    hp 10" netbook, no ssd!!!! $137

    Granted I don't have this exact model laptop, but I do have a 1035nr, and if this model is anything like the one I do have it needs a 1.8in lif hard drive. Those are really strange to come by, and I haven't found them to be reasonably near the price of normal 2.5in drives. Warning for those...

    When you're using a laptop...

    I absolutely HATE the nub, I usually remove it from the keyboard so I don't accidentally smack it while typing. I got for the touchpad if and when I can. However, if this is on my personal pc, I'll opt for this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16834998248 bluetooth pcmcia mouse for...

    If you were a drain on society, would you feel bad about it?

    For me, if I were on welfare/foodstamps I would feel some guilt about it since I know I'm a drain on those around me. That part essentially came from coming from a farmer's family and not just wanting to sit there and do nothing. For the welfare thing, as long as I were working my way to...

    Bionic Commando Rearmed question

    I beat it by blowing off the treads, then unscrewing the bolts.. then making the bulldozer ram into the left scaffolding again and the driver falls out killing himself.

    Any former Mac users here?

    I started off with a mac in the 8.x era, then went to windows 95. I wasn't a fan of either, they were just "there". Currently I have a macbook that I use for work related mac testing, but outside of that I don't really use it. At home I use Vista for gaming and general whatever on my desktop, XP...

    I'm about to embark on an adventurous quest never before experienced in my young and geeky life.

    I've done solder jobs on laptops similar to what you're describing a number of times. Usually just reheating the existing solder is enough to get the connection to rehold. Heat to the point where the solder is shiny, then pull away gently so you don't splash solder someplace strange. However...

    Would you be embarassed to eat at McDonalds?

    Over time I realized that for the same amount of money I could by something else that tasted better. The only compromise was that I had to be willing to wait a bit longer for my food to get to me.

    sigh, japan...

    Don't look, it's a trap! Some eps of this show are hilarious though, sometimes the crossdressers fool some poor sap so bad they have to feel them up to be sure.

    Will the new 60gb 360s be the Jasper version?

    For myself, I more concerned with the heat output of the 360. I've been holding off on buying one till the Jasper revision came. I'd hope the process shrink would help with the heat problem, and in turn the rrod problem.

    There is a spider in my cubicle *7/16/08 final, tragic update*

    Grab some canned air, turn it upside down, give him a good dose and freeze him, then leave him there as an example to his brethren as to not encroach upon your land. Or you can grab some paper, coax him onto it and relocate him to a more appropriate area. Say, that creepy guy's cube in your...

    Father-of-three branded a 'pervert'

    I was thinking.. maybe the guy was massively creepy looking and doing pedosmile while taking the pictures, but in the article he was an average looking guy. Even the pictures he took of his sons look innocent enough.

    PS3 Greatest Hits Incoming?

    If $30 is the magic number for anyone, I saw Folklore for $29 at walmart last week. Looked to be marked down from $49. When the greatest hits thing comes in I'll check it out. Since I got my launch ps3, I only bought 3 games.

    Neighbors play insanely loud music

    Do they rent? If so, you can write the owners or management and cc the HOA and explain the issue. Helps if you youtube it and include the link so they can see that you're not making it up. For side awesome, put salmon roe (fish eggs) in the air intake on their car. Gets stuck in the air filter...

    OMG, Customers crack me up.

    I had one girl put in a work request asking someone to look at her pc because it would constantly type in the letter "b". She mentions that this is a large issue that has been affecting her productivity and needs someone to look at it asap. I go to her desk, open up notepad to see if the letter...

    what happened to Papa Johns Pizza?

    Could just be the Papa Johns nearby my place, but the toppings are the skimpiest I've ever seen in my life. I asked for an olive pizza once on a medium or large (don't remember) and I had 12 olive slices on it. I'd expect 12 olive slices on 2 slices on pizza. A month and some later I decided to...

    Very old thread revived for no reason GameStop: Big Problem

    I went to the store to buy a game as a present, then the cashier proceeds to pick up the case from the shelf. The one with the price sticker on it, opened, and with billions of finger prints all over the manual.. grabs what appears to be a used disk from a drawer, fingerprints scratches and all...

    Boom Blox sells only 60k units

    The game name and cover art don't exactly inspire confidence imo. However, after playing it, it is an incredibly addicting game. I am a bit surprised with the low 60k number though, when I was last at Fry's they were pimping out the game + wii + "sports pack" + battery kit like mad. From...

    Portable air conditioners

    I had one, they were loud where I would want to sleep in the farthest corner away from the unit, but still doable. I later returned it because my circuit breaker would keep going off when the AC and the compressor on my wine fridge would turn on at the same time. I blame the old wiring in my house.

    Do you sit in front of a computer at work

    I sit a lot at my work as well, so I make it a point to stand up and move around whenever I can. If I have a meeting coming up where I don't have to talk a lot of access my notes, I'll take it on my headset and walk around the building till the meeting is over.

    How late can you be for work?

    Work hours are supposed to be 8-5, but in reality I come in around 10-10:30am, do the lunch thing from 12:30-2pm, then take off at 3. Only reason I'd have to stick around longer is a meeting or a large project. Depending if any correspondence is needed, I'd normally do that around 10-11pm at...

    Have you ever eaten tuna straight out of the can?

    Depends on where I am. If I'm at work, I'll just eat it straight out of the can with a bit of salt and pepper. If I'm at home, I'll eat it from a bowl with rice. Works great as a high protein source on work out days.

    Should I ship the item before or after the cheque clears?

    You can always go to the local branch in your area of their bank and cash the check directly. Takes a bit of effort, but if it's on the way to the grocery or lunch, why not.

    Wii > all for one very simple reason

    I bought the Link Crossbow training game with the hopes that it would be a typical shooter style game, ala point blank but it was more akin to moving around a cursor with the wiimote. Shooting with Time Crisis3 on the ps2 felt like I was actually shooting at the target I was aiming at. If House...
