ChainsawAsh, maybe you can use that saved money and donate it to Adywan. I'm not trying to tell you what to do with your money, but that is what you should do. jk

That's $2960 over the course of a year and you've been doing this for a little over 4 years? That's approximately $12000 wasted on Cigarettes!

I'm sold. How do I set-up a duel boot?

ChainsawAsh, I never would have guessed you were a smoker, shame on you. Wow, $70 a week?

I hate cigarettes, everytime I've tried one I feel like throwing up. $70 a week is $280 a month? That's ridiculous. Although smokers tend to replace cigarettes with food so you're probably thin and don't eat much?

Explain to me in specific details why Ubuntu is better than Windows 7?

TV Frink, is the blurry 2012 image suppose to imply 3D, or a greedier George more blurred by money?

And skyjedi2005, I never would have guessed you thought the prequels and special editions sucked.

I've never used Ubuntu, I'm interested in installing it on my desktop PC, but not my laptop. I don't want to risk screwing it up.

You didn't know this and you didn't know Stan Winston died?

Hang your head in shame!

Frink, I am currently in the process of figuring out how to post a good image of someone hanging their head in shame in response to that.

What are the rules of posting porn images? Can I post them as long as I censor the "private" areas?

I'm not interested in Ubuntu. You all already know how much I love macs ;-). What do you think of my laptop? Do you think I got a good buy, remember I bought it when it came with a free webcam valued at $150? Where can I find a free version of Windows XP to install?

What hardware in a laptop do you recommend for a good gaming laptop? I already I asked this.

The Sarah Connor Chronicles was canceled? I watch it a few times during its first season, but quickly lost interest. I'm not sure if I just forgot about it or didn't care. I thought it was kind of good though.

I found Terminator 3 pretty funny, I didn't take it seriously as a continuation of the story, but for what it was it was entertaining enough. I didn't bother seeing Terminator 4, just didn't care enough.

No I'm not planning on gaming, that's why I got it. But even if I did game, are laptops very good for gaming? I think they get too hot for gaming. It is intended just for internet browsing, school work, and watching videos. I kinda wish I just would have shelled out another $200 so I could get an i5 model with a dedicated Nvidia card. I got this particular model because it came with a free web cam. I was playing around with it for awhile longer, it is not as slow as I thought. It has a lot of bloatware on it. People are telling me to reinstall the OS, but it didn't come with disks. I have to download and burn them. Can you install Windows 7 without a disk? I think I'm just going to leave it. Newegg only accepts replacements on opened laptops. I think I like Windows XP better, Windows 7 tries to be more innovative but I liked the simplicity of XP, SP3.

I love that image Sluggo!

Okay so I just got this Laptop: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834214040

and I find out that even though it is a lot better than my old desktop PC in terms of hardware in my old system:

Windows XP Media Center Edition SP3
AMD 3700+ 2.2 Ghz
Asus A8N Sli Premium
XFX 7800 GT 400 MHz
2 GB Corsair XMS RAM
250 GB 7200rpm Seagate Drive
600 Watt Seasonic Power Supply

It turns out that it is slow as hell. I don't know if it is the WIFI connection or the 5400rpm hard drive? It's just slow and somewhat unresponsive. I really wish I would have gotten a 7200rpm hard drive laptop the only problem is they are hard to find and usually when I find them it turns out that they were wrongfully advertised as 7200rpm. So I got one that is the typical 5400rpm hoping it wouldn't make a difference. Well it does and I'm pissed!

Another thing I was trying to do is bridge my internet connection from my desktop PC to my laptop using Ethernet. My router is currently using all the wired ports and I don't have an Ethernet cable long enough to reach it. I want to do this to see if the WIFI is what is slowing me down. My Desktop PC has two Ethernet ports and I plugged the second Ethernet port (first one being used for internet of course) into my laptop hoping to get internet connection through my desktop PC. I fiddled around with the network connection settings on both my desktop PC and laptop but I couldn't get it to work. So I'm looking around at laptops and I see really cheap ones that have 7200rpm:

I'm thinking, damn, I should have done more research. I saw high end gaming laptops over $1000 that have 5400rpm hard drives. Are there really low end laptops running at 7200rpm or is this wrong information?

Here's another one, I don't know whether to call this a word or an image:

I'm posting this in the Off Topic forum so we can have a little more fun with this.

I wish I could post an image of what I think of them, but it's not working so I will just use a word:

TRAINWRECK!

LOL!!!

Where is that fund wise guy?

How do you make those GIF images TV Frink, do you just google search them or do you make them yourself with youtube videos etc?

there, I removed it

Count Dooku was the most pointless character in the history of cinema.

I don't care about any of this EU stuff. I just like the movies. I found those Clone Wars Cartoons on Cartoon Network to be good and it seemed like GL was relying on us fans to watch that before episode III in order for the first sequence of the movie to make sense to the audience.

The Boost said:

"Before I was married I was a consummate ladies man AND managed to watch "Star Wars" all the time!"

I was picking up a little bit of sarcasm there.

I want honesty here

Adywan sent me an email saying the same thing, why I got him into this and why I exposed a private email.

I don't really see a need to remove the email, do you want me to Adywan? It's just technical discussion. It's not like I'm posting an email about what you do in the bedroom.

LOL! I wonder if that's what Adywan will look like when he's done with all the films?

Stan Winston died? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had no idea. I'll go look that up...

I've been reading through the comments in the petition and these two struck me as ironic:

"Seamless branching has been around for years, George. Use it!"

It's funny how George Lucas likes to think he is so innovative and cutting edge in one area, but so stubborn and old fashioned in another way.

"C'mon george ??!! dont you need more money ??"

I truly believe he will earn more money with both versions included in equal quality.

"Bring back the original Star Wars. Not Episode IV A New Hope."

Haha

"I don't want to have a bad feeling about this... originals, please..."

Clever

"Sometimes, it's just not worth it to see Han shoot first, or to see some retarded worm sticking out of the Sarlaac pit. Sometimes you just want it as you remember.

And let's face it, it's not like you won't make money off of this. AGAIN."

I like this guy

" Star Wars is a part of our culture. Although our culture is continually changing, it's history should not. I applaud the effort to improve the Star Wars universe as new technology is available, but just because something new comes along does not mean we should throw away how we got there. Please allow us to not only see the original and new versions of ALL of the Star Wars movies, but all the steps in between so we can have a full appreciation of the journey from star to finish."

Very well said

Wow, I didn't realize how many people visit this site, looks like thousands, I thought it was just hundreds visit this site.
