My apologies for posting away from the diesel topic, but I need your guy's opinion on color. You see, after many years my '69 Charger is finally getting its paint and body work done, and I need to select a color. It's been orange since I've owned it and everyone including the body shop is insisting I pick a different color. My personal finalists were plum crazy (a deep purple), sublime (lime-greenish-neon-yellow sort of thing) or just keeping it orange. There were some suggestions of painting it flat black or silver, not unlike the Charger used in Blade and the Fast and Furious movies, but right now "everyone" seems to be doing those colors. Also, I was thinking about getting a fiberglass hood and keeping it flat black. So what do you guys think? Any opinions and suggestions are appreciated...

I'm looking to get a Toshiba, lol. But you're right-shouldn't be too much of a hassle. As for games without physical copies, some Steam games won't work unless you're connected to the intrawebs, whether you have a hard copy of the game or not, like the latest Alien Vs Predator for example. There are ways around that but for the most part it seems that internet connectivity is more important than actual physical copies; I say boo, to that... -

Being a laptop are there any other concerns you have to take into account when reinstalling the OS, or is it just a reformat and load? Isn't some of the preinstalled software necessary to run some of the laptop's crucial functions? How do you tell what to reinstall and what to discard? -
Yes! Lol. Yeah it's pretty clear what the scientist in the CDC said to Rick. Pretty depressing, huh...

Is reloading the OS the only way to get rid of the bloatware? -
Cool. Someone wake me up when Evil is up for pre-order...

Jesus Christ. I just saw this catastrophe of a movie. He took the awe-inspring story of the Tuskegee airmen, a struggling group of minorities trying to make their own way in a bloody, global campaign, and turns it into a virtual puppet show where the acting is so wooden, the story so uninteresting you'd think we were watching Episode 3 in the 1940's. Why wasn't Hayden Cristensen in this? That would've been the icing on this dead cake. People all over the world piss and moan about George Lucas all day long, but I've never had a problem with him, his works, or the plundering of his fans until now. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING about this movie was so bad it was almost unwatchable. I kept hoping for Warbird candy/porn to save my eyes but the aerial sequences were so cartoonish and about as inspiring as me "wooshing" scale models around my apartment re-enacting dog fights that the real fight was to keep from falling asleep. Hell, even Pearl Harbor the movie managed to keep things exciting with their portrayal of the bombing and the dogfight sequences over Europe and that movie was made almost 10 years ago, and dare I say that Pearl Harbor's CGI orgy looked better?! This was the worst $12.50 I have spent in my entire life...

Nicer than the Staples and Best Buy models and a much better value, obviously. I see the only advantage to buying at Staples or Best (Worst) Buy is being able to return it ASAP if there's a problem. I don't know how people deal with returning big screen tv's and all of that to Amazon and wherever else when there's a problem. Another consideration is size-I'm pretty sure all of the laptops I'm looking at are monster machines that I bet I'll have trouble finding a bag for also. Personally, I prefer the higher power and lower costs associated with desktops over similar laptops, but being able to lug a PC/blu-ray player around is nice. Hmmmm....well to me that's pretty much a deal breaker. I'll have to stick with the egg... -

Wow, thanks guys. What do you guys think of Tigerdirect, the company itself? Somehow I don't get that warm, fuzzy, safe in the bosom of my mother feeling like I get when I deal with Newegg. If I limit myself to buying from Newegg, here are some of the candidates I was thinking about: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834214613 or http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834214492 -

Or the 2009 Star Trek movie. Or the new Thundercats cartoon. Changing a legendary, established franchise with millions of frothy-mouthed tattoo bearing followers is risky business but done properly, it can be just as legendary and provocative as the original material...

Whaaaa? The mood slime in New York was a great story, lol. Yeah well I don't see why they don't reboot this franchise like everything else. Look at Spiderman, Superman, Incredible Hulk, etc; they're rebooting those franchises like....every other month and no one seems to have a problem with it...
