So...when someone posts something general like, "People should have to get a nonjerk license before they can post on the internet," it makes one think that there is a specific story behind such a broad proclamation.

Mmm. Anyone who has spent enough time on internet messageboards has plenty of stories :)

Yeah, but since it was Jacobs' post, it made me curious.

I admit, I too was a little curious when I read it.

meh... I'll just build another one when the time comes. This one's only a year and a half old, so once I get Win7 into it it's gonna have a few more years left in it.

Man, you should see my posts when I get tired!
You can see that as the night wore on my Posts on the Monster Synopsis Threads for SuperStar Round 2 got worse and worse.
The thing is is that I don't wan Windows 7. Its too much of a pain since there is so little software that is compatible. We have it at the store and it is a huge mess.
I'm not having problems with Windows 7. It's MUCH better than Vista and you don't want to be stuck with that abomination.
Oh no!
Nowadays, I try to only post in friendly threads when it gets late, but sometimes I fail. I remember when I was in the Gygaxian naturalism argument thread, man, I posted some dissertations late at night.

I saw that too this morning. Wish I knew the story behind the comment.

Does anyone else think it's a shame that Daigle's name isn't "Yoda?" Then, Yoda8myhead could sing:
Yoda you can eat my head
Even though I will be dead
Yoda you can eat my head
And Yoda I love you
Good ideas: posting; drinking
Bad idea: posting while drinking
Yeap.

That's what I thought.
It might be a "new" program, but the version you have may have been made before Win7 came out and might not be compatible with it yet. I would contact the manufacturer of the Software and see what they say about it as they may have an update or another newer version. Depending on you version of Win7, you might be able to run the Program in Win7's Virtual XP setting.
I am off as well. I have a lil shopping to do.

ok SO Windows 7 works fine. They just adjusted some basic things they should have done with vista and made it look nicer. I have heard rumors that the internal name was windows 6.2.
That being said you can generally and sometimes easier get it fixed, then say with vista, which I must admit can be stubborn but nothing like their old programs.
Alienware is a great and powerful gaming system BUT you are also paying for the name. You can get just as powerful of a machine for almost 1000 less just by shopping around.

Dell Outlet is a nice play to look
Yeah I don't mind Dell. I have 2 (my Laptop and my wife's Desktop) and I haven't had any issues with them (OK so the power cord for my laptop died, but I got it replaced under Warranty and haven't had a problem since.
They're not top of the pile, but they are consistent and relatively cheap. Plus, you can custom build a machine to your budget instead of taking what the store has to offer and not needing half of what is in there...I am not a fan of HP after repairing too many over the past 3 years and having issues with said repairs on a number of occasions. :/

Dell consistently has a problem with their power cords.
I have had to replace every cord I have ever gotten.
Oh and Taig, thanks again for looking at my item. Your words really meant a lot to me, especially with how bad yesterday went.
The thing is is that I don't want Windows 7. Its too much of a pain since there is so little software that is compatible. We have it at the store and it is a huge mess.You gotta remember though that the software you have at the Store is probably older proprietary software or if it's not then it will be updated, but it's possible the owner won't shell out for the newer version. I have seen this many times before, people have an old version and don't pay for the upgrades, then something goes wrong and all of a sudden they can't do anything with it.
I have heard nothing but good things about Win7 (OK I have heard some gripes, but not many).
as many as vista?
Oh and Taig, thanks again for looking at my item. Your words really meant a lot to me, especially with how bad yesterday went.
Thanks. I wasn't sure. I felt like I wasn't being helpful, especially with my "default damage by size" comment. I hoped someone else would weigh in after me.
You should definitely enter next year.

Dude, you were totally helpful! I'll keep that kind of stuff in mind for next year- do you think mentioning where certain rules could be found would invalidate my entry?
Cable guy just gave me a new cable modem....thank god. I was starting to get the hakes from internet withdrawal.

Not at all. It's a nice shorthand for answering any questions that might come up, and, since the rules *are* available, you don't have to repeat them.
Did I scare everyone off?

Yes, please elaborate. I'm considering switching away from Vista to 7 and would like to know if it's worth the trouble.

Never saw much trouble with vista myself but maybe I was just lucky.
tryChasms to see what it is like.

Nope - some of us are just captivated by all the snow falling right now in Atlanta. Again... ;D
Hey, TAD. I've been busy trying to investigate a software issue here at work, so I've been kinda in and out.
I'm glad you got your modem. I wondered where you went.
