There's also growing a ponytail, embarrassing yourself with a much younger woman, buying a motorbike and your children leaving home to look forward to. So come on, turn that frown upside down! :happy:Quote:

2. Why stop at 1001? You assume I wish to make a summary?
3. She can't perfect basic joint manipulation, let alone the technique of a reference she won't understand upon hearing it. Unless by nerve pinch you mean emotional distress, then she's already perfected it.
4. I hate social gatherings :emo:
5. No comment
6. I have such a thick head of hair, I don't think I could grow a pony tail even if I tried. If you met me in person, I would have had the thickest scalp of hair of anyone you've ever met. I actually envy balding a little. My hair has a tendency to grow upwards instead of lying down, I tried growing it out once until it started getting ridiculous (it was like a game of chicken, and it refused to lie down). So sadly, I think pony tails are a dream I'll have to forego.
7. Given the other commentary I've provided, I'm surprised you went with *embarrassing instead of *getting arrested. I'm among young 20-somethings now, but I could be teaching high schoolers next year :yikes:
8. I've already been the owner and seller of an 80cc scooter, so I'm sure I've already covered that highlight of life.
9. Still no childrens of my own lineage, and if I were ever to care for some youth, they'd probably be adopted. Not on the principle of overpopulation necessarily, but that the life of a human being isn't all that special, and the population that inhabits this world kind of sucks. I'd rather deprive it of the saving grace of my seed and let it lead itself to imminent destruction.
Edit:
Or maybe I'll get lucky and die of lung cancer first

Marketing and tiering shite by Intel is why anyone buys that crap. I think of all the people I met, less than 2 people out of hundreds who I know bought an i7 processor actually use them for what they are architecturally and feature-wise equipped for.
An i7 is a good processor, but if you can find me something you do regularly an i5-2500k can't do equally as well as the best i7 processor out there, I'll be mighty impressed. I think people get carried away with clock speed and core temperatures and oft forget that optimization has as much to do with usability as hardware. A lot of software has a limitation based upon how it's coded, and a lot of processors (especially i7's) just cater to specific needs like rendering and modelling.
Unless you plan to actually graduate from University, Oleg, stick to i5.
Just sign up for the credit card using the name 'Darth Rings' that should make you feel better Oleg. :fear:Quote:

Okay, I don't know much about this stuff, but according to wiki, there are no i5 CPUs that have more than 4 cores, but there are some i7 CPUs that have 6 cores. I was told that freebsd can take full advantage of all cores that are available in a CPU, which means the more cores a CPU has, the faster I'll be able to compile stuff from the freebsd ports collection.

You really don't strike me as able to compile anything more than an inane post history, but you will need a little bit more cash than $1,000 for a hex core based i7 processor system.Quote:

Well add $100 for each of the case, graphics card, motherboard, PSU.
Add $20 for drives, RAM, heat sink, cables.
And that's only if you're going for bottom of the barrel, cheapest quality parts or maximum average.
Nobody would stick an i7 with RAM that costs $20 and a $100 mobo.
The Hex core processors he is babbling about are LGA1366 package so you need an X58 chipset motherboard (not cheap) and matched tri-channel RAM (again not cheap). The Gulftown processors are the 970, 980 & 990 i7 Extreme processors with 12MB of cache and he will need alot more than $1,000 to build one of those puppies.Quote:

There is nothing wrong with the fact that I dream about having such a computer. Sometimes dreams become reality.Quote:

Uh oh, I see where this is going Oleg. Once you actually have the dream computer, you're going to be evicted from your apartment and not allowed to go back in to collect your stuff. Then they're going to let you go in for a few days to play on your computer only if you don't post on any forums. But then you'll make some mundane comment about how you're using your computer again, on this forum or another, and they'll kick you right back out. Then you're back to writing boring letters to the super, Equifax, NYC charity programs.Quote:

Congratulations, but since it has absolutely no relevance or does it propagate any interest, why didn't you just post it in the "what I'm currently listening to thread"?Quote:

Exactly, so why not edit out your post and replace it with "made an error, please delete" and then report yourself.Quote:

Just like a true gangsta, no snitchin', right?Quote:
