Hrm how did u manage that? Sounds nasty I took today off cause of a cold - after enduring 6 weeks of a lingering cough after having a brutal flu... getting the fluvax in the middle of it all probably wasn't the smartest thing to do but there ya have it. Prednisone ftw -D

Hook Turn = Very Very slow scandinavian flick You turn left and then right ;D or Right and then Left Simple! -D

Cmon man It'll never work People in this city are so stupid they cant negotiate a simple 2 lane roundabout (TTP/Britannia)... What makes u think theyre gonna be capable of the concept of a hook turn? lols -D

Chicks Dig Vomit -D

Agreed. Apart from people inside the government, most people think the tram elongation was a waste of time. Back in the old days, the tram used to run down o'connell st, then they got rid of it. Would've made more sense to extend the tram to North Adelaide IMHO -D

not into golf but i have to say the tap inn is a really nice venue, and the food there is very impressive - sussex has been a bit hit and miss on occasions tho they do make an excellent steak -D

Retro CD night. like going thru my old albums and having a listen once in a while SP - Siamese Dream. Kick arse. -D

You'll find that most cpu's these days have the 64 bit command set and most people are chomping at the bit to use more than 3.5 gigs of ram (old XP limitation). Windows 7 will primarily be 64 bit I'm guessing since a) most cpus for the last 4 years can do 64 bit and b) people really really want to use loads of RAM, esp with the new i7 platform having 3 way memory (3x2 is what Im getting, will have the option to get another 3x2 for the other 3 slots - 12gigs entry level is phenomenal... The only driver issues I can imagine are older hardware and certain USB devices. Logitech has been notoriously shithouse for 64 drivers before but I'm interested to see how they treat their customers once W7 is out (I have logitech mice, kb, speakers, joystick, webcam etc - excellent hardware but the driver support (used to) leave a lot to be desired..) Im really looking forward to this new system. has been 5 years since I upgraded - I'm rather proud of that, and my AMD3200/1gb/36gb raptor will make a sweeet linux box oh and ive managed to scrounge a dds drive out of spare bits so I has me a tape backup unit too Going for a cheap vidcard atm since all I play is world of warcraft and that should do it easily... will get a dual SLI beast later on when the next hardcore 3d shooter gets released no doubt hehe -D

hahah craigs daily lols -D

Theyd better be.... theyre the only ones I can afford atm ! The mobo I'm getting is good for a few more generations of the i7 range as well as up to 24 gigs of ram and 3 way SLI, so plenty of room to upgrade later when the prices go down -D

Eventually. I'll use the one SAS drive to start with and then get the second a few weeks later (theyre a bit pricey) New pc will be running Raid 0 74 GB Seagate 15k rpm's and a single 500 WD Green for non-backed up filestorage New server will run off a SATA WD Raptor 36gb and then I'll raid 1 the terabyte drives and chuck em in a nice hot swap enclosure (both cases are rack mounted) RHEL6 hasnt been released yet but I have it on pretty good authority that its only a couple months away. Can use 5.3 till then -D

Several cheap things can be done, like hanging blankets from the ceiling. i once knew an engineer tho who had his entertainment room coated in the sound insulating paint that feels like sandpaper (you could throw a beanie on the ceiling and it'd stick)... and if you could get massive sheets of dynamat to stick to the wall, I'm sure that'd help a fair bit too... double concrete walls are probably one of the best things to have to begin with ($$) -D

ETA is end of year but RC1 comes out in a week or so and has a 12 month lifespan PC is gonna happen in 4-6 weeks, hoping the prices come down a tad... -D

Haven't looked at the hardware scene for a while and I'm gonna upgrade. For those who are interested in commenting on the components, please do. The list is as follows. New PC: Running Windows 7 Intel i7 920 CPU $415 LEADER SAS 74gb Seagate HDD 15k RPM $318 LEADER ASUS P6T Deluxe Motherboard $459 MSY OCZ DDR3 PC3-10666 i7 Edition 6GB $169 PC Case Gear HIS Hightech Radeon HD4830 512MB $156 PC Case Gear New Server (from current hardware) WD Caviar 1TB Black AV x2 $334 MSY 3xSATA Hotswap Bay (2x 5.25" bay) $150 LEADER Gonna chuck RHEL 6 on the server and run raid1 TB as a filestore and use my current 36gb raptor as the OS drive Anyone know any places I can get better prices ? -D

Can do something for u if u want. I'll be getting a new i7 based system with 6 gigs of low latency ram, 15k rpm SAS drive, nice motherboard, entry level vidcard, 2 terrabyte server drives... etc around $1.5k worth for something like that. depends what u want the system for and how much u wanna spend. its easy stuff tho -D

Yay the good old fashioned train spike -D

hampstead hotel has gone way way downhill since coles took it over better food in that area is at the OG... -D

yeah port were doing quite well last nite, shit happens re fev, thats what happens when you stick ur wanger in lara bingle, you get a ball bungle heh -D

Adelaide up 2 goals vs Ports 1 point however Port showing a lot of talent, good ballwork. one of those ugly ass cornes boys just marked with one hand while he was being tackled - pure skill. And it looks like theyve just scored their first one 7-12 Its gonna be a good game I reckon -D Edit +1 goal for port. Looks like they turned up this week lol

Bahaha No crime for 2 hours Then a crime spree Least the cops have 2 hours to get themselves in position haha -D
