    I don't recall there ever existing a 1 GHz Pentium M. Generally a Pentium M will be equivalent to a Pentium 4 that's about double the clock speed. The 1.73 GHz Pentium M can match pretty much any Pentium 4 on the market.

    What does the word ROFLCOPTER mean? And today I learned that if you make loud noises with a plastic bag, your younger brothers gunei pig will run blindly around its cage hitting itself countless times adn won't stop until I put the bag down.

    Today I learned that

    If you ask someone to REP you because they like what you have posted then it falls under the category of "soliciting rep."

    http://forums.gotwoot.net/showthread...=11243&page=24


    Some guidelines:
    Try to give out more positive reputation hits than negative ones.
    No soliciting rep hits.
    Don't take it too seriously.
    Leave comments with your rep hits.
    How about you follow your own guidelines and Dont take it too seriously.

    see, the thing is, if we let you spam up the forums with constant rep-begging, it'll go the exact opposite direction from where we want it to go.

    The point of the system is to encourage and reward good posting. Inherently, asking for rep is bad. It degrades the content of your post ... it's like slapping a big flash-animation banner ad in the middle of what could otherwise be good material.

    If you're asking for rep, you're taking it too seriously!

    Someone just jumped the gun. I would never go as low as to ask/beg someone to rep me.
    I was just pointing him in the right direction. This system is fairly new.

    I never asked previously when we were on Fuse talk for someome to do my user rating and that was b/w 7-8 with more than 30 votes.

    People would rep me if they like what I post not because I ask them.

    Anyway. blah blah blah I will follow the rules. OK UNDERSTOOD.

    Well, anywayz, Today I learnt that my younger brothers rabbit doesn't like bright flashlights shined in its eyes and will continously run around its cage while hitting itself countless times until the light dissappears.

    That's the idea, see? Now you're getting it! You have learned something from all of this .

    Oh yeah, and to get back on topic, I've learned that ... umm ... there's a job posting for a fulltime sysadmin that almost exactly matches my qualifications and is like 2 miles away, but since I don't have a car, that 2 miles is a bit too far.

    I never really expected to feel trapped by my lack of transportation... but here I am, and that's what I've got.

    Hmm.....I wonder if Gunei pigs and Rabbits work like that.....Lets try it out. =)

    Oh, and Today I learned that if I put alot of dust together in a pile and put it in front of my younger brothers computer while hes sleeping that teh dust gets caught in all his fans and makes his graphics card overheat to 91 degrees and made green spots in Battlefield 2 appear on his monitor. =D

    You should at least have a bicycle. Nothing wrong with biking to work.

    ^ That is, unless you live someplace where there is a lot of snow in winter. Because as fun as it may seem, riding your bike on a sheet of ice with cars around you is really not.

    yeah, that's the problem.

    The place with the job posting is only 2 miles away, but it's 2 miles of bike-unfriendly highway... and beyond that, it's north central Indiana (an hour north of Indy)... snow is definitely hit-or-miss in winter. Winters are typically very cold, and in the 6 of them I've spent here I've seen 3 have more than 2 feet of snow/ice on the ground for a substantial part of the winter. Summers are typically hot and humid, and I'd be hesitant to say that riding a bike a couple miles on the highway when it's 95 with a heat index of 110 is a "good idea"...

    But yeah, I don't have a bike anyway. I've been wanting one for a while, but I'm huge, and it's hard to find a bike that claims to be heavy-duty enough to support the sort of giant beast that I am .

    But even if I weren't, I'm also 6'8 and pretty heavily muscled. If I lost every ounce of fat on my body, I'd still weigh around 275.

    Actually, I'm a fair bit below my peak weight these days, and I would probably not horribly crush a mountain bike, as long as I didn't try to do anything too stupid (like ... jumping, or hitting curbs hard). But those things are kinda expensive, and campus is more pedestrian-friendly than bike-friendly. I'd probably end up leaving the bike home more often than not anyway...

    Dont take that from him. Just crush his skull into dust with one swipe.

    I'd rather be huge then small. Go train and join UFC or King of the Cage.
