If you're in the market for new hard drives I would suggest waiting it out. Seems flooding in Thailand has caused major shortages in them. http://www.techspot.com/news/46128-flooding-causes-spike-in-hdd-prices-asus-might-run-out-this-month.html I actually was wondering what was up the other day. I was looking for two 2TB drives and couldn't find them anywhere for less than 140 bucks. Luckily came across a deal at best buy for 75 each. The prices I'm seeing for most have nearly doubled. I wouldn't be surprised if it effects the costs of laptops and prebuilt pcs.

New insight into the early life of Barack Obama has been recently made available in the form of excerpts from the forthcoming biography, “Barack Obama: The Story.” Apparently young Barry Obama, like countless of his contemporaries, enjoyed partaking in the use of marijuana. The president even was a trendsetter amongst his peers: As a member of the Choom Gang, Barry Obama was known for starting a few pot-smoking trends. The first was called “TA,” short for “total absorption.” Along with TA, Barry popularized the concept of “roof hits”: when they were chooming in the car all the windows had to be rolled up so no smoke blew out and went to waste; when the pot was gone, the…

Wow..... I don't think I can agree with this. As much as I liked the Harry Potter series and can admit Voldemort is pretty badass, I don't think anyone tops Vader. One thing I DO have to admit though is that Voldemort definitely gets props for killing that retarded Robert Pattinson.

So last semester for CompSci I had to program the classic boardgame, Battleship. Pretty basic and nothing too complicated since it only had to be played by users and no AI components. Well out of boredom today, I started making an AI algorithm so a player could play against the computer. Six hours later, the AI structure is complete and ready to be tested. Turns out the human player only has 0.27% chance of winning against the computer. My AI is too smart, fail.

Ok after this thread, I'll make a 'Bogey's Beat thread' and start a compilation of beats I've made. Three's the charm though, right? Anyways, this beat I made is much "darker" and more depressing, but that was my intent. Thanks for listening guys and as always, I'm open for feedback for improvement. http://www.mediafire.com/?zoaw2zum0jn

I just looped the main pattern over a few times. I'm working on adding more complex string patterns to it, but here it is so far. Any opinions would be great again! http://www.mediafire.com/?wo4yiqnwyun

So as some of you may or may not have read in some other thread, I purchased FL Studio 9 the other day, which is an audio engineering program. So here's my first beat that was inspired by another song just so I could learn the tools and such of the program before I made anything too fancy. The beat is only 1:30 and then loops after that so I only went to the part before it loops. Any feedback would be appreciated. It's an MP3 file just as an FYI. http://www.mediafire.com/?dmkoduxtuwz Edit: And if anyone wants the .flp, just ask.

A 12-year-old boy is being praised for his courage after confronting a police officer who parked his motorcycle on a sidewalk. The boy, whose name is Jeremy, confronted the Las Vegas Metro officer who had parked illegally on the sidewalk while he went to buy a soda at a 7-Eleven store. During the conversation, which was captured on video, Jeremy asks the officer why he chose to park on the sidewalk and if he had an emergency reason to do so, prompting the officer to reply, "Because I can." The boy then asks the officer for his badge number, but the officer refuses. The officer then accused Jeremy of loitering before driving away. http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news…

Mandy and I somehow ended up making horrible Mario sketchings in IM, so of course I had to photoshop them into something. And here is the (horrifying) result XD: We pretty much each made about half of the objects, but I made the crack addict Mario and Mandy made the fat Luigi.

Awesome. Would have been cool as a kid to play in one of these, although the likelihood of you busting your head open or toppling the whole thing over while swinging on that gnarly speeder bike are probably exponential. LOL

so a few weeks ago i was playing WoW (i know go figure) with one of my friends. they mentioned that they were going to be getting an xbox for her birthday. so last monday she got it and i was asking her if she was signing up for xbox live, but she couldnt cause she didnt have a harddrive or memory card to do so. i was thinking about it later on and saw my old harddrive just sitting there doing nothing. so i ended up sending it to her because i didnt need it and it's always fun to play on live with people i raid with. so about a week later i got this in the mail today i didnt know they were coming, but i thought it was pretty awesome of her. the picture is kinda blurry c…

All the likes are other bots, it's quite amusing and sad. I couldn't stop laughing at the last two...

So I was tabbing through the news articles on yahoo's front page because, well ill be honest, I like to find the ones with pictures and see cool stuff or occasionally come across something that is just bizarre or different. anyway, i clicked on one about 11 ridiculous petitions that people have started, now there is one to build the death star for real a long with a handful of others that made me chuckle. But holy crap there is an actual petition to get a statue of Master Chief made and placed on the White House lawn. It has less than 2 weeks to go, and needs way to man signatures for it to pass but damn. https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/build-statue-master-chie…

Just wondering how the people on gamercide start their day food wise, probably because I'm starving at the moment but i thought you guys would be up for the challenge of surprising me. As for myself, my favorite would have to be a big platter(small meals don't cut it in the morning for me) of french toast, waffles with strawberries loads of syrup, regular toast with an assortment of jellies and jams, eggs, mostly scrambled but some sunny-side up for spilling all over my place and swabbing up, BACON LOTS OF IT, and something i can slather in bbq sauce. *edit: Oh yeah and lots of seasoned hashbrowns and for everyday... well put simply I'm like an effing horse, get me a big…

So yeah, I still think Twitter is lame, but I've made an account (hypocrite), mostly so I can get more points for the Bioware Bazaar Auction going on, but I'll also use it to follow some stuff like my favorite fansubbing sites (like Taka Fansubs). And the Bioware Bazaar Auction is freaking insane, how do they expect anyone to win anything? The top bid on everything seems to be literally over 9000 points, and I have only about 6000. And that's just stuff like an N7 Hoodie. No way in hell I'd be able to bid for the Laptop or PC. I'll be lucky if I can get a away with just a cool shirt or postcard. The hoodie did look sweet, just like the avatar's N7 hoodie. So anyone who ha…

Seems like it'd be great for a party, and no brain splattering involved! Would you play?

I found these tights. They've got hearts on the knees. Yeah, you know what my first thought was. Buy them here,ladies!
