  1. Cobb Co. now has cameras setup on all their buses that capture folks doing this and they're mailing out tickets, and boy are the expensive. Nope I didn't get one but I laughed about the person I know who did cos they didn't know they were breaking the law.
  2. Just admit it, you don't know how to use the 3 seashells.
  3. It's his seckrit ingredient.
  4. Meeting for which project? There is the big project from I-20 in D'ville that's going to run up 92 to Bill Carruth Pkwy (Hiram bypass) with the railroad underpass in D'ville... AFAIK the D'ville end of this project is moving forward glacially, and the Paulding portion remains to be seen as it's a future phase TBA. Then there has been mention of the one from Dallas Hwy to Crossroads on Dallas Acworth. Since it's a meeting at E. Paulding Middle, I am assuming the latter?
  5. Last year we went up thru Cartersville and got on 411, headed north until we saw a sign that said Ellijay. We then road forever through the mountains, and even passed "Hair-Do Heaven" with the tagline "where heads wanna go". The ride itself was much more enjoyable than the festival. The part we ended up at was like a flea-market carnival.
  6. I'd like to go up to grand's today and buy a pack of this: I think Stradial has a better chance at getting his wish than I do.
  7. I heard they will put it beside the Red Lobster!
  8. You can do whatever with it as it's not mine it's courtesy of teh internets.
  9. If I had to choose.. I'd choose this knife right here:
  10. Hours? Really? When D3 was released just last year it brought down the entire login server for both WoW and Diablo for over a week straight during peak hours, and was sketchy at best during non-peak. Queues have to be implemented on high pop servers during xpac releases. Login gating by waiting to re-try login was implemented so people quit hammering the login servers within a month at best. Hours? No. Not really. Nope it just kinda ignored facts, but thanks for playing. Lowest bidder gets the job for a reason. BTW the resemblance between this thread and threa
  11. "Wow, this newly made available website/online service that is attracting millions of users who are trying to access databases all at once has gone off without a single issue", said no one ever. Know what other type of service attracts a few million users who try to log in all at once? MMORPGs. Not ever has one gone "live" without crashing spectacularly in the first week/month from the amount of folks hammering the servers.. These are developed and released by companies who stand to lose money over crap like that and it happens every single time no matter how much they put into a load
  12. Instead of guessing and getting outraged over it why don't y'all actually read the internet news stories. On Oct first, by 4pm the website reported over 2.8 Million unique visitors. 81,000+ Calls were reported. 60,000+ Live chats requested. This has increased exponentially since the site went live. And the mouthbreathers who are sitting there clicking refresh every 5 seconds aren't helping a damn thing. The future deadline will be Jan FIRST, the deadline for the first year is MARCH 31ST of next year. Ya'll have 6 months buncha damn whiners.
  13. There will still be desktop systems.. But don't be surprised if they look like: Oh and the above "desktop" computer (Foxconn Brazos) is only $179 if you look around online, and it's not much bigger than a hardback book. But yeah the last computer I built for me (Intel Q6600 - Geforce 4600 - 4GB DDR2) is going on 5 years old now. I can encode a 90min DVD quality video file in under 20min to any format I want. No game I've played currently even begins to make it sweat. NO reason to upgrade until some major part of this dies, and no reason to be bleeding edge any more, I can
  14. Mobile devices have eaten the desktop industries lunch. Video card sales have flatlined as well. Spinning media (CD, DVD, Blu-Ray) has also had its run and on the way out. 88% of the PC market user space only want a machine they can go online, check email, and do spreadsheets with. The remaining 12% isn't sustaining anything any longer.
  15. If you read any pc industry data sites or listen to the pundits / experts they're prognosticating quite the opposite. Not saying you're uninformed but there's so much evidence to the fact that the PC, as a desktop, industry is dying. Dell, HP, others aren't making any more money in the desktop space, many manufacturers are having to branch out into the AIO systems, pads, set-tops, etc.. to stay competitive. Was being said years ago that eventually even the in the work space users will be supplied a monitor and keyboard/mouse (dumb terminals) and the actual desktop will be replaced with

  18. 11. Money may not buy happiness, but it can buy things to distract you from being unhappy.
  19. Living down south of Port Canaveral there was a huge mulching place that caught fire every single day during the summer, sometimes up to 3 times a day. We're talking 98-101 degree days with a nice Atlantic breeze causing mountains of mulch to burst into roaring flame spreading from mountain to mountain. Sirens all over town going off as fire trucks showed up to assist the place in making sure it didn't spread out of their yard. Choking smoke all over town.. The kicker is that this was a county run facility that they had for waste companies to dump yard debris to be mulched up and re-use
  20. Have you thought about getting the dog professionally obedience trained? It helps with that breed to have that done while they are still young and will give you something to bargain with when trying to convince others that the aggression can be held in check.
  21. What's funny is that I've seen it both ways, I know we're in the Greater Metro for Emissions reasons, but over the years I've seen other things (maps, listings) that show we aren't in the Metro Area, one being the "offical region" we're in as per the state. Confusing. On topic, with the blah blah on Georgia cozying up to the Movie industry it's like every other county around Atlanta has some sort of "studio" or movie facility these days.
  22. Just throwing this out there, it may be worth considering having an electrical circuit ran to the shed and planning for that before the shed pad is poured. May be easier and cheaper for the person doing the site work, pad prep, to trench out a line to bury the conduit in and having the conduit come up right inside the shed wall so you can have the electric line pulled later on if you need it.
  23. Yeah it's easy to miss when the eye is drawn to the bajillion Lil Tyke toys strewn about that house.
  24. PSHA.. I got ya'll beat, I'm a man and when I get sick the world has to stop and listen to me whine.
