  1. Sold them! Gee that was fast.
  2. Selling my 4870's. If anyone here is interested, I'm all ears. If not, tell me if my ad is effective. http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/van/sys/1908742244.html WMJ, your input would be especially appreciated. You've a knack for moving hardware.
  3. Steam Sale on what is a fun RPG/FPS that you can play Co-Op. The plot isn't that deep, but when you're vaporizing cannibalistic bandits online with friends, why care? http://store.steampowered.com/app/8980/
  4. At its price, it better be packed to the gills with standard equipment and doodads.
  5. Now it's stuck in my head! :@
  6. LOL at the minus oner who can't deal with the realities of basic urban economics!
  7. Because only 20% of your country's population lives in a 'rural' area. The other 80% live in urban areas, 72% of that population live in centers above 200K. Your situation may require a car, and that's perfectly fine. However, in a city like mine which is about 1111 square miles with about 2.5 million people, cars and congestion are a big deal; mitigating their use is of primary concern for both health and environmental concerns. This goes for pretty much any large city in North America. There's a difference between being chastised, and simply paying for a luxury. In a big city, owning a car is increasingly becoming a luxury and ownership should be tariffed accordingly. Yes they are much cleaner, as long as the ridership is above a certain threshold. And plenty of technologies exist or are being developed that make diesel buses far cleaner. That's why there needs to be oversight, and a changing of how the transit company is run. If less money is funneled into 'car-friendly' projects, or tolls and parking spaces/fines are increased, then the transit company would be able to have more flexibility in how their maintenance is conducted and wouldn't feel the need to squeeze each dime. The latter is still more desirable than the former, as long as those buses are efficiently run, and are carrying sizeable amounts of people. And how many assholes are getting charged with beating the crap out of each other for 'road rage,' and how many d-bags are out there nearly crashing into people because they're on cellphones. Given that I was nearly hit today as a pedestrian once, and saw two near misses when I was in my truck because of cellphone use, I feel safer on the bus already. Only if the population cannot sustain it. I don't think anyone here is telling small towns to get a bus service because that's asinine But, when 72% of the urban population inhabits cities that are over 200K, it's not a waste of time discussing mass transit.
  8. Then charge higher parking fees and fines and use them to pay for the better transit. Introduce tolls on roadways that target those who can take transit, but choose to take a car instead. People move to the suburbs hoping for cheaper living, but their choice of travelling long distances in gridlock has health and environmental concerns for many parties. They should pay up, instead of just having city-dwellers subsidizing the roads those suburbanites use.
  9. Urban centers need higher rates of parking fees. I think it was San Francisco that was proposing a system that would adjust the price based upon the demand for stalls. Naturally, this coincides with the time of day, like rush hours, and Friday/Saturday nights. A system like that would be perfect in a city like mine where the transit system is very good, and it's often slower to drive and park than it is to take the bus and train. Free or cheap parking only makes for congestion and more pollution. In the city, driving is a luxury, and you should be 'taxed' accordingly.
  10. 1. Sell Car 2. Buy Fixie 3. ?????? 4. Get Hipster Campus Chicks (Profit!) It'll only cost you your self-esteem and respect! But you could rock one of these babies! For only a quarter of the cost of an intake gasket repair, you too can look totally anti-corporate and indie! With the 'Ring-O-Star' coffee cup holder for your fixie, you can bring your double shot mocha 'expresso' (only corporate suburb losers say espresso) along with you to Arts School! Need to take your brew to the concert of your favorite band before they sell out?! 'Ring-O-Star' guarantees you can go up to 20MPH without getting your coffee onto your $200 skinny jeans that show off your emaciated, starving ass! Heading down a hill and missing the brakes you removed yesterday!? No worries! Our patented technology means that when you smash your head into the brick wall of a Williamsburg apartment bloodying up your ironically cool hoodie, your coffee will stay totally hot and in its place so you can quickly grab a sip, and look like you only had an accident for ironic effect! It's THAT cool! Don't keep a French press in your bag! That's what everyone else does, and it was only cool when you did it. Thanks to the 'Ring-O-Star' you can stash up to three more intellectual novels making you three times more mysterious! Don't delay, put more Dostoevsky in your swag bag today! Our rubber grips are strategically located to conceal the logos on the coffee cups! No longer will you have to cover up the Starbucks logo for fear of enduring insults from your peers! Walk, don't run! In fact, don't care! Because caring is for the unenlightened! So don't care and not buy a 'Ring-O-Star.' Because that would be like, the opposite of Ironic. It's like... 'Ronic!' So don't buy one!
  11. Not only did Pontiac tastelessly make the grills way too big and garish, but the owner had to affix a naked lady silhouette underneath them thus eliminating whatever remaining class was left on the vehicle.
  12. So that's how WMJ has managed to use those swanky new USB devices. That's almost as awesomely bad as this:
  13. Yeah, but at least it'll drive.
  14. Dear sir, I heartily reject your notion that this is not talent, and is in fact, a heartfelt plea to everyone in the world. Allow me to demonstrate. By singing about hiding 'your kids' and 'your wife' from the rapist, the man in the video is conveying his frustration towards the poverty he's surrounded by; the rapist himself is being raped by society. Confronting the rapist through the lens, this man says he (the rapist) needs not confess, and addresses him as 'homeboy,' a sign of mutual brotherhood and that are both victims. But the singer's sadness and anger about his situation comes to a head when he boasts of the items left behind after the rape, sets of fingerprints and especially a T-Shirt. The T-Shirt is likely tattered, and stinking with sweat and Mad Dog, yet another metaphor for the projects that the singer dwells in. 'Climbing the Windows' is metaphor for climbing the social strata, however the rapist only shatters them after having climbed one level. Because of the impoverishment, and societal pressure, our rapist cannot escape his upbringing, and in his anger, shatters the window instead of continuing to climb. Finally, he closes his screed by claiming the rapist is 'really dumb' but this is mere posturing. For our singer must appear tough in the face of the media for that's how society and his peers tell him to act.
  15. Wow that is super low mileage! I'd be all over that.
  16. That diamond lane stuff is moronic. I'm glad they didn't give in to Hybrid driver's wishes up my way. It makes no sense that hybrid drivers should be allowed into that lane, while VW TDI's, and 80's CRX's get better mileage.
  17. Oh wow, that's terrible. If they wanted to do an 16-bit Nintendo jingle, at least do it in style:
  18. If their feedback is 100% and they've only got several transactions, then it may be of concern. Otherwise, I'd sit tight for just another couple days. I was in a similar situation, and it came down to the person having some change in their routine and schedule which meant they were unable to get their item to the post office to ship to me, and email me in a prompt manner. lmao! I love this comment on his feedback: I think anyone who'd put that on my eBay profile would get a big, fat -
  19. The lack of animated gifs for this new meme is disappointing. GifSoup crashing harder than a Solstice into a K-Rail every five minutes likely doesn't help.
  20. If I were in your boots, I'd have been trying to get on the horn with whoever is responsible for the operation, or even someone high up on the food chain about this. Hell, even calling up the local news to kvetch. This is the kind of nonsense that gives dealerships such a bad name, but especially a company. I'm sure if you were an average joe who wasn't pre-disposed towards GM products, you'd be checking out a Toyota Tacoma right about now. GM's connection to its buyers is through dealerships. If they can't get the grassroots to offer the same excellence as their vehicles, then their recovery will be bleak.
  21. Warning: Some colourful language. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B55uUwMGorY And now a remix:
  22. Happy Birthday!
  23. Two monitors running HD-resolution must be awesome. But it seems like it'd start giving your 4770 a bit of a hard time.
