisy computer got considerably more silent.
With the help of my cousin I was able to finish an assignment that when I first looked at it yesterday afternoon, seemed impossible.
What was the assignment? :O
Anthrax, Megadeth, Slayer and Metallica at one stage one after another made me smile really hard!
I'm going to sleep - my neck hurts from headbanging too much to use pc..
I want to stab you in the fucking face Xel. I want to see that tour so bad.
Well except for Anthrax. Could have kept it as a thrash tour and replaced Anthrax with Exodus and Destruction.
The setlist was great too:

13. Blackened
14. Nothing Else Matters
15. Enter Sandman
Encore:
16. Stone Cold Crazy (Queen cover)
17. Hit The Lights
18. Seek & Destroy
Pyrotechnical elements were awesome too - Flamethrowers at Fuel, Explosions and fireworks at One, and the big fireworks at, if i remember correctly, Enter Sandman.
I was late for Behemoth(queues for train tickets were so long and the special buses coursing from Central Station to the Bemowo Airfield started at 14 - and behemoth started soon after that).
There were also Helicopter Stunts shown - some guy was making barrel rolls, spirals etc.
P.S. After sleeping my neck hurts more...
Yeah when I saw Metallica do fuel live they almost burned my eyebrows off with the pyro. Man, Rust in Peace performed in its entirety.. I hate living in the asshole of the U.S. Fewer and fewer good acts are coming here and I still have to drive to Memphis to see them.
I got up this morning and went to the GameStop in the mall and was the first one to get the new Xbox 360 S there.
Xbox 360 S 250gb Console - $299.99
Xbox 360 16gb SanDisk Flash Drive - $69.99
4,000 Microsoft Points - $49.99
--
Total $4.41
That made me smile.
Edit. Good look at the new 360.

I just helped convince a friend that a girl having sex with 9 guys over the course of her lifetime does not make her a slut.
Score for the continuing process of eradicating slut-shaming.
Depends on how old she is and how long she's been sexually active. 9 in one year might make her a bit of a slut.Quote:

Having sex with one guy or wearing the "wrong" type of clothing can make you a slut in some circles, but it doesn't make it a valid criticism of a person's identity, and sexual promiscuity isn't inherently bad. Judgment of a person's behavior is 100% divorced from the amount of sex they have. At least, it should be.
In any case, I think I convinced my friend that this girl wasn't a disgusting, immoral tramp just because she had slept with more guys than he found acceptable by arbitrary standards.
Just watched Full Metel Alchemist : Brotherhood 62 and it was f'ing awesome. The subbing was pretty bad but it was probably the best episode so far.
It was for a 3rd year accounting course. You had to explain the implications of a business's different accounts when moving from the current Canadian GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) to either the IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standard) or ASPE (Accounting Standards for Private Enterprise). Tons of fun.Quote:

Apparently the rest of the world is shoving soccer down "real" Americans' throats. WE DON'T WANT IT
(we actually do want it)
Was watching the England game and waiting for the second goal which never came. Anyway I'm glad both the USA and England made it through.
I was assigned a bullshit work assignment today but it ended up being pretty awesome. Watched the World Cup all morning, practiced kanji, and got front-row view of all the incoming freshmen girls.

I picked up my BlazBlue today, and won my first online match with Nu-13 - against guy who was lvl 33!
Instant boost to lvl 10 :D
I attended a work ceremony with an open bar last night, which was interesting, to say the least. I was told that I was the center of someone's morality, then like an hour later ditched my coworkers for a shady hook-up.
Being (wrongly) accused of hacking (without consequence) feels so good. :D
I received an unexpected email from Microsoft that contained a code for 400 free Microsoft Points. I immediately used those points on NeoGeo Battle Coliseum.
nice one, NGBC is awesome btw.
Dudes and hot ladies actually standing up and cheering/dancing/rocking the fuck out to my band tonight.
I've never played to such a responsive crowd.
This made me smile.
Can't wait to play it.
I went to the shooting range today - I've shot 50 bullets using sports pistol, and 5 bullets from glock 17. God how i love glock! Its kick is awesome.

