It's not on because you are a horrible person.

Ouch, that looks as painful as Chairman Mao in a commodities market!

I'll start: "One day when I was chillin in Kentucky Fried Chicken ..." Everybody now! A little Run DMC sing along!

For all who care, I figured it out. I have a new vid card that I installed on the mobo in the process of building the machine. ATI Raedon all-in-wonder 9800 Pro. Anyway, there's a cooling fan on it, and there was a wire hitting the center part of the fan and slowing it down. The card would overheat because it was getting too hot - the fan wasn't spinning fast enough. That's why the SATA drive wouldn't format, and all kinds of odd stuff would happen during install. As soon as I fixed that, everything was great! I highly recommend the 10,000 RPM SATA drives. Screaming fast.

I've got a dell XPS right now and it rocks. I wish I could afford the vid card upgrade to the 9800 - I bought it when the 9700 was standard.

Yes, the Bills have beaten bad teams, but they should. The true test is how they beat them. Good teams should kick the crap out of bad teams. We have done that. So I don't want to hear the BS about Buffalo playing bad teams. We've won convincingly in every game we should have in the last 3/4 of the season. Also, I'd like to remind everyone that Donahoe sucks.

I loved legos and loved to build models. I got a slot car track and a science experiment kit once. That was awesome. One year I got a radio you could build yourself. That was really cool. God, I'm a friggin geek.

112K miles! Dude, that's awesome! That's a good amount of milage for a truck, so chances are it could be something pretty bad. You may have to cut your losses and get a new truck. Count your blessings that the thing lasted as long as it did, because that's awesome.

Jingrle behrs, Jingrle behrs. Awesome movie! My father in law is in tears every time he sees that because he remembers so much about being a kid in those years. I enjoy him laughing as much as I enjoy the movie itself.

Update: Tried formatting a regular IDE drive. Only got through 30% - just like my SATA drive. I figure something is overheating and stopping it. Odd stuff.

I think the 10000 RPM ones are. That's what I have. I have a new PS with native SATA support. As far as speed goes, I'm expecting it will be faster since the HD I/O is the biggest bottleneck at this point for most systems.

Thanks, man. I appreciate it. Nothing more frustrating than new geek stuff that won't work.

I have a new ASUS board - and it won't recognize my new SATA drive. There's an option on the board to do a low level format through the RAID controller, but it only gets about 10% through then stops. Any ideas?

I use IMAP. I do so because I'm on a couple of computers where I need access to all my e-mail. IMAP does a pretty good job of that, while still being able to organize my e-mail into folders and have them accessible anywhere. Works great with Thunderbird! The important thing is to archive. I archive my old e-mail that I still need to keep to DVDs. I have a couple gigs worth in about 8 months between both work and personal e-mail.

I love cats. I can't eat a whole one, though.

BTW - that's not a glock in your avatar. It's a bell set - or that's what we used to call them in HS.

Holy cow! Exclamation points!

Oh my gosh! Overuse of the exclamation point! Yeah man, going to the playoffs really sucks. It's horrible.

Mongoloid.

No way. Because they are cheesey as hell and ugly. Also, anyone who wears them will never get laid again. Good enough reasons for me.

Totally agree. Either you hit on 100% of your picks or you blow. You should be drafting so well that you don't need to sign any vet FAs!

I've been saying he's been very good since he got here. Just ask Steven in MD.

Dude - don't you know that TD sucks? 1. He can't draft players that produce results or develop. 2. His free agents don't produce. 3. His UDFAs are worthless! 4. The current coaching staff sucks. I can't understand why people keep sending him love!

Oh sheesh. Let's be realistic here. We are certainly not the best "team" in the NFL. That would be the Steelers. We've got a long way to go before we talk SB.
