Bret Spector left a comment for Sam Phillips"Haha. Well it is very simple you see. I just save up a lot of money. I mean, I'm 15 years old, what else do I have to spend it on. I'm going to keep this thing for a while and now I'm saving up for a car. You look a little bit older…"
Sam Phillips left a comment for Bret Spector"Haven't visited your profile in a while. Quite the computer you got. And of course naturally it did get a very firm grip on my attention, and out of exploding curiosity, how DO you afford all that1?"
Bret Spector replied to Chris Pirillo's discussion 'Are Hackers Suffering with the Bad Economy?'"I totally recommend SuperAntiSpyware. It's great. That's all that I can say about it. It gets rid of everything; viruses, rootkits, worms, trojans...whatever, just like Chris said."
Bret Spector replied to David Beck's discussion 'Twitter will kill you'"This is a wonderful video. Just wonderful.
lol."
linx left a comment for Bret Spector"Hi Bret!
Sorry it took so long to get back to you. I keep getting distracted by gadgets and stuff. I've been away to the Dominican Republic for the last couple of weeks, and I resented having to pay over the odds to surf.
Hows things anyway?…"

So, You Like Caviar?
Well let's see. About me...
I'm not that difficult of a person, I think. Just hang around me for a couple of days, and you'll see that I PREFER things simple and that my life is pretty normal. I have two dogs that make my life younger as I get older. Rusty and Rosy, are their names, and they make a very big part of me. Dogs are a man's best friend, I stand by that 100%.
I love to play video games, of all kinds too! Racing, Shooters, Sports, RPG, Straegy, you name it, and if I will try it out. I like to learn more and more about games too. Information on the newest games, reviews, previews, look up cheats, and such. I'm also trying to learn some C++ language so that I can make my own games. To me, that is the ultiamte thing that I'm dong right now.
I could probaly spend the entire week on this website. Although I would die of starvation...and smelling like fish. This website is everything that I need. A great community, full of non-jerk, smart and insightful geeks, that share common intrests with me. That's all that I could ask for, and I should thank Chris in person for giving us this great website.
I go to school. That's all i have to say about that. I'm straight A's. Talk to people. Have a girlfriend. It's all good. There's a lot to say here about my personal life, so if you're intrested, then shoot me an email. We could talk.
I love my family dearly, even though they get on my nerves a lot. They make my life easier. I'm not sure that I make their lives easier though.
That's pretty much all I have to say right now. I think that I'll save all the other important stuff for blogs and whatnot. Message me if you feel like it though. That would make my day. It's not that I'm lonely or anything, but talking to random people that I know nothing about, just gives me a rush, ya know?

Summer Plans
Posted on May 17, 2009 at 8:50pm 4 Comments 0 Likes
Ahh summer! It's right around the corner, if it's not already here. The weather sure is here. I live in Lubbock, Texas, which is in kinda North Texas. It's hot. Been hot. Going to stay hot. I love it. I live in Texas, so as you can image it's hot most of the year. That's what most people think, and it's true. I mean, there hasn't been any snow here for the past 4 years. I love it. Though I do love snow.
Enough of that stupid weather talk. Onto summer plans.

Netflix for Xbox LIVE - Muy Bueno
Posted on May 3, 2009 at 7:43pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
This may be really late, but I must CONGRATULATE Microsoft for giving us such a great feature to an already great lineup of features to the mother of all of these great features, Xbox LIVE!
Netflix has chanced the face of Xbox LIVE, it really has. Before, I was not a user, or subscriber to Netflix. It was something that I really just didn't pay attention to. I would see all of the commercials, and I would just let my mind wander during those commercials or something, like it was just… Continue

Recommended AntiVirus Software
Posted on April 30, 2009 at 7:10pm 4 Comments 0 Likes
Okay, so I've been downloading some files recently, and I've been slack lately on scanning them before I open them, and I opened one file that have a Trojan on it. I've ran SuperAntiSpyware a lot, and it's gotten most of it, but the Trojan has infected a System 32 file on Windows Vista (home premium)
I have ran Avast! like crazy, and it has found nothing. In fact it thinks that SuperAntiSpyware is a virus and it wants me to delete it. I don't know if the Trojan also got to… Continue

Mac OS X Leopard

Ok, so I have Windows Vista Home Premium, and it works like a charm. I haven't had any problems with it at all, software or hardware related. It's great.
But ever since I started following Chris about a year ago, and saw that he was an avid Mac user, I have been questioning whether or not my new computer should be a Mac or a regular Windows desktop. I choose the Windows desktop obviously, because of financial issues.
I have discovered the joy of torrenting though in the… Continue

SSD!
Posted on April 26, 2009 at 6:19pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
This is inspired by Chris' video on SSD, and his new Samsung one that rebotted his Mac "stupid fast" in his words. That pretty much proved to me that SSD's are the way to go.
I have a couple of questions about them though, and my eyes are weak at the moment (condition=laziness) so it would be pretty cool if you guys could answer them.
Does anyone know where I could find some good deals on GOOD SSD's. I'm going to be putting one in my computer. No doubt about… Continue
