You mean "can it happen"? Sure. Was it raining during their delivery? Does your mailman do your route on foot? Are you near the end of a leg? Did his bag fall in a puddle while he was running from a dog?

You need something on screen from the beginning, just so people don't think it's broken. Also, some of your slow fades seem to be a little jittery...perhaps you are using too much compression?
They weren't jittery at all on my own machine, that's weird. I'll look up the compression when I get home, I don't know what the default was. It was created as a 24 fps 1080P video with the h.264 codec.

It wasn't jittery when I played it either.
I was a thousand away.

Apparently Dell BTX-based systems have an expiration date, and that date is December 1st, 2009. I have five of them that people have brought me in the last week. I don't think I had been inside five BTX systems in my life before this week.
Also, it should be illegal to sell computers that don't have a PS/2 keyboard port.
That is all.

Were they Dells with BTX power supplies?

Storage? I am Storage!
What was wrong with them? Were you able to fix them? If so, how?
This is so apropos. :rofl: :santa:

At the moment, I'm going with "These are out of warranty and not worth fixing 'cause they use retarded/obscure parts that I'm not willing to track down."
Anyway, I've been trying to get a couple Radeon 5850s for a couple months now. They sell out instantly at Newegg every time they're in stock, and at this point every online retailer except Amazon is offering them at minimally $100 over MSRP. Amazon has them available at the $260 they're supposed to cost, but they're not going to have any in stock until after the holidays.
So I have a perfectly nice i7 rig sitting here that I don't want to use until I can get the hardware in it that I was actually planning to use; if I'm going to install a copy of Windows that requires product activation I really want to make sure I have the right hardware in it.
I'm starting to become rather cross.

I can say nice things about my Sapphire 5870, except that it isn't as nice as my 295GTX.

Usually Sapphire or Powercolor. I really don't think it matters.
In what way could a 5870 possibly be inferior to a 296GTX?

1. Performance in certain games. NFS:Shift at the moment.
2. Lack of higher AA/AF settings in some games. CitiesXL at the moment.

If you're gaming at 1920x1080, how much AA do you actually need?

It's a 42" screen. The difference is pretty apparent.

Well, I've put in offers on two houses and not been selected yet. The first guy said he'd rather give it to the bank than accept my offer, the other was a short sale, and the bank turned it down, even though it was the highest. All the other houses in the area are bank-owned or complex short-sales. This may take a while.

Just be patient. They're only going to get cheaper.

I suspect you are right, which is why our offers have been low so far. Rumor has it that more houses will be released onto the market by major banks Jan 1.

Stuck here with no vehicle and not much food.4 of lentil beans and 1 of pickles. Everything else looks expired.
Pretty much anything is safe if you microwave it long enough
Yes it is. :zzz:
It's cold in this territory. :reindeer: I can't feel the testicles. I want to go home.
