well this isn't related to anything here. Hell, its not even all that interesting. But it's gonna make ME feel better and i've got nobody else to vent to right now. so i'm sitting here quietly, rockin' out to Radiohead and doing a pretty intense graphic for our website. its got lots of layers, its got lots of masking, its got carefully chosen colors and it took me all morning to get together. i take a breather, stretch myself out - and kick the button on the power strip under my desk.

i cant believe phooey's not been fined by now. mua haha Four brothers left home for college, and they became successful doctor, engineer, accountant and lawyer and prospered. Some years later, they chatted after having dinner together. They discussed the gifts that they were able to give to their elderly mother who lived far away in another city. The first said

unfortionately i think if the boards were paying customers only, it would put a damper on people subscribing. the boards give you a community and if people don't have that extra incentive to look forward to, they'd just download their max and move on.

IPlural, i totaly hear ya. i took a social psych class where we looked at statistics revolving around marriage..amoung other things, our culture has less 'shame' then 40 years ago and everyone up and down the line has accepted people being together without being married.. even raising children. And, with two parents, doing it well. Marriage has become more of a

i coulda partifipated if i hadn't gotten so sick of pricing computers for being just before christmas best bet in most cases is to get a kit cpu case.. one that comes with the case, powersupply, motherboard, and processor. you'll have the best match for board and processor, plus the PS to fuel it. usually, also an on-board sound card (and these on-board cards are getting pretty juicey!). just that

those words are true.. but how many people have appeared recently and thrown down a potentially good book without bothering to open the cover first? the community at large agrees we're here because we enjoy the software we are using, but when you look at the boards they are tainted with rants and raves. its hard to get a good word through that mess without comming off like you are, in fact, just trying to collect money.

Jafo's unbaised and non-money-grubbing response is the answer to every flamer's rant on this board. i'm gonna make it a point to qoute his wisdom when someone comes out of the dust to say this place is trying to rob you blind. kudas for not being a telemarketer, jafo, and suggesting the trial before a purchase, and saying "its not for everybody". boo-ya.

thanks for mentioning something about this, grog.. i noticed that in the 'Rules for uploading' it says that no bryce-generated artwork would be accepted at all, unless it was really amazing. well, half of the wall papers section is bryce and poser models that havn't passed what i'd call a 'sketch' phase. there are some masterful artists out there but i'd like to see the admin's raise the bar on what 3dmodeling is allowed. these types of programs are tools but their initial renderings shouldn't b

Reply to Updating/Flashing Bios in Stardock Software WinCustomize Forums

hmm.. well your problem isn't your equipment or your bios. have you altered windows using any of the stardock bootup/login screens? if you use or have ever used something altering your boot or login, the only way to perfectly fix it may be to reinstall windows. but i'll let a stardock wiz tell whether its their program or not.

Reply to Updating/Flashing Bios in Stardock Software WinCustomize Forums

ps ... ..duff, if you arn't sure what exactly you're flashing it with, or if you don't know what your result is going to be by using any old flash file you found, DO NOT USE IT. rarely does anyone need to update their bios, and if you've got a newer AMD processor its likely your problem is not related to an outdated bios. furthermore, i can't even begin to describe the damage you would case if a patch rated for a different kind of processor actually took hold and attempted to update you

Reply to Updating/Flashing Bios in Stardock Software WinCustomize Forums

duff, if you have mapped network drives, other client software, or if you use Roxio's Go Back, that will significantly slow down your windows start up. you also might just need more memory, regardless of your processor's power. also, i've found XP to be 'bitchy' with AMD processors.. my home machine i built from scratch; now and then XP hangs during bootup. my work machine is a package from HP, and even this hangs sometimes on bootup. i've updated my AMD bios from a downloadable file fr
