Sort of a shortened version of "this is what I'm talking about."
Sort of like how “hear, hear” is short for “hear, all ye good people, hear what this brilliant and eloquent speaker has to say,” except a lot more annoying.
I'm going to start using the long version.

I switched to windows 7 a few days ago
i havn’t reinstalled my programs.
the preceding post was a great success.
i like it a lot
and i switched from xp. definitely worth the switch from vista. much faster performance
I'm on XP as well
Didn’t want to switch to Vista because I don’t like an OS that takes up 600 megs of RAM at idle and because Vista offered me no new feature I actually needed (I switched from 2000 to XP to get hyperthreading support for my pentium 4 processor).
Any problems going from an XP computer to it?
I’m going to need to reinstall my OS sometime soon anyways.
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.
-The Outlaw
nope
i actually bugged knockoutking about the install but it was extremely painless. I went through a lot of trouble backing stuff up and it actually kept my hard drive in tact and my old windows folder still there (which i later deleted).
I only have 1GB of RAM too. can be slower than XP at times but I also dont’ use my computer for anything interesting
My current setup is 4 1/2 years old
I’m considering building something new just because 4 1/2 years is really, really pushing the record for longest time I’ve gone between major upgrades (to me, stuff like a new DVD burner is minor and a new motherboard/processor is major). My old record was just under three years. So when I finally do get to build something new, I might want to have a clean install of Windows 7 with it.
that is probably a must
i’m thinking this won’t be an xp/vista situation where both OS’s hang around about even. Windows 7 is basically a better implemented version of vista and enough of a reason for people to make the switch
I'm sure a P4 2.8 GHz with 2 gigs of RAM would have the cajones to run Windows 7
But if I do get a quad-core processor, 10,000-RPM SATA drive, lots of gigs of RAM, etc. then I’m thinking that would be a good time to up the OS as well.
Problem being replacing some of the software I’ve had for like a decade that I don’t know where my install files are anymore.
Maybe I could get used to the GIMP for making my GDT images… :D
not that i condone this in any way
but it’s so nice to have torrents as a backup for missing install files. i freaking bought microsoft office but i dont’ know where that CD is anymore
If you have a license you have a license
Nothing wrong with downloading them as far as I know.
by Black Francis on May 12, 2009 10:24 PM CDT up reply actions
ok
I don’t have a license for everything :)
But I feel like engaging in the whole torrent thing is still wrong, even if you don’t ahve a license. You are hosting that file for lots of people witthout licenses. whatever. splitting hairs i guess.
Yeah
I don’t download software, but if I did I wouldn’t feel bad if it were MS, Adobe, or some other huge company that has people over a barrel and overcharges like crazy. Small software companies are different.
That’s my conscience, anyway.
Forgot that you upload torrents while you’re downloading them. There are other places to download only but you have to be very careful.

I'm just glad the days of trying to download off a ratio server on dial-up are over
Nothing sucked like waiting like 20 minutes to upload one song to the ratio server, then it would suddenly “lose” the connection and you’d reconnect and have to upload another song before you could download. Rinse and repeat.
From what I understand Microsoft is working on a new OS because of issues with vista
i would suggest just waiting for that.
yep
its not a miracle or anything, but as far as typical OS upgrades go this is a good one.
the preceding post was a great success.
Did you REALLY upgrade to the pre-release version???

I've never understood
switching to a new operating system if the old operating system is working.
Its not like they make apps run better.
4/10/09 - Josh Hamilton's last walk.
well it actually does work better than vista
and extra features, something new. it’s what we kids do
What extra features?
I’ll probably get 7 on my next computer, but upgrading to a new OS is usually just a pain to get all the drivers working with minimal payoff.
4/10/09 - Josh Hamilton's last walk.
i didn't have any driver issues or incompatible programs
features: nothing spectacular. some cool UI design improvements. stuff that was in vista (like window preview) that has either added functionality or actually runs without your computer crashing.
some others, offhand:
-better dual monitor recognition
-better sidebar implementation
-better handling of my music/my videos files (more like a pointer instead of separate folder)
-better wifi control center (than vista, and probably XP)
Nothing that you have to upgrade for but I wasnt’ doing anything on a saturday and sans backup, the process took 1 hour with very little installing that had to be done.

