But what should I do then? Everyone I know is busy learning for exams. I don't wanna go out alone

_{once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.}

When did you order yours? I ordered mine about 10 minutes before I made the OP.

I used to actively cool my HDDs but I dropped it in favor of a well designed airflow solution.

I made a hole in the side of my case side and used four exhaust fans and an old-style lying-down (not air tunnel) cooler. Barely had to run the fans on it.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

What the hell is this fucking idiot of a driver DOING?

My package is coming from Lawnside New Jersey to Landover Maryland, lookie here what mapquest says:

http://www.mapquest.com/maps?1c=Lawnsid … &2s=MD

Total Estimated Time: 2 hours 31 minutes

Look what Newegg's tracking says:

12/31/2008 02:30:00 IN TRANSIT TO[i] LANDOVER, MD, US

Since 2 in the morning two days ago, the package has not made the 2.5 hour drive to Landover. WTF

I just got it, the thing is LITERALLY as cold as an ice cube. How does that happen I wonder.

Took me literally 4 hours to install XP, 2 of which were formatting alone. The XP CD had some things corrupted/missing too so I'm not yet sure if it's gonna be completely stable.

I've installed the drivers already, as well as SP3, and I'm applying the remaining updates now. Then I'll see if anything installs/loads faster.
