  1. I saw this on youtube's TED as well. I liked this alot.
  2. Go here, and watch the video. Do as it says. This won't hypnotise you or anything like that. http://www.break.com/index/cool_optical_illusion.html When I looked away then back at my computer monitor, it made the entire screen all wavy and fluid looking. Quite interesting. And the next 4 vids that usually pop up when you finish watching looked like they were floating and moving as well. Hard to explain.
  3. Ok. I've a Radeon HD 6950 in my system now. Just a single card and I can run rift or any other game at max settings without lag. Here's a 6870 HD Radeon from newegg.com for $160. It's open box, which means it was a return, but tested ok by the manufacturer. http://www.newegg.co...82E16814102909R You definitely want something in the Radeon 5000 series or up to play Rift. Or you can go with Nvidia, I'd recommend something with at least 1GB of onboard RAM. Here's a 400 GTS series card from nVidia. It's got decent RAM and should run Rift on Average settings just fine, or you can try for max settings. Either way you shouldn't have to do minimal settings at all. This particular card will set you back $130 from newegg.com. http://www.newegg.co...N82E16814121415 Hope this helps. Of course, the above 2 cards require a pci-e connection on your motherboard. If you are using AGP or even PCI, there are video cards out there for those slots, but they won't be speed demons. And they may even be worse than what you have. Just for frame of reference, here's my video card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102914
  4. Happy B'day to Zhiv(39)! (This is sad indeed... :))
  5. Don't take any photos near any airport or this will happen to you... http://www.longislandlawyerblog.com/mother-of-3-arrested-for-taking-pictures-of-tourist-attraction-at-airport
  6. Because the UK is getting Law & Order: UK! Our longest running crime drama (L&W, LW:CI, LW:SVU, etc etc) is now being cloned in the UK...by the same franchise. http://www.bbcamerica.com/content/411/index.jsp
  7. Don't hate me for being a man...but these vids are....wow! Oh and definitely not safe for work! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0k0OT7ork4s
  8. It's a $3000 mini semi that a father made for his 11yo son...and it's almost completely DOT legal. If you watch the first video, the father talks about how almost 95% of it is hand-made from junkyard parts. Made from the chassis of a lawn mower. The year before this video was made (or the part one video), the owner recieved 6 trophies at that show.
  9. My condolensces to you and your family. Take care of your family and we'll take care of the guild under Shaw's very capable leadership.
  10. It has for me...I've cleared the cache, temp internet files, etc. Just wondering if it's been slow for you too?
  11. Great documentary about live as a parking attendant in Charlottesville, Va.
  12. So by putting advertising in the restroom on a mirror will make people want to buy say water, tickets, etc etc. The purpose of mindshare, as I see it, is that when someone thinks of bottled water, for instance, you think of maybe a handful of brands like Aquafina, Deer Park, Dasani, etc etc. So by advertising on a smart mirror, even though the display will be off in the corner, just out of direct eyesight, the object will be in your immediate thoughts for you to want to buy. It's scary, but smart. Thanks for the heads up! And I'll be able to apply this to my major in college as well.

  14. Not only a national hero, but a world hero.
  15. A mirror that also displays ads...creepy if you ask me. http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-biz-0121-bathroom-ads-20110120,0,708194.story?track=rss&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+chicagotribune%2Fbusiness+%28Chicago+Tribune+news+-+Business%29
  16. http://www.dailyfinance.com/story/investing/10-american-companies-that-will-disappear-in-2011/19798647/ Posted more for infomational purposes. If you own stock in any of these companies, I'd liquidate now. Just a thought.
  17. Or it could be that people are purchasing guns for pleasure. Or maybe just self protection. Times are still tough. And although the economy looks like it is healing itself, you still have to worry about the economy in the future. Will it be stable? Or will it implode, leaving the majority of Americans to fend for themselves, living out thier lives in a world of anarchy and lawlessness?
