Very few people are going to be entering and exiting the market with their entire investment at the same time. Which you agree with later in your post anyway, but I felt it worth pointing out.

Look in to the shipping and get back to me. Free to good home if they will see use. They'd be shipping from Edmonton, Alberta.

Anyone have any interest in a couple 460 1gb (not matching, one EVGA and one Gigabyte) or a 4870x2? Any suggestions on what to do with them? Not really worth anything, anymore.

Yeah, even on 10 year periods it's only been negative four times. 1938, 1939, 2008 and 2009. Go figure.

I've only driven a single BMW off warranty for about 4 years, a 2001 330xi, and the only work required on it other than maintenance was a failed water pump. Around $600 installed at an independent shop, if I recall right, as I have no interest in wrenching on my own vehicles. That said, I don't...

Shitty. Just goes to show you that the rest of the world is catching up to us big time in developing hockey players. In years past we could use the excuse that our best 19 year olds were in the NHL, but that's obviously not the case this year. I didn't watch the game so I can't really comment on...

Still do at my office. We have no need of anything newer, really. Only reason I'm going to upgrade all the workstations in the next month or two is simply because half of them run like shit now and I may as well upgrade as opposed to doing a fresh install of XP, and computers are cheap anyways...

One van is a 2001, the other is a 2006. They've both got about 220,000 km on them. Initially the 2001 was far more reliable, up until the last year or two. The 2006 had a shit ton of problems even while under warranty, and the Ford dealer was a pain in the ass, refusing to acknowledge a massive...

Anyone got strong opinions on what manufacturer I should be looking at for a new cube van? We've got a couple F-350 diesels that have been absolute fucking pigs maintenance wise. So I'm not sure if I want to go diesel or not for the new one. Generally the materials they're hauling are more...

lol, I figured. Only person I know that drinks it is a Newfie, and he bathes in that shit. Fireball has been around at least 10+ years. I'm not a fan of it at all when it's a full shot served room temperature. But sipped from a cold flask on a chairlift at a ski hill, it's not half bad.

lol, there's a lot of road left to travel, glad my bros are rooting for me.

The problem is, 95% of people can't do what you say they should do. It's been shown again and again that the more involved someone is with their investments on a daily basis, the worse their returns. Do I check my investments on a daily basis? Yes, absolutely. But thankfully I'm able to resist...

Norse French.

My bro had a black 999, and still has a red 998 (that he's driven about twice since he dropped it and put his right foot on sideways). But otherwise yeah, I've got a 2005 R6 and a 2011 Multistrada. 2-3 friends all want to buy my R6, which I don't particularly want to sell because it's not worth...

I used Acronis when I migrated my various computers over to SSD's a couple years ago. Not free, but it worked flawlessly. Just bought a new SSD for my laptop, which still had a mechanical drive, and all I had to do was dig up my old emails with the serial numbers and it once again worked great...

heh, sorry I'm not bringing the drama. Such a shame too. Met up with a busload of friends in the mountains over New Year's, and it was chock full of single hotness. Including a stripper from Montreal who loved to say my name, as it's also French. It's funny how the whole indifference thing...

Temperature doesn't really factor for me, personally. My car's generally parked inside 90% of the time, for one. For another, I have heated seats so cold isn't really an issue. Warm-wise, while it would be nice to have AC seats like some vehicles do (hell, my dad's Toyota Tundra did, which was...

Coldest early part of the winter with the most snow that I can recall in Edmonton. That said, human memory is a tricky thing, so it's probably nothing record setting. But it's certainly worse than the norm for the past 5-10 years.

-Lose 10-20lbs -Learn to cook better -Start the process of getting the hell out of my business, even if that's 10 years away

Only reason I ask is that most deer are only a couple hundred pounds, and it would take a pretty big animal to do the damage you describe merely from it's own speed perpendicular to your car's movement, not to mention prancing away immediately after.

How fucking big was the deer? Sure it wasn't a moose or elk or something?

Market timing is bad investing strategy.

Ambient temperature could have changed enough to affect stability, or fan performance changed or something. Or if you're really pushing voltage and temps, you could literally be wearing out your components.

Pretty sure somebody back on FOH posted once that they'd played a couple different MMOs with Lumie, and that in-game he was a decent enough guy, but that overall it wasn't an act. Dude was genuinely bizarre IRL, and had been getting worse over a period of years.

Growing old sucks bro. My family hasn't done presents since I was 16 or so, but my mom would always at least put together some stockings for the kids with some chocolates, maybe a magazine or two, socks etc. I didn't even get that this year! Is it cause I'm 31 mom?

Yeah, but the game is always out (early September) before the season starts (early October). Believe it or not, some newspapers here are running computer generated seasons and publishing stories once a week on it. http://blogs.edmontonjournal.com/201...losing-streak/ I guess it's a blog...

Heh, it's frequently amazing how entitled some people are. My PM fired a guy the other day because in the first 4-5 weeks of employment, he'd already missed half a dozen days. Not only that, but he was told repeatedly that he was to call the office to let either the receptionist or the PM for...

Never heard that. You can buy Cubans in Canada, if you're close to the border. And/or fly to Cuba.

Girlfriend gave me an okay looking sweater that itches like fuck. I loved it!

Well, if the power blinked off while one computer was gaming and the other was idle but the monitor was on, you'd probably be at or past the maximum power draw it can handle. If both were idle with monitors off you'd be around half of it's rating. For a single computer it would likely be fine...

*yawn*

Yeah, it would be conference only and pretty much a game every second night. It would be a sprint instead of a marathon. Might make for pretty good regular season hockey for once, because every game matters. Like I said, I don't think they're stupid enough to piss away the season. But half of...

Need to know what the two computers have under the hood. Most computers are only going to consume about 100 watts or even less at idle, not counting monitors. At load in a game if you have a reasonably beefy GPU you might get up to 300-450W each, depending on what exactly you're running and if...

Canada is not a culturally or racially homogenous country. In fact, Canada has twice the number of foreign born citizens as the US does, on a per capita basis (about 20% vs 10%, give or take). No, we don't have the large black or hispanic populations the US does, things are certainly more mixed...

Pretty late hit. Clean, but extremely late.

I've been optimistic since the start, or in other words wrong. I still have a hard time fathoming both sides being idiotic enough to piss away the entire season. But I guess we'll see.

If they have a deal by early to mid January, a 48 game season is still possible. January 15 is the drop dead date.

Since I had my eyes laserbeamed I've definitely become more sensitive to bright sunlight. I'm up around 50 degrees latitude, so it's not like we have super bright sun here, but we do get a massive amount of clear, sunny weather in the summer here.

Jesus christ, he was kidding about the seatbelts thing. If you want to see Araysar's true colors, that's the topic you do it with.

Friend just ruptured his achilles tendon at crossfit. Ugh.
