This is the one where you drink until you can't anymore.
Then the next morning you have one nice and early.

[dark_drake]

Happy Birthday! Parents doing anything special for you?

[nslay]

Oh man, now you can vote! Wait...no...
You're an adult now! Wait...not quite...
Well, at least you could choose to enlist in the military!  Wait...not that either...
Well...I guess all you can really do is drink...man 21 sucks
Happy Birthday!

Now you have 23 to look forward to...when you have to pay for your own health insurance!

That varies depending on the healthcare provider and (usually) when you finish school. I'm losing healthcare through my parents at the end of December, when I'll be 22.3 years old


When you turn 25 you can rent a car!

I've rented cars many of times, but it's under my company policy.

And have a happy Birthday, Sidoh.

[Newby]

Happy birthday buddy! We were gonna get you some booze, but we had to be 21 to order.

:O

"Grats on your ding, now you can zone into the bar."

[CrAz3D]

r u drunk yet?

[Sidoh]

Thanks guys.  Nah, I didn't go drinking.  It really doesn't interest me.

I got an iTouch from my parents and some other stuff from my sister and other people.  I bought myself some new monitors too.  They're pretty amazing.

Details on monitors?

Also, here, have a super awesome dance party.

You're unlocking it, I assume?

The guys at work do all sorts of cool stuff on it, including multiplayer Quake, but you have to unlock it for anything cool.

Cant do one simple thing....tsk

lol, thanks.

I got two Samsung SyncMaster 2493HMs (24", 1920x1200).  I rolled the dice and got one open box and one retail (they only had one open box, which had about a $100 discount) and they both ended up working great.  I haven't done any sort of tests for dead pixels other than maximizing notepad and looking around for them, but I haven't found any yet.  The only thing that annoys me about them right now is the buttons.  They're touch sensitive and there's no way to see or feel for them without some light.  It's easy enough to find the power button because it's right next to the power indicator LED, but the others usually require me turning on my lamp.  They're pretty sleek looking though.  Definitely an improvement over my 19" monitors, especially since one of them died on me a few weeks ago.

Incidentally, does anyone know a good way to test for dead pixels other than the obvious?

Edit: I'll try to post some pictures later today.

Yeah, I'm definitely planning on it.  One of my friends spent hours working on his jailbroken 8GB and he was doing some pretty sweet things with it.  I figure I'll wait until I get back to Fort Collins and I'll ask him to help me since he's already been through all of the trials and tribulations.

Awesome!

Apparently, it's super easy, it's just a software thing.

The other fun thing to do is to install hacking tools on it. The big ones are pre-packaged and ready to go.

[truste1]

I don't care if I didn't like drinking, I would drink something on my 21st, it only happens once. To each his own I guess.

Still I hope it was a decent birthday.

[iago]

I had a glass of wine on my 18th. Turning drinking age is nearly meaningless to somebody who doesn't drink.

Heh, yep.  I seriously had 0 desire to go drinking or have a drink.  I don't know how else to word it... it just doesn't appeal to me.

True but a lot of the better looking girls drink, and if you don't you won't be in the same environment as they are and thus won't meet them.

[Sidoh]

I guess I hang out with a far less shallow crowd then you.  Seriously, though, drop it.  We've been through this before.  I think drinking regularly is dumb and you think it kicks ass.  It's settled.

no need for you to put up with him, i already secured our victory. being the best looking member on x86 (just ask newby), my word is pretty much the law on these matters

just ask newby, i showed him my pic... why do you think he's been wanking off 4-5x a day?

[Ergot]

Because he has been for the past 10 years?

[deadly7]

Newby's been jacking off since 7? Baller.

so ... you're gay?  Man whacking off to man picture?  Sounds like queer porn to me.  Fag != hot dude

[Armin]

After spending nearly every night of the past 2 months at different bars in different states, I feel I can safely say there's nothing attractive about a lonely, drunk and horny girl falling for you, and nothing impressive about you courting her.

i was telling him girl stories... it was necessary to give a pic so that these stories were in any way credible

it wouldn't surprise me if he did, it's newby afterall.

I don't  go to bars so I wouldn't know.

My girlfriend drinks (but she's almost 22) and I wouldn't have started dating her if it wasn't for the fact that we both drank. We talked some at work, but the first time we actually hung out outside of work was at someones house drinking before a concert.

because she drinks? What I'm saying is we wouldn't have hung out outside of work if we both didn't happen to want to drink before going to the concert, we just hit it off that night and things went from there. She didn't even drink that much, it's just the fact that we were able to hang out casually outside of work.

You're presenting this as if being able to hang out casually is contingent on the consumption of alcohol. It's much harder to pick up a girl who's sober as opposed to someone who's under the influence.

I still stand by my statement so don't bother getting on the defensive about it.

Seriously, though, drop it.

Will do.

[Ender]

no don't drop it

please continue, you have my blessings

I'm saying if we have a similar interest (parties) then we'd be more likely to hang out. In this case it proved true. It's not like we met or first talked while intoxicated.
