The ads that really tick me off are the half-assed scam mail you get in your email for game accounts and such. Seriously there are so many mistakes in their words that It would be obvious to anyone but the stupidest of Computer users.
You know what? Fuggit, I like scam ads. This is social Darwinism at work, people!

 Heh

Just the other day I had an email sent to me that wanted WoW account information, which I don't have since I don't even have an account lol.

That makes me wonder what kind of person indoctrinates children to believe in the end of the world. It's not like kids have the amount of cynism needed to cope with the idea.

 Hmm, I've always wondered why one would try to convince their children that "THE END IS NIGH! GAME OVER MAN, GAME OVER." If I honestly thought that I would probably try to keep it from them.

 I think I've decided one a name. The Grimshot Imperium shall do nicely for now. Alrighty, who wants to become a loyal minion? Armor and weapons are handed out on a first come first serve basis.

 Hmm, if the world ends I think I'l use the chaos to my advantage and become a warlord. Always wanted to rule with an iron fist. I should think of a suitable name for my territory...

 The internet pisses me off too... Though in my case its only trojans, viruses, spyware, ect that enrage me most the time. Wikia websites have been pissing me off lately since they get ads from time to time that try to infect you. The bastards.

 I've got this tan and black bird that made a nest in my window (screen isn't there). Watched the nest being constructed, fairly interesting to observe them. Guess the female builds while the male fetches materials. I'm tempted to start recording my observations, probably a wasted effort though. Going to be fun to observe the whole egg to bird process within arm's reach  :D.

Wow, thats bad. I can't believe they were so blind. Its almost like they don't even bother to put any effort into their jobs.

So this is definitely no joke.  The Fourth Amendment has been basically nullified in Indiana.

 Give the government an inch and they will take a mile everytime. This does not bode well for us.

 Oh yeah before I forget, I still feel horrible  :(

 Lets see...

I loved collecting rocks as a child.

I have always liked fungus.

I love eating mushrooms.

I love things that menace with spikes.

I've sold rocks to people as a child (didn't even need a trade depot).

When I was younger I dug holes as deep as I could just to see what was under there.

I hate to shave.

I have cave adaptation.

I love ordering others around while doing nothing myself (If only I was a noble).

I would love hitting criminals with a hammer as a career.

I would love to solve all my problems with magma if I had access to it.

 Had more in common then I thought...

I bought an Alienware PC once.  That was pretty dumb.

 I thought about it once, it was liquid cooled if I remember right. Still think thats cool (lol, pun) for some reason. Eventually I settled on making one with my dad, more my dad making it though lol. Thats how I ended up with a computer twice as big as normal ones. Damn thing is pretty much covered in fans, 3 or so in the back, 3 in the front, and a giant one on top. So yeah, I never plan on buying a prebuilt computer again.

Monitor stuffy stuffs.

Highest rated in that size.
That's what I mean by don't buy Alienware. :b
You'd be paying for the brand, not the quality.

 Oh I see, I guess you're right lol

When my mother gets home from work, she's going to force me to help her work in her garden ._.  I hate gardening, especially weeding, which is exactly what she wants me to do.

 I don't mind gardening myself as long as it for food or something else useful. I hate growing things like flowers, shrubs, ect, ect.

I use an air compressor to clean out my computers and never had an issue. Just dont blow on the sensitive bits at point blank range and you should be ok. I agree with vacuums being a bad idea though. They suck  :P
Not just pressure that you need to be concerned about. I'ts common for a compressor to get condensation in the piping. Once you lose a laser to an eletrical fire caused by that, you get cautious.

 That is a good point, surprised I never thought about condensation before.

Get this one instead.
Don't buy Alienware.

Thanks for the suggestion, I've read up on both and can't make up my mind on what would be better unfortunately. I'm leaning toward the Alienware still though since the Asus has some problems with a slightly green tint from what I've read. Other then that I would say that the Alienware is the better gaming monitor while the Asus is the better overall... I'm not actually tech savy though so I'm going to shut my word hole now.

Alienware is overpriced as fuckall.
Here's another one with the same price.
Notice that this and the ASUS are both 27" and the Alienware is 21.5". :b

 Thats true, but I'm used to small screens anyways at this point. 21.5 is not only bigger than my last monitor (around 18" or something) I think It may be near the same size as my tv lol. I'm more worried about performance since I don't want to get another monitor for another 6 years or so. The high price does bother me though...

NEVER Use a vacuum on the inside of your computer. Even weak suction can cause damage. Use a light brush or compressed air (from a can, never a compressor) for anything loose, and a rubbing-alcohol rinse for anything stuck.
