  1. Not all. Most will let you disable the intergrated and add in a card. Even then, I doubt she'll ever decide to upgrade her video card - for what she'll be doing, she can use this for 7 or 8 years, then just buy a whole new system. I'd stay away from the eMachines - I've heard nothing buy horror stories about them (have a friend that worked at Circuit City for a long time) I don't really build them anymore except if it's for a reason (built a dual processor one just to play with, overclock, etc) Actually, the one sitting on my desk that normally use is a Dell. Don - I have 2 P-III something-or-others sitting in my living room collecting dust. I'd give you one just out of pity. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality
  2. Gateway has changed a lot in the last 6 years.... I'd stick with Dell - you can get a really decent system for like $500 (including monitor) You can't build 'em that cheap anymore. And with Dell, you get a warranty. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality
  3. No, and quite frankly I'm pissed. Those sheep-fuckers in Nebraska can get it, and I can't. (no offense to anyone in Nebraska) http://www.shiner.com/distr.html it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality
  4. Don't worry, in two weeks it'll be at least 3 losses. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

    Who pays

    They should pay, the should rush the fix, rush the shipment back, apologize profusely, and they should do something else to make it up to you (even some sort of freebie that costs them next to nothing could probably make you happy) - otherwise, they can probably plan on you not ordering from them again. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality
  6. uh-oh..... you guys didn't stop at Wendy's, did you? it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality
  7. She'd be the "John 3:16" guy of reality shows? That's kinda creepy.... it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality
  8. Can you get to it in safe mode? Try copying that file right off the cd, or copy the whole cd to your hard drive and install from there. Does it always error at that file? it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality
  9. Good call! Go for the 1200 though...
  10. So does that mean HH has an Onkyo or Harman Kardon ? it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality
  11. It's even older than the "Mac vs. PC" argument Any of style of bike is cool with me. They all have their purpose and stereotypes to go with it. Edit: Might as well throw mine in here..... it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality
  12. ... which is backwards. Those adapters don't work like that. The USB end of the cable is designed to plug into the USB host (your PC) not the device. The serial end of the cable is usually a male DB9 - that won't plug into your PC. Those adapters are designed to plug a serial device into a USB host (I have one on my protrack cradle for example) not the other way around. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality
  13. Isnt there a good chance that this would be USB too? PCI ones exist. Not cheap... but they exist. http://www.quatech.com/catalog/drives_pcmcia.php it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality
  14. I think you're thinking about it wrong - that adapter you put the link to is for a serial device to plug into a USB host, not the other way around. You could always get a pcmcia card reader, and then the adapter to put it in a desktop... but by that point, you've spent $100 probably. Don - this is God's way of punishing you for being a Michigan fan. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality
  15. NT doesn't support USB. Some usb devices actually have the drivers need to work on NT, but chances are that yours doesn't. Finding a cheap, xD card reader, serial, is going to be tough too. You're probably out of luck - upgrade to 2000 if you can, or borrow someone's computer. CrazyIvan - yeah, that's backwards. I don't think a converter for USB device to serial even exists. If it did, it wouldn't be very cheap. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

    Average Joe

    I agree - that was a riot. Was a decent show, and made fun of reality shows at the same time! Some of the stuff that happened was so over the top though, I'm surprised he didn't at least start to think it was fake! THe gay guy "jumping" into the pool, putting dog shit in front of him to eat, the quack sleeping with the asshole, the virgin having a thing for the smarmy host... good stuff. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality
  17. Actually, I did! I also know Oxford has about a billion bars Not bad for that small of a town! it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality
  18. You guys would like this town.... couple of guys owned a bike shop here, later became famous for something else. Also, first free-fall jump using a manually operated parachute from an airplane happened here. Now "McCook's" isn't an air field to people here, it's an adult store it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality
  19. Jabba the Hutt and Julie Roberts had a kid?? it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality
  20. another good time waster it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality
  21. Haha! You just got called retarded by a Canadian! it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality
  22. Here's my rendition of Don in drag Also bears a striking resemblance to Jessica.... coincidence? I think not. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality
  23. Good waste of time Create yourself (or someone else) I was going to create HH's, but I couldn't really find the bright yellow skin and the really round face. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality
  24. Only this thread? You can usually tell how long someone's been in the sport by their responses to threads like these. Phree put it pretty well... Not only do most people take breaks, but a lot of people quit altogether! Right about that 3 year mark, a lot of people get bored, burnt out, broke, whatever and quit jumping. Now your perfect jumper/jumper relationship has turned into a wuffo/jumper relationship! it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality
  25. Ever heard of the pet rock? I have an even better idea... although I can't disclose it just yet.... it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality
