Anyone travel through the Winston-Salem area?

Whoa there yerself dude. I was referring to the eMachine TOWER systems. I'd buy an Acer/Dell/HP/Compaq laptop depending on the price and specs (and if I had the cash), but I won't ever buy a tower with the eMachines name.

I'm a total sci-fi nut... Star Wars, Star Trek (all versions), Stargate (all versions), Babylon 5, Tek War, etc, etc...

Ugg, Dell? Personally, I won't buy any "name brand" computer unless it's a laptop (since those are next to impossible to hand build). For the money you pay for their name you wind up with stuff (mainly preloaded software) that you either don't need or will never use while owning the machine. Same goes for other "box" deals: Compaq, Gateway, etc. And stay miles away from eMachines, they are the worst of the worst... Pentium D? Are you serious? Did you know that the only difference between a P3 & a Celeron or between a P4 and a Pentium D is that the Celeron/D FAILED certain diagnostics and had features bypassed? They are made on the same friggin' dies, in the same damn batches... If you want a CPU that's gonna last, not have heat problems, and be a good price, AMD is the only way to go. You can get the same (or better) speed from an AMD chip for LESS money. Look here for side-by-side benchmark comparisons: http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-10442_7-6389077-1.html

There once was a plan for a get-together in Winston-Salem, but I don't know if that one ever worked out.

I don't have an XBOX (and don't plan to cuz i have an intense hatred of Microshaft), I have a Wii... Anyone out there wanna trade Wii codes?

I'll stick with my soft-modded Wii system... I don't have to "buy" games for it anymore, thanks to the magic of "backup loaders"....

Working at an amusement park would be my dream job. Lost my accounting desk job back in January of 09, spent 16 months on unemployment, and now work as a cashier for a gas station chain (for minimum wage).

I've done coding in classic BASIC (the version where line numbers were needed), Quick Basic, and Pascal, but now I can code with: C/C++ Java/JavaScript VB/VBScript Also learning to work with bash scripting (as mentioned above). I LOVE running Linux instead of Windoze...

Umm, which distributions were you trying? I don't have a PhD and I've installed, run, recompiled, updated, modified, etc many different distro's on many different machines since 1997...

I would be interested in some of the larges, depending on the price and shipping to Winston-Salem, NC.

My name on fetlife is the same as on here.

Damn, sounds like fun and I love Star Wars, Star Trek, and many other Sci-Fi storylines. But I can't get there, too far to drive (can't afford the gas or the driving time)...

I feel ya, i still haven't found any local friends in the Winston area...

There's a mom&pop pharmacy in Walkertown which has 24-count packs of them in large selling for only $11.39 a pack (almost bought one, but didn't want to be recognized cuz it's a small town).

Sorry for the bump, but recently discovered that they didn't shut down, they moved to a larger location closer to the center of Winston-Salem...

I love D&D/AD&D, Shadowrun, and Battletech/Mechwarrior...

Anyone in the Piedmont Triad area (Winston-Salem, Greensboro, and Highpoint) or any nearby areas?

Did you guys see the "Love Boat" episode? The bully was wearing a diaper, and specifically said "Look at me, I'm wearing a diaper.", to represent Cupid in 2 scenes (Baljeet at a table with his girlfriend, and Candace at the same table with Jeremy). Oh, and just an fyi, it's "Phineas"...

Thanks. Going through the signup stuff now. Good thing I own a copy of SC1...

I wish. I don't even know how to get on the list for it... I've played SC1 and loved it...

One store I just was in the other day had multiple bags of the "for Women" pull-ups clearanced, but no pads (and definately no tape-on diapers, i have never seen the tena tape-ons anywhere, even the samples i've gotten recently from tena were either just pads or pull-ups).

But most mobile seniors tend to prefer the discrete pull-ups instead of tape-on briefs. (At least that's what the lack of tape-on products on regular store shelves would lead a person to believe...)

FYI, I don't normally poop in a diaper or in underwear. And the rare times it did happen, I changed within 10 minutes of it. And I have yet to wear a diaper for more than 4 hours from the moment I first put it on. Apparently YOU have never tried using a diaper, so you are getting involved in a topic you have no concept of.

Why did I say the toilet is the enemy? Apparently you did not read my signature at the bottom of my post: Toilets waste water with every flush, and holding the bodily wastes inside until a toilet is available allows the body to absorb additional junk that should never be absorbed. <- That junk leads to issues like obesity, digestive disorders, etc. And as discussed previously, holding the bowels too long can cause SERIOUS health issues, likely even death. Watch wild animals in their native habitats, do they "hold their water" until hey find an "appropriate" location, or do they simply "go" where they are whenever they need to? The whole concept of bladder and bowel training is NOT a natural behavior, it is a LEARNED one. Any yes, toilets can get VERY dirty, particularly if you have to deal with public toilets.
