Learn a new thing every day

Post by draconic74 » Sun Jun 13, 2010 8:25 pm

I was searching around and for some reason ended up trying to look up all possible information on my MacBook. Eventually, by comparing all the small, little known values, I managed to find out that this thing was made in Late 2006. So its nearing 4 years old, a lot less than I thought it was. Also, what shocked me more was that I learned this thing has 2 cores, or so says Intel. It's sluggish and annoying, which is all the more confusing.
I have finally started to seriously consider looking into upgrading to Leopard, but first I need to find a way to back up all my "important" files.***


So, perhaps one of you has found out something today that you never knew about or that was just plain shocking/weird/hilarious. I dont care what, just post something. Hmm... Perhaps this should be in Spam.




*** You know, Halo Demo and its mods, Red Faction, AvP2, Marathon, Diablo 2 and a number of other games I have collected over time. Also, my absolutely massive folder of stuff, well deserving of the name "Stuff". And the "Something" folder. And my photoshop folder with its 50+ Mock Collective sigs (lawlz). And all my little experiments in trying to re-learn C++. My large library of RvB, Reach, and YGOTAS videos. And my growing number of iPod apps, which I really need to clean up (2+GB !?!??!). And I suppose my homework folder can be dragged along as well. Oh great, I went on a rant again. And again, I tried to save this post with Command+S so I wouldnt lose it. I do that too often.

Mmmm.... Ohhh yeeahh.

Ahem. On another note, I realized that I am less tired after only having slept 2 hours than I would be from sleeping, say, six.

I learned that mature failures are even worse then immature ones.
The armaments which thunderstrike the walls
And monarchs tremble in their capitals.
The oak leviathans, whose huge ribs make
Of lord of thee, and arbiter of war;
Alike the Armada's pride, or spoils of Trafalgar.