I decided to change my tv package to save money. Currently have directv and it's around $120/month w\ basically every channel.
Wound up getting tv through Verizon Fios and bundling w\ my existing 10mbps/2mbps internet.
Final cost comes out to $100/month for the tv w\ hd dvr and 300+ channels and the internet speed gets bumped to 25mbps/25mbps! I can't wait to test it out.

How cool is that?
That guy needs to make me a portable PS3.

Today I was standing at the vending machine at work and I had a daydream. Me and a bunch of people were selections in a human vending machine. A guy put his money in and I came out, and he said "shit, I always get the bad one" and threw me away.
My brother bought a vuvuzela. It's the gift that keeps on giving.
How adorable is this? I could look at it all day.

I 100% completed Red Dead Redemption today, and that made me smile. It also made me cry a little inside since it was 60 hours of my life of which I could have spent at least 30 hours doing something more productive and worthwhile.
Smile: incredible shows up just in time for when it proves necessary.

Not that I'm saying you're doing that.
I do less calling, more texting, and I've been trying to get a decent mobile web platform since my last phone purchase (which had a browser and a data plan, but was completely useless at actually websurfing). So this phone actually satisfies a big piece of what I wanted from my last phone and didn't get.
Besides, the showoff factor only lasts like .... two days. Pretty much once all your friends have seen it, that's done with.
Nah, the necessity was actually the 2 day power outage that my area got hit with. I got to stay online and do some work despite my whole county being pretty much dark... something my old phone wouldn't have been able to help me with at all.

Pretty cool.

Those are pretty cool, but why don't they take mega pictures of places that are actually interesting and beautiful?
That was really cool. Definitely got me wondering exact shape and weight the objects inside were to create that effect. An empty box wouldn't do that, nor would a full one with secured objects (like books).Quote:

Made me smile because I am part of its development :D.
I watched the movie Precious today. Incredibly funny even though it doesn't try to be.
Every time I see the subtitle of that movie "Based on the novel Push by Sapphire" it makes me think of Sapphire from Gotwoot.
I bought a 2.5" 640GB external HDD for $89 today.
I thought it was a pretty sweet deal. Came with free delivery too (though it meant the delivery man woke me up bright and early.)
Overnight priority shipping? I wish I could get a couple of 2 TB hard drives.(hopefully for 80dollars each :)
You'd have to pay some drug addict to steal them to get them for that price.Quote:

What transfer speeds do you get using USB3?Quote:

My price was only a little cheaper than what I can buy it for normally (and this "special" was from an otherwise generally expensive site), but it's still considered a pretty good buy here. That fact that I could have it with just a click or two made me buy it.
I didn't have time to make lunch this morning but my team got pizza so it kinda panned out nicely.
I'm also getting that same 21MB/s with the USB2 drive. The USB3 drive sports around 51MB/s. I was expecting it to give rates identical to those between internal drives, which are some 20MB/s more, at the very least (well, between my sata and old pata drives, anyway).Quote:

I'm all for screaming over music it just needs to be done right, you need to build up to it and its gotta serve a purpose. A rollercoaster that just goes straight down forever cant be fun and only gonna take you to hell. Wow that was a pretty alright metaphor
you have any of your stuff online Xan?

Nothings made me smile today so far.... albeit Azael's sig got a smirk out of me. Yesterday was a good day tho. Met this girl a while back I could tell we were into eachother right away. She had to get home early so we never talked after that. I had to come back to florida for a bit and that was that. Few weeks ago I guess our friend told her I was talking about her and she added me on facebook but didn't engage anything. Yesterday I felt like talking to someone and just got back into it with her right where we left off. Now I have something strong pulling me back towards Jersey.
And I learned Rocky Raccoon on the ol acoustical. Great song one of my top five beatles tracks. Now I can play 3 count em, 3, songs. Any suggestions what I should learn next? I been playing for a few months.
Lillium from elfen lied is a pretty good thing for training(especially if you are not into playing chords). It would be also wise to learn scales. I still have tab for it somewhere on the disk, and if i don't i could tab it out for you :P
