Hey, if Cliff Lee makes it look as easy as he did in game 1...

then maybe the Phillies can put off the loss until next game.

Let me write out a formal proof for you.

by justin007000 on Nov 2, 2009 11:44 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs

Yeah, that's what I do

I started out building my own computers, figuring I could get exactly what I wanted, and also upgrade as needed.

But having a custom system means if you ever have any problems with hardware or software, you’re on your own. Tech support can’t deal with it.

And these days, computers are so cheap that it doesn’t save that much money to upgrade piece by piece like I did my first computer. (I ended up replacing everything, including the motherboard, one part at a time.)

Now, I usually buy a Dell, choosing the second-best options for everything. That’s usually the “sweet spot” of price vs. performance. Though sometimes, I choose the cheapest options and upgrade. Last time, I replaced the graphics card, added a second hard drive, and added extra USB and Firewire ports before I even turned it on.

i like to buy a machine for about $1000

and then add on the longest extended warranty, (I’ve had too many systems fail after a year or 2), so then I don’t have to spend any money on my computer.

I usually spend more than twice that

But don’t spend anything on the warranty. Consumer Reports says those things are a ripoff; I never buy them.

I have had failures, but they’re usually covered anyway. For example, I had a Seagate hard drive fail when the computer was only two months old. It had a 5-year warranty, though, so it was replaced free. (Didn’t get my data back, of course. I’d rather pay for reliability than a warranty.)

replacing the fan is pretty easy

At least, it was for my Dell. I got one of those “easy upgrade” cases. It’s really easy to open the case and add and remove parts. It’s specially designed to be that way. Things just snap in and out, like Lego. No screws or anything.

Now, replacing the power supply on my old machine was a different story. I ended up having to take out all the drives first, just to get at it. What a pain that was.

You could probably get away with just replacing it, depending on how fast the rest of your computer is. Slow loading and changes in noises are telltale signs.

i might as well buy a new machine. I mean in another year or two it will be time anyway. Plus this thing has always had problems with the fans. All of the internal fans have been replaced since I bought it in 2005. Fortunately I bought the extended warranty so I didn’t have to pay for the fans, or the CD-RW and DVD drives when they both failed.

Even the virus scan is hanging up, ti will just freeze for a few minutes without checking any files.

i'm on the fence about what to do if i need to replace my desktop

i have a 3 year old lap top, but I couldn’t spend a lot of money on it (I bought it right before I left to study abroad, and I needed every penny I could get for “ground money”). So it is defiantly a secondary computer, nice for when I go home, travel, or need to write a paper in the library. I can’t use it as my primary computer, it is just two slow. The unfortunate thing about when I bought it was, they had the exact same system but with a duel processor for the same price as my laptop… after the rebate, and I couldn’t wait 6-8 weeks to get my money back, since I was leaving in 3.

I am not sure weather to just get a really nice laptop, and ditch having a desk top all togeather, or to just replace my desk top.

What happened?

The formatting of this site is screwed up this morning.

Notably, all the hard returns in comments are gone, jamming paragraphs together.

And the graphics overlap the title of the thread, at least in Firefox.

This is not an improvement.

Yeah, somebody screwed something up...

and it actually wasn’t me.

Let me write out a formal proof for you.

looks like they didn't plan for people having adblock

and the paragraph spacing is annoying. I’m putting in a ticket.

Otherwise, the visual refresh was intended.

Definitely a good argument.

if you turn adblock off for the site - just until they get the fix in

the graphics won’t overlap anymore. I know it’s not ideal, but if it is making it hard to see something, that is the way around it. Not sure what to do about the paragraphs though. That’s just plain stupid.

Definitely a good argument.

that's too bad for you, we're just about start our new feature: Upskirt Fridays

Definitely a good argument.

by Slyde on Nov 3, 2009 9:11 AM EST up reply actions 0 recs

then again, the upskirt photos were going to be of RR authors

so, maybe you’re not missing much. I haven’t shaved my legs in days.

Definitely a good argument.

bummer

I was hoping for Ian Kennedy.

speak for yourself

my underwear zone has been said to be like something from Greek mythology.

by that do you mean incestuous or just non-existant?

Definitely a good argument.

by Slyde on Nov 3, 2009 10:12 AM EST up reply actions 0 recs

nope

i mean like the fabled cyclops

by Charlie Scrabbles on Nov 3, 2009 10:41 AM EST up reply actions 0 recs

Agreed.

I don’t even have adblock on, and think that this looks retarded. Too much white background makes it hard on the eyes.

RACIST!

by Brendanukkah on Nov 3, 2009 10:57 AM EST up reply actions 0 recs

you'll be happy to know that the space problem between paragraphs

has been taken care of

Definitely a good argument.

as has the issue with adblock causing the logo to cover text

It may not be the best design, but they are listening to a lot of feedback right now (A LOT of emails are flying around about this), so hopefully it’ll start coming together a little better over time.

Definitely a good argument.

tell them this is a stupid design

The rest I can live with, but that “wall of text” look sucked big, green, warty pickles.

brian b won't stop scoring in the bereavement pool

claude levi-strauss has died, marking the 8th (!) hit for brian. Now, the obit is not on cnn yet, so it’s not official, but I expect they will put that up soon. It’s only worth 25 points (than, brian b’s wife and ctnyc also had him), but still, wow.

This design sucks.

I can’t even get the latest story to load on my computer. FTH?

Let me write out a formal proof for you.

Yeah, this was a brilliant rollout.

I would just like to say that I love the new design!

All white is ALL RIGHT!!!

But does everything load for you?

I don’t care much about the design. I’d just like to be able to see the pages.

Let me write out a formal proof for you.

by Gray on Nov 3, 2009 3:25 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs

I was kidding

I can deal with it as is, but I’m not so sure it’s an improvement. I see everything I think, they just moved some stuff around.

"What'd I say?"

by jch24 on Nov 3, 2009 3:32 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs

you still can't see everything?

send an email to support@sbnation.com with the details of what is happening and a screenshot too. I’m seeing everything just fine.

Definitely a good argument.

by Slyde on Nov 3, 2009 3:33 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs

I'll send an e-mail in a few

but yeah, it’s just not loading. This is what my screen looks like. After sitting there for several minutes. For some reason, this thread loads properly, though.

Man, I wish it were 70 degrees here.

I wonder if it's a caching issue

Firefox has some serious caching problems.

The fix (such as it is) is to clear your cache several times, then shift-refresh the page.
