Your data's good. You will not lose it connecting the drive to another board. You'll have to update some drivers, but no sweat. If you're really concerned, bring the new board up on a new drive and put your current drive in as secondary.

Hope you had a good one. I remember well how hard it got at 18. Sadly, no more...

I'll never believe it until I see it on the shelves. But after what, 12 years of development, who knows what this is gonna look like.

Looks just like the mailman!!! Nice job Chile - best to you and mom.

Bullshit: We don't let our cats outside to play. We keep them in the House!!! Whoever's leading this effort to help Blackcat, just holler and let me know what I can do.

Send her an ap. I'll sponsor her.

Agreed Loader. The legacy of the United States is that we are the world's melting pot. In no other nation in the history of the world have people with such disparate political and especially social and religious beliefs, been able to come together, and to live together in complete harmony. The reason they were able to do so - and that the U.S. has been free of political and religious war - is that upon arrival, these citizens of many different nations ASSIMILATED into our society. They learned our language, they learned our social mores, and they became Americans. They still preserved their own heritage - as they should - but they adopted to our country. That's why it's so important that America not let go of that. To that end, I have no problem declaring English as the "official" language of the U.S. and banning any attempts to subvert our political systems - for instance, by allowing some communities to adopt Sharia law as is happening in some European nations. You come here, you fit in. If you don't want to fit in, don't come here. If you don't want to learn to speak English, all well and good. But don't expect to be employed here, or to buy products here in your native language, or to see ballots printed in 15 languages, etc. Frankly, it really pisses me off to see more and more products printed in both English and Spanish. I have no problem with our hispanic LEGAL immigrants, but this is America god damn it, and I want it to stay that way - though that seems like a lost cause anymore.

I "have the answer." But I'm not telling you what it is. Na na na na na...

Toes: I KILL YOU (I know you're running a still somewhere in those Kentucky hills...)

Let's hope the military's assinine "Don't ask, don't tell" policy has finally ended with an order from the Pentagon directing recruiters to accept openly gay recruits for the first time in the nation's history. And why would recruiters even ask what a person's sexual preference is? That, in itself, seems a civil rights violation. It should be of no concern to the Armed Forces whether someone is gay. There are plenty of regulations protecting members of the military from sexual assault/advances. I don't get why the military should give a shit whether you are gay or not, particularly now that women fight right alongside men on the front lines. Likewise, it is no business of government what color you are, a question on this year's census form that I did not respond to. Racism is mankind's greatest evil. I hate racists with a passion and one reason it continues is because our own government is actively involved in propogating racial differences while allowing racist organizations to exist. No one should ever be asked what race they are and in time, it'll make no sense to do so as races continue to interbreed. I'm a former member of the American Society of Newspaper Editors. Every year they send newspaper editors a survey asking how many minority reporters they hired as part of their stated effort to recruit minorities as journalists. And every year I would respond that I don't hire on the basis of race, but on the basis of ability, and that tracking employment by race is a racist act. I finally resigned the organization so they'd quit sending it. The NAACP, the Congressional Black Caucus, and any other organization, private or otherwise, that discriminates on the basis of race - white or black - should be outlawed.

Just to add that spawn killing/tripping will get you kicked. Keep at it and you'll be banned.

Yep, get a lawyer. If you can't afford one, call your legal aid society (Google it for MN) You need to understand your rights and legal recourse before you do anything else.

I guess I do about half and half. If I can find a good spot and take a few kills, I do it. But I don't stay there long because it doesn't feel right. That said, I understand what you're saying Mickvette. But I consider it a style of play and if that's what some want to do, I take some pleasure in hunting them down and taking them out. On the one extreme in COD4 where I see you often, we've got Ron Bacardi who's been on our servers for a long, long time and now is a member. As we all know, Ron was the ultimate camper. And he never scored well on the maps. Now, he's changed his style and is out there shooting it up. Now I see him end a map at number one. Then there's Mean Dean, who hunts with a knife and is the ultimate runner - he's a blur in there. He gets on my nerves too, but that's his style and that's fine by me - I just try to keep my back to a wall. I think these varied styles of play add to the gaming experience. If we all just ran and gunned it, it would be quite boring for me. Likewise, if everyone just camps down - and sometimes that happens - there's no game and so I just leave. Learning to adapt to these various styles makes us a better player I think. And again, if the campers went away entirely, it wouldn't be the same, and it wouldn't be as fun - at least for me.

That's wonderful Chile - congrts!!! And a GREAT name!!

Please tell him that we all thank him for his service and wish him God speed.

I've been in the South 30 years and constantly see this strange use of the word "sale" when you mean "sell." Apparently it results from the Southern "twang" which also mispronounces the word "sell" as "sail." In any event, why do you want to SELL a kick-ass machine like that; when did you acquire it; and how much do you want for it?

I like that one!!! Thanks man. OMG that last one was making me ill.

Actually, some of us got together and decided that until you get rid of that digusting avatar, we're gonna keep you off the site.

Excellent DeeJay!!!

Wow - Thank you all very much!!!! Don't know how in hell I got this old - I don't feel like I'm 64. But I do feel very fortunate to be associated with this great group of folks in XI. I couldn't do without you or this clan and I'm proud to be one of you. Thanks again...

Chile, your great country made all of us proud. President Pinera set an example of leadership that I wish our own president would follow. While Obama would be raving about the failure of the mining industry and calling for new federal regulations, followed by a moratorium on further mining, President Pinera took charge, accepted help wherever he could get it and focused on the mission: saving lives. Congrats!

That's great P-Man. Happy for ya! Let us know when you're up and running!!!

It is time for me to come out of the closet. I am the spawn of *l2_shhk3 (there is no suitable translation) who is a native of a planet which I am not at liberty to disclose. My mother was taken in January of 1946, implanted, and I am the result. For the past 64 years I have observing the social status of Earth to determine whether or not our home race wishes to conquer it. I joined XI several years ago only to gain insight into how the average human thinks - the recent UFO sightings are of drones which were sent here to gather those reports. After carefully analyzing the conversations on this forum over that period of time, I must recommend to my superiors that we bypass this pathetic corner of the galaxy. XI has shown me that humans are too fucked up to be of any use to us.

Toothpick, you are definitely cut from the Idiot mold and pay no attention to that guy behind the FunStick mask. He's actually a grossly obsese 60-year-old reliving the chidhood he was denied due to a long incarceration for bestiality.

Bullshit. I'm the best. And don't you freakin' idiots ever forget it.
