4% in...prolly will take another 96 minutes at this rate...formating
400 gig HDs quals teh uber slow boy lemme tell ya. In other news my
new SATA controller is quite nice...hrmmm...are there limits on how
many SATA controllers you can have? Like the one I got is for SATA1
drives but at some point I'd probably like to get a SATA2 controller
(3 gig trans instead of 1.5)...although I guess you can probably use
1.5 drives on teh 3, backwards compatible and all like that...of
course if I had two cards I could put like EIGHT SATA drives in, in
addition to my 4 IDE drives...runnin out of power connectors
though...and space to house the lil bastards...might need to put in a
second power supply...might need to get a new case.

"...we...may...have...to blast."

"I'm not a professional, I'm an artist."

"Your Usenet blinders are my best friend."

"Usenet Filters - Learn to shut yourself the fuck up!"

"Drugs killed Jesus you know...oh wait, no, that was the Jews, my
bad."

"There are clingy things in the grass...burrs 'n such...mmmm..."

"The more I learn the more I'm killing my idols."

"Is it wrong to incur and then use the hate ridden, vengeful stupidity
of complete strangers in random Usenet froups to further my art?"

"Freedom is only a concept, like race it's merely a social construct
that doesn't really exist outside of your ability to convince others
of its relevancy."

"Next time slow up a lil, then maybe you won't jump the gun and start
creamin yer panties before it's time to pop the champagne proper."

"Reality is directly proportionate to how creative you are."

"People are pretty fucking high on themselves if they think that
they're just born with a soul. *snicker*...yeah, like they're just
givin em out for free."

"Quible, quible said the Hare. Quite a lot of quibling...everywhere.
So the Hare took a long stare and decided at best, to leave the rest,
to their merry little mess."

"There's a difference between 'bad' and 'so earth shatteringly
horrible it makes the angels scream in terror as they violently rip
their heads off, their blood spraying into the faces of a thousand
sweet innocent horrified children, who will forever have the terrible
images burned into their tiny little minds'."

"How sad that you're such a poor judge of style that you can't even
properly gauge the artistic worth of your own efforts."

"Those who record history are those who control history."

"Is my .sig delimiter broken? Really? You're sure? Awww,
gee...that's too bad...for YOU!" `, )
