A shepherd was herding his flock in a remote pasture when suddenly a brand-new BMW advanced out of a dust cloud towards him. The driver, a young man in a Prada suit, Gucci shoes, Dior sunglasses and D+G tie, leans out the window and asks the shepherd,
“If I tell you exactly how many sheep you have in your flock, will you give me one?”
The shepherd looks at the man, obviously a yuppie, then looks at his peacefully grazing flock and calmly answers: “Sure. Why not?”
The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell notebook computer, connects it to his Vodafone cell phone, surfs to a NASA page on the internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite navigation system to get an exact fix on his location which he then feeds to another NASA satellite that scans the area in an ultra-high-resolution photo. The young man then opens the digital photo in Adobe Photoshop and exports it to an image processing facility in Hamburg , Germany .
Within seconds, he receives an e-mail on his Palm Pilot that the image has been processed and the data stored. He then accesses a MS-SQL database through an ODBC connected Excel spreadsheet with hundreds of complex formulae. He uploads all of this data via an email on his Blackberry and, after a few minutes, receives a response. Finally, he prints out a full-colour, 150-page report on his hi-tech, miniaturised HP LaserJet printer, turns to the shepherd and says:
“You have exactly 1,586 sheep.”
“That’s right. Well, I guess you can take one of my sheep,” says the shepherd.
He watches the young man select one of the animals and looks on amused as the young man stuffs it into the boot of his car. Then the shepherd says to the young man
“Hey, if I can tell you exactly what your business is, will you give me back my sheep?”
The young man thinks about it for a second and then says:
“Okay, why not?”
“You’re a consultant” says the shepherd.
“Wow! That’s correct,” says the yuppie. “But how did you guess that?”
“No guessing required,” answers the shepherd. “You showed up here even though nobody called you, you want to get paid for an answer I already knew, to a question I never asked, and you know sod-all about my business. Now give me back my dog.”

ahh gotcha, i'll wake up at somepoint this morning.
I swap bits around every few months so life expectancy isnt really an issue.
do it in your bios, i hate having programs running in bg that i dont need. jump up in 100 mhz increments. if it starts shitting out on you then do it in 50mhz steps
ive punished my q9450 to run at 3.6 as opposed to its weaksauce 2.66ghz. it hates priming but is stable for a 24/7 OC
yes you should, Q6600 quads are made for it. you should be able to get it to 3gig easy depending on cooling and the rest of your setup.
i couldnt agree more, sometimes its better when the good guy doesnt get the girl/win/dies
saving private ryan/the mist/event horizen etc etc you get my drift
and there was me thinking it looped forever
whats awesome is im trying to fill in an important form online, and I cant terminate the service, ah well at least its not a bad tune.
its difficult to find games which can be fraps'd easily and have replays 
when i have a nuclear powered pc i'll fraps me beating crysis using only fists, until then

I take reviews with a pinch of salt, instead i go from the overal impression of several hours reading/researching.
something id like to share
I'm a big fan of skill vids, watching someone do something they enjoy with a high level of skill entertains me.
I've been watching my way through the LFS video section and id like to share some of my own vids, however i wont post them there as they're not from LFS (yet)
i take my gaming seriously so theres a mix of everything in there.
Enjoy
