  1. Oh I know which is why I stuck with my CRT till the end. I was very sad when my CRT started dying because I knew I would have to get an LCD.
  2. Indeed, the color is phenomenal. However, the was another monitor that I saw that had more vibrant color but it was a glossy screen Gateway with much less viewing angle. This monitor cost me $583 including tax. Online and many stores sell it for $600 but Best Buy had it for $540. I wouldn't want to watch TV on this but I will watch movies! I have a 27" standard def TV for that. And yes it is a 24" widescreen. I was afraid it wouldn't fit in my workstation. It actually doesn't fit properly inside the monitor area but I have the screen outside of that area with part of the base off the pedestal. :/
  3. Hmm...very nice pics. I fear for her life. Anonymous are not to be trifled with.
  4. I wish your friend best of luck and a speedy recovery. Also, congrats on your new PC.
  5. Hope you had a great 2007 and I wish everyone a prosperous 2008!
  6. I haven't had a new monitor in many years so I decided it was time I move into the 21st century and leave back CRT and get with the LCD program. My old monitor was an awesome Trinitron P991 18" viewable. My new monitor is an LG L246WP-BN 24" P-MVA panel. Pics are a bit large (about 1 mb) because I didn't feel like shrinking them down. They are also blurry and crappy quality since I do not have steady hands and my camera sucks. Here is my old monitor in my work space: http://freshyk.com/pics/newmonitor/IMG_0558.jpg Here is the new monitor after installation when the proper resolution wasn't set yet: http://freshyk.com/pics/newmonitor/IMG_0559.jpg Here it is when the drivers were installed and the recommended resolution (1920x1200) was used: http://freshyk.com/pics/newmonitor/IMG_0560.jpg Since this is an emulation site I had to show something emulated. Here I am trying out SF3: http://freshyk.com/pics/newmonitor/IMG_0561.jpg And this is what the 1emulation.com front page looks like on this monitor: http://freshyk.com/pics/newmonitor/IMG_0565.jpg I waited a damn long time to switch to LCD but when I saw this monitor at Fry's I was stunned. It looked so much better than any of the other monitors on display. Yay me.
  7. I saw it last night with my parents. If you like totally unrealistic but fun kiddie type adventure movies then it's hard to pass it up. I enjoyed the first one and I enjoyed the second one as well. Also, Helen Mirren is pretty hot for her age.
  8. Excellent post Belthasar. I think it covers pretty much everything of what goes on on an Internet forum.
  9. Why the long face? Because my timing is so much slower than Rawrs and IW.
  10. The only harddrive eraser I know of is Dban. I don't know if that fits the specifications you want. I don't know about a single file deleter though.
  11. If you guys can't discuss this in a civil manner then you will be warned and the topic will be closed. Music discussions can become very heated so don't get carried away.
  12. I tear up sometimes during movies. That guy was a closet homosexual who has been repressing his feelings for too long. It's only a matter of time till he anally rapes some dude.
  13. I should have posted this earlier but Steam is having a 10%-50% of sale on pretty much the entire catalog. Some good discounts are The Orange Box for $38, id Anthology for $53, and S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl for $22. The sale ends on Jan. 1.
  14. It wasn't always like this. :/ Hopefully some changes will be coming.
  15. Stop caring what other peoples' response to your likes and dislikes are. In this case you are censoring yourself out of fear and not wanting to have to deal with antagonizing posts. flock em! You like hip hop? Awesome! Post it and don't give a rats ass what other people think of you and your tastes. Don't be meek. Or at least that's what I think. But, in the case of that thread (still not exactly sure why it was closed, I always miss out on the action), I think people should be free to discuss each others' tastes and whether or not if they are too close to each other. Your likes don't have to be diverse or too focused.
  16. Here is a cool pic of the Joker.
  17. I wish. I weigh around 160 something and dress like a regular person. Goddamit, that reminds me to look for my Stop Making Sense CD.
  18. The point of the Lounge is that it is a place for uncatergorized topics. I don't like forums that have categories for everything. At least it's not really important at our size. However, such a system would not be effective in a place like SA so separation per topic is very important.
  19. I'll join in but I don't know my weight and I don't have a scale.
