That suggests a long-running thread: post the best and worst error messages. Including those that are intentionally funny.

I don't know, upon reading ya'lls comments, if I should be glad I'm not the only one or terrified that that sort of time waste is actually common. :o

Awesome....my OCZ Vertex 2 is flaking out on me. Again. I bought the drive back in late 2010 and had that replaced in July of last year. Here we are six months later and having similar issues. They better send me a Vertex 3 for my troubles.

They won't. You'll be lucky to get another Vertex 2 or a response. I can't believe anybody still pays OCZ any attention, as long as this has been going on.

They were actually quite responsive and timely with my last RMA. The guy that I talked to on the phone yesterday said that the chances of me getting another Vertex 2 are slim-to-none, and would be provided a different drive. My guess would be the Vertex 3.

Anyone in here have a Galant? I'm moving(to a smaller apartment, bigger city) and thought this would suit me nicely. I've never owned an Ikea product but there are those that rave about this stuff. Just wanted to know how things have worked out for anyone here.

Looks like derFunk was close to being right about OCZ.

All good fun until some numbnut with a third grade comprehension level or IQ feels slighted for a 'handicap' and gets a lawyer involved because of a self-inflicted injury because he didn't understand the warnings or instructions. :P

i don't feel too bad this morning. A bit of the cotton mouth and a little bit of a headache, but I took some tylenol and drank a glass of water and I'm feeling human again. The rum was Bacardi Oakheart, which is a spiced rum my parents gave me for Christmas. If you like that sort of thing, I highly recommend it...very smooth, and warms you up.

I actually have been meaning to try that (the oakheart, not the random rum and coke--been there, done that).

Had a guest lecturer in one of my classes today. He's mainly a research professor and only teaches one undergrad class (Intro to VLSI design) at the very end of a long tree for Computer Engineering. He talked about temperature aware computing, and while nothing was new to me it was still pretty interesting. He also used images from TR on his slides. Specifically images from this article.

Also, he had a keychain Intel guy. In orange! I might've been a little envious. My brother has 2 in yellow from when the Pentium II came out, but neither is keychain sized.

Please explain or show/link images to what a keychain intel guy is... color is irrelevant

Hmm, when you're bored and work for the state prison print shop, things like this happen:

This may appeal only to a tight slice of the older crowd here, but based on the box that hit my doorstep today the classic Land's End Hyde Park Oxford is back.

It's been a decade since I've been able to buy these shirts and I'm going to bend the card a bit to stock up against the next inevitable drought. Good thing they last 10 years or so.

Why is it so hard to find a good dark green dress shirt?! I find pale greens, I find ones with patterns...I just want a good solid forest green dress shirt dangit! I've got one that's kind of a workshirt that's in the shade I like but I can't find any actual dress shirts in that shade.

Sorry Ned, your post made me think of shirts :lol:

Well, that was the point.

No Forest Green at Land's End, but a whole lot of quality shirts. The ones I bought 20+ years ago would still be in the wardrobe if my gut wasn't in the way.
