  1. congradulations buddy, GOOD JOB!!!
  2. I wasn't paying TOO much attention to the report, just another "your local government is screwing you" story, but I thought they said Illinois was either one of few or the only state that allows local (that would be county or municipal) gasoline taxes. Those high gasoline taxes, combined with the tripling of the cost of automobile registrations not so long ago, should result in the best roads in the nation, but somewhere the money just seems to disappear. I hear the cost of a barrel of oil is dropping again ... Let's hope it trickles down to the local gas stations. you hit the nail
  3. another thign that been soaking up my time is WOW. it is soooooo addicting. my girlfriend talked me into trying it and now i'm hooked. we have this running gag about a guy on WOW and his wife is trying to talk him into haveing sex but he's like. "not now honney, we just started a raid on the Molten Core, maybe later" yeah it can get that addicting for certian types of gamers. anyways i just started my first character a week or so ago and his name is Kalesh if you want to add me to your friends list. i leave general chat turned off to cut down on lagging so you'll have to whisper chat me

  6. i would also recomend Open Office. it has come a long way from the little alternitive to MS Office. i have used both on my Macs & PCs and i belive that Open Office is close to catching up to being just as good and of course the price is had to negociate to lower. but in the end i also agree that for most users go with what your mostly comfortabile with if your worried about learning a new program.

  12. as a nerd, geek, gamer, ect. ect. ect. what are the things that you are too afraid to do? seriously! especially if it's something that you've kinda wanted to do just to be a little more normal rather than a nerd or what ever. for example as a nerd i'm very antisocial so i don't usually talk to people much, even joke around, although i can fearlessly joke online i have trouble doing it in person with people i don't know well. and as another example something i've seen people dance in empty streets out in public view and i've wanted to have the enough self confidence to do that. i know it doesn'

  17. well i search the net and kept finding multiple specs for this thing so i broke down and called HP and they confirmed the specs on their site. everyone online like crucial just doesn't have any pc2100 cause nobody uses them and since the ram would just down it's self in speed they just post and selld the pc2700. also earlier tonight i took the card to 2 different friends houses and tried it in their computers first looking up the specs on their motherboards to make sure that the card should work on theirs. and gusse what, the card is no good. so all of this doesn't matter anyways. i was just t
