Frankent0P!

Not the final destination, but this was a test run. Next step is to turn the laptop screen into a monitor. Then I can hide the franketop on the pull out drawer. Mount the screen on the back of my desk and have plenty of room on my desk

Pics to follow

Stefan, you got that all for $100???

He didn't say he is not eating carbs, he said he doesn't eat that many. The Standard American Diet (see what I did there) relies heavily on large amounts of bread, pasta, sugar filled drinks, etc... IIRC Stefan has cut those out of his diet and relies mostly of meat, vegetables, fruit and some dairy for his nutrition. All of those except for meat contain carbs, but it is much harder to ingest high levels of carbs without the items mentioned previously. Therefore more of his diet comes from fat and protein (which is great because your body can be very effective at using fat for fuel and protein is great for building muscle) and he also has enough carbs in his diet to maintain proper glycogen levels desired for athletic performance.

pisses me off that they lost to the only team A&M lost too and that we weren't the first to beat LSU. But I guess its good for A&M is that the team they lost too is now in the top 10 in the nation.

Photoshop bought by itself is $700

For a couple hundred bones It better be able to! I might see if I can get a discount through my university. I have some experience with Adobe products before... maybe the learning curve won't be so drastic. Before I graduate I'll be buying it. Only $700 for the entire master suite Eek. If your that serious about it, and don't mind being a pirate without an eye-patch, then I can find it somewhere online, and clean too. I can use the dummy win7 install on my laptop as a sandbox for potential virus shit. Considering the package is $2,600 normally and it's something that will be useful and relevant to me for the next 20 years I have not issues buying it.

im amazed by this. not that i would complain but what's the reasoning behind higher speed limits? to do more stuff faster!

You're lucky; here in Texas they start at 10% over. And you only get to remove one ticket from your record via defensive driving per year. And with deferred adjudication you can get an extra per year.

Just bought 4 more gbs of RAM for $18.50

I'm about to book a 2 night stay with Holiday Inn and with my Chase Rewards I will get at least $20 back. $10 off per night? Hells yeah!

Some vehicles have different levels of sodium, but because the way they trend compared to potassium is so different I don't see them being related. What's funny is about half our vehicles averaged 20-25 ppm sodium and the other half average 0-5 for all our tests. They all use the same oil and it random based on geographical location. I can't think of any reason they would so perfectly average 2 different levels Here is a graph for visualization...

Hey I wonder if you guys would have any technical knowledge to help me understand something in my oil analysis project. When looking at the concentration of Iron and Aluminum in our oil samples they trend the exact same way but at different magnitudes. So basically if you change the scale of the graphs they look exactly the same. This makes sense to me because of their abundance in an engine and they always wear a bit. What perplexes me is Potassium levels do the exact same thing. Our oil analysis company says that potassium could come from a protective coating on a new bearing but some of the trucks have over 80,000 miles. Is Potassium something that is commonly used in engines? BTW these are 12L diesel engines.

I am a bad bad person. I HATE waiting for my computer to think. I like it bleeding fast. So I say upgrade it. The other problem is I am super cheep in general. Then you would be even happier. Asus was nice enough to provide 1 4gb stick of a well known brand instead of 2x2gb of WTF?!?! They also made the ram SUPER accessible on the bottom.

Nice. I'd be surprised if my community college has anything, but I'll check. Thanks for reminding me, I need to hit up some seniors who may not use theirs and get another set of 3

I'm itching so bad to update my new laptop. Does it work perfectly??? yes, but there is that poor little unused RAM slot! What if it collects too much dust and I lose it forever!!! Matt2, you understand my pain... right?

You live in MN, why the hell would you not want 4wd? On top of that 38's with 2wd is flat out silly. I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure he means the vehicle is AWD now and after the Duramax upgrade he will convert it to 4x4 so the has the option to disengage the front axles for 2wd

Your doing it wrong My 6 year old device with Win7 runs like a champ. I'm sure it's slow at times for a multitude of reasons. Eats up more ram then really needed, and I only have 2gb IIRC. Been lazy about getting more. Oh and I never actually bought it, just downloaded a cracked version when it first came out, so I'm pretty sure I only have like half the updates, then stopped it so MS wouldn't shut it down. Every 20 minutes I get a popup mentioning my windows version isn't genuine, and I should buy it. Make sure you check with your new university. I got a win 7 upgrade cd that will work on 3 computers for $15

What sort of off roading do you do? i do quite a bit of off roading. i mud the crap out of it and when it comes to snow i usually take the ditches instead of the road. i like to drive down gravel roads through the ditches and jump some field approaches. some other guy commented about parking lots and pot holes, but i don't have this kind of truck just so i can drive it down the road. i like to play with my toys I really don't see the advantage to 40's over 38's for practical off road use. You gain about an inch of clearance, but lose a lot of power.
