    What would you think to be the cheapest way to eat, but still eat healthy?

    If you like tuna, canned tuna is always a good bet and by god it is healthy as anything you'll eat out of a can in the woods...

    anyone try/recommend meal replacement shakes/drinks?

    Well since you asked..... Met-Rx makes very good meal replacement bars, and even ready to drink meal replacement drinks if you wish to go down that route. otherwise, you can always mix up your own protein shakes and put fruit etc. in them to take away a meal (say breakfast). any protein...

    What Supplements are you taking?

    I normally drink 2-3 protein shakes a day, depending on how much I get from what I eat during the day. I'm going to start taking orange triad shortly, and normally before the gym i'll take some superpump250 and cellmass afterwards.

    Drove a 2008 BMW M5

    I'm more interested as to how you kept it only to 90 if you were accelerating on the highway!? I've driven in my dad's m6 and i've been hard pressed to keep the damn thing under 100 if I let it loose on the highway.

    Anyway to get pumped for, oh, 4 hours or so?

    I don't know how averse you are to the NO supps you mentioned, but taking something akin to that would certainly work for you, any of the N.O supps would certainly do it whether it is placebo or otherwise, you would feel and look (marginally) more pumped.

    Luxury SUV's

    I'm not sure about canadian, but I'd certainly begin looking at a Range Rover Sport (supercharged or otherwise) if looking in the price range of a spec'd out x5. A fully equipped sport will run you from about 65 to 74 in the us, the supercharged pretty much being 71-74. They are really...

    How reliable are BMWs?

    my 325xi is very reliable, have never had a problem with it.. I've had it since '06 got it new when the model changeover happened. its been great to me! That said, I'm still under the 4 year 50,000 mile protection plan. From a RELIABILITY standpoint I think it is extremeley reliable... cost is a...

    Trying to get in shape

    run, run, and run some more!! I'm an avid fan of running and the stationary bikes to break up my routines. Frankly, I've found that just leaving some food on your plate is a good idea to start, then slowly cut back on what you eat.

    Is my motherboard shot??

    No, it does not have onboard video. I tore my computer apart and ran the motherboard outside the pc so it is certainly not shorting out on anything. I'm about 99% sure that it is dead, if so, does anyone have any recommendations for a replacement, preferably around 150 ish to 200? Ideally one...

    Dr. Watson Post Mortem Debugger - Computer Freezes

    Oh boy, I had that on another computer of mine. the only thing I managed to do was get a process explorer, I'm at work and can't get a link right now, and just suspended it once windows booted. Otherwise, the only way I got rid of it was through a total reformat of my hard drive. I've no idea...

    Is my motherboard shot??

    Anyone have any tips for this motherboard or issues like this with it? It is so weird. I tried everything you guys suggested, still no dice. Anyone have any opinions on a striker II formula? I'm thinking the northbridge might have died due to too much hear, although I had a ton of airflow...

    Cyber Power PC

    I had bought a cyberpower pc before, probably two or three years ago now, and i didn't have any problems with them. Granted, their customer service was not the greatest but otherwise the build quality was fine and everything else worked well. I would agree with the above poster, go for...

    Is my motherboard shot??

    No nothing is in the usb ports, I've unplugged virtually everything except the keyboard when booting. I checked my power supply and it is working fine, pumping out more than enough juice to power it. I've swapped out the ram and that didn't work. I'm going to try a different cpu tomorrow when...

    Is my motherboard shot??

    Hey guys, I'm having an issue with my computer (the specs are in my sig, the top computer). When I turn it on everything powers up as it should but it won't even boot to my setup screen in bios. it just sits there with everything on. It is weird, I've pulled the power cord and cleared the...

    QX6700 and p5n32-e-sli overclocking help

    I was curious if anyone has any experience with this chip and/or motherboard and could maybe shed some light on my current overclocking conundrum. Right now I am running it at the specs in my sig, and I do not have any issues with it whatsoever. The only issue is Crysis will lock up sometimes...

    Help with P5n32-e SLI and FSB wall

    I have a newly built system, specs will be listed below, using the P5n32-e SLI motherboard and I am hitting a consistent wall at 1300FSB. It works at 1299, but the second I go to 1300 it will freeze up at the startup screen, normally within a second or two of it posting. I'm really stumped here...

    minimum wage increase?!? only if the wealthiest get a tax break, too

    the wealthiest aren't really getting a tax break... rather, they are getting what is rightfully do. why should your money, after being taxed once, be taxed again? why should the government get to tax you twice? how would you like it if you were going to leave your estate and your lifetime...

    What is my bottleneck?

    i would certainly suggest getting a 2 gig ram kit, or just adding two more 512 sticks to what you have. especially with newer games, i find that 2 gigs is a necessity to have, and besides, it never hurts to have too much ram.

