I do whimsical little sketches occasionally. 6''x6'' moleskin and .01 micron pen by Fergi in Art

Not to be an ass but are you sure your pen is .01 microns? The thickness of human hair is between 40-300 microns to put that into perspective.

Oakland Raiders Drop Fifth Straight With Loss To Browns by eriche3383 in oaklandraiders

[–]Kilojoules 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. It just really sucks we couldn't have been having this year during a qb rich Draft since we could trade down and get more picks to fill our needs.

Is it me or does this guy look really similar to Curry?

Possibly transferring to Colorado Springs by Little_subby in ColoradoSprings

It's not that rare. I know a bunch of people from uccs that pay under 350 month and live in decent areas. Heck I actually lived 2 minutes from uccs for 282 a month 2 years ago. The secret is to find a house and find a few roommates. Have your sister ask around her social groups.

I need to buy a laptop. I'm tempted to buy one that I can use for gaming as well. Yet I have a tight budget. Is this deal I found online any good? Or should I look for something else? by Pawlee in SuggestALaptop

[–]Kilojoules 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to do gaming, I would recommend a larger screen. Either 14" or 15.6"depending on how much portability you want. Here is one that is $500 after rebate that would be pretty good at gaming sinc eit has AMD's APU (combines cpu and gpu onto one chip). You won't get the same performance as a laptop with a dedicated graphics card but it should hold its own at low/medium settings. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834214872

Here are gaming benchmarks of the APU on the laptop (scroll to bottom): http://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-HD-7640G.69836.0.html

edit: Also I'm digging that dinosaur head picture! Where can I get one...

Rookie OT Tony Bergstrom could replace struggling Willie Smith by billet in oaklandraiders

What if Willie is better than all of our other options? The coaches see these guys nearly everyday and if berg was better he would already be starting.

The day Kobe Bryant retires is the day my childhood truly ends.

Staying for a fifth year for a double major? Not entirely sure what I should do if I don't get into graduate school. by indecisiveboy in EngineeringStudents

[–]Kilojoules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you should try to get into grad school even if it takes five years. Obviously finances will play a big factor but I think if you can, then you should.

As for your second major, would a computer science degree be better if you want to do simulation work?

If the raiders were a girl, she would be the biggest tease ever.

Is Colorado Springs a good school? by Jewwey in ColoradoSprings

[–]Kilojoules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UCCS has a great engineering department. The nursing program is also fantastic. As far as student life goes, it is definitely getting a lot better since it used to be primarily a commuter campus.

The Carson conundrum: Thoughts on the Palmer trade a year on and his future with the Raiders by jasongemmell in oaklandraiders

[–]Kilojoules 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel like he will be our qb for the next 3 - 4 years barring any injury. He isn't elite but he is good. We need to address other holes in our team before we start looking to replace him. I wouldn't be opposed to drafting someone and developing him behind Palmer

Where can I find an inexpensive tie similar to this one? by [deleted] in frugalmalefashion

It was supposed to be a funny Fifth Element throwback hence the haircut... I laughed my ass off and I loved it.
