You paid too much.

My apologies, I just realized that the topic sounded like I had a computer for sale. It is not.

update. just got an acer v173 monitor new, never used also FREE!

Also an Nvidia 9600gt FREE!

My nephew was friends with the computer guru at an electronic bingo hall here in Alabama. They just made all of them Illegal. They had to shut the doors. He loaded up as best he could with free computer stuff.

why do you need a monitor when you had that bigass tv>?

go for win 7, works great, does have good raid support from everything ive read, but i am not actually using a raid config.


Nice on the raptors...if you felt you had too many i could be convinced to buy one off ya. /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

Sorry Frat. Yes I went with win 7 and seems to work wonderfully with a hardware RAID0 which unfortunately uses both of the Raptors. Now I just need to get win to recognize the other two drives. I think it may have something to do with setting them up in a raid with Linux. Just need to find em and format em. Have not had as much comp time lately. Might see about it when I get home this weekend.

WOW! Howdy Monk! long time no chat. To answer your question, you can never get too much free computer stuff.

Holy shit its this guy? /blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" />

Well, it is getting closer to 2012. Is his return one of the signs of the apocolypse?

Ugh, don't even get me started on that bullshit. I've called out idiots on that shit more times then I can remember.

Back... uhhh... on topic. My calendar on my desk just ends on 12/31/2009... I'm much more worried about what will happen then. I mean... it just... ends.

No worries, our civilization is still around. Therefore we can make a new calendar, problem solved.

The BIG PROBLEM is that the Mayan Civilization has pretty much come to an end, therefore no new Mayan calendar. This obviously means that since a defunct Civilization can't make a new calendar our entire planet will come to a horrifying end.

But HAVE NO FEAR!!! I have a solution to the whole problem. There are still descendent's of the Mayan people running around. I will go and find one. I shall then give him 'bout tree-fiddy to make a NEW CALENDAR thus saving all of humanity from destruction.

That should at least earn me the Nobel Peace Prize, or at least a free small sized coffee from Mc Donalds.


Everyone please submit your plans to "Save the World".

This has gotten waaaay off the original topic, but I like where it's going.

The problem is that the Mayan Calendar is ridiculously complicated.
Tzolk'in Calendar:
20 day "months"
13 "month" years

Haab' Calendar
20 day "months"
18 "month" years
Months started at day 0, the seating point of the month. Or in some versions day 20 of the previous month.
At the end of each calendar year there was a 5 day period known as Wayeb to clock off the excess Solar Year time. This makes for problems tracking seasons over long periods of time as it doesn't account for 365.25 day years, but only 365.

This calendar is only sufficient to count 52 years worth of days. After that it repeats. So a longer calendar was devised using a 5 Base-20 system. 1.1.1.1.1 to 20.20.20.18.20 (only 18 "winals" to account for 20*18 +5 = 365 days) which allows for well beyond 12/12/2012 but the final recorded and calculated date value was set to the final day of the 13th b'ak'tun or 13.20.20.18.20 There are still another 1,008,000 days left AFTER 2012, taking us to:
4,771 AD

Even if we make all the same assumptions as these doom&gloomists we still find that they are completely ignorant and retarded.
