Everything Else TWC / Re: Never seen this happen before

after affects of the power serge finally hitting them, eh? 

It wasn't a power surge that night, it was a water leak from what I understand.

It was both, IIRC. A water leak caused the power surge, or something like that.

Well...I would like to share an "undertaking" that I'll soon be taking part in.  I've finally decided to build my own computer.  The laptop I've had for two years now has almost ground to a halt, and the hard drive is a little too small for what I'll be doing in the future and what I've been doing. Namely:

 - web site development
 - light software development
 - Flash design and programming
 - my TV tuner
 - gaming
 - 3-D modeling (mainly for personal use)

Here's some of the stuff I want to get.  I think a couple of you are a little more versed in this stuff than I am...maybe some advice?

Case
Processor + Motherboard

I've already got a video card, hard drive(s), and a DVD drive.

Congrats. Welcome to the other side... 

Anyway, the case looks fine (reminds me of a Compaq case), but that processor and motherboard are extremely outdated. The AMD 939 architecture is ancient in computing terms. If you're going to go AMD, look look for a socket AM2 motherboard and processor. And I HIGHLY recommend getting a dual core processor like an AMD Athlon 64 X2. Pretty much all computers sold today have multiple cores. If you plan to do any gaming or video editing, dual core WILL pay off.

I noticed TWC hasn't played Samuel Lincoln music in a while. I hope so, so we can lose interest

In a while? A Samuel Lincoln song was played last month.

I'm really way too bored tonight...



BTW, that's not an actual Short Term Forecast, it's a Forecast Discussion.

I know this is getting a bit off-topic, but have any artists joined the forum? It would be great if they did.

Local Forecast / Satellite IntelliStar Ski Conditions

« on: February 08, 2008, 03:46:40 PM »

Do the Dish and/or DirecTV IntelliStars show Ski Conditions at :53 or :54 after the hour like all the other cable STARs show? And if so, what ski locations are shown?

Thanks.