Elvis Andrus - 2009 AL Rookie of the Year
Not that you should complain. . .
But if you’re looking for anything, the pitching is below-average (the fielding is spectacular), and the plate discipline is disturbing.
Neither is a sure bet to sink the team, though.

seems like the
last few games they have cut down on the first pitch swinging. It hasn’t translated into many walks but they did make two of the M’s relievers throw over 30 pitches tonight.
Elvis Andrus - 2009 AL Rookie of the Year
you realize if we lost that game (which looked kind of likely for most of the game)
you would get about 10000 responses
(but I still had a hard time imagining how the M’s were going to score a lot of runs)
Ichiro has a 100 pitch at bat
Successfully knocking the starter and several relievers out of the game before the first out.
The walk still seems to be an elusive concept.
Other than that, they’re on a roll.

I don't get what's so fancy about it...
just call it what every other fucking restaurant calls it, Small, Medium, Large!
I hate places that don’t have a small also, but instead carry medium, large, and extra large. You’re not fooling anyone, extra large is really just large.
Then it goes the other way where a medium at Whataburger is the equivalent of a large or extra large most other places.

Restaurant industry should come up with standard sizes across the board so you always know what you are getting. Small = 20 oz., Medium 32 oz., Large 44 oz.

Somewhere in the shade.
Maybe under the homerun porch in right field?

it’s shaded and close to the kids play area in center field, which might interest you depending on your nieces ages.

they are under the shade and usually open

In the 100s level is good if you want guaranteed shade.

The right-hander said he doesn’t regret pitching three-consecutive days because the team needed him all three games. He said he could pitch right now, but the team wants to be safe with him. Francisco had typical arm soreness last Thursday, but said it was “really, really sore” in Chicago. “For right now, I’m fine,” Francisco said. “I’m going to do what they tell me to do. I’ve been through a lot and I’m just going to go out there and do what I’m supposed to do and deal with the problem.” He said he played catch Monday and his arm felt fine.

Let's be honest though
LL is a well-written blog with pretty good commenters
True
It’s just that they also happen to be some of the most perpetually sardonic, egotistical and crass blogs around. Which makes them hilariously epic at times, but also hard to tolerate in prolonged dosages.
Not that the same can’t be said for LSB to a certain degree some days (okay… most days), but we’ve still got ways to go before we get to the level of that patented LL brashness. 2-3 more years of futility though and I could definitely see us reaching that plateu around here… by that time though, LL would likely have crossed over into the land of the damned.

They seem to be no better or worse than your average LSB regular when it comes to baseball knowledge, although they don’t seem to have as many trolls and morons as we do around here (though that’s probably just because they don’t tolerate ’em like AJM does).
Their downfall is they take themselves too seriously for such a “colorful” group.

I used to really like him… that was before I learned anything about baseball though.

It's "update the old Rangers that it's easy to get updates for without me having to read Japanese" night.
Park’s six-inning, two-run night lowered his ERA to 6.00.

Hey, Inkara1
I saw you mention in the Lookout Landing thread that you have Tourette Syndrome.
Me too. And I don’t have the coprolalia either.

Fun times for all
I do have facial/head tics, but I do a good job of hiding them so I don’t get asked the same questions 50,000 times.
Yeah
My tics are mostly in my hands and feet now- I have two fairly persistent ones in my left thumb and left foot at the moment. I get a sniffing/eyeblinking one when I’m really stressed out.
Fortunately, mine’s fairly mild- it sounds like yours is as well- so it’s pretty easy to hide.
How did you find out you had it? I came across an article on Jim Eisenreich my junior year of college, and thought, “so this is what’s been wrong with me all these years!” A trip to a neurologist a couple weeks later confirmed it.

Third-grade teacher wondered about it
Then I saw a specialist or two, then ended up seeing Dr. Cummings (not sure the first name) at the City of Hope for the actual diagnosis when I was in fifth grade. At that point, they put me on Catapres TTS-1 skin patches to control the tics. I eventually moved up to TTS-2 for the increased dosage, but in all honesty it really didn’t make much difference other than I’d get asked how the quitting smoking is going in the locker room. Also, chlorinated water in a swimming pool takes the patch off my skin in a minute or two. I eventually went off the patch because I couldn’t be on my parents’ insurance anymore and couldn’t afford the patch on my own. I didn’t notice much, if any, increase in the tics.
