For Da Sick Ninja - Page 4

Damn verbal section screwed me up (that and the aforementioned not skipping a question). I wish I had known you could skip a question and still get an 800. Damn ego.

UConn, and I plan to do a graduate at WPI.

Not quite, what I meant is that I had 21 college credits already after graduating HS, and could have done college in three years instead of 4. Though I did start taking course for college credit in 11th grade (math, programming, and history I think). I just decided to retake a couple of courses in college (complete waste of time education wise, though thats were I met my wife, so it worked out all good).

Why do I feel like the oldest one here?

For what its worth to those of you looking at colleges, I got wait-listed at Carnegie Mellon (though I think that had a lot to do with a certain incident involving a suspension in HS, and the fact that I was applying for financial aid as a middle-class white male. More the suspension.) I ended up at PSU which has a pretty good computer science and engineering school. They have one of the top women in computer engineering as a professor. She specializes in lowering power consumption usage in processors and did a lot of work with Intel. She probably was at least a consultant for Pentium M and Conroe.

I decided I was sick of school and eschewed the whole Graduate School thing. Plus, someones got to earn the money. My wife's a PHD student at the moment. I may go back for one or more Grad degrees (Comp Sci or Comp Eng and possibly an MBA) eventually.

*Point's and laughs*

Absolutely. If you want to teach, thats the way to go. I was planning on going on further up until my last semester. I was even in our honors program that basically allowed you to write your own ticket to grad school. I just decided that since I wanted to either:
A) be my own bossB)Work as a consultantThat grad school wasn't the way to go at the time.

That sounds about right. Most of the teachers I've had that never worked "in the field" were missing something...

Plus, if you do it right, you can always consult on the side while teaching. Thats where the money's at.

Bonus? LOL, what kind of easy schools do you kids go to? We didn't have BONUS when I was in H.S. and we certainly don't in college! You either get an A+ or you don't. A+'s are RARE. You have to pretty much be a complete kiss ass.

I'm pulling a 3.0+ in college, halfway to my associates, part time. Everything we learn is strictly business. We don't do labs, we give presentations and write 10 page papers about corporate America, globalization, and management practices. Everything we learn is pretty much self taught, 3 hour class periods are just for lecturing about whatever the profs want, or learning about specific companies and how they run their business.

BTW, I keep narking on Taco because he's too well liked. He always jacks threads with personal crap. This was my thread, I didn't mean for it to turn into 10 pages about HS sports. It was to see if anyone else could come up with original ideas, and what you thought about mine...there's been a recent hardware "boom" in the computer industry, but we just got out of 5 years of very small hardware jumps. So to keep it real... Read Hergie's post above mine. :-P

For Surge and UPS's, APC is pretty much still the best. My dad used to be partnered with a guy that had a better circuit design than APC like 15-20 years ago. At the time, they were APCs main competitor in corporate environments. Could of been a millionaire, but the guy was an asshole and refused to make stackable battery packs, or any other improvements to his design. Lost out on some HUGE corporate contracts that way.

I have some small experience with recovery software, and there is a software package I usually recommend for it, but I can't remember what its called. EZRecovery or something like that.

I would have been kinda interested in a cooling fan review (I'm kind of a noise nut), but I just put in a 140mm high-blade-count case fan and a Scythe Ninja to go with my AeroCool2 VGA cooler. Now my Opteron maxes around 45C and is pretty much as close to completely silent as possible.

I'm SO pissed! Shouldn't an X1950GT be scoring higher in 3Dmark (05 AND 06) than my X1900 AIW card? Does it take into account the tv tuner and give it pts for that or something?

So what you are saying is that just because sirheck and everette said high to me when I joined the thread, you are mad because they paid attention to me? Seems like a pathetic reason to me to always be flaming on me whenever you see me in a thread

Hey,I,m lookin for one,I keep breaking the kitchen units(2 now)which are subbing until I find one(in the $20.00 range),my old lady is freaking.

that is really a personal opinion. =(comfort)

but on the build quality and looks and durability, sure.

if i was gonna spend 100 or more on a chair i would spend sometime
(in-store) and sit in it look it over, all that shstuff.

then make my own decision.

Bastard.

hmm, then I don't see why you are getting lower benchies, all I can say is the drivers may not be as good for the gt yet

Tacos is just a noob. End of story.

They all went out to join the real world. And I followed suit.

Just because they use the same drivers doesn't necessarily mean the drivers are as optimesd for the gt, since it's the newer card

and did I miss something? When did we start discussing how much of a newb I am :x

no, tool was the one that called me a newb first

[quote="DaSickNinja"]...he represents me as a carrier of the DaClan banner.[quote]

Are you gangsta rappers by any chance?

Yes?

are you running a movie theatre box? Because for my general uses, a stand up tower seems to be more appealing, but that is weird, and as you see, threads get hijacked very easily, I'm not just some person that goes around hijacking threads for the fun of it

I'm running an FX-60 socket 939 full tower powerhouse, an FX-55 socket 939 mATX LAN party system, and a Pentium 4 HTPC. So the answer is yes, and I agree. :-)

Alright, I know you were fooling around, but calling me a newb I thought was starting to cross my lines after all that I've been through from this thread

Yeah, I just had two hours of baseball tryouts, and then I have another hour and a half in another hour

Exactly my thoughts, but in 939, the others couldn't oc as high as the 60, where as in am2 they all oc as high as the 62
