The Short Answer

Sam
hey, what are ocz like
Larry
OCZ? as in the RAM?
Sam
well, sd memory
Larry
as in, what's their reputation?
Sam
yeah
Larry
so, like, what would the general geekery and technological community have to say about the overall stability, reliabilty,and performance of said brand, on aggregate, and on the whole, ignoring any and all anedotal outliers?
Sam
yes
Larry
If I get your meaning -- and please, correct me if I'm out of order, or if I've shaded your question with the wrong intent, that is to say, flavour -- then what you would like to ascertain from me is some sort of zeitgeist surrounding OCZ and the components they make. A barometer, if you will, of the company and it's feeling of ill or goodwill among the technology enthusiast crowd. Ignoring, of
Larry
course, enthusiasts who may have rigourous and frankly shocking loyatly to, shall we say, competitors brands. What you would like to get a sketch of, in short, is an answer to this question, "Is OCZ, good?"
Sam
Yes, a simple, good or bad will suffice. I do not need a detailed and thorough discussion of the pros and cons of said brand.
Larry
So you would not want to know, for instance, if hte local dealer of OCZ certified equipment is in fact a latent homosexual with an alarming collection of burro erotica? Or that, say, their current labour policies in the RAM production field are second to none?
Sam
Whilst intrigued by the Mexican food sounds Burro, I have no idea what it is and do not feel it will influence my decision on whether or not to purchase memory from said company. Nor do i particularly care for the labour policies, as I feel my being an "EveryDay Hero" allows me certain leeway in my purchasing decisions in this regard.
Larry
They're pretty good, I guess.
Sam
thanks

Excuses, excuses.

Mike
you have a kid..its the perfect excuse
Larry
hahaha
Mike
Yeah...sorry (last minute) Mias not feeling well
Mike
she just yakked up her sweet potatoes all over the dog
Larry
holy shit, you just made up that excuse on the spot, so smooth! so natural! you should write a book
Jim
I'm surprised they don't all want to just go somewhere cheap and buy you gin and take in all the hugs.
Larry
and they'll be like "wait, this isn't YOUR birthday Larry"
Larry
and i'll be like all puppy dog faced and be like "so.. no LAN party then?"
Mike
I'd love to write a book but Hudson is running a bit of a fever. He's got a bit of a rash on his cheek too which may be a sign of fifths disease. I really have to keep an eye on it. you understand right. Sorry.
Larry
i'm fucking astounded
Larry
you should be a Facebook application
Larry
need an excuse, click here
Larry
fucking rad.
Jim
"no I can't go. Mike's kid is not feeling well and she just yakked up her sweet potatoes all over the dog"
Mike
Thanks for clicking the button. Unfortunately I cannot create an excuse right now as it seem the Norwalk Virus has paid us, our kids and our dog a visit. Unless you have some handy tips for getting hotdog vomit out of bed spreads, I won't be able to talk to you for a bit.

Mike Says:
ragin drunk...gotta be home by 9
Mike Says:
for TF2
Larry Says:
holy fuck, youguys should start mastering the Get the Engie in IMPOSSIBLE PLACES skillz
Larry Says:
apparently you can crouch jump on the dispener
Mike Says:
link us to pics
Larry Says:
ppl get in pretty much SUPAR places
Mike Says:
but you need a 2nd person to set up near you
Larry Says:
and you can also set a TELEPORTER EXIT in weird spots that youc an't jump to, then build a teleporter entrance and get up there

Mike Says:
so if they try to rocket your sentry, the other guy smokes em
Larry Says:
wha?
Larry Says:
oh right
Mike Says:
being an engy alone in 2fort is pretty much useless...soon as a heavy or soldier shows up with a medic, youre toast
Larry Says:
yeah
Mike Says:
whats the point of having that so high?
Larry Says:
you need to have ppl respond to your screams for help, at the very least
Larry Says:
a spy can't sap it
Mike Says:
it has no range and is a sitting duck
Larry Says:
and a demo man can't hit it
Larry Says:
i'm not sure what it's range is
Larry Says:
iv'e seen those placements before,t heyare pretty useful
Larry Says:
BUT if you can sneak by, it doesn't cover the cap point
Mike Says:
so whats the trick?
Larry Says:
a dispenser on the far right or left, crouch jump on the ledge
Mike Says:
can you jump on other players for a boost?
Larry Says:
nono, just onto the dispenser
Mike Says:
booo
Larry Says:
"Simply - crouch jump from trolley near computer bank, onto computer bank. Build dispenser. Crouch jump onto dispenser, jump, and place teleporter exit on the ledge above you. Destroy disp, make teleporter entrance, teleport up to that area, etc etc."
Larry Says:
only the engie can crouch jump onto his dispenser
Larry Says:
you know where a good offense place is? in 2fort, in the BAD GUYS sewers, where the health and ammo is
Mike Says:
so jump on "toss" the exit up
Larry Says:
then get a teleporter exit there
Larry Says:
no, the blueprint can be placed above where youc an jump, i guess
Mike Says:
no one uses the sewers but me on 2 fort
Mike Says:
always empty
Larry Says:
you obviously haven't played enought 2fort

Fruit or Vegetable?

TinTin says:

Concentrated Meditations on Rodger

Larry
damnit, when was the last time I was sick
Larry
i have a baby!
Larry
a spewing, phlegmy, coughy baby!
Larry
WHERE IS MY PAYOFF?!
Sam
the love and enjoyment you get each day when holding and playing with your beautiful child
Larry
right..
Larry
so, no ETA on my sick days then?
Sam
that is in your hands
Larry
hey, does Rodger have a kid/wife?
he strikes me as someone who doesn't
Sam
he has a partner
Larry
hahahah
Larry
what do you mean, he has a partner
Larry
what are you insinuating?
Sam
absolutely nothing
Sam
all i know is he has a partner
Sam
and he likes to suck cocks
Sam
recall last line
Larry
hey, some ppl like to fry the chicken, and eat it slowly with their incisors, who am I to judge how he eats his fowl?
Sam
i think his partner is female
Larry
really?!
Larry
i mean..
Larry
that throws me for a loop
Larry
i assumed he still lives with his aunt who raised him, ever since his parents died in a rare safari off the coast of Borneo
Sam
ah
Sam
sorry to shatter the illusion
Larry
his aunt, who has an exotic predilection for all things voodoo, kept him on sick days through her liberal use of new orleans hot foods and a distaste for food safety
Larry
he found solace, early on, in computers. their cleanliness, their distinct desire to have nothing to do with auras or voodoo dolls.
Sam
wow, you think about Rodger a lot
Larry
at the age of 32, he finally found a career as a programmer, and has been happy ever since
Larry
but still lives at home.
Larry
his only chance at anything approaching a relationship was a tryst his former C++ instructor made at him. unfortunately, his instructor was from hardy czech farming stock, and Rodger had neither the sophistication nor the social depth to realize that 1) the instructor was a she and 2) that the instructor was making veiled passes at him to "instantiate HER object"
Larry
yes, i do.
Larry
he's an enigma
