And that's dealing with people that just dropped 4g's on a bike... image the complaining OCP-ness of it all.
But the sticker isn't perfectly straight.

True, but at least your foots in the door. Plus, employee price on the bikes must be SWEEEEEET.

Imagine if you can custom them up, custom Cervelo track bike would be nice.

confirmed: walz caps fit giant melons. :) Didn't buy one, but they seem pretty nice, although a little floppy. I was partial to the grey ones.

Word to that, my buddy works in Assembly and rode with CSC over the weekend.
He has a couple Cervelos now and one of the broken test frames on his wall as art.

Computer help please! Where is a good place in town to pick up some RAM? Is there anything I should avoid?

I need a 512Mb DDR333 card ASAP! :)

How bad is it that I'm sitting here thinking "well, how much do I like being a lawyer..."

Talk about a CSR that can think on his feet and deflect the angriest customers with legalese. :lol:

Yo, is this DDr 1 or 2? Ddr1 prices exceed that of 2 even though it's nearly obsolete.

After law school I took a year off and worked at a computer shop and people would come in and talk smack, and I'd always play dumb. Then if they got under my nerves I would say "oh, well I once read this article in the Toronto Sun, and it said that according to the principal articulated in Boots Cash Chemists v. London Pharmaceutical Society...."

that job is officially awsome; assembling high-end road bikes all day. yes.

TRaffic Jammer 06-14-07 11:42 AM

In the graphics/prepress industry .... if you can't amuse 'em...confuse 'em. "Well the postscript from the application seems to be causing a stack error on the rip, so we pulled apart your file and found it was a non-compatible shading error in one of your vignettes ...." That'll usually make them happy it got printed at all. :lol:

Sounds like it might get boring pretty fast to me. You've built one you've built them all. *shrugs*

I don't know! How can I tell?

When I do a system scan at www.crucial.com, the recommended RAM is either DDR PC2700 or DDR PC3200. Does that answer the question?

iherald 06-14-07 12:31 PM

saw this on RBR


"Looking for new carbon sole shoes I found:

http://search.express.ebay.com/Sport...cling_Footwear

And bought a pair of carbon sole Nike Altea II for $80 delivered! Check your size. If they do not have what you are looking for right now check back later. Inventory changes quickly. After my purchase I went back and found a pair of SIDI Genius 5s for $10 more. No regrets."

That's *exactly* why doing any print design jobs scares the life out of me. :P Then again, dealing with browser inconsistencies and bugs would probably scare a lot of graphic designers if they wanted to make a website that actually works well. :P

TRaffic Jammer 06-14-07 01:22 PM

word.... web design freaks me out..... I can make the images no problemo but assembling it nicely ...eek

Grab this util as well, then go to memory. My bet is that it's DDR 1. in that case it won't really matter what PC**** it is unless you're overclocking or gaming hardcore.

Most computers should carry 512 or 1gb ($100 ish) sticks although it might be harder to find now. Cavit8 was seeking ddr1 before...

P.S Util is CPUID.

jeremywhitehorn 06-14-07 02:28 PM

does anyone have a set of riser bars they would like to trade or take some chump change for? oh and a mtb stem in 1 1/8"? i've got lots of road size but no mtb size...

somnambulant 06-14-07 02:37 PM

speaking of mtb.. ride tonight around 6:30.

Well, I didn't try on the super-duper wool ones cuz it's like, summer out there... :o

I do concur also that they fit large melon heads... :)

Yeah, I bought a gig chip off of James. DDR is 184 pin and DDR2 is 240 pin. The notch in DDR is slightly offset, the one in DDR2 is pretty much in the middle of the chip. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDR_SDRAM
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDR2_SDRAM

Buying a higher number (eg. DDR-400) is fine, as it will just run at 333 anyway.

As operator said, it can be a challenge to find. I'd suggest here: call first http://www.computation.to/

Good place, although weird to find. I've bought two monitors and a laser printer from them.
