What FPS does it get?

Also, OpenOffice.

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

You misspelled libreoffice.

No seriously, due to internal reason, open office has been abandoned by the community and they forked it, creating libreoffice. Open office will probably not be maintained anymore.

 I checked my order history and found out that due to some minor technical mishap, my order was canceled the day after Cyber Monday. Which means I was cheated out of $100 in savings that are no longer valid. Dammit.

I almost have Windows 7 for $80 comeon.

What the fuck.  You still have the order confirmation emails, right?  That's what customer service is for, don't let them fuck you over like that.

Probably pissed off a long time friend and crush by not wanting to spend the night at this guy's house with her, due to the creepiness of the owner. And no, there would be no way I could advance in the relationship. I wouldn't even be sleeping in the same room.

I happen to know a client couldn't have done what they were charged with. The evidence proving this is not admissible as evidence. Thus, I will have to find another way to prove it....

I am having a hell of a time explaining to this person why their hatred of the police, justified or not, will not serve them well in court. I do not expect them to change their mind. I do expect them not to show it in court for their own sake. I also know the arresting officer; he is not a terrible man per se. Some of his colleagues on the other hand.... I can at least count on him not to lie and perhaps to even cooperate on the stand.

Now to determine which questions to ask him....

I still don't have a job. I am clean and healthy looking, I have a decent enough skillset and I'm positive, but I rarely get further than the interview...

Turns out my dad ordered this processor without checking the motherboard's maximum power support. Thus, my awesome CPU has been frying my motherboard and RAM for some time. And I just found out today, when the computer repeatedly crashed.
Spent 4 hours today working with it; RAM and motherboard seem to have no permanent damage. Old processor is back in, new motherboard is being ordered. No Skyrim for a while. :(

SATs are faster than you presume.

Way, way faster.

I missed about 2 questions on each Math section simply due to the time limit. And I have half a sentence on my essay.

Funny you would mention that, I got my second SAT scores back today.

1810, a 160 point improvement from last time. Score range is 1710-1910. That's a score that should get me into the colleges I want to go to...but for some reason I'm not happy. I want more.

I think I might take it a third time just to be sure, and this time I want to break 2000. I just can't feel satisfied with this.

Congrats. What's the max possible now? Back in my day, 1600 was the max (800 verbal, 800 math).

They didn't change the score per se, they added a new section.  Now it's Math, Language and Writing, instead of combining Language and Writing.  I think it's a useless change myself, because what about a 1600 point scale doesn't confer what a 2400 point one will, but whatever.

More seriously, it means the upcoming primary extravaganza will be that much less crowded and that much faster.  This shit is my sports.

Literally, if you asked him that question, that's how he responds.  At this point, I don't think anybody even knew what he was talking about anymore.  He was basically running to be famous, suddenly got really famous, and thought he could win.
