My Stepfather's 1986 VW Golf Diesel got 50MPG, and would get you there ...eventually. It still got 50MPG in 2003 when it had to be driven to the junkyard. It would no longer pass safety regs in MA, and it would be prohibitively expensive to fix. His 2002 Golf TDI gets 50MPG and produces 2x the HP and 3x the torque, or so it feels. The only downside I've observed thusfar is the turbos needing to be cleaned and/or replaced. I'd be in the market for a VW diesel myself, but idiot MasNoNoNoNoNoNosetts doesn't allow the sale of diesel passenger cars anymore.

Keep the kitty away from those!

Why? I like the picture I posted better. ... Testing spoiler tags:

Watched the Lakers get their collective ass handed to them by the Celtics.

Secret handshake? Hell, there's a MySpace profile for those things.

w00t! I can return to making an ass of myself posting oh-so-witty comments.

Maybe the will prove more entertaining.

Durr, posting flash, how is it done? Is it possible to embed youtube videos?

That's pretty cool. I had a lot of fun with a dollar store camera a while back.

Wow. That thing is a beast. More like Rockcrusher.

That was one of the signs when I knew I had well and truly quit. Once cigarettes started smelling bad to me, and not enticing, I knew was free from their grasp. I do get occasional cravings, but not very often anymore.

Man, how did I miss this thread until now? I quit cigarettes in 1999, but there's so many other smartass answers: White Owls. Crack rock. Big, fat cock. Sherm! ...and worst of all: Smokin Buds!

I went to Landmark College in the mid-90s. It was at the time the only accredited institution in the United States that specifically taught students with learning disabilities (primarily dyslexia and ADD, which I have both.) When I entered in the fall of 1995, it was $32,000 a year. I have no idea what it is now, but I shudder to think. The main reason Landmark was so expensive is the salaries of the faculty, and they're not paid particularly well. When I was there, the student:teacher ratio was 2.5:1.

I googled Silent Engine and count this. Most other hits mentioned a 550W supply, so it's probable that's the PSU you have. It should be quite sufficient to power the 8800GT.

I should not find this as funny as I do.

IAWTC. Billy has endured the wrath of both Tyll and Kevin Gilmore, which is not something I would wish on anybody. In spite of that, he's still here and bears no grudge. That is a testament to his character.

I think most people came down on Gordon not because of the amp he owned, but because how responded: with infantile tantrums, ham-fisted condescension, and badly-veiled threats. There's at least one user on here who has the flagship (and therefore most-hated) RSA product, the B-52. He's not terribly active here, but there was a thread where some head-casers mocked his amp. He took the entire exchange in stride and responded in a good-natured manner. The motto of this place is "sorry about your thin skin" and that's not a joke. I disagree with ojnihs on one point, most new users do get hazed, to varying degrees. If you can get past the initial onslaught and show a bit of a clue (or at least willingness to learn) you may find you do okay here. Alternately, this place may be to acerbic for your liking.
