@ ATDestroy: I'm sure a lot of people have seen it, after all, the video looks a bit old, but still....just like Penguinboy said, there's still some people out there that have not seen it.
@ Penguinboy: You do have a suspicious mind, don't you?

Have you contacted them again on why you did not get your prize? If they have a customer service phone number, you should call them and demand to talk to somebody in charge! Sometimes it could also be a shipping address problem that prevents them from sending you your prize. It could be any reason really, on why you did not get a prize yet, so that's why you need to make the extra effort in finding out why. For a 70Gb USB Drive, I would.

It sounds like that, uh?, I wish it was so though, since I would be putting to use my sales training I got from collage. Anyway, don't you think when somebody say that something is the "best/fastest" of anything, should at least be accompany with some collaboration or backup or proof or at least something?
Now, coming back to what I said earlier about the PS3 and Unbreakable's remark, don't get me wrong, Unbreakable was not completely off the mark, and if I made it sound like he was a lying, I'm apologize then, I did not mean that. I do like the PS3 and I still think it's in the top 5 best BluRay players in the world in it's price range.

@ Unbreakable: According to the professional review on the LG BD300 by Kris Deering over at Home theater magazine publication, LG's first generation BLU-RAY player the BD300 is the fastest BLU-RAY player on the market. The Playstation 3 is no longer the fastest BLU-RAY player since the LG BD300 is about 5 seconds faster loading BLU-RAY's including intense java encoded discs. So the LG is the new reference player for speed. The Panasonic players are the overall best players for picture and a sound quality.

I know the talk here is about FPS games, but allow me to point this out: The one area that the Wii is the strongest and blows away both the Xbox360 and PS3 are the "exercises games", like the Wii Fit games. I know these are not exactly the normal mainstream games that console gamers are used to, but none the less it's probably the reason wy the Wii's installed base is about 5 times bigger than it's competitors. Heck, I myself got a pretty good cavervascular workout one day using my sister's Wii balance board.

So, any estimates on how much all of this is going to cost at the end? It's always good to keep track of any "investments" on your car, in case one day you need to sell it, you price it correctly and try to get back what you put in.

@ srry: To answer you question, yes, it is very incomplete. But at the same time, ATDestroy is also right, it's just better to be diplomatic when it comes to people's personal sites or blogs for that matter.
Personally, when I do a site, either it be for myself or for some client of mine, I won't publish it online until it's at least 80% to 90% done. I will make sure that at the very least all primary and secondary pages are done. Any sub-directories under some of the secondary pages can sometimes wait to be added after the main site gets published online. Of course, that's just me, everybody has a different way of doing things.

I'm not going to comment on the "zero content" thing you just mentioned, srry. But I will say something about those internal server errors: That could simply be a problem (shoddy service) coming from the web hosting company that Rimrook is using, so therefore it might not be his fault. Sometimes some of these online web hosts (especially the free ones) are not as good as they appear to be.

Yea, I managed to see just the second hour of the season premiere, House is a good show. But a few days before that, I saw the season #2 premiere of Fringe, man that's a good damn show! It's like the second coming of the X-Files, but better! The first season rocked, it was a real mind bender. Here are my other favorite shows that I can't wait to see their season premieres:
The Mentalist Smallville CSI: Miami Law & Order: SVU
Now, there were two other shows that I liked very much, but sadly, were canceled: The Unit and Kings. The first and only season of Kings only lasted for 13 episodes.

Yea, I think the Gina concept it's just too weird or too ahead of it's time for it to be practical in today's world. I mean, imagine if somebody brought in a BMW Gina in to an auto body repair shop to get fixed from an accident, how the hell would the auto body mechanics know how to repair a stretchy auto body skin? My bet, it would have to be BMW themselves that will need to do the repair job.

Free health care for all Americans? Kiss good bye your paycheck, most of it will evaporate in a large income tax hike to help pay for this health care overhaul. This whole health care fiasco is just going to hurt the Democrats politically in the end. Come the 2010 mid term elections, if this does not blow over soon and people are still getting upset on how their representatives are not listening to them during all those town hall meetings across the country, the Democrat party is going to loose it's majority lead in congress.

Sorry to hear that, sounds messy. I had one time something nasty spilled on me....Once while mixing some enamel paint at work, I accidentally splashed some toluene on my eyes! Toluene is a powerful industrial solvent used to make paint and other chemicals. My eyes were on fire, felt like needles being poked in to my eyes, man that shit hurt like crazy!

@ srry: Not really, they are still around, mostly being used by the so called high end PC boutique vendors like Alienware, iBuypower and CyberPower, just to name a few. Now, one company that has taken PC cooling technology to the extream, is none other than Dell!
For an example, Dell uses on their XPS 730x line of gaming PC's a propertiery two-stage cooling system they call "H2C", which is some kind of ceramic based hybrid solution. To quote from Dell, this is how they describe it:

Hold on a second,....you said you still need to put 3 things yet, which include the Core i7-920 chip, which I assume is the processor. Now, correct me if I am wrong, but I was under the impression that before the mother board is installed inside the case, the processor needs to be connected to the mother board first. Also, those 2 red round things, is that the heat sink or cooling fan for the processor?

Assuming he's out of jail, and like you said, his commercial making days are undoubtedly over. No company out there would want to have their products associated with a goof-ball like him now. But, he could still appear on some future "Reality TV" show, where standards on good tastes are non-existent. Don't underestimate how low TV standards these days can go.

Well, the best way to go when trying to learn a new musical instrument, is to have a personal tutor teach you. Now, one thing I learned from experience is that many professional grade music instrument dealers often offer free or very low priced classes on the various music instruments they sell. They do this to entice people to buy their instruments. There are also a whole bunch of tutor DVDs, books and interactive CD-Roms on the subject of guitar lessons.

@ Huntey: You misunderstood me. When I said "And to think people get paid big money to do that", I was talking about the actors and the fact they are getting multi-million dollar salaries so they can do all that fun stuff, while the special effects people get the hard technical work, and get paid a lot, lot less than the actors.

Well, I lucked out here in Puerto Rico, my local theater is showing it now, but only in one screen, while G.I. Joe is still taking up 3 screens and Harry Potter 2 screens, which I think sucks really. I guess I will go to the capital city (San Juan) and catch it at the 24 screen megaplex theater instead, there they have it on the 4 largest screens.

There's some programs out there, the so called "disk imaging tools", that enables you to backup, restore or clone your entire hard drive or selected partitions along with the installed programs, user settings, registry and all. What they do, is to basically take a "snapshot" of your hard drive's contents and make a bootable install disk out of it, in other words, an exact clone of your hard drive. You can restore the image later to the same or a different drive, and also choose to copy the drive directly to another one.
A lot of this programs are not free, but here are two good choices that are freeware:
