Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Google Reader users - is there a way to tell it not to include friends' shared items in the Unread count?

I use Google Reader, but I have no friends. :(

My computer parts arrived today! Sadly, I will have no time to assemble them until next week. A quick question while I'm thinking of it: Thermal paste... Should I use it? My last processor came with a small tube, but this one did not. Should I try and find the three year old tube and use what's leftover?

Really, it didn't come with thermal paste? Is there maybe a pad on the bottom of the heat sink or something? A retail processor should have something.

If it was a boxed Intel processor that includes a heat sink then you should see a thermal pad already on the bottom of the heat sink.

Yeah, there are some paddy looking things on the bottom. So no need for paste, then?

I am suddenly curious about thermal paste.

Hey. New board.

Any of you use a Roku? Should I open the box one of these days?

I love it. I use it every day. Right now it,my PS2, and an over-the-air antenna are the only things plugged into my TV.
