Just to add to my last post I found some pictures so you can see what the housing market is like here. Cheap as chips compared to other countries. I just blacked out the property numbers and addresses because it is local.
I just bought my first house two months ago for $80,000. It was built in 1927 so you have to take that into account I guess...
I just don't understand how people could afford a $354,900 house, my payments are big enough already. I couldn't stand that amount of debt hanging over my head.

I love, love The Fifth Element.
I watched Super, and Super 8 recently. They were both great, in their respective ways.

SSDs were a great idea a month ago before Thailand flooded and HDD prices doubled. Now that that happened, they are an awesome idea.

I'm just hoping Amazon's release day shipping works as advertised...
-
I love Sunshine. The sound track is amazing.

Why are you worrying about any of that when neither the animated or real movie are actually based off of the original source material (comics) exactly?

Holy...
I like it, and that is one of the few in the thread I haven't seen before and know nothing about. Who is it?

I love Baraka. It is the reference I use when showing people how much difference there is between blu-ray and dvd.

I eat spaghetti and two pieces of garlic bread for supper, every day. Partly because of money and partly because I don't know how to make anything else :). I think I priced it out at being less than a 1 USD a meal though so I am happy.
EDIT: Pic because I happened to be making it when this topic came up, and I just finished.

I took off work the 14th and 15th (Monday and Tuesday) after it comes out, with release date shipping from amazon. Just ordered my video card two days ago, that should be in soon. Just ordered a new mechanical keyboard yesterday, that should also be in soon.
Yeah, I am ready for it :).

Haven't heard of that problem before :)
Mine is apparently the YLOD problem even though the yellow light is only on for a split second. I am going to attempt to repair it myself, just to get my game saves off of it. Then if I get it working I am going to sell it back to amazon and get money for a new one.
EDIT: repair failed, now trying to decide if I want to take it to a repair shop to get it fixed just to get my saves off or not. With how little gaming I did on it I am thinking about just saying screw it.

Turned on PS3 yesterday, 1 second later it shuts off and the red light just blinks. It's only 2 and a half years old, kind of makes me angry...

Elder Scrolls: Arena the game (had the entirety of Tamriel mapped out already) came out before A Game of Thrones the book, though it is possible Martin had the map of Westeros drawn before Arena. Probably not all the lands in the east yet though.

Sun dresses are quite possibly one of the best things ever.

Just some advice: If this is your first build take your time with it. You may get a part that is DOA, but many of the times you just plugged in something wrong. I've worked on computers forever and every build I have done has had one random problem or another. They are all fixable, and you can ask for help. If you want to game you are definitely going to want to build one, unless you like throwing money away.

The only reason to spend more than a few dollars on an HDMI cable is if it is capable of being bent near the connector, which is not good anyways, but some of the better cables will hold together better at the ends.
1.4 vs 1.3 is not that big of a difference, get the 1.4 if it is the same price. You can pass ethernet over 1.4 as well as higher resolution. Most likely your devices don't support either of those anyways, so it doesn't really matter.
In other words, don't worry, get the cheapest possible one you can (that is at least 1.3, you probably can't find the older ones anyways though). I actually am in that first situation where the HDMI gets moved, and kind of bent, and taken in and out a lot. I just had my first cable break the other day, after a few years of that.

Awesome. I say it quite a lot, it's an awesome adjective.

Audiobooks might be better for you.

Hey Rae!

She looks like Kaya Scodelario but I am not 100%.

Lucy Hale. I think she's gorgeous.
I haven't seen her in anything else since Bionic Woman, is she still acting?

I did Einstein@Home, which is a similar distributed computing project. It is one of the BOINC distributed computing projects. Folding@Home is probably the most popular one, also you do it by default with the PS3 screensaver.

I own a nook, and it's the best thing since paperback bread. I wouldn't buy it unless you're extremely addicted to books though. I just happen to own one because it was a gift. It has a lot of really convenient features though. My personal favorite is being able to hold your finger over a specific word and automatically looking it up on the dictionary. And bookmarks. Bookmarks are way more convenient on ebooks than they are on real books. Plus a few cost under $100 now.
As for laptops vs. tablets, I'd personally go with a laptop + a cheap ebook reader over an ipad2.
Yep, reading on a Kindle is completely different than reading on an iPad, laptop or computer screen. Much, much easier on the eyes, sometimes even better than paperback books (the really white pages in sunlight)
Hot celebrities/models!! :) Post them here!!

Google thinks it is Ginta Lapina though I've never heard of her.
