Short version: I need a PCI network card, and would like your recommendations
Long version: I recently built a PC w/ Win7 (after a year or two of randomly accumulating parts when I had some extra cash) and spent a couple of weeks trying to figure out why it was bluescreening randomly. I've narrowed it down to, I think, the drivers for my onboard network port (ASRock M3A770DE). While I have the latest drivers from the ASRock site, I still get bluescreens related to network drivers.
In frustration (and well I kinda wanted to dick around with it anyway) I installed Ubuntu using their windows installer, and popped it in alongside my windows install. It's been trucking along for ~3 days now so I don't think my hardware is to blame for my windows troubles (before this I wondered about possibly a defective power supply).
Yeah I'm the same way. I don't particularly like being photographed either. It just seems stupid to me, "Hey everybody! Gather around and pose uncomfortably in a way that you would never actually do for any reason! And smile! You're not doing it! We'll stand here all day until you can conjure up a half assed smile!" Man photographs are the worst.
Neil Gaiman has a lot, I particularly like one called "The Price" which can be found in Smoke and Mirrors. He has other short story collections as well but unfortunately I haven't gotten around to reading them yet.
I went to the local walmart to get XCOM at midnight. There were maybe 5-6 others there for some other game that came out that day. Mostly it involved watching the clerk dig through giant and apparently randomly packed boxes trying to find the games.
I always tip 15% + whatever it takes to then get to the next even dollar amount. There's something my brain really enjoys about paying an even dollar amount for something.
Grand Marnier on the rocks is pretty good. I'm not a big liquor drinker but that stuff is alright. I would have to say my favorite mixed drink is probably a White Russian.
If you have some of that Southern Comfort left, try mixing it with Dr. Pepper. I feel like the flavors match up really well.
