Free-ish... $300 install fee. But the price on the gigabit internet service is priced right. Hope all the cable companies are shaking in their boots.
quick question for everyone here? are SSD weather and shockproof? Planning to build me a external hard drive. Saw a deal on newegg 240GB SSD (Kingston) for $170. Thinking about pulling trigger.
cb -- you could put that ssd in an esata drive enclosure. it's about half as fast as internal sata. in real world testing it's marginally faster than usb 3.0. it really comes down to if your pc has usb 3.0 - go with that. if not esata is easy and cheap to outfit to your pc.
for breakfast i had a naked juice protein zone. tasted like a really tasty banana apple smoothie with liquid chalk.
I doubt it's weather or shock proof much but why would you want an external SSD? You won't see the speed benefits of SSD with USB 2.0 or even 3.0 has enough inherent latencies that it's really a waste to use that money for so little storage space without the speed benefits.
you are too generous wookie. like george jefferson i've moved on down. mine is now a kia grill. and it's kinda small so it's a kia gril.
what's for lunch people? i'm thinking bout trying this:
how about a bunch of these?
PROFIT?
hey tech gurus,
i want to build a HD-PVR machine that allows burning onto DVD/blu-ray.
i think ill need this: Hauppauge Colossus PCI Express Internal HD-PVR
is that true?
and if so what else will i need?
i went to some PVR forum and the sticky thread was as long as TWMACs, so im hoping yallz can just break it down for me. i guess i need to figure out which channels have HDCP copy protection for different providers. guess i can still use component cables or sumn.
oooh so complicated.
p.s. - should i get direcTV? you like it?
DirecTV is great...except when it's raining! lol
Used to eat there when I worked for Booz in Crystal City.
I need to find somewhere to eat tonight before my adventure on U Street.
top -- dipping my toes. too lazy and cheap to buy a juicer. dem janks are expensive for something you have to clean daily. if i wanted to clean something daily, i'd have kids. FML.
anyone going to citi open next week?

metro dupont:

@JRK: Have you been to Crystal City Restaurant? =) That's VA's version of a boobie bar.
Haha!
One of the gals I work with juices regularly, and brings it in sometimes. Most of them taste really terrible!
I've had the first one you posted before. Not bad. I know there is no added sugar, but the sugar is still pretty high.
Have you tried the low sugar muscle milks? They have some good flavors too (banana smoothie...cake batter, yes, I said CAKE BATTER!)
I think I'm going to try to go Friday.
come to my house. ive been makin all sorts of pureed veggie curries. mash up a bunch of veggies and add a whole spice rack in crockpot. serve over rice = supreme tennis health
although i am fresh out so (2) district taco al pastor tacos are on their way to me. nom nom

At Cvs across from kabob palace. That joint is worse than the return section of ikea. The number they are on is 52 and my number is 81. Top it off I threw away my number by accident.. Oops. I suppose I'll
Just sit in Cvs for the next 20mins
review. chick with bone is good. lamb was decent. sides were good. almost lost a tooth eating the salad.. same thing happened to thumber.. they dress their salad with rocks.
overall place is jannal.. but i'm still a fan of wheel of meat and like driving 5 blocks.
Yep, drives to work alot recently. Metro is not bad, but their train schedule is really inconsistent nowadays. I can stand taking longer, but I can't stand being late 10 min's one day and early for 15 the next. Really throws my schedule off after work to prepare for family dinner and getting kids.CB.. do you drive to work? where do you even park. must be govie to have such long lunch breaks.

topeezy - yesh the sugar content is pretty high. i likes mine ice cold so i put it in a cup with ice and sip it over the course of an hour or two. i will try some other options with less calories too. think i'm going monday or tuesday to the sovran bank, i mean legg mason, i mean citi open.
cb - what's the best indian in our neck of the woods? i'm craving some curry and funky smelling goodness.
Hmmm, just wanted to run a menu by ya'll. I'm the chef-in-charge for next Friday night's dinner at our Legion Post. We typically have three entrees: a "special" and fish and shrimp (lotta Catholics and Southern folks weened on "(fried seafood) on Friday"). They usually clamor for a grilled chicken I do (with a nice dijon/cilantro sauce) but I'm ready to try something different. I'm thinking...beef fajitas.
Won't have the opportunity to do it on an outdoor grill but the commercial setup inside is an amateur-wannabees dream. I've also got an 80-yr old former Marine who, cheerfully!!!, does all the KP. That stainless steel sparkles!
We typically serve about 20-25 "specials" and another dozen each of the seafood items. I'll have an assistant chef and expediter who'll handle the deep-fryer so I really only have to concentrate on the grill/main entree, sides and dessert.
So...typically, I'd grill the entire skirt (or flank...or whatever cut of meat we can afford and is available) and, after resting, slice it up for our family to "make their own." Here, obviously, I'll have to make some logistically accommodations: before marinading, divide the flank into 2- or 3- portion sizes (so I can grill to order) and have the peppers/onions/mushrooms all sliced to grill to order as well. A little more intensive than standard fare but I think it could work.
Fresh guac and salsa...and a key lime pie.
Other than "spanish" rice, any other "seasonal" or "cultural" side suggestions?
Entree, 2-sides, tea/lemonade/coffee & a dessert for $8. Not a bad deal (but it means I can't go $$$ wild with ingredients). Veteran members and their "guests" always welcome.
Lotta work on the prep side, but I'll have plenty of "help" for the three real hours of dinner service. Labor of Love, to be sure.
