Trying to cheer up a bit and thought I would look for something to make me laugh. My department was downsized last week and now I am looking for work.I've been pouring over job boards and such .I needed some comic relief and I ran across a site that I thought was hilarious. http://www.virushead.net/jwhumor.html
I also got my hands on something that I'm not sure what to do with. Could one of the mods PM me please?

beware of the 'voice of strangers'.... .
...unless she has a sexy voice, her phone number starts with 1-900, and it costs you $4.00 a minute to talk to her .
seriously, has anyone every called '900' numbers or the like for umm, the entertainment value?
I haven't personally called these 900 numbers but a couple of my buddies have. When I got married I had some buddies stay at my place before the wedding. They called some of these numbers without me knowing and I ended up with the bill. I was a good dubbie a the time and was quite upset with them. I laugh about it now but I never did get the $60 they owed me.lol

just out of curiosity.... how many of you here have an intel processor in their computer.
how many have amd?
how many dont know what they are using?
Actually Intel is having a problem with heat in their new Prescott processors. The cpu's and the motherboards they are mounted run very hot. The Prescott's still use the S478 connection but there seems to be a heat issue with the current boards running this chip. Check it out at www.hardocp.com. (Performace of this chip is somewhat lacking as well)
I currently have three systems..Two running AMD cpu's(1700+ and an 800 Duron) along with my P4 3ghz system. Both Intel and AMD have their good and bad points as was previously mentioned. Working in computer repair I have seen a fair share of blown Intel and AMD cpu's. The main causes is that people tend to not look after their systems.They are usually clogged with dust(spider webs as well) which causes the system to generate alot of heat which can lead to component failure.
Performance wise the top of the heap (not including overclocked systems) would be the P4 Extreme Edition CPU's. They run as fast and faster in many tests as the AMD64 chips. They have 2megs on-die cache but the cost is high and are hard to find in my neck of the woods.

Specs
I build my own systems....I miss my old 486 DX2/66.....ahh...The memories.
Currently running ---Intel P4 3ghz 800fsb/512 megs Corsair DDR400 running in Dual Channel/Ati 9700 Pro vid....
Previous system was an AMD 2500 Barton running on a nice Asus(A7N8X DX rev.2) board....Worked great but got an awesome deal on the Intel gear and so switched. The AMD was great for overclocking and was very cheap to build. The processor costs about a $125 CDN and is a great bang for the buck.
Next system will probably be an AMD64 based system once the price drops....Lots of changes coming in computer technology this year and it gives me a good reason to upgrade...ie..BTX form factor/DDR2 and PCI Express.
Guess I'm a big geek eh?

i was fortunate enough to be able to preview the movie a week earlier than it's actual release.
my bf and i enjoyed it.. i hope you all do.
I must say I didn't enjoy the movie very much. There were a few "good parts" but the ending totally blew.
I am disappointed to say the least. My friend seemed to enjoy the movie though.
To each his/her own I guess.

i have often heard that a persons belief in god has helped them recover from a serious illness.
i have also heard jw's say god was punishing them for some wrong they have done.i think it's possible that the mind can play a part in the healing process.
belief in god may have an effect but i feel some people go way to far.. here's a link---http://www.msnbc.com/news/987695.asp?vts=110220032005.

my wife and i are re-doing our wills and it has led me to reflect alot on life.
in making a will you are basically preparing for death and setting your house in order so that there is no confusion afterwards and your loved ones are looked after.
i do plan on living to a ripe old age but in life things can happen and i could be dead tomorrow.
Thank you all for your considerate thoughts. I feel it is important to get my house in order. Even though my wife and I are fairly young we have to be prepared. If anything does happen our children will be fine financially. They will have a Trust with enough money for a University education and a home. The problem we are having now is deciding where our children will go if anything should happen. My wife and I do not agree on this matter and it is causing considerable strain. My wife's sister's are not stable enough in their lives to be a good choice. My wife talked to one of the elders and he said his family would take them if anything happened. I am not comfortable with that choice and I am not sure how to explain it to my wife.
I am a fader. My wife is a Dub although she is not as active as she used to be. I no longer carry the Blood card and I personally do not want a JW burial. I want to be cremated with my ashes scattered in the woods where I grew up. I only want a select few at my funeral and I don't want any mention of the Borg.
I have to say I have really found out who my friends and loved ones really are. JW's for the most part love conditionally. When the going gets tough or you don't share their beliefs anymore they scatter. It has made me realize how precious my family and friends are.
