Neither really, they're both going to be way out of date before you know it.

Where was that LAN party held that one time that was figgering on setting up a cybercafe? Did they ever set one up?

My TDZK alliance has Dieppe and Normandy landings pending Tuesday and Wednesday that I wanna show up for, but have to secure a few hours worth of IRC/IE access which the library and community public access can't provide.

Take one of your billion dollar paycheques and build yourself a rig, Moik.

Andrew you didn't answer my question. Remember when I said two-hundred bucks for a video card was obscene? I'm even hesitant to buy a 79 dollar card just so you know.

My Geforce2 works fine for what I do, but it runs too hot, so I need something newer, and if possible a little better, for less than a hundred bucks. I don't play games on my pc (like just about everyone I know) so why spend more?

All you gotta do is find out from Dalton or Justin if they got anything.....maybe even equal to what you got now. They can even look out for one, but you got to tell them first.

This was posted in the Jokes section of LICD forums. I thought it was cool, and you guys might just like it, I only wish it was true:

As we all know, it takes 1 calorie to heat 1 gram of water to 1 degree centigrade. Translated into meaningful terms, this means that if you eat a very cold dessert (generally consisting of water in a large part), the natural processes which raise the consumed dessert to body temperature during the digestive cycle literally sucks the calories out of the only available source: your body fat.

For example, a dessert served and eaten at near 0 degrees C (32.2 deg. F) will in a short time be raised to the normal body temperature of37 degrees C (98.6 deg. F). For each gram of dessert eaten, that process takes approximately 37 calories as stated above. The average dessert portion is 6 oz, or 168 grams. Therefore, by operation of thermo dynamic law, 6,216 calories(1 cal/gm/deg. x 37 deg. x 168 gms) are extracted from body fat as the dessert's temperature is normalized.

Allowing for the 1,200 latent calories in the dessert, the net calorie loss is approximately 5,000 calories.

Obviously, the more cold dessert you eat, the better off you are and the faster you will lose weight, if that is your goal.

This process works equally well when drinking very cold beer in frosted glasses. Each ounce of beer contains 16 latent calories, but extracts 1,036 calories (6,216 cal. per 6 oz. portion) in the temperature normalizing process. Thus, the net calorie loss per ounce of beer is 1,020 calories.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to calculate that 12,240 calories (12 oz. x 1,020 cal./oz.) are extracted from the body in the process of drinking a can of beer.

Frozen desserts, e.g., ice cream, are even more beneficial, since it takes 83 cal./gm to melt them (i.e., raise them to 0 deg. C) and an additional 37 cal./gm to further raise them to body temperature. The results here are really remarkable, and it beats running hands down.

Unfortunately, for those who eat pizza as an excuse to drink beer, pizza (loaded with latent calories and served above body temperature) induces an opposite effect.

But, thankfully, as the astute reader should have already reasoned, the obvious solution is to drink a lot of beer with pizza and follow up immediately with large bowls of ice cream

Is Sony serious? (Check out the second vid, you'll all know what I'm talking about.)
