Did you say that biggie smalls is the illest? Lulz. Great mashup. Serial Podcast Theme & The Notorious B.I.G. Mashu…:

They are kind of pretty.

That's the truth Neal!

It doesn't pass my sniff test, and didn't pass the box of truth either.

Led by Ted Nugent riding an eagle like Gandalf, but instead of a staff he has a Barrett 50 in one hand and a chain fed grenade launcher in the other? That's how I'm picturing it.

That must be a serious threat. I know the for The Interview the hackers grabbed a bunch of Sony secrets that they would let out.

Paramount? Isn't it Sony?

I heard you can't visit for tourism though..... Needs to be a specific reason.

I had a few true Monte Cubans in Italy. They were very nice. Unfortunately the Montes I have snagged in the States have all been boring. I don't see myself investing in many more. Sadly, I don't dig wine. It's so far from wine it might suprise you. It's heated and fortified. Possibly worth a try.

Monte Cristo is ok. Depends on what one you smoke. If you want a really wild ride, find an extremely mild, but full to mostly full ligaro cigar. And then have it with a Madeira wine. That is one of my absolute favorite joys. The cigar has to be extremely full bodied and it's best to not go cheep on the Madeira.

Hence multiple posts to reply to a single post...This shows impulsivity control issues to me. Very quick to type a quick reply before thinking out everything one wishes to say.I struggle with this myself in my day to day life, as does my oldest. I wish I was more impulsive.... Or had traits to that effect.My process, as Sean noted to be thorough, is laborious and super drawn out. At a frantic pace

Tried to work in a mile on the eleptical and make smoothies for breakfast and lunch. Gonna be just in time now..... YIKES!

I'm almost as euphoric as the feeling on a several day fasting.

Going to take my time trimming the beard and showering up. Today is the first day of the rest of my life. Super positive attitude today. Hope it holds as I crash.

I'm not seeing my family for Christmas this year due to work timing, etc.... So instead we filled the toys for tots bin at my work. Art supplies and 4 huge stuffed animal type things. Toys for tots is such a cool charity. I am greedy though. I wish I could be there when the kids get them.

thorough...Oh look, sparkly things!

Sinus infection has had me out, and I couldn't fall asleep. I have had a ton of depression/anxiety the past week and a half so I had some coffee, sat down in front of the PC to play some games. I grabbed a dumbbell too. I'm on my 11th set to failure for curls with some tricep extensions. 30 pounds never felt so heavy. Got in arm day and turned my brain off. After my meeting and trip to the stores today, I will sleep like a baby. I started working on my resume but my head is still too full of goo, so shooting at digital bad guys had to be good enough. I forgot how well I can relax when gaming.

Convo with my retirement guy was wild. I didn't think we were that well off. If I can increase our contributions just a hair we should be really well set. That doesn't include any pay raises and I expect next year I will make 10k more if I don't have a major promotion. Wife will have her first "real" raise too. She is no longer in her contract to pay back the investment on her certification... So that means a significant chance for a significant raise. Thank god because student loans will start in 2016 I think. Here is to a second mortgage!

I love HID, but I wish they were warmer. Even the BMW lamps are a bit blue. Not as bad as most, but just a touch.

Maybe more as I'm indecisive.

I am merely lieutenant commander overkill, but I feel I suffer as much. :-(

I'm running OCZ SSD and they had a horrible run at one point. The lowest fail rate storage period out there are the Intel SSDs from what I can see. They have some power cycling protection that helps stop the data loss that can happen when read write is going on durring a power down.

http://www.computerworld.com/article/2484998/solid-state-drives/ssds-do-die--as-linus-torvalds-just-discovered.html SSD AT 1.5% failure vs 5% for HHD. Concludes with the statement SSD is still much more reliable.

Why are you not sold on SSD? Is it because of Sean's bad luck? In theory the 8GB should be plenty for a OS and a couple programs, but I can say I have no idea of the Read/Write speeds of the hybrid SSD. In terms of a HDD a 5400rpm is a bit slow, but pleyny usable.PS - Just checked my HDD (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148371) which ironically cost more for something that is half the drive (at best) as what you proposed and has worked just fine for me. Not just Sean's bad luck. I know of numerous premature failures. When you consider the ratio of SSDs to traditional platter HDDs out there, the percentage of failures is tremendous comparatively. I have far too much info on my drives that are terribly important to me to take that chance. Unfortunately the failed drive had a ton of info I cannot recover. Some of the information were case study information, captures, videos, and PP presentations that have cost me a lot of income... not only that, but the information lost are references I saved that I may never be able to recover. This drive is only the second failure I have ever had, and this one was from physical impact... not really a drive issue. I have no one to blame but myself for this loss. I also have some old externals that are 7 years old and still function.Time for more backups. SSD has a much lower failure rate than HDD in consumer products. Like crazy less. Order of magnitude maybe. This is taken up in fall related deaths, and climate changes in laptops. In enterprise servers that changes.Even so, it's no more than 1% or so in the applications I have access to. That's mostly university and small server data. SSD also makes up for the cost difference in power savings and cooler running. The most common failures are related to firmware death, or the SSD being old. If you have a 5 year old drive of any kind you are kind of on borrowed time already. In every system we have built with an SSD I have never seen a complete fail. We have in HDD after months of operation though. Either way most failures on either side are firmware related. I just had to completely wipe my machine as Windows lost itself on a BIOS update. Stupid fucking error durring start up. Even then I was able to image the RAID and get all the data back. I had to move up to Windows 8.1 though. Lost the 7 CD key somewhere..... What? You are reading Samsung releases, not real ones. Per GB stored SSD's have WAY higher failure rates.Per GB sure. Per drive, nah. When you consider that most SSDs are MUCH smaller than their platter counterparts your second statement doesn't hold water. Per capita perhaps a better wording? Seriously, they are 1% away from the same likely hood of drives failing. In the big servers at least. In laptop and most other situations they fail way way way less. Vibration doesn't do much to them. Platters are fucked when they vibrate too much too long. They are both affected less by heat and create less heat.
