HDD failure is a fact of life even with SSD. What you do to prepare for it is the thing that matters most. Picking up a SSD big enough to hold an OS is at least $70 (16GB).

People using MSN Messenger = funny I was using Trillian til recently. Now GAIM has all I need, since Trillian was annoying for IRC. I never log into MSN anymore.
I think that's what your problem is. I know you think you've got this all down because you saw a couple Youtube videos and read a magazine, but I swear to you that many scientists are debating the validity of different parts of evolution and some of the validity of evolution itself. Also, is English your 2nd or 3rd…
Bummer they moved it back to San Jose. There were some crazy nights last year, with San Francisco hosting the show. And that's really all I care about, getting smashed with my game industry folk.
