Ditto.

Lol, I dig the vintage kitsch of that. Whole bunch of insecure dudes on CR...

True that. Very thought provoking read. Interested to see where this goes. And also, LOL @ Bob and PP.

Man, that is SHARP. GLWS. Is there anything in your family that isn't in mint condition?

Just a reminder that today is an important day, in our nations history and our culture, and in some peoples lives personally. Take a minute to remember, CR.

Well done, man. What would you charge to put another unit like that in someone's car?

Yeah man....brutal. Looked like the SC running back from a few years back.

Nope.

I might get blasted for this, but I hope that kid just shows out at that level. He did some dumb things, and by all accounts probably had an attitude issue while he was here, but I hope he has his head screwed on straight now and plays well. The problem in Oakland is that their O-line is straight turrble, so he'll get plenty of chances to show his speed.

Tell me someone went and it's awesome?

MY FAVORITE THING ABOUT OHIO STATE IS THE FACT THAT YOU AND I LIVE IN IT TOGETHER LIKE THE BFF'S THAT WE ARE!

The handling of the Miami case should have cost Mark Emmert his job. That he is still the head guy is patently ridiculous.

They would leave because right now they are sharing the revenue with over 300 schools. Why would you do that, when less then half of those schools even have football programs? Also, each of those other 300 schools get's a vote on how that money is shared. Trust me, the big four conferences would make a stupid amount of money by leaving. They would only have to revenue share with themselves (if they chose to do that at ALL), they would get to have their own rules committee, their own TV deal....the only losers in that deal are the NCAA.

I'm not one of those that thinks we SHOULDN'T have been wacked. The rules were broken, and discipline was needed. Where I get frustrated is the complete lack of any consistency at ALL when it comes to the NCAA's handling of punishment. I think that is actually where the issue lies for most folks.

Posted on 16 JAN 2013. I am giving this three years. In the next three years you will see an exodus of the top four conferences in major college football from the NCAA. They MAY stick around for all other sports, but football will create a new governing body.

Japan World Cup is fucking hilarious.

So, I work in energy. That means that I must keep abreast of the commodities market. In doing so, I have become more aware of all of the interesting interconnections between certain things, more aware of the "moving parts" in the world. For instance, have a read here... http://www.globalpost.com/dispatch/news/afp/130813/chill-us-russian-relations-dims-disarmament-hopes It seems that Obama would like to continue down the path of disarmament, but maybe the Russians are not so eager to right now. Now, taken on it's own, you might say that this is just an example of a world leader trying to do a good thing for the world, and you'd probably be (at least a little bit) right. BUT, is there more to this story? http://www.usec.com/russian-contracts/megatons-megawatts Wait, what? So, the disarmed Russian nukes are then being purchased by the .gov, converted, and sold to the US energy industry to power my computer? HOLY SHIT, my computer is BOMB POWERED!!! But seriously, how ingenious of a lever is that to use, politically? And really, why would Russia be uninterested in selling off some more of the nukes it will most likely never use? http://eng.globalaffairs.ru/number/The-Sum-Total-of-All-Fears-15935 http://english.pravda.ru/world/europe/05-07-2011/118396-nato_russia-0/ So, the Russian conventional military is crumbling, and they are nervous about China being the new Asian superpower. I would want to hold on to some extra nukes too, if I were them. And this is just barely scratching the surface. I encourage you to think about some things in your world, look for the connections between them that aren't obvious right away.

No shit. I'm glad I'm not the only one that sees it.

Guys, Urban did NOT make anyone a captain. To my knowledge, the team voted for those guys.

Man, I need to run a 3d mark.. Haven't since I put the 580's in. Can you do that online? EDIT: Ah, found it on steam. So, using the "performance" preset and leaving everything at stock speeds, I got a 10868. :-) Not too bad for a machine I built in spring of 2010.

I have installed 8 OCZ SSD's in computers. I have replaced all 8 of them within a year of install. I won't touch OCZ,

That case turned out far better than I even hoped for. Really came together nicely.

Also, you need another fan on your radiator.

Awww....look how little and cute those GPU's are.... Nice a clean man. Good on ya. I have the white case. I love it.