    If a nuke went off in New York City

    blanketing all of iran in nukes or otherwise following the detonation of a nuke in new york would be idiotic, irrational, and frowned upon by the world community. not to mention the entirety of our country. obviously, we would retaliate, but where is the question? assuming like the starter of...

    The Democrats are effectively DOA.

    yes, i agree, she did bring a human face to the casualties in Iraq, or atleast one the entire nation identified with. yes, i feel extreme empathy for her and what she is going through, but she is not bringing any "solutions" to the table. I think the public's attention would be on Iraq...

    Problem playing games on 6800 Ultra

    Want to Try Fear (Can my card handle it?)

    well, i have a pair of 6800's which i can play 1600x1200 at at respectable settings... granted not respectable per most high end users' thoughts. you can certainly play F.E.A.R on one 6800, you just won't be maxing settings out anytime soon...

    flashed bios... now no oc settings will work in windows

    flashed bios... now no oc settings will work in windows

    oh yeah, i've done that multiple times actually. no matter what i do... disabling speed step, c1e, etc.. and reseting all the settings i had before i flashed it, it refuses to work. what i don't get is how when i've changed the settings as in putting them to my overclock, and i boot to windows...

    flashed bios... now no oc settings will work in windows

    okay, i have a p5nd2-sli deluxe mobo, and you can see the oc settings in my sig pre flash... now i get nothing. i boot to windows, my bios states that i have my fsb set at 1000 and my ram (ddr2) at 667.... cpu-z reports my speed as stock of 800 fsb and my ram remains the same. anyone else have...

    Your choice?: FX-55 or x2 4400+ w/ 1gb

    i would personally go for the x2 combination, and upgrade to 2gb of ram later when funds allow. i have the 660, and its a great processor. compare it to an x2.... i'm ashamed to have bought it without doing the research first :( . now granted, i'm perfectly happy with my 660 at 4.44 ghz... but...

    Help me build a computer with these specs!

    question about prime 95 failure...

    when i get the error of : ROUNDING was .5 expected .4 Hardware failure detected after running for only 1 minute, i'm assuming that means a stability issue? or is that telling me that my chip can't handle the overclock, or what? my specs are in my sig, except i'm trying to bench now at...

    not trying to start a flame war.. How many Arabs were displaced when Britain created Israel

    lets also never forget the other six million (gypsies, blacks, homosexuals etc.. ) which were killed during the holocaust... funny how we forget them.... i don't agree either with what was done with the creation of Israel. i think it was an act of both generousity and desperation to do something...

    Can someone remind me how Mr Bush's 10,000 seriously injured soldiers and over 2000 dead have helped America

    i personally never said, or intended to say, that they didn't know. the refusal to believe this would be more correct. and how much intel did we have about these camps, not all that much. the ss were very (gruesomely so)efficent in their operations. i mean, the signs that it was happening were...

    Can someone remind me how Mr Bush's 10,000 seriously injured soldiers and over 2000 dead have helped America

    Kristallnacht... for starters. and that in and of itself is not justifiable reason to take out a country. lol. sure, that was known, that was one event, and that was before we even gave a ****** about hitler or germany. we were still quite worried about the problems left over and continuing from...

    What will happen if materials for a nuclear bomb are found in the U.S.?

    the other problem is that attaining the full yield of the uranium relies on the simultaneous detonation of shaped charges around the uranium itself, allowing the bomb to reach full yield. if on fails to go off with all the others, a lower yield is achieved. if it fails totally, then nothing...

    'United States planning a military strike against Iran'

    i don't exactly enjoy the prospect of Iran having nuclear weapons, and not even the fact that that it may threaten us is what lead me to think that. though, i must say, it does seem very hard for me to keep on that side of the argument when i look at the israeli's, whom we give so much aid and...

    Can someone remind me how Mr Bush's 10,000 seriously injured soldiers and over 2000 dead have helped America

    actually, i'm quite curious for all those whom say the war is solely about oil... are you saying its about oil for personal gain on the part of the president, vice president etc... or are you talking about getting oil to secure our future interests and lifestyle in that product?

    Bush to implement Military draft before he leaves office in 2008?!

    the US is not losing its industrial base, its expanding it overseas. i wouldn't say its "losing" anything. yes, jobs are being lost, but a lot are also being created. goods are coming back cheaper. is it wrong for companies to go to another country and get cheaper wages, and not have to deal...

    Why aren't politicians held accountable under Bankruptcy laws when they bankrupt the country and keep borrowing money

    if you would like to press that argument, lets say that all of congress killed your fellow countrymen. remember, Bush alone did not send them over there and kill them. he asked for declaration of war, and he got it. he did not kill them. like i said, as much accountability can be placed on...
