Yes, he has UCLA on the list to apply... Well, from what I've heard as the son of a UCLA alumni, and the good friend of a USC alumni.....UCLA will give you just as good as an education as USC, for usually a lot less since it's state run and not private, hence more scholorships and other payment options. Although the major perk to going to USC is that it's a private school, and hence makes people look at you better because you paid more for the same education like a chump rather than going to a State run college getting the same education for alot less. Basically, the popular crowd in the adult level. I will say that USC's mascot is cooler (who wants freaking Teddy Bears), and that I hear their parties are wilder. Back when I was looking to be a psychology major, I wanted to go to USC, but since then those plans have been scrapped in favor of the local JC and then Digipen.

Yippee!! I've disovered another neato webcomic. WIGU!!! His mother is a stock broker, his father is a porn soundtrack writer, and his sister is a nihilist.

Cosmo, I thought you were under/right at eighteen. Have you ever even paid taxes? Basically, when it comes down to it, the only 'cost' for said surgeries, is that of the silicone implants, sutures, guaze, bandages, etc. The surgeons are getting paid either way, they might as well be doing something. I'd much rather see them doing surgery on civilians that actually NEEDED a surger for whatever reason, but I suppose that wouldn't really do all that much for the Army now would it?

I can't believe no one's mentioned Loser yet. I was pleasantly surprised when the lead did a cameo in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. The end sequence where they tell where his roomies ended up was priceless. :D

Only in Fuzzy World. :D

Fuzzy's passion for nonconventional and totally off the wall violence never ceases to amaze me.

There's better ones too. Wait til you get to the nine part series with Fuzzy's mom. :D And just so we're all clear, trigger happy sociopathic teddy bears make for QUALITY HUMOR!!!

Okay, I have to say. Sam Logan is my flocking hero right now. I can't wait to try this myself. :D

I saw this and thought it might tickle your funnybone considering your old sig line. Please everyone, feel free to post more webcomics that you like here so this isn't deleted as spam and I don't get in trouble. JT, reminding everyone we needed a webcomic thread anyway.

Sad really. I've always been fond of Scott Bacula.

I want mechanical body parts!

It would've taken up too much of the Billy Gates Box's RAM. <_< JT, Bitter PC Gamer -

HELL NO!!! Leave the hoods in a perpetual state of upness if you have to, but if I don't get a hood, there will be blood. Damn Billy Gates Box, it's killing innovation in PC games. :angry:

How many of them have you said that line to? How many of them knew you were lying? Now even your comebacks are beginning to look like you came in eighth place. Sad. Aww, c'mon mkreku, even you yourself said that this thread was a joke as the whole list is FUBAR. Don't stoop to his level now. I will say though, that the Sierra Nevada mountains is one of the most beautiful places on earth though. And that while South Cali may have earthquakes, one up here is extremely rare as we're all sitting on Bedrock. No natural disasters to speak of w00t! :D

Should we have animals?
Child of Flame replied to Craigboy2's topic in Star Wars: General Discussion
I dunno, if it was a badass pet like a greasel from Deus Ex (you didn't get to have one, but the fights they bet on were pretty cool), I wouldn't frown on it. But the way you make it sound, it's like Pokemon. <shrugs> -
My ancsestors were some of the Cherokee people that were screwed over by that whole treaty sh!t. About a hundred years ago my great grandfather and his family decided that it was best to pretend, and 'learn' to be white, rather than face all the reacism against 'halfbreeds' which was luckily (or unluckily?) possible considering they already some European blood, and the Cherokee were a fairly light skinned race already, though my family still has a reddish tint to their skin. It's sad really. The Native Americans welcomed the white people, for the most part took on the attitude that there was plenty of land for everyone, and the Europeans give them their smallpox ridden blankets, to which they had no immunities for, got them addicted to booze, etc. <wishes people could just get along> JT

My favorite book of all time is Dracula (Brahm Stoker). My favorite series/trilogy of all time is C.S. Lewis' space trilogy (Out of the Silent Planet, Perelandra, That Hideous Strength), which I'd recommend reading even if you aren't religous. My favorite author of all time is Isaac Asimov. My favorite book by Isaac Asimov is The Positronic Man (The Bicentennial Man in later releases), which is also a movie, but it was my favorite of his works before the movie. B)

