Well, poop

Turns out the power supply in my computer (according to the little sticker on it), is rated for 350 W max, which, on a side note is interesting, because the video card recommends a 400 W power supply.

This means that either the new video card, whatever it may be, will have to have something along the same lines in power requirements OR I buy a new power supply when I get the video card (although I have no idea how difficult it is to replace a power supply) OR I get a video card that allows for an extra (external) power supply.

I suspect the latter may be the easiest way to handle it.

(no subject)

So I'm killing a little time at work by watching YouTube videos, and I notice, while watching Pantera's "Walk", that the list of videos on the side includes such other metal hits as A-Ha's "Take On Me" and Foreigner's "When It Comes To Love"

Not that the people whom this is intended for (i.e. teabaggers) will actually care

but that recent nuclear treaty that President Obama signed, which is reducing the nuclear arsenal?

Even after the reduction (which won't be fully implemented until 2012), the new cap on the number of active nuclear weapons for the U.S. will be between 1500 and 1675 (down from 2200). So we still have more then we would ever realistically need.
