Nvidia GTX 460

Sun, 13 Feb 2011 18:00:11 -0500

I’ve found my new graphics card. I’m getting a new card to go with the new monitor as there a few games coming out this spring, and I’d like to be able to play at the 1920x1080 resolution the new monitor will want to run at. PC graphics cards are tricky. You can spend upwards of 5-600 bucks for the high end stuff, but it’s not needed. I’ve discovered over the years that a 150 bucks is all you need to spend to get the most bang for your buck. You just have to know what you are looking for and do your research.

Opera

Opera:

Looks like I’m switching to Opera as my browser. I’ve just been having way too many problems with Firefox lately. It’s still corrupting some of my downloads after a fresh install as well as not saving some cookies. The cookie problem is really annoying as there doesn’t seem to be the same privacy settings in the options box and it’s only not saving certain sites. I know it’s Firefox because IE and Chrome are fine. I don’t like Chrome because I don’t think Google is the same company they used to be, in other words, I don’t trust them to have my best interests at heart.

Denard is staying!

Well, Hoke appears to be off to a good start as Dave Brandon has stated that Denard has agreed to stay at Michigan. Denard hasn’t yet confirmed this statement, but it would be very good start by Hoke.

Manball here we come!

Thu, 13 Jan 2011 21:45:06 -0500

My thoughts on the Hoke hire at Michigan can be summed up with the single statement, “Manball here we come.” I hope that isn’t what happens, but some of his recent remarks regarding the spread offense leads me to believe that is going to happen. While there is some comfort in going back to knowing you’ll be in a bowl game every year, it’s hard to get excited about the prospect of being good, but not good enough to beat Jim Tressel. I hope I’m wrong, I hope Brian Cook is wrong, I hope the internet is wrong. Time will tell, here is to hoping the new guy turns out to be a hidden gem.

Ignorance is bliss, or is it?

Humans love their cars, and you can put your fingers in your ears and shout, “la,la,la,la,” all you want, but that won’t change reality. It’s not just cars, it’s our entire way of life. You cannot take something that was removed from the environment millions of years ago and put it back into the environment and expect nothing to happen. Ask yourself this, “What exactly was the Earth like before all that co2 was sequestered away?” We don’t like to think in those terms because we won’t be around, but we are being irresponsible to future generations by purposefully ignoring the obvious (well, some of us are ignoring the obvious).

Syfy Closes Stargate Universe - TV.com:

Fuck you SyFy, or should I say NBC/Universal. Just continuing the trend of being fucking dickheads. Let’s just hope SyFy’s NBC overlords won’t prevent them from wrapping up the storyline with a movie like they usually do when they cancel a series prematurely.
