I guess I can give the Yahoo Mail server a break and slow down on checking my email every hour to see if I got an invite. Blah.

General / Re: Monday Night Absence« on: September 03, 2011, 03:12:46 pm »Quote from: "likwidtek" Heh. I'm sorry I wasnt trying to be a total jek face about it. I have SO MUCH bad experience with friends getting sucked into pyramid schemes and me having to sit through a sales talk with them to turn them down nicely. I just feel bad saying no to a friend. I personally feel bad for anyone that got into Amway/Quickstar, I won't go into detail in regards to Anyway, on the other hand apology accepted and thank you for wishing me success. I don’t mean to beat a dead horse but since you mentioned “pyramid scheme I feel obligated to state the difference between a Pyramid Scheme and a Legitimate Network Marketing Company. There are a lot of people that don’t understand the difference. A pyramid scheme can be defined as a fraudulent money-making scheme that is based on a non-sustainable business model that involves the exchange of money primarily for enrolling other people into the scheme without a legitimate product or service being delivered. Eventually the number of new recruits fails to sustain the payment structure and the scheme collapses with most people losing the money they paid in. In a more practical sense, probably the easiest way to identify pyramid schemes is firstly there is no legitimate product or service involved (i.e. you do not get a legitimate product in return for your initial investment). The second way to identify pyramid schemes is that you do not get a financial return unless you have successfully introduced a number of new recruits into the pyramid. Basically, pyramid schemes concentrate on the money that you could earn by recruiting new people into the pyramid and generally ignore the marketing and selling of any products or services. I find myself to be a person with high values and I would never associate myself with criminal activity. The concept behind network marketing is a distribution model that allows a company to sell their products directly to the consumer by choosing to use a word of mouth approach (networking) instead of advertising through traditional streams (e.g. media). Therefore instead of paying the media for advertising, network marketing companies are structured to reward distributors through commission in return for selling their products and finding new customers. Therefore the main focus of a network marketing company is product distribution. In fact, in a legitimate network marketing company, distributors are not required to recruit new distributors in order to earn a commission; they can earn money purely by selling the company’s product. Although distributors can choose to sell the company’s products to earn their commissions, not everybody wants to be a sales person and therefore choose to recruit more distributors into their organization as a means to build their referral base. Not only does this create a group of loyal customers, it also allows you to leverage the efforts of others to create a residual stream of income. I Hope this helps to clarify the difference. 349

Yes, I'm aware that it only takes 4 hours a week... ....No I'm not willing to give you the name of a friend of someone who might be interested." Of course you can say no, I had no intentions of soliciting the opprotnity to you or anyone else in this guild. Only reason I plugged the energy drinks was because you asked. My intentions for this guild is to build friend ships through SWTOR and to play a MMO that we all will love. I spent the last 13 hours driving to Florida today, just got the opportunity to finally reply to these messages. 350

I apologize for not making the meeting last night.
I usually attend the midnight releases of popular video games at the local GameStop. The manager allows me to setup a table to give out samples of an all natural energy drink. I had to take the opportunity that was given and I can say it was a good turnout for my business. I am required to be at the store for 10:00 CST but I do not attend all midnight releases so I will still attend Monday meetings and interviews when I am home. 355

Off Topic / Re: What Graphics Card?« on: August 26, 2011, 03:04:01 pm »Quote from: "likwidtek" I'm not trying to poke holes in your system or anything. But this is severe overkill for a gaming rig. That much RAM and XEON (server) processors are for servers. Not gaming. HUGE difference. Servers are built to be slow, precise, fault tolerant but you trade latency for stability. They are NOT gaming computers. Thank you likwidtek, I honestly appreciate you poking holes into it. Having another set of eyes on specifications and a system setup is always a plus. As I stated in my last message, I plan on using it for 3D designs etc. As far as what I am currently using, I built this rig around April of 2008, I spent about 1700 on this setup back then, I probably will be upgrading it slightly as well just for gaming.

Off Topic / Re: What Graphics Card?« on: August 26, 2011, 02:57:14 pm »Quote from: "Milhouse" We put Xenons into our workstations at the office for doing 3D design and rendering work. If you're not going to do that kind of processing, you're not going to see any benefits outside of a benchmark program. You won't see any benefit in video games at all. They're just not designed to utilize the processor that way. I am actually planning on using it more for 3D design and rendering work then for gaming. I personally wanted to get into doing graphic design work as a hobby / business, I know I should probably buy cheaper system to start out but if I start a business by selling graphic designs then it will become a write off in the end. 358

The system will be a dual processor setup with 24gigs of ram to start, with the potential to expand to 48gigs. System will have 4 Way SLI support with 4 EVGA GTX590 Fermi 3072Mb 768bit.
Honestly don't have a real reason for Xeno over i7 other then price. I could downgrade the mother board and ram. 359
