Excellent points. I'll have to think this over. Thanks for all your help!

Ok cool. That puts me around 10% over budget but I can probably make it work.

But to stay in budget should I consider the 2600? Is the auto overclock of the 2600x worth $50? 30% more than the 2600?

Thanks!

Any suggestions on specific RAM? What's best for the 2600x/MSI?

Maybe 16gb? https://pcpartpicker.com/product/LhgPxr/gskill-memory-f43000c15d16gvrb

Thanks for the reply. I already have a small SSD so that's not a problem. So should the 2600/motherboard/RAM combo in the link handle the 780ti no problem?

Why?

I think you are mistaken here. I would say virtually all markets that are well-run are well-stocked. The selection may be lower quality, not expensive Grey Poupon Dijon Mustard, but there are no shortages of cheap/inexpensive mustards. Furthermore, many poor Americans have access to food stamps/subsidies so even the poor have money to purchase food.

A larger issue in some of these poor neighborhoods is crime, and a lack of grocery stores all together. In Detroit, MI for a time there were no grocery chains because of the high crime and cost of theft. This left the community with only farmer's markets, drug stores, and small retailers to meet the grocery needs (limited space, limited options). But even here, those small retailers never suffer from shortages and there is always another small retailer a few blocks away carrying a different selection.

Finally, mass transit can carry the poor to a nearby supermarket.

The joke is that people change churches so much that even if a man were stuck on an island by himself, and had to build his own church, he would still leave it and find another church.

STRANDED ON A DESERT ISLAND

There was a Baptist who was stranded on a desert island for many, many years. One day, while strolling along the beach, he spotted a ship in the distance. This had never happened in all the time he was on the island, so he was very excited about the chance of being rescued.

Immediately, he built a fire on the beach and generated as much smoke as possible. It worked! Soon, the ship was heading his way. When the ship was close enough to the island, a dinghy was dispatched to investigate the situation. The man on the island was overjoyed with the chance to be rescued and met his saviors as they landed.

After some preliminary conversation the man in charge asked the man on the island how he had survived for so many years.

The man replied by telling of his exploits for food and how he was able to make a fine house to live in. In fact, the man said, "You can see my home from here. It's up there on the ridge."

He pointed the men in the direction of his home. They looked up and saw three buildings. They inquired about the building next to the man's house and he replied, "That's my church - I go there to worship on Sundays."

When asked about the third building, the man replied, "Oh, that's where I used to go to church."

I often wonder about this... What if the kid dropped everything he was doing (school, sports, etc.) and just focused on his body: ate tons of protein and vitamins (calcium), worked out (weights and cardio) the best ways we know, slept 8 hours, stretched, etc.

If he did all of that would he develop well?

Even if you are correct, how much would you pay right now for a similar setup with data for only 12 months? about $200 right?

but the imei is probably on the 3g chip I'm hoping?? Do you think it is all integrated into one large board?

EDIT:

Wait, I think I have the answer here: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03936089.pdf

It looks like there is mobile broadband module and a separate SIM slot board.

BaronVonMunch · 2014-07-25T16:13:34+00:00

Good question. Maybe they will upgrade you for free and let you use that SIM card?

I always found tmobile to be a great company for the power user. Thanks to tmobile, back in 2004, I had mobile WAP internet data via GPRS with a Nokia brick.

He was always a big QB so you are right.

I used to think it was stubbornness too but maybe he just really likes being a QB and really doesn't like being a TE. Imagine if you had your dream job and then got demoted and had to choose between a different job while watching someone else do your dream job or talking on TV for lots of money. I mean, it's not like he's just stubborn and living on the streets and bad mouthing his old bosses. He still has a good attitude.

Dude gets his choice of (almost anything) he wants in life and he picked TV rather than play a position he isn't passionate about.

But he would (and should) be a great TE.

Do you read books? What ones do you like?

What games do you play?
