<0> how much can new countertops really cost
<1> I imagine those could get pretty expensive
<0> scam
<1> Well
<1> They've got to be a single solid unit
<2> countertops are expensive
<2> for a custom laminate for my 10x10 it was about a grand...
<2> solid started in around 3.2k
<0> i don't want to spend more than 80K to improve the place
<2> peter: you don't have to go crazy... you can redo the kitchen for dirt if you wanna go really cheap stuff
<0> new kitchen, new deck, new carpets in the basement, some professional painting
<1> Do it yourself so you can have a little pride in it
<0> as my family room would be hard to paint
<0> it would require scaffolding
<2> vaulted?
<0> yeah
<2> nice
<2> i'm just in a lil rancher, a bit over 1k sqft
<1> Scaffolding?
<1> What the hell?
<1> Habla "ladder"?
<2> painting on a ladder...
<2> that would be no fun
<2> hehe
<0> no fun and literally days extra work heh
<1> Well, how about setting up scaffolding in your family room
<0> that and there's a big ceiling fan
<1> Those actually come out
<0> pfft
<0> easier to pay
<0> part of that 80K can go to a new 70"+ tv
<0> w00t
<1> Khan = Mort
<1> The more you save, the better the telly
<0> it would go great in the basement
<1> Set the wife loose to shop for high quality cheap material
<0> i have a huge wall where my 54" tv is
<0> it looks pathetic
<1> And you could get one of those four section ladders
<1> Toss a plank on it and instant "scaffolding"
<2> peter: 1080p right?
<0> yeah
<0> my current one is only 1080i =(
<0> doesn't even do 720p
<0> first generation hd
<2> :(
<2> I have a 65" 1080i CRT, and a 42" Samsung Plasma
<0> though, 1080i looks fantastic when the source is hd
<2> my 65" is downstairs and downstairs is ripped up
<2> so no use :( tis killing me
<2> I need to finish my basement one of these days
<2> course my car just took a **** on me
<2> so there is like $600 down the tubes
<0> doh
<0> yeah, i'm driving a junker right now
<0> i don't want to buy a new car on top of other **** heh
<2> I really could care less about my car
<2> it gets me from A to B
<2> as long as it does that i'm ok
<2> house > bike > car
<2> bike is atleast fun
<2> peter: I just bought myself a new pc tho :) freaky crazy fast
<0> nice
<0> wife won't let me buy toys
<2> 2gb of ram, Athlon X2 4200+ Oc'ed to 2.625ghz (a 4800+ is clocked at 2.6ghz for reference), X1900XT 512Mb, 10k Raptor 74gb
<0> price?
<2> about $1500 I think
<2> not bad at all really
<0> very nice
<2> i'm very hpapy with it
<0> i'll likely upgrade once i get pissed at running games at crap resolutions
<2> I can run most games at 1600x1200 with 2xaa
<2> no perf problems at all
<3> nice box.
<2> I was playing UT2004 at 1600x1200 at 4xaa, and the fps never dropped below 85 (V-sync)
<3> that the only HD?
<0> i run bf2 at 1600x1200 on my gf6800u with most things on high without issue, so that's enough fro me
<0> and WoW will run on a voodoo 1 heh
<2> I dunno why I even need this kinda machine, I rarely play games
<2> but I can play games really quick now
<2> :p
<0> heh
<0> i would like a new macbook pro
<2> just broke up with GF, so that'll give me more time
<0> though i still like this laptop
<2> but its summer, so i'll be riding as much as I can
<0> doh, that ****s
<3> I think my next setup is going to revolve around multiple monitors at high resolution
<0> hopefully you got a breakup screw out of it
<2> oh well, I got a post partum 'screw' out of it last night (its been like a week/half)...
<2> I think she's really pissed off now tho, I think she wants to get back together and I don't
<2> guess its a bad idea to sleep with your Ex ;-/
<0> indeed
<3> never a bad idea to sleep with her, just a bad idea to sleep with her and have her think it means somehting
<3> Isn't thre a higher capacity Raptor out now?
<3> 150GB possibly?
<2> yea
<2> but the cost is really $$$
<3> ah.
<3> wow, I only have 4gb left on my one hard drive
<1> What do the extra 25 mhz do that the first 2,600 don't
<0> that's a stupid question
<3> what about an extra 50, or 75, or 100, 1000?
<1> Haha
<0> homemade goat porn
<1> Well
<3> where do you draw the line? What is rellevant?
<2> they provide 25 million extra clocks per second JB
<2> at one point 25mhz was a fast processor
<2> hehe
<1> An extra 1000 would be 38% more processor
<1> The extra 25 is less than 1%
<0> YOU HAVE FALLEN INTO THE MEGAHERTZ MYTH
<0> a 733 G3 is far faster
<3> not really
<3> its far slower.
<0> negative
<0> it's 4x faster
<0> *
<3> in real world performance?
<2> a 733G3 is 4x faster then what?
<3> nope.
<3> not even in synthetic
<3> not even close
<0> apparently none of you are familiar with apple marketing
<1> Haha
<2> apple is using intel now
<2> so
<2> whatever
<2> hehe
<3> not even a 2Gh G5 is on par afaik.
<0> yeah, and now they're claiming the duo is 4x faster than their g4s
<0> haha
<2> lol
<0> MEGAHERTZ MYTH BABY
<2> are you kidding me peter?
<3> no, there is no megahertz myth when you compare apples to apples
<2> i've not paid any attention to the new apple marketing
<3> e.g. a 4200+ @ A speed vs the same CPU at B speed.
<0> i meant to do "it's 4x faster*"
<0> but i hit enter too soon
<0> their * always said "* when performing some small photoshop plugin"
<3> Not even 4 times faster in photoshop than any top of the line Intel or AMD cpu.
<0> if microsoft pulled half the **** apple marketing does, slashdot would reem them a quadrillith ***hole
<3> Well, they lied when they said they had the first 64bit capable desktop cpu too
<3> or were at least ridiculously misleading
<0> well, they did have NT running on 64-bit alphas
<0> so they win!
<0> yeah, apple pulls **** like that
<0> and people forgive them because they're not microsoft
<0> not that i'm a fan of microsoft marketing
