Is this resolved? If not: If you're running wireless try plugging in a cable, disable your wireless card on the computer, and see if it still happens. I had this happen on my wireless card. Unfortunately getting a new one didn't fix it, nor did getting a new motherboard (upgrade, not troubleshooting). Probably something on my router but I'm wired in for now.

I agree with Goodwin, I like ATI on principle but I've found that Nvidias always seem smoother. And now that ATI pulled this jacked up naming scheme scam, I'm switching back. Now the real question: If my (crappy) 4670 is doing ok at low-medium settings, do I spend my money on a new card or an ASUS Transformer Prime?

If this isn't solved yet: I don't fully understand what you're seeing, can you screenshot it or give a little more info? Thanks!

You might also check that the chipset drivers for the laptop are up to date. What model of laptop is it?

I'm pretty sure you that's a quote straight from the addict handbook. No one likes to hear this and fewer people even listen to it but you should really find something else to relieve your stress. Exercise is (mostly) free and gives you more energy. And you'll feel better about yourself too, especially if there's some kind of race coming up that you can work towards. Financially, a can of dip a week is ~$5? So that's $260 a year. That's a lot of beer money! I smoked for about four years, quitting was a real bitch. There's never a good time to stop, and there's never a good reason to start.

Can you be the Sith in this one?

Ok, I reread and realized the second quote is clearly my favorite, but I think the first one is a very interesting truth about people.

I'd have to side with Pang. It's a nice speech but it's very naive. America does more good than anyone gives it credit for, doesn't mean we can do whatever bad we want but it does mean we're not devils if we do make a poor choice. And the IVAW guy is mad about the war, that's fine but i disagree with him about there being any element of racism. There are plenty of good reasons to be against the Iraq war (in my opinion) but I don't agree with his at all. At least the first minute, I couldn't really sit through any more of that. Hell my arguments against the war are financial, gain vs expense. I think we had something in Afg but we lost it when we started focusing on Iraq. And now we're a trillion in, not accounting for what will be spent for the next 60 years on the people maimed in the war. What do we have to show for our investment? What would we get if we don't pull out besides another trillion in debt? There are plenty of good reasons to go to war. Humans don't all want good for each other. That's just not human nature. And when someone rises to power by taking it from others, they'll do it on the global stage too. And they have to be stopped to keep us all free. My favorite line from the Declaration of Independence is "Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed." Followed by: "But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security." And it's the same with war. It should never be enjoined lightly, but when it is clear that it must happen, men must stand up and fight. America!

Looks great!

Colt AR15 with a Solid red reticule scope. Backup: Full frame .357; though a 1911 works well here too.

I hate Starbuck's coffee because they brew it into acid. But their Yukon blend is fantastic if you buy it whole bean and do the rest yourself. Downside = it's only available in Canada. I buy two pounds every time I'm up there. Canada FTW. I drink it black.

Fastfood Burger - Smashburger, any time I travel I try to find one for lunch. Guacamole and fresh jalapeno slices (not pickled) on a burger = best burger ever. Definitely get the fries. Burrito - Freebird, fantastic little place I first ate at in Austin, but I think they are expanding. Hotel: Kimpton Hotels used to offer a great mil discount and have fantastic restaurants in them. But they don't have a lot of rooms for government rate anymore so you have to book early out. Always in downtown, in many major cities.

I'm a few days into a trial and looking at playing it for a while. Anyone else into it?

Either it won't pass or somewhere along the line it will get struck down as unconstitutional. I mean, you're going to try and sue Google for not censoring their search results? I pity the fool.
