Full on. Isn't there only one train line in Wales and all it does is go back out of Wales?


Saying that I may be driving to Wrexham in a couple of days; is that classed as Wales?

Yeah, I'd say so, just about.

Wrexham is one of stupid places that isn't really in Wales but everything and everyone is Welsh.

Used to work around there and we had an office in Shrewsbury.
One guy, from Wrexham, kept going on about we didnt understand his "Welsh ways".
You were born in fu[size=2]cking Shropshire, cu[/size]nt. Its hardly Aber-bloody-yswyth.


Whatever you do, don't let them know you're from England.

Yeah, I'm here with the hockey. Not playing but came along for the ride.

Wouldn't know about the train, got a coach down here with a load of guys. Annoyingly getting a coach back to newcastle after a game that starts at 21:30 is gonna get us to newcastle for about 6-7 oclock in the morining.... might just hang around for my first lecture to start XD*

*even worse, need to get a lab report finished for tomorrow. Gahhgarhgh!**


**lfd much?

Nah your post wasn't long enough. Also sup Zeke? I feel I should thank you everytime you're on for helping me build this PC (which now has a bad *** 22" 1080P HD Asus monitor instead of the s[SIZE="2"]h[/SIZE]itty little compaq CRT).


I've got 4 minutes till my self imposed reading session resumes. Back to the joys of critical history essays. Then later I get to plan a 2 hour timed essay on the use of coarse language in Harrison's and Rochester's poems. Actually that one's quite fun.


Also; I cannot stop playing this song. It's so damn catchy yet heavy. It's been a while since I liked a song much I literally had to play it constantly. Actually the last time was another song by the same band.

I can't stop playing Arch Enemy riffs.

Not much is up man, uni grind pretty much all the time. realised that the electronic engineering course is not very well structured at all, not really doing much that really interests me at the moment. That, and playing Borderlands \m/

What's the spec like on that PC? I'm thinking of building another soon but I want the i7's to drop in price, ideally to around 150 mark. Might be wishful thinking but I can wait :P

Uh, off the top of my head I can't remember. I think the graphics was a nvidia 9800gt 512, ocz platinum ram, I think the cpu was an intel e7300 or something.

What's the deal with the i7's? Heard some good about them. New architecture or something?

Thinking of building my own cab
 

but this isn't really worth a thread

How practical is it building a 4x12 using both treble and bass amp-speakers? I used to play through a bass cab and really liked the heavy tone.

I was thinking of building 2 2x12s, one treble and the other with bass speakers

Thoughts?

You'll need the knowledge first.

I'm shocked. the first time I venture out of the bass forum in AGES and I realise the guitar forum actually still has guitar related discussion.

Well the old i7's, I think all but the bottom one, had 4 cores and 4 "imaginary" (can't remember the term they used) cores or w/e. Basically it wasn't there, but it thought it had 8 cores. Which was kind of cool to say the least.

The upcoming i7's are going to be 32nm, instead of 45nm, architecture. Though the thing is the i7's were supposedly going to be replaced at the end of the year by something which required a new socket (on the mother-board). So any one who bought an i7 would have to buy a new mobo, and possibly new RAM because of it, if they wanted to upgrade from an i7.

Though it isn't confirmed of course, I'm not sure if the new 32nm are what they were talking about or what comes after them. Though who knows when the 32nm are going to come out. They were originally a Q4 of 2009, but were pushed back to Q1 of 2010, and if we look at Intel's history it is feasible they'll be pushed back again... and maybe again.

Spread the word hombre. I can't believe a band of that quality is hardly known.

f[SIZE="2"]u[/SIZE]ck you mx and fu[SIZE="2"]ck[/SIZE] the 11,000 posts I've wasted here. :(

Anyone remember when post counts were celebrated? And we had stars under our names? Them were happier times.

I think Imma use this milestone to take a break from mx because I'm on here and face/lamebook instead of studying. Inabit lod.

fag

3 to 1 odds that SBT will be back on here before the end of the week.
Or is that generous?

I was thinking it'd be more like a break for the night... no longer than 24 hours really.

he'll be back on by tomorrow.

atleast to read the lod, if not to post.

thats right, sbt, you're caught.

that fag sbt wants into my pants

yeah me too

i mean...

<_<

Off to final #1, in the rain, wish me luck Lod.


Edit: Finished in 35 minutes, feel like I did good.

who doesn't tbh

i amde the changeover to google chrome after firefox's new update f'ckin everything up, + facebook freezin for a few seconds at a time got annoying, it loadsa super fast

is there a way to have the bookmarks list permanently on the page?

Anyone still got those Periphery backing tracks? (Icarus lives, inertia)

1. 4 cores, hyperthreaded. You end up with '4 imaginary' cores. Hyperthreading was kinda popular around the P4 era before C2D came out and made everything awesome.

2.I really doubt intel are gonna change socket standards after pretty much only just changing it from the LGA775. Two sockets are currently used for the i7/i5 series, LGA 1366 and LGA1156. I don't know much about the latter but the former is used for Xeons as well. I also don't doubt that they're going to change to a 32nm process soon enough, check wikipedia for the different standards of processes, only thing this after 32nm there aren't many left o.O

wat

[QUOTE=The_Mop;17687628] only thing this after 32nm there aren't many left o.O[/QUOTE]

Well I know they're working on 22nm (which is what is after 32 nm), and what no faith in going to pico-meter technology? :lol:

I hate finals, but tomorrow it will all be over... right now I'm trying to memorize about a page back and front plus another front of a page worth of equations. I wrote all these out from the notes, and my hand hurts after writing them out. Yet I'm expected to know them all... and how to use them.

F[size=2]u[/size]cking 4000 lvl engineering classes blow. Just gotta keep telling myself this final is all that stands between me and graduation. Well, tech. I have a second final but it is Safety. I think I can go into a Safety final and get a 20 (what I need for a D) and pass the class. Though I'm pretty confident I would even get a C (need a 54) with out studying. Though I want a B in the class, so I need an 87. :upset:


Though I'm probably going to be stuck studying for that final in the 4 hours between it and my first.

Dear LFD live journal What engineering degree are you seeking?

UR smart.
unfortunately awesome paying jobs in your field are very few. Sorry to bring the bad news. Hopefully you will be one of the lucky ones that gets a good job. I know anymore it seems like a 4 year degree is only about as good as a HS diploma.

I'm not sure what you're smoking, but an EE major straight out of college (depending his field) makes $60-120k a year. I'm not a controls EE, so I wont be making 100k+, but a single guy can live pretty happily on $60k a year... and that is bad pay for my degrees.

Thanks, good luck to you too.

talking about finals then? okay

i'm halfway though studying for my cost accounting test, but i've been really unmotivated to study at all tbh because the teacher said the test is going to be the same difficulty as all the others, except its open book and open note.

also, advanced accounting take home test (which is really easy, its about the equivalent of two homework problems) due monday.

my international commercial law final was yesterday, which was just a presentation on a current issue having to do with one of the chapters (my group got employment law). teacher said she wanted to make it really easy for us and she didn't want to give a test so yay for that.

this has probably been my easiest semester in two years, go me.
