Yeah I'm not worried about the cost. Just wondering if windows or my program would effectively use it if I added more memory. Some of these drawing files are 4-5gb and loading and sorting thru all the layers and turning them off is really dragging the system down. As mentioned when I pull out...

What's the working limit on memory? Building a new machine for work related stuff. One customer keeps sending us multi gigabyte drawings with 100's of layers and I have to strip out what I need. It's incredibly slow and painful to mess with. I'm going to build a new computer since basically...

7" phones were announced at IFA. Why not stick a phone deal onto the tablet or laptop at that point.

What kind of real fan has their wedding during football season? Seriously. A friend of mine almost had to break it off beause a plantation they had wanted came open during football season....the day of Alabama/LSU. He had already gotten enough "no I'm not going to attend" that they finally...

LSU won't get played due to lightning. Still can't believe they have to stop the game for 30 minutes when lightning is within 6 miles of the stadium. As fast as it's moving that means as soon as it's gone and they run back on the field the next storm gets there.

I lost my key. I upgraded from 7 to 10. When I tried to roll back to 7 it ate my key and said mine was invalid. I called the activation number. At that time the wait was between 5 and 8 hours. I bought a new key off reddit for $25 I think it was. I used a company key on the other install.

Probably in that ball park of $4 to $6. Maybe one day a week I spend about $10 if I do something other than fast food. No meal on Friday and we have a meal together every two weeks so the company pays for that. I bring leftovers once every two weeks only because I like to get out of the office...

I bought a PCI card with a parallel port and 2 serial ports on it. Lots of CNC equipment still uses a parallel port. Grand total of $0.74 for the card and <$2.00 shipping from Amazon. I'm sure the box it came in with postage cost more than $2.00 why not just throw them away?

My girlfriend stole my syrup apparently. I made pancakes and didn't have syrup and I keep a pretty big jar of it handy that I get from my cousin who makes cane syrup. I didn't realise it till I already made the pancakes.

Apply for that, good resume builder. Get to see some incredible country if nothing else. Edit - I didn't see the native AK thing. One thing I noticed while up there the natives and the people who live in AK are really on two separate sides of issues a lot, especially concerning fishing...

I got my masters there. The "project" had been abondoned by 3 other students prior to it being handed to me. Most of the work was done already. Temple Inland funded it so what did I care? Funny how that works at the Arthur Temple College of Forestry at SFA. I really wouldn't call it a masters. I...

It's the only way (at least at the time) to get a wildlife degree at SFA double major in forest managment (habitat) and wildlife management with a minor in biology. 148 hours for a BS. The people I know that ended up in consulting sure don't suit and ties to work lol. Most of them work for...

I went to SFA when it was just coming into it's own for wildlife and not just forestry. Got a double major BS in Forest Management and Wildlife Management with a minor in biology. A&M isn't real happy that the wildlife division for their part of the state is now run by a SFA grad for the first...

Yup that would be a long volunteer. But people in school used to do summer deals up in that neck of the woods working for near minimum wage to have it on their resume. For National Park Service, US Forest Service, US Fish and Wildlife Service and such. But if you need them longer than a summer...

If you go back to TX let me know. I have some connections in TXPW, the new head of the wildlife arm was my college roomate and still current hunting partner. Another is one of the fisheries guys at A&M who is a Dr. and also works in one of the cooperative fisheries deals with TXPW. Sounds...

Finished it tonight. It was Ok. They did take some liberties as mentioned in the time line. The reason Barry Seal got involved with the DEA is they seized him and cocaine he was bringing and he was going to testify to make that go away etc...The DEA "liquidated" or sold his coke to fund more...

Is a fisheries degree like a wildlife degree in that you compete with people willing to do the job for free (IE volunteers) when you have a bachelors degree? A lot of field work in wildlife winds up being sucked up by part time volunteers because it's "cool" and supervised by someone with a...

The killer of Barry Seal, the ex CIA/smuggler etc...died in Angola prison last week. I still remember it even tho I was only 15. It was huge news in town. Gunned down at the Salvation army on the biggest road in town.

I'm out. I didn't realise I posted an opinion. Bedbug-Sniffing Dogs Might Not Accurately Detect Infestations Video - ABC News

Just looked into it a bit more. WTI which is what everyone here reports on considering it's almost West Texas only dropped 1% and changed today and Brent Crude dropped 8% and something.

They did an investigative report not too long ago on some TV show where they hired a bunch of bed bug sniffing dogs in a house with known bedbugs and another without and the results were about even. Half indicated bedbugs where there were none and half missed the ones that were there. Also...

Read today Canada is now official in a recession.

It's still up 7% in just 4 days. I'm not guessin which direction it's going. Just pointing out if you wanted to buy energy stocks when they are low you may have waited too late. A good portion of the dump today was related to OPEC saying they weren't changing anything when most of the OPEC...

Les Miles went to the hospital and was released. The first story I read had a comment that said ESPN is reporting Les Miles passed away. The next comment was spot on. Les Miles lives only because he doesn't believe in passing.

May see a bump soon in energy stocks. Oil now is up to right at $50/brl. Big quick jump.

The only year that matters is this one. The others is just stuff people talk about.

Subway is redoing the stores and changing the menu. I guess they think Jared is going to cut into sales lol.

West TX intermediate is currently at $45/brl and just a week ago it was at $39.

They had an update on the teacher over the weekend. I only read the headline but the teacher said they were late because they were having breakfast. I don't know if they were on breakfast duty at school or just felt like eating. I can't imagine a progressive punishment. I've never heard of...

It's aweigh. The US Navy spells it anchors aweigh. It's even in their song.

Did you seriously link a list with a powerhouse like Yale having the #2 spot, umm above UT?

Reminds me (not the woman) of time warping text. Summer before last I went to Seattle for a job interview. I had a full day off so I drove our to Mt. Rainer and took some pics and texted a few to a friend. 8 months later he got 3 text and called to ask why I was back in WA. Tech I guess.

They need to fire their prop people. Guns with visible C02 containers coming out of them and removable handguards on the AR's and rails and such. Really stood out.

His wife writes strange shit in "tongues" and he reads it and translates. Wierd shit. His wife lays on hands, which is odd because he is he sickest person and looks like death wamed over. I feel bad for the guy because we worked together 20+years ago. He worked in the shop and had to get up...

I posted something about it a while back in this thread. Supposidly they were trying that in some markets.

I assume you use the mouth wash made for them peroxide in them? I had a whole mouth full when I had my ordeal. That stuff reall helped.

How about some ice cream?
