    I tripped over some money!

    Sounds like a plan. I was thinking about splitting my bonus down the middle with my wife but she just found out she's getting one of twelve bitchin' bonus gifts from her work so I may have all the cash to myself and step up to a higher density or maybe a higher performing drive. I was...

    My thoughts exactly, Rob. I'm sure she'll be a real catch when she gets older and starts busting out the sailor talk.

    I tripped over some money!

    Well, I didn't really trip over it so much as I was given a bonus at work in the form of a card that I can redeem for a gift card from different stores. Immediately my head goes straight to something for my rig. What to do? I could go with a new processor but anything worth while above my...

    I remember a conversation with my wife when we found out she was pregnant about what if we have an ugly child and then everybody will sugar coat the answer if asked, "Aren't they cute?" Then it spiraled into what if he is a serial killer when he grows up? At least we have our answer for one of...

    Not Enough of a Geek? Listen to the Linux Kernel!

    Don't feel bad. I can't watch any of the Saturday Night Live material because it's blocked in Canada so it looks like "copyright laws" are cocking up the works for everybody.

    Jeopardy! to Feature IBM Supercomputer as Contestant

    Umm...I see a problem with this and you already mentioned it. Artificial intelligence is more about what to do in a certain situation based on what is currently happening, not grabbing pre-programmed answers from a database. Why not just download Wikipedia into the thing? Sure, some may be...

    I see what Rob meant...

    I just fired up the game and was able to run it fully pimped in DX11 at 1680x1050 with no slow down although I don't know the exact frame rate. I need to get FRAPS up and running again. It's a far cry from the resolution you tested it at but at least it can be run well. That benchmark looks a...

    AMD Launches Radeon HD 6900 Series GPUs

    If that's the case apparently Nvidia didn't get the memo about AMD changing the number scheme. :D So now we are left with what is AMD going to do for their ultra high end encore? If the 5700's are now the 6800's and the 6800's are now the 6900's are we going to see a 7000 or a 6900+ to...

    Glad I could brighten the day. That has me thinking about what I would be with Black Ops. I'm a true neutral in game but in my head and as soon as I pull up Steam chat I'm a total chaotic good.

    AMD Launches Radeon HD 6900 Series GPUs

    Maybe it should be Nvidia - the way it's meant to be paid. $500 for ~8%? No spanks. That's a lot of dollars per 3DMark points.

    I thought we could all use a laugh at something that is totally true, whether we want to admit it or not. :D

    The case of the disappearing RAM

    Funky. I have either had bad slots, bad memory or bad installation, not a hiccup like this. Is your main rig your test rig too, Rob? If so it could be they popped -just- out of position with the case being moved around while components are being installed or removed.

    In flight wifi FTW

    Without thinking I decided to go with my typical no-real-input-on-the-conversation posting style so I did a quick Google search to find the biggest bag of nuts that I could thinking that maybe $25 would be justified if that is what was handed out.
