I've never had a basement, either. So the massive number of 10' 2x4s will be the studs? You have 10' of height in the basement?

I have 8' 11.5" from the concrete floor to the bottom of the floor joists overhead (I paid handsomely to get that extra 16" of depth in the basement). There's no way to make 8' long studs work and there's no 2x4's available that are between 8' and 10' so I'm going to get to cut off ~18" from every 10' stud.

This has to be some sort of record for the most personal information ever from you in a single post. You've narrowed yourself down to a geographic region.
I sure do have some good plans. :sunny: My Dad has a large pile of 2x4's in his basement for a darkroom he was going to build but never did. They've been there for a lot more than 10 years. Unfortunately they're too short to be of any use to me on this project.I assume you have good plans for the lumber. We once had a bunch of wood delivered in 1986 and then plans changed. The wood was piled up for over ten years and never used.
:rotfl: That sounds so familiar. Glad to know I'm not the only one.
This is interesting. I just had an indecent with my raptor 300 where it wouldn't detect at startup, but is now working fine again outside the case so I think I will give it a new cable. Anyway out of interest I checked out the warranty on WD's site and found a most interesting thing. It appears that if you trade the remainder of your drives warranty plus some cash you can upgrade to a different drive. No need to turn in the current drive, you just no longer have a warranty on it.
Oh my god WD, facepalm.
I checked the serial of a eight or so year old out of warranty drive, a upgrade to a WD6000HLHX costs $280.00. So then I check my raptor 300 to trade in to the same WD6000HLHX and drum roll please, yes, $280.00. Trading in my warranty does nothing at all but lose my warranty.
Edit the raptor expires in 2014, plenty of time to "sell" back to WD.
Edit2 I guess the real fail is that is the same price retailers are selling the drive for.

Grrr, the samsung F3 from newegg is DOA. One single drive wrapped in bubble wrap in a small box placed on the bottom of a bigger box with paper pack on top of it. Newegg is trying but they aren't quite there yet. So now I go to bestbuy to get a seagate that is sold there for $10 less than it is sold on newegg. If bestbuy sold samsung I wouldn't have even considered newegg in the first place, oh well.

It was everything I expected it to be. Rammstein is great on stage and the crowd was quite agitated. I went there with my younger brother and we teamed up with another big guy to protect his little sister. We were near the stage and that was no place for a 5 feet/100 pounds woman...without a wall of tall guys surrounding her. I missed the last part of Feuer Frei stopping a group of 15-20 freaks from trampling us. It was quite a training. My brother had his shirt ruined with the blood of a guy with a broken nose.
It was awesome!

Far from it. People were pushing, but I haven't been punched (no one there THAT insane) and I didn't have to punch back. The guy with the broken nose had been hit by an elbow. The farthest I've been was to almost rip off someone's arm, before realizing the arm wasn't to the one who pissed me off.What is it like, Altamont?

Someone just sent me a technical drawing. It was a 100MB+ BMP file in a 3MB 7zip archive. Incredible.

I bet I can beat that easily. I turned a 102MB BMP into a 102KB zip file. As a RAR it was 7.27KB. The PNG was 119KB. :bomb:

Silly, isn't it? I also notice that a lot of people save and embed vector graphics and text in blotchy and bloated JPEG files instead of a simple GIF or PNG. You see that all the time on website nav buttons and banners. Don't webmasters have basic training on this stuff?

In the two hours it took me to drive from Monterey to SFO, the flight from Heathrow fell behind by two hours.
Good sightings, though. A McLaren F1 near Gilroy and three Teslas on special platforms being loaded into a BA 747.

Nope. My parents just spent the last few weeks in the south of France. It wasn't until after I moved out that they started going to cool places