<bump> C'mon Tyrell, isn't there anything Mr. The Force.net writer can do about this travesty of message board communication? <_<

I'm thinking of getting a new motherboard
Child of Flame replied to Lightsaber430's topic in Way Off-Topic
<has had bad experience and less of a shopping selection from Tiger Direct, of course, that was on a notebook PC, not individual components> To each their own. I'd strongly advise a new case so you don't have to put up with all of Sony's crap, not to mention horrible cooling, but that's just me; and I've been known to go overkill when upgrading my precious computer. -
I'm thinking of getting a new motherboard
Child of Flame replied to Lightsaber430's topic in Way Off-Topic
:D <has good news> Is this what the inside of your computer looks like? Because if it does, I can't be sure without actually being there, but it looks like you should be able to install a new PS with little to no fuss. B) I got the picture from HERE. It's a review on that model, and it basically says what you've concluded. It's suited for Office work, not gaming. Next time you buy a prefabricated computer (which I shall never, ever do again, now that I know how to build my own), do a little research. All I had to do to find this, was type "Upgrading a <your model>" into google. It was the first hit. Anywho, good luck. Manufacturer's often BS when they say whether or not something's upgradeable, because not only does it void the warranty, but if you're upgrading your PC, you'll eventually learn to BYO, which means you won't be buying from them anymore. It's good business for them to keep you in the dark. <_< -
I'm thinking of getting a new motherboard
Child of Flame replied to Lightsaber430's topic in Way Off-Topic
Unless it's a funny shaped one, or is welded in place or something weird, you can change it. Most companies say that whether or not you can, because it voids your warranty. But so does any other type of do-it-yourself upgrades, like installing a new MOBO. 185 Watts is extremely low for a PS, lowest I've ever heard of. <shudders> Unless you already have a PCI GFX card installed in it, or have a GFX card in it you can take out....I wouldn't do it. But that's just me. Even if it is a weird shaped PS, there are ways of mounting a PS on the outside of the case, or in the bottome of the case where there's some extra room. It'll take a little more doing (i.e. modding) and maybe a little work with a dremel, but it can be done. Don't lose hope yet Padawan. <edit>Also, buying a new case would fix ALL your problems. Unless you got some funky proprietary drives, and even so, drives are cheap. Your processor is probably more expensive than anything else in the entire computer. Is there any way you can take a picture of your PC's innards for me to take a gander at? That would help, ALOT. </edit> -
Not a f*cking clue. The Force.net's too strict for me, considering I'm not even allowed to say WTF, which I'm allowed to say on most so called 'family' oriented forums.

I'm thinking of getting a new motherboard
Child of Flame replied to Lightsaber430's topic in Way Off-Topic
Pentium4 512MB of RAM. Will switching my motherboard result in a better power supply? Hell no! In fact, if you intend to purchase a GFX card to hook up to it as well, I'd at least buy a new PS that was 350 Watts or so. Your computer's liable to catch fire running a 185 watt PS with a new MOBO, new GFX card....etc. It sounds like you computer's proprietary (i.e. prebuilt Dell, Gateway, Compaq, etc.) So I'd definitely plan to install a bigger PS if you intend to install anything other than a MOBO. Even if you don't right now, it's a good investment, becaause if you're willing to rip your computer apart and hook up a new motherboard, you have all the tech expertise you need to do upgrades in the future. I'm running on a 500 Watt modded Powmax, but that's because I have a bunch of fans, and a CC light in it as well as the drives, cards etc. Also, since it sounds like you're running on proprietary hardware, you might want to measure your case dimensions and make sure what you're buying will FIT inside your case. Even better would be to buy a new case, especially if you're installing a new GFX card, as cooling in most prebuilt cases is SH!T!!! <_< Not trying to be a downer, but if you intend to purchase a new MOBO which is the most expensive part in most computers besides the processor (mine was actually less than the MOBO though. ), you might as well save up a little more money, and buy yourself a new PS and Case and do the job right. -
Man, if at all possible, you need to do something about The Force.net's swearing policy. I mean, I have to write WT* if I want to write WTF?!! WTF? WTF has long been a staple of message boards, for saying what you want to say, without being offensive. Just like RTFM among techies. It's no different than saying heck instead of hell, or dang/darn instead of damn. WTF man?!! Just....W....T.....F? <yes, I am really bored, and I have been up all night>
