I was stuck on a priority stack queue / linked list array implementation for a java program for my final project, my buddy just helped me out though. Thanks dude, glad to see a fellow IT geek in here
Starting a bachelor's program next month. Prepare to be pm'd. Lol

Hi guys, anything new?
I was skimming on the app and saw that someone named Fmadrigal got a bunch of thanks in a row, but the actual post is blank.
Can someone tell me what was posted?

Actually, IIRC, back in the day folks were flashing Bell firmware to their VZW Motorola e815 phones to get java working on them. Leading me to believe that Bell does do CDMA (and therefore LTE). If it were me and I had the cash and it said SCH i515, I would have been severly tempted . . . .

More about SSDs (they're NOT always faster and more reliable):
SSDs have ridiculously fast seek times (0.1ms or faster, compared to maybe 10-12ms for hard drives), so when loading lots of files (especially small or heavily fragmented ones) they will load much faster. But the latest hard drives have fast transfer rates of 150MB/s (which will be even faster when the new 1TB platter drives hit the streets) which is faster than some lower end SSDs. I think Intel SSDs have write speeds as low as 70MB/s, so if you're recording huge amounts of data a regular HDD will be a better choice.
A big SSD benefit is shock resistance, where you're unlikely to lose any data just from dropping a laptop onto a concrete floor. But they do have a nasty failure mode, with many people reporting Sandforce controller-based SSDs becoming bricked and losing all their data.
Also beware of installing an SSD into a WinXP box or another older operating system that doesn't know how to use TRIM and align partitions properly, as you can end up with a machine that slows to a crawl over time.

I'm an NJer, but I've actually been to that clinic a few times (Harborside), and the owner is absolutely shot! haha

I just finished a bottle of Epic 10 a couple days ago. I didn't care for it, personally. I like wine and I like beer, but not mixed together...
With the Epic, each one is different. They're also not meant to actually be drunk until the last one comes out on 12/12, rather to be stored and aged until sometime after 12/12. Supposed to be consumed in order from the first one (02) to the last (12). I also like that they give you the recipes for each one should you like it and want to brew it at home.

Might be you opened it before it was ready.
Though 07 and 10 were not to my liking much either. Am looking forward to seeing how they will be after the intended aging of them.

I gotcha, what if my dog get's heart worm because they won't issue his prescription? This is a drug that really shouldn't need a script anyway. Back in the day, it was thought to be harmful if the dog actually had HW, but, that has been proven false, so, I think that is where my frustration comes from. In addition, the drug that they use to kill heartworms, it's made by one company, and there is a nationwide shortage right now... you know what they use to treat HW+ dogs while this drug is unavailable... THE PREVENTATIVE. It takes 2 years + going that route, but, that is the protocol right now... so, if I go in and for some reason Logan is HW+, they will give him preventative. If he's HW-, they will give him preventative... 
I get where you're coming from though, maybe the eye thing wasn't a good example. It also would take my mind a VERY long time to wonder toward frivolous lawsuit, so, that doesn't even cross my mind. I forget that there are those out there that would love nothing more than to sue someone. As I think about it, the contacts thing isn't so different... why do I need a prescription? I chose to get my eyes checked and get contacts, if I wanted to wear glasses for 50 years without ever getting my eyes checked again, I could drive around and kill someone just as easy as I could with old contacts right? Only because I am forced to "renew" my contact prescription am I forced to get my eyes checked again. Same deal, if I am wearing them today and life is good, why would they suddenly cause me damage tomorrow?
So, yeah, I guess there is a legal aspect that I did not consider, but, I am still not going to continue going to this vet that created a cycle of seeing my dog twice per year for no reason... they could have presented me with the option when I was there in April to get him re-tested so that everything would be on the same schedule, but, instead, they said... 'He was tested in December, so, we don't need to do that...'
I do appreciate your perspective though, and I am less angry now, still not pleased that I now have to waste my time tracking down something that should be a given, but, I get it.
(btw, my contact prescription hasn't changed in 6 years, same story every time)

I chose PIT defense over DEN tonight, so some magic better happend or else I'm screwed for the playoffs!!
I'm sitting at 9-4 with a 1 game lead in my division heading into the last game. I feel good. The guy I'm playing I bean 150-75 earlier this year. I lost the #1 seed last week with a loss to the other division leader. Now he's 10-3. I'm in the playoffs, guess that's all that matters at this point.

Pictures of a radioshack screen showing details of GNex and how they will have phones in store but can't sell.
Usually when I'm on the app, if I wait a while the pics will show up.
My guess is its a Weller soldering iron
Did you pull that out of your junk drawer just to beat me?
I bow down in defeat
THAT was a phone that the cool kids had!

I have been upfront that I heard it was delayed. I can't help but wonder if he knows and doesn't care or is he this bull headed and ignorant. He keeps saying no way will Verizon recall the launch this late in the game.
How would you handle it, if you were in my situation?
Make him send you a text/vm about it for proof.
Go get Sexi Nexi in da' morning.
If no nex, go GEEKRAGE with said proof to get extra swag.
Wear puffy coat to soften the landing from being tossed out.

I am 8-5 but ranked #2 in my league (no divisions). Barely lost to the #1 team when both my LB went out and got me zero (i play league with full offense AND defense)

True, I had such a diesel team. Unfortunately injuries are killing me: Matt Schuab, Darren McFadden, Marques Colston (for the 1st half of the season), Felix Jones, etc.. Still in 3rd place though

I am not sure what is frustrating me more..... the subpar snow we've had in the rockies so far or the fact that I keep throwing money at VZW and they dont seem to want it
@Han - you may want to rethink that ski trip and just get the prime.
